[sand rapids]

Oh damn

[lean cedar]

its not, his world championship reign is nowhere near as good and i guarantee he's gonna lose it to sindarov

[signal snow]

The highest anyone can reach without locking in is 2500

[lone totem]

fair

[sand rapids]

So the best player is still actually magnus? Anyone close rn? What about ding

[glacial ivy]

🈷️

[indigo void]

Likee i have beaten 2400 elos

[covert dagger]

I forgor my line

[indigo void]

What happened

[lean cedar]

this has nothing to do with what im talking about

[hollow fractal]

@vagrant ember accept

[covert dagger]

England gambit but I forgot move 9 theory

[tawny ledge]

I know exactly what comes next 😎

[glacial ivy]

Me

[lean cedar]

id say its kasparov; given; magnus himself says best is kasparov. best current form is magnus but of all time in his prime it is between magnus and kasparov.

[indigo void]

Loll don't follow move theoryy play weird move and he will do mistakes and u win

[indigo void]

That's how u beat 1000 elo

[sand rapids]

What about fischer

[lone totem]

why you know englund theory 😔 ✌️

[lean cedar]

ya but i still think kasparov/magnus edge slightly on top

[tawny ledge]

Damn, maybe I don’t—

[covert dagger]

I don’t I just like vaguely remember what I’m supposed to do or smth

[covert dagger]

I just played e3 that’s probably fine

[lone totem]

voluntarily subjecting oneself to englund

[lone totem]

uhhhhh

[indigo void]

You didn't tell me ur useree

[lean cedar]

Anand was also super strong

[lone totem]

yeah e3 is okay

[covert dagger]

Also there’s this 2300 guy I know that plays it so I like looked at the first couple moves or smth

[indigo void]

Aww maybe there was something better

[lean cedar]

Kramnik too despite me not wanting to say that

THey were both strong WC's

[sand rapids]

Question is if I had 5 mins and magnus had 10 seconds would I win. On +0

I think i can but id get toonervous and hang mate

[lone totem]

is his name ETAL by chance

[covert dagger]

No it’s a guy I know irl

[hollow fractal]

@vagrant ember u win

[lean cedar]

Obviously you, there isnt enough time to move, and you can't use both hands

[sand rapids]

True, maybe 20 seconds is even odds

[lone totem]

ah alr
that etal femboi keeps playing englund too

[covert dagger]

I met him by cooking his aah in an otb tournament when he was 2300 and was 1370

[lean cedar]

Unless u blunder like, immediately

[vagrant ember]

Fun

[lone totem]

zamn

[uneven wolf]

With the time you spend thinking Magnus will already conjure up the tactics

[hollow fractal]

Ur wayy too good

[covert dagger]

And that’s when I learned I had chess potential

[lean cedar]

If it was online magnus could win it but not otb, cause u have to move ur hands

[vagrant ember]

I make one mistake

[hollow fractal]

And I am not good enough to spot it

[safe patio]

hello chat.

[lone totem]

fire
i think my best otb moment is cooking my 1750 FIDE state champion with a brilliant piece sac

[safe patio]

magnus here

[tawny ledge]

Well, I’m up a pawn 🤷

[vagrant ember]

I don't know why my name has been changed to this

[lean cedar]

[sand rapids]

[tawny ledge]

[lone totem]

USCF is the american one

[lone totem]

no im scared of u

[lean cedar]

yee.. i have never heard state referring to anything else tho

[vagrant ember]

What is this even mean

[indigo void]

Hehe beating 1700 easier than beating 2000 fide

[sand rapids]

But you refuse my offer

[indigo void]

When i heard 1700 fide i got excited

[indigo void]

Idk why i feel like I'll lose if i play u

[sand rapids]

[tawny ledge]

It’s still decent, I’m up a piece

[covert dagger]

Yeah but you’re 1000 so a queen means everything

[sand rapids]

Wb bullet

[vagrant ember]

I just play one game of just 960 and I just got it

[tawny ledge]

…does it really, though?

[feral crystal]

Anyone got advice for studying openings? Currently I’m doing hanging pawns for theory , Chess with Akeem to see it played against every elo with middle game continuations and Remote chess academy for traps.

[covert dagger]

I can beat you down a queen

[vagrant ember]

I think the Queen's Gambit is good

[indigo void]

I'm not fastt

[lone totem]

[sand rapids]

[tawny ledge]

[covert dagger]

MISCLICK

[lean cedar]

In USCF data, 1800 players gain +25 elo in a years time, so +250 in 4 months Wowe!

[tawny ledge]

FREE ROOK???

[covert dagger]

MISCLICK

[lone totem]

its over kermit

[dawn summit]

Dutch defense is so good

[uneven wolf]

1800 can't be this hard 😭

[tawny ledge]

FREE ROOOOOOKK!!!

[covert dagger]

WTF ok I’m down 8 pts of material but I gyatt this lemme lock in with 2 min

[lone totem]

[lean cedar]

I dunno it's just what the data says!

[dawn summit]

what’s wrong with it

[lean cedar]

So probably yeah !

[lone totem]

✌️ it is not i know some 2100 lihcess whos 1950 uscf ts is so inflated

[tawny ledge]

FREE PAWN?!!?!

[storm tulip]

Good luck

[lone totem]

everything 😔

[storm tulip]

Wait I don’t remember making my username that here

[dawn summit]

For example

[lean cedar]

Well, that is not what we're talking about. We're talking about the elo gain in the timeframe. Not online vs OTB rating difference

[lone totem]

i dont like moving the f-pawn hes chill

[dawn summit]

nah u gotta move him

[vagrant ember]

I'm gonna keep playing chess 960 and see how much ELO I can get

[lone totem]

dont tell me what to do

[uneven wolf]

aw

[dawn summit]

Move the damn f pawn

[lean cedar]

moving the f pawn can be very good sometimes best move! it's top 10 move for white first, f4, and f5 as black!

[lone totem]

do you know Wert

[uneven wolf]

who?

[chrome quartz]

is it valid that i went for this draw since im down 30 secs? Engine evaluates me with a slight advantage and ig I could've kept playing but idk I think this position is quite dead

[dawn summit]

The dutch for example

[lean cedar]

And bird yes yes

[lone totem]

unfortunate
hes from The Moon Club

[dawn summit]

I don’t like the bird

[lone totem]

he the 2100 lichess im talkin bout

[lean cedar]

It's the dutch with reverse colors a tempo up, why no like?

[uneven wolf]

what club..

[dawn summit]

It’s not bad but if u can play e4 why play f4

[lone totem]

its like the largest discord server holding online prize-money chess tourneys 😭

[tawny ledge]

Oh frick

[full cobalt]

dutch bad

[dawn summit]

it’s not

[lean cedar]

dynamics, idk, why play d4, c4, nf3, its just preference. they're all within the same centipawn margin of error its not like g4

[lone totem]

i was 1 game away from winning 20 USD then i lost a +10 position

[lean cedar]

D:

[lean cedar]

Why?

[dawn summit]

that’s wild

were u low on time

[slim cloud]

Hi

[lone totem]

not even 😭

[dawn summit]

Or was it 10+ because of one specific move you had to find

[lean cedar]

if you let engines run all day c4 nf3 ( mostly nf3) is the top combo they prefer regardless.. that is super insignificant but cool nontheless

[lone totem]

it was more like an idea
but it was easy, idk what happened

[tawny ledge]

NOOOