[wind bay]

Yeah there are differences between ppl lol
I don't disagree

My initial statement was just that the general population doesn't care enough about chess
So being top 1% of the world doesn't mean much because it includes ppl who don't care

Top 1% of competitive players is a whole different thing

[old verge]

Maybe even 60 could be too old for 2000 for some people

[fluid ridge]

ah fair

[magic quiver]

No time limit

[wet jewel]

Chess isn't even about intelligence
It's about discipline and mental health really

[grim pewter]

Ima braid the chess community with 5 million to give me gm title for 1.5 seconds

[visual ocean]

Thinking about this makes me sad

[mighty lion]

I know a person irl whos 78 years old and 2150 FIDE

[fiery sentinel]

It’s just not worth the time

[normal mason]

i think i could do it

[fluid ridge]

it’s a mix, mostly about time spent tho

[normal mason]

id end up hating chess but probably

[old verge]

I'm not saying it's too old to be over 2000, it's about starting and reaching it

[hexed magnet]

does anyone wanna play a chill rapid game?

[pulsar otter]

@wind bay not even I play competition most of the time my rating stopped I learned most stuff

[wind bay]

Most ppl never make 10 mil though

[magic quiver]

Yeah I agree with that. If you’re not disciplined you won’t make it very far

[visual ocean]

There are people who's mental capacity degenerates slower

[wet jewel]

Well thats what I said kinda
What can stop you from spending enough time is lack of disicipline and bad mental health

[normal mason]

there was an english grandmaster who was 1800 otb when he was 18 (basically same as i was) and he made GM at 35

and he was not paid 10 mil to do it

[wind bay]

What is your rating

[fiery sentinel]

Right, but you only get the 10 mil afterwards, how are you gonna afford the title?

[pulsar otter]

@wind bay 2400

[wind bay]

Bruh that is well over top 1% of the world lol

[visual ocean]

Bro you're getting 10m, get a loan

[wind bay]

Yeah that's true it is a huge risk

[normal mason]

i would definitely need the 10 mil for the journey to grandmaster though

[pulsar otter]

@wind bay a13 year old kid beat me in a competition

[normal mason]

the journey itself is not paying anything 💀

[fiery sentinel]

Getting GM is not a guarantee, look at Levi

[grim pewter]

1 mil can do it too if you ask me

[sterile pebble]

Win is a win

[fiery sentinel]

Not. Even. Close.

[normal mason]

eh idk

1 mil id probably choose another career

[visual ocean]

He's not getting 10m, most of his time is dedicated in content creating. If he dedicated every single waking hour to becoming a GM he would achieve the title

[grim pewter]

Like as in funding your whole expenses and hobbies

[sharp iris]

@cyan jasper My highest damn, 1k elo above my rapid elo

[wet jewel]

1 mil is less than people realize when you're talkimg about the absolute best in the world at something

[pulsar otter]

@wind bay what's Ur rating ??

[normal mason]

oh yeah sure expenses for sure covered in the 1 mil

but i want more money left over 💀

[mighty lion]

Well not now its way too late for him no matter how much he dedicates

[clever grotto]

What format is this in

[wind bay]

I haven't played in a long time idk

[normal mason]

you can easily spend 100k+ depending on how long it takes you

[fiery sentinel]

Sure, the point is that it’s not as simple as you think

[pulsar otter]

@wind bay close to ??

[sharp iris]

Don't know, just the chess.com puzzles

[wind bay]

2000 online

[clever grotto]

Oh right

[visual ocean]

Nah, still doable if you're rich and have a lot of leisure

[pulsar otter]

@wind bay rapid ??

[wind bay]

yeah

[mortal bronze]

levi isn't good enough to become gm

[old verge]

Probably not actually, travelling left and right for tournaments drains your money way quicker than one thinks, it is possible if everything goes smoothly and your growth is linear, truth is you're probably gonna lose quite a few tournaments when trying to get norms if you even get there

[mortal bronze]

he isn't even im level

[fervent seal]

kel you're still alive?

[mighty lion]

Mam hes old now and he even lost a lot of rating, hes at about 2300 now

[tacit sierra]

He definitely is,IM isn’t that strong

[fervent seal]

im lowk a 2200 now

[magic quiver]

I mean you can coach for 100 an hour but I agree it’s not worth the cost, time and effort since you would only get 10-15 hours per week max

[mortal bronze]

yeah. who are you?

[fervent seal]

i am Nyliumm

and yes levi is FM level not IM, but he's focused on content creation not chess

[mortal bronze]

i know im isn't that strong but levi is just so weak that he isn't even im level anymore

[normal mason]

1 mil should be enough, like for some kids whose parents keep paying for their travel and tournaments and are currently like FM/IM level in like 10 years or smth, expenses dont exceed like 300k

[mortal bronze]

true

[pulsar otter]

@wind bay U know have U heard of anyone beating 3000 engine

[normal mason]

but as an adult i guess it would take longer

[mortal bronze]

doesn't ring a bell. did you have a different name or pfp earlier?

[fervent seal]

do you remember Anton?

[uneven plover]

@wooden sphinx game today?

[pulsar otter]

@wind bay It would be a flex

[mortal bronze]

no. a pfp would be more helpful i am not that good at remembering names.

[pulsar otter]

😁😁

[normal mason]

100 an hour you have to be a very reputable coach lol

[old verge]

As a kid it's more likely I guess, but even that might be unlikely the way the economy is going now lol

[normal mason]

idk why chess coaching is so cheap

[fervent seal]

used to have Cole Jermaine Palmer as my pfp

[mortal bronze]

no one cares that much about chess

[fervent seal]

its not

[normal mason]

like even no name GMs dont get to charge 100/hr

[mortal bronze]

interesting. i do remember it somewhat

[normal mason]

i know GMs charging 40

[normal mason]

compared to other hobbies it is

[visual ocean]

You'd have to stop working all that time too, so every single expense during that time should count too. I'd say I'd take you ~1.5m If you live in a developed country

[mortal bronze]

yeah 50$/h is reasonable for gms. most people won't pay more than that

[old verge]

bro wtf is he actually called Jermaine

[mortal bronze]

unless the gm is an exceptional coach

[fervent seal]

depends on the counry tbh. i was paying around $60 a month to a strong IM, 3 lessons and 2 hours a week

[hot elm]

bro i love chess.com showing "you made a mistake here, you could lose a rook" and then i lose the rook in like 20 moves down the line

[normal mason]

i mean if ure very dedicated to this you will end up living in europe which cuts down costs quite a bit

[fervent seal]

ya

[normal mason]

as in travel costs will be much cheaper

[fervent seal]

middle name

[normal mason]

accom you have to strategically select tournaments

[visual ocean]

Just bribe your GM opponents

[mortal bronze]

we are talking about hourly rates. 60$ for 8 hours is quite cheap i think

[old verge]

that's crazy, the more you know I guess

[normal mason]

ok very stupid calculation lets say every tournament costs $1k, $1mil you can go to 1000 tournaments

[mortal bronze]

i have seen sub 2000 cc players charge more than that

[fervent seal]

yeah, thats why i said it depends on the country. if the average salary is high, then they're going to charge more. my country is lowk poor compared to the West and I found a good deal so

[mortal bronze]

nemo chess method

[visual ocean]

I can charge while being under 2000? :0

[normal mason]

yeah that is robbery

[mortal bronze]

you can charge at any level

[visual ocean]

Don't say that, I love Nemo

[fervent seal]

sub 2000 "coaches" aint teaching you anything

[covert dagger]

i would feel so goofy charging for coaching at 1700

[old verge]

People pay for anything if they believe it helps them

[visual ocean]

Yeah but will people actually pay

[covert dagger]

yeah pretty much

[fervent seal]

people are dumb, remember

[mortal bronze]

they are just allegations but i find them believable

[lone vine]

I won my first tournament as a 13 year old with 149IQ (officially tested)

[covert dagger]

like we can be good at the game to people but completely not a qualified coach level

[wet jewel]

If you dont have a title you probably cant coach

[mortal bronze]

yes

[fervent seal]

disagree

[normal mason]

bribery in chess is also so damn cheap too

[covert dagger]

thats a little far

[normal mason]

everything in chess is cheap

[mortal bronze]

sub 1000s can't tell the difference between 1500 and 2500

[fervent seal]

lmao

[visual ocean]

I just got myself a new side hussle

[wet jewel]

Hmmmm

[normal mason]

there are no eyes on random norm tournament games so no one is betting on them and the fee to throw is like nothing

[fervent seal]

1900 is godly for them

[mortal bronze]

no no don't scam people

[mortal bronze]

yeah

[covert dagger]

if youre like 800 a GM coach vs a 2100 coach istn going to make that much of a difference

[visual ocean]

I'm 1900, it'll be a very small scam

[fervent seal]

still a scam

[wet jewel]

Fair enough

[mortal bronze]

it definitely will. they just won't be able to tell the difference

[mortal bronze]

depends on your price really. 10$/h and it's not even a scam imo

[sharp iris]

Locked in for 5 minutes, back to 1500

[fervent seal]

coaching should start from 2000+ elo. also you shouldnt coach anyone if you've never played FIDE rated OTB tournaments before (unless you're american)

[sharp iris]

[normal mason]

yeah something like that

[visual ocean]

I'll probably do 5$/h

[covert dagger]

huh

[wet jewel]

Why do americans get a pass

[fervent seal]

cuz they dont have FIDE

[mortal bronze]

very cheap. you will definitely get students

[sharp iris]

Man, i swear, if i actually sat down to study some chess, i could be somewhat decent..

But i'm very scared of it, it seems like you need to spend 20 years studying it

[old verge]

I mean objectively, even a 1500 or 1800 can teach a few things to a 800, but it is a waste as there are actually good coaches and players and anyone can get to 1500 without any coach, people just throw money sometimes

[fervent seal]

USCF i think

[visual ocean]

Try and stop me

[mortal bronze]

if you do things correctly

[covert dagger]

we have FIDE and USCF tournaments

[fervent seal]

really? didnt know that

[wet jewel]

Well yeah than have them be 2k+ uscf elo or whatever the equivalent would be

[normal mason]

its like anything else, just practice on the edge of your comfort zone and you will get better

[fervent seal]

i dont understand uscf ratings sadly

[visual ocean]

Studying is so boring I keep picking and leaving the reassess your chess book

[covert dagger]

its totally not like that, its just about repetition and playing a bunch of games while thinking actively about what you want to be better at in game

[old verge]

i have like 20 chess books I've bought or won in club tournaments but I'm too lazy to open a single one

[mighty lion]

You kinda do need plenty of years in order to be actually good

[mortal bronze]

depends on how good you want to get. you can make decent progress in a year

[covert dagger]

nuh uh

[fervent seal]

studying chess is boring af unless you actually want it. its like if you suddenly feel the energy and say "I want to practice chess" then yeah it works, but if you force yourself you wont make it

[fervent seal]

you dont

[visual ocean]

The chess way

[sharp iris]

I loved the "Magnus Teaches the London System (to every Elo)" video.
If i had Magnus actually sitting with me and teaching me, it'd be interesting af, but otherwise it's really hard to motivate myself

[normal mason]

i dont think its boring at all

[mighty lion]

Actually good (2000+ FIDE)

[visual ocean]

Depends on what you mean by good

[fervent seal]

then keep on studying, thats great

[wet jewel]

I want a chess book
That like
Studies itself
And just tells me what I do wrong

[mortal bronze]

i enjoy studying chess

[covert dagger]

im five months into my career and 1663, thats totally not how it works

[fervent seal]

2000+ FIDE? I'm a 2200 on chess.com, am I not actually good? 🙁

[mortal bronze]

i think what you are referring to is a coach

[visual ocean]

You probably can for like 20k/h

[sharp iris]

I just want to download 20k games and memorize all the patterns perfectly

[mighty lion]

Dont know how much is youre fide but 2200 on chesscom should be similar

[normal mason]

actually good is given by the formula (your elo) + 200, so for you its 2400 to be actually good

[wind bay]

In the shape of a book

[wet jewel]

Nah
I dont like people

[fervent seal]

sad to see people still dont get how FIDE works. its literally based on your country. in my country 1700 FIDEs are going to europe and dominating. And my FIDE is 1600 only, because of how competitive my country is

[wet jewel]

I think I just want an AI model built to be a chess coach

[mortal bronze]

my fide is like 1500

[fervent seal]

go to Balkan countries or some parts of Europe, a 1600 FIDE (like me) can destroy them 2000s

[sharp iris]

Bet 1500 elo in Madagascar is like top 1 of the country

[fervent seal]

yeah lol. they have no competition. sadly i didnt have money to travel around the world and dominate tournaments, and i quit chess with 1600 FIDE 🥲

[mighty lion]

You are talking straight nonsense, 1600 is 1600 and 2000 is 2000, where youre located doesnt matter

[normal mason]

probably not tbh let me check

[fervent seal]

balright

[mortal bronze]

yes it does

[visual ocean]

So I'm actually a European 2000?

[fervent seal]

not falling for the ragebait broski

[normal mason]

they have an IM lol

[sharp iris]

Damn

[fervent seal]

depends on where you live. competition level is different in every country

[sharp iris]

Bro is so close to glory

[fervent seal]

like I had a German friend, he was on 2800 on chess.com for ages and took him years to get FM

but you can go to somewhere like Poland or Czech Republic and its going to be way easier to get a title

or Balkans

[normal mason]

1500 would be top of like, say pick some random island

[mortal bronze]

online chess will only take you so far

[covert dagger]

imagine becoming the first GM of madagascar and then theres no one there to congradulate you because no one plays

[normal mason]

saint kitts and nevis

[sharp iris]

I think online is easier.. it's easier to see the chess pieces, if that makes any sense

[old verge]

I would be in the top 10 by FIDE ranking in San Marino, time to move out

[fervent seal]

He was studying and playing OTBs too. It was just way too hard for him to get a title in his competitive country

[mortal bronze]

smaller board = better board vision

[normal mason]

you should pick one where you are top 4

[sharp iris]

The 9 people underneath him will congratulate

[normal mason]

then you can go to the olympiad

[fervent seal]

not always

[sharp iris]

Yeah and it's from top and not slightly from an angle

[visual ocean]

Eventually it feels the same if you play enough otb games

[mortal bronze]

yeah i mean online chess elo isn't that reliable. otb chess is a completely different thing.

[fervent seal]

"smaller board=better board vision"

[old verge]

Doubt I'll find any in Europe that has a 1700 in top 4, at least I'm still somewhat in Italy

[normal mason]

fide pool in germany not that underrated tbh

[mortal bronze]

yeah i guess that also plays a part

[old verge]

Just gotta grind that top 4

[mortal bronze]

make it smaller

[queen mesa]

is it possible to get to 1000 elo in a month

[wind bay]

Stand really far away when playing otb lol

[fervent seal]

cant

[candid merlin]

hi

[normal mason]

if only the vatican city competes as a sports entity

[sharp iris]

I will glue myself to the ceiling

[covert dagger]

HI

[old verge]

Vatican at the Olympiads, can't wait to see the Pope in the 100m race

[fervent seal]

anyway, one day when I grow up and actually have a lot of money, I'll practice chess again, get back to 2400 level on chess.com, go to Balkans or random african countries and become a FM. getting off now, bye yall

[candid merlin]

will the glue work though

[candid merlin]

hi

[covert dagger]

HI

[candid merlin]

hi

[covert dagger]

i hope the glue doesnnt work

if youre on the ceiling you cant play chess!

[upbeat brook]

I hope it does

[mortal bronze]

if you want to become titled, you will have a much better chance of doing so while you are young.

[tacit sierra]

Is there any GM in Japan ,South Korea, North Korea

[fervent seal]

im broke af broski

[upbeat brook]

Sure you can. Chess.com exists

[candid merlin]

they can use their eyes which is telekinesis to move pieces voluntarily

[undone ravine]

is playing against 300-400 higher elo players than me make me better at chess?

[clever grotto]

How does this work

[sharp iris]

Recently (Well, approximately a year ago) scientist with the help of ultra advanced AI "invented" a new glue, it's insane, they glued a duck to a rock at sea coast so that waves would hit it all the time.

The duck is still there after a year.

[fervent seal]

cant afford entries and plane tickets to travel around and join tournaments

studying chess with a decent coach is also expensive

[mortal bronze]

younger people, especially kids improve at a much faster rate

[candid merlin]

dang

[covert dagger]

😓

[normal mason]

idts

[upbeat brook]

There's no way that's humane

[wet jewel]

It can help you see what you are doing wrong

[fervent seal]

i can do it if i get in debt, but why would i? chess is slowly dying. no perspective. not worth investing that much

[mortal bronze]

yeah if you have monetary issues then it can't be helped

[sharp iris]

It's going to be used in space and surgeries, i think that's amazing

[clever grotto]

But it doesnt affect him getting titled no?

[candid merlin]

how would you convince them to give you that specific glue

[fervent seal]

use your brain mate

[candid merlin]

so you can be glued in the ceiling

[upbeat brook]

Oh yeah, but I meant the duck part

[sharp iris]

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-puss-in-boots-puppy-dog-eyes-cat-gif-4555944

[normal mason]

chess is like, only worth the money if you can get to FM before 18 and then get into a good university

[sharp iris]

It was a rubber duck LMAO

[upbeat brook]

AHHH

[normal mason]

getting beyond FM is a waste of money in that sense

[undone ravine]

huh

[candid merlin]

fair enough

[mortal bronze]

it will be more difficult. you also have lower rd when you are older

[old verge]

South Korea has one I think

[sharp iris]

Playing chess for money is like.....

99% of people would be better off working at McDonalds, more money

[old verge]

Probably publicly north Korea too in their country to counter the fact that South Korea has one

[clever grotto]

What is rd 😵‍💫

[mortal bronze]

rating deviation

[mighty lion]

you have to spend a lot of money when youre titled player?

[tacit sierra]

Most young chess players play chess for college admission which is not good

[normal mason]

its about 30 people in the world who actually make good money from chess ability

so add more 9s to that

[clever grotto]

Alr thanks i was wondering this for a while haa

[normal mason]

you have to spend a lot of money to get good (coaching) and to play (tournaments)

[sharp iris]

Yep, and the difference between first and 30th place in terms of money is massive, realistically only 5 of them make serious money and i'm pretty sure they made most of their money from streaming and business, not actual tournaments..

[normal mason]

its not as big as in other sports though i think

[mighty lion]

I assume at some point coach isnt needed and you can train youreself, now tournaments might be expensive if you have to pay to travel to play

[tacit sierra]

About 90% of Asian chess players starts to play chess because their parents think it will boost there academic profile which is not good for chess development since there is not passion involved,that’s why Chinese players are getting less in the top level

[kindred crypt]

hey ladies

[normal mason]

as long as you can get those invitations to the top round robins then you will make quite a bit because everyone gets money even if you do bad

[candid merlin]

well, there is an alternative way, play online, read chess books in PDF

[queen mesa]

wrong server

[normal mason]

honestly the main expense is tournaments

[sharp iris]

https://giphy.com/gifs/instagram-nazoom-QBXIkx4oUcLZvRnqNP

[normal mason]

coaching is way less

[normal mason]

yes you have to pay for accomodation mainly

travel too if its far away ofc

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/throwing-daniel-stahl-sweden-nbc-olympics-discus-throw-gif-22949868

[candid merlin]

some coach for like $8 for an hour

[magic quiver]

Oh yall are still talking about coaching

[normal mason]

well if you are going for a title then that kind of coach wouldnt help but alas

[magic quiver]

@normal mason I get you need to be extremely qualified to charge 100 an hour but a grandmaster with 2-3 testimonials could probably do that

[sharp iris]

Fail of the decade

[normal mason]

but main expense is actually playing the games

[kindred crypt]

i prefer to spend it on food

[normal mason]

nope definitely not

[candid merlin]

lol

[normal mason]

if you are in new york city maybe

[tacit sierra]

There is a guy who is 1900 blitz rated charges 30$ per hour for training ,someone needs to destroy this guys confidence lol

[candid merlin]

yea especially otb

[normal mason]

i know a 2600 GM who charges 40 eur/ hr

[magic quiver]

What’s the range

[kindred crypt]

ok bet

[sharp iris]

We need Chess 2.0... With random events on the board like a meteor hitting a few pieces etc

Chess 1.0 is already solved

[clever grotto]

I feel like that pretty fair right?

[kindred crypt]

its me?

[normal mason]

yeah you cant become a chess.com GM so yeah you have to grind a lot of OTB

[magic quiver]

I’m in Northeastern US so yeah that’s probably where I got 100 from

[normal mason]

it is not

[upbeat brook]

Connect account

[candid merlin]

I'm probably gonna try hitting CM in 2 years

[kindred crypt]

say the magic word

[normal mason]

in which other sport can you find someone top 200 in the world to coach for 40 eur / hr

[candid merlin]

or NM

[upbeat brook]

The magic word

[normal mason]

what rating are u

[kindred crypt]

2800 blitz

[covert dagger]

ladies, ladies, ladies

[magic quiver]

Yeah it’s ridiculous right? Even someone who’s a professional juggler can charge upwards of 60 an hour

[candid merlin]

270 blitz, 215 rapid 💔💔 (I play like an 800 rated player but better)

[clever grotto]

I see you mean its unfair for the gm i meant its fair for the consumer xd

[tacit sierra]

I probably hold the record of biggest upset in chess on history,when I was 2500 blitz rated I lost to a 100 rated opponent,you could still probably find the game I posted on Reddit

[covert dagger]

sure buddy

[candid merlin]

yes trust

[upbeat brook]

It's like, what about us guys?

[kindred crypt]

i meant it the disrespectful way not the flirting one

[normal mason]

thats quite impressive

[candid merlin]

get enough time

[fast crater]

what is with yall its just a white screen not even on the board

[upbeat brook]

Connect account

[normal mason]

nah unless you live in australia

[idle oracle]

are you studying chess at all?

[normal mason]

then you can go for CM by zonal

[clever grotto]

Maybe its because i only play chess at night 😭

[candid merlin]

insect zone

[covert dagger]

what exactly do you mean by studying

[normal mason]

but even reaching 1500 in 6 months tells you nothing about whether you can get a title or not

[candid merlin]

theory

[queen mesa]

how does one even go about studying chess..

[idle oracle]

do you seriously study chess

[covert dagger]

im trying to

[candid merlin]

silly goober

[idle oracle]

like you would for school

[normal mason]

it does not mean you can get there fast

[signal snow]

Just watch YouTube

[queen mesa]

yeah but the videos are sooo long..

[candid merlin]

[clever grotto]

Connect ur chess account to discord

[covert dagger]

i used to play 6-8 hours a day until i couldnt have that kind of time anymore

[merry breach]

I did

[idle oracle]

playing isnt the same as studying

[clever grotto]

Idk

[mortal bronze]

1600 in 4 months is pretty insane

[normal mason]

jeez

[candid merlin]

and Kasparov Teaches Chess I think, he has a channel where he teaches things

[clever grotto]

What elo did u get to after your first month?

[idle oracle]

idk when i started playing chess seriously my starting rating was around 1800 blitz

[candid merlin]

if I got @covert dagger's consistency I would've gotten to 1400

but I'm not locking in

[mortal bronze]

online chess wasn't that serious when i used to play so idk either

[covert dagger]

i analyze all my games as well in that time and other things that are just basically what i need to improve on in my game, what do you reccommend for studying?

[covert dagger]

lemme check

[tacit sierra]

Kasparov isn’t really good at teaching chess

[signal snow]

I've watched videos with like 2k views and and even less than 1k views all in the name of learning 💀

[idle oracle]

this was like 3 years ago

[clever grotto]

There is levels to it ig 😭😭

[normal mason]

the first time i actually tried to "study chess" by myself i was 2300 online

[candid merlin]

ok 👌

[mortal bronze]

makes sense. i am talking about 14 years ago

[idle oracle]

i started doing chess again last year around this time

[idle oracle]

wow did you play ICC?

[mortal bronze]

i was 2200 online

[signal snow]

For me it's 2500 bullet right now

[mortal bronze]

i started studying chess myself like last year in september

[normal mason]

bought a calculation book and read it after blundering mate in 1 in classical

[candid merlin]

The Art of Attack by Vladimir Vukōvic

[mortal bronze]

yes! used to play on there all the time

[covert dagger]

first month i got to 1080

[normal mason]

i won that book in a tournament and i never opened it

[idle oracle]

i have that on chessable

[mortal bronze]

i am still too lazy to read books

[idle oracle]

kel do you still want me to ping you when i do dvoretsky

[normal mason]

how old is u

[candid merlin]

o

[idle oracle]

i'll probably do it until my boyfriend finishes his tournament game after my class

[mortal bronze]

i like chessable courses but i have been a bit lazy regarding that too

[mortal bronze]

i am 31 lol

[signal snow]

I was once 2800 on ICC 💀

[normal mason]

damn

[mortal bronze]

yeah

[clever grotto]

Pretty much the same as me lowk could maybe be u if i locked in 😭

[candid merlin]

aunt

[rain sapphire]

You can just get one that has only.puzzles

[mortal bronze]

i won't be free today. i have exams.

[mortal bronze]

yeah i do those sometimes. but i like online puzzles more because they are interactive

[idle oracle]

oh good luck

[queen mesa]

31 is like prehistoric age..

[normal mason]

i hope i dont have exams when i am 31

[mortal bronze]

thanks

[covert dagger]

you got this

[mortal bronze]

xd

[clever grotto]

How did u overcome rating fear if you ever got that

💔 💔

Im here playing lichess now

So i can be ready for chesscom 😭

[covert dagger]

didnt really have it

[rain sapphire]

Lol i do the same

[clever grotto]

Damnn fair

[covert dagger]

just lock in

[queen mesa]

idk what to learn in chess, i guess openings or something

[signal snow]

Me three

[clever grotto]

The play fr im 1700 now in lichess i will SOON be ready for chesscom 1200 😭

[tacit sierra]

Playing against higher rated opponents is much easier than playing lower rated,because there is no pressure about losing ,just play good chess,playing low rated opponents makes you feel pressure cuz you would lose tons of rating

[normal mason]

i dont

[jade crypt]

Learn openings

[clever grotto]

Wdym

[mortal bronze]

yeah i agree

[signal snow]

Currently preparing for 2600 blitz cc on lichess

[rain sapphire]

Thas crazy. Im only 1800 in lichess. My chess.com is slightly higher rn.

[mortal bronze]

i perform better against higher rated opponents too

[queen mesa]

alright socrates i will

[mortal bronze]

that's insane. that's like 2800 cc blitz

[clever grotto]

I feel u

[normal mason]

whats ur lichess blitz atm?

[signal snow]

No I mean 2600 blitz cc, like I'm preparing for it on lichess

[queen mesa]

all i know is like.. middle pawn, 2 knights out, or like just move ur pawns so they make kinda a pyramid shape but not really

[mortal bronze]

ohhh

[mortal bronze]

if you get 2400 lichess blitz. you can get 2600 cc blitz

[signal snow]

I prepare by playing bullet

[clever grotto]

I think theres a big gap probably at 1800 then i got to 1738 right after my provisional games in blitz tho might be easier tbf

[normal mason]

uhh

[woven moth]

how do i analyze/play out an over the board game on chess.com?

[signal snow]

My peak there is 2387

[woven moth]

i have the scoresheet but idk what to use

[tacit sierra]

Why doesn’t liches have premove

[clever grotto]

It does

[mortal bronze]

pretty good

what's your cc blitz peak?

[tacit sierra]

It’s only one premove which I basically useless

[mortal bronze]

for reference

[tacit sierra]

Especially under time pressure

[normal mason]

yeah idk why the lichess 2400s are so good

[mortal bronze]

it's very useful

[normal mason]

but u dont lose time though

[mortal bronze]

better than cc multiple premove imo

[normal mason]

i think its better than the chess.com one

[mortal bronze]

because you lose no time

[signal snow]

It has

[normal mason]

higher skill required to premove stuff

on chess.com you can just bam out a bunch of premoves and its easy if the game is over

[rain sapphire]

Use the analysis thing in settings and play out the moves

[signal snow]

I hardly beat them but my peak on cc is 2480

[queen mesa]

what is a gambit? i understood it as giving up a pawn to be more developped but idk if thats what it is

[normal mason]

on lichess ive flagged people before because they have poor mouse skills

[brazen galleon]

lichess is for cheaters only

[tacit sierra]

I’ve mean playin cc bullet for years and reached 2800 once but just cannot used to lichess premove system,I only reach 2600 there

I usually premove the entire opening

[rain sapphire]

Doesnt lichess have less cheaters?

[normal mason]

by playing 1 minute?

[tacit sierra]

And some move sequence I could premove like 3-4 moves oftenly

[pure widget]

sacrificing material for initative or center, development

[tacit sierra]

1+0

[normal mason]

thats good

[woven moth]

where do i do that?

[brazen galleon]

The point is that they dont ban them

[normal mason]

getting to 3000 by playing 10 second doesnt count

[mortal bronze]

yes they do

[clever grotto]

Whats ur chesscom account?

[mortal bronze]

from my experience, lichess takes action much faster than chess.com

[rain sapphire]

Just click on the more thing

[brazen galleon]

very very rarely

[clever grotto]

Fr chesscom takes for ever

[tacit sierra]

Yea the guy who has 3300 rating untitled definitely unskilled

[tacit sierra]

Krisovo

[normal mason]

its a different skill which needs a different rating

[signal snow]

He is 2800 960 though

[woven moth]

ty

[clever grotto]

Fair enough i thought u might of been larping but turns out you are the goat 😭

[tacit sierra]

This account I only reached 2700 though,the main account that is 2800 is like a secured account where keeps my preparation stuff for tournaments

[rain sapphire]

Valid

[desert stone]

I’m 500 elo so cool right

[kindred crypt]

hello world

[queen mesa]

so like.. u have the choice to protect something but you just move forward instead to be more advanced?

[signal snow]

Yeah 2800 960 is no joke

[tacit sierra]

I’m only 2500 rated now, already passed my peak ,I’m garbage now

[lyric palm]

Kinda equivalent to chesscom

[signal snow]

Aren't you the guy I once played

[tacit sierra]

Chess com has tons of cheaters once you reach2500+

[kindred crypt]

what the best opening

[tacit sierra]

Who are you

[brazen galleon]

Im getting refunds daily if I play much

[signal snow]

You are the 2600 bullet guy on lichess who is also 2800 cc

[normal mason]

lichess probably has less obvious cheaters

[lyric palm]

New acc with 2500+?

[pure widget]

well yeah for example kings gambit (e4 e5 f4) you have the choice to sacrifice the pawn for the center

[kindred crypt]

yes

[normal mason]

like if you are a beginner setting up an account to cheat then youd probably be on chess.com anyways

[tacit sierra]

Peak, who are you btw, have I played you before?

[lyric palm]

Maybe its because of lesser playerbase?

[lyric palm]

Report

[clever grotto]

At 1000 i got like 30 elo back from cheaters 😭😭

[normal mason]

like its just that chess.com is doing its job to appeal to people who are newer to chess

[lyric palm]

That is quite obvious

[kindred crypt]

why

[lyric palm]

Cheaters

[signal snow]

You had another discord account I think @tacit sierra

[kindred crypt]

i dont cheat

[tacit sierra]

No I don’t,this is my only account

[sturdy surge]

racist ass username 😭

[lyric palm]

Report them cheaters

[summer jolt]

i was playing games with my friend, but i didnt realize they were all rated now im down 400 rating points and am 600

[signal snow]

Maybe it's not you

[lyric palm]

Not you , the 2500+ new acc

That is obviously cheating

[sturdy surge]

[kindred crypt]

what if they are 2500 but they created new acc

[summer jolt]

[tacit sierra]

Which one

[summer jolt]

[lyric palm]

Hm

That is hard to say

[kindred crypt]

[sturdy surge]

how about tanjiro from demon slayer

also, change your username and screenname. don't be racist bud.

[signal snow]

If I create a new account right now I will be 2500 in an hour, so that doesn't prove anything

[normal mason]

anyone watched pogchamps

[kindred crypt]

exept anime

[slim cairn]

whats up everyone im new to chess and know barly anything i joined hoping to 1v1 and learn more.

[lyric palm]

2500 needs a year at least to get for normal humans , if new account somehow reach that its a red flag

[clever grotto]

Yeah was crazy 😭

[sturdy surge]

then don't ask what to get

[normal mason]

cant believe they tried to nerf ohnepixel he was so ass

[pastel notch]

dude saying that I'm cheating, reports me

[signal snow]

It could be someone with multiple accounts

[kindred crypt]

so no pfp

[queen mesa]

[proven wave]

Hello

[gusty seal]

yo WHAT is your username

[signal snow]

I have another cc account sitting at 2300 bullet 😂💀

[tacit sierra]

I have played against tons of cheaters, here are some tips to identify cheaters. 1, playing super fast with pretty much the same pace regardless of the position ——bot. 2. Giving up small advantage such a as a pawn or playing h4, rh3 and then starts pushing 3.playing pretty slow and thinking in must take moves. 4.everything seems normal but just outplays you every time with lower rated also repeat sending rematches

[sturdy surge]

racism

[kindred crypt]

nah

[gusty seal]

yeah it's not good

[kindred crypt]

@gusty seal

[sturdy surge]

also based demsoc comrade 🤝

[gusty seal]

yes twin

[normal mason]

in like blitz or something you can probably abort against most new accounts

[queen mesa]

bro my opponent gave away a queen on the second move and won what just happened??

[lyric palm]

The problem is chesscom can flag a real prodigy that is really talented as cheating too , its rare but it can happen

[sturdy surge]

WE LOVE MAMDANI AND AOC

[mortal bronze]

hi mohit

[lyric palm]

Thats exactly what I am trying to say

[tacit sierra]

Chess com loses your time before making first move which is bad,for bullet games it doesn’t give you the time to lol at their profile to indentify cheaters

[fast crater]

Yeah dude when you’re 1200, 2000 feels like the best. When you’re 2000, 2400 feels like the best. 2400s think gms are the best and gms think they’re garbage

[signal snow]

So true, I was like when I reach 2000 I will retire,here I am now

[gusty seal]

minor spelling mistake

[magic quiver]

Yeah you just have to calculate 8-10 plies accurately and timely with the correct candidate moves and have a solid positional understanding and youll put up a fight against 2400s

[sturdy surge]

he will say no and neither will i

[paper goblet]

they blundered with Rh8

King’s pawn.

[turbid coral]

dedstool

10 min unrated?

oh my god

[turbid jewel]

I'm 1600, how can I proceed to 2000?

[knotty ridge]

opening per se no, as sometimes your oponent doesn't follow the script, just general principles, control the center, get out your minor pieces, castle, etc

[potent pond]

Are you sure I could get better by playing chess alot? I was asking these other chessaddicts what they think of that view.

[vocal musk]
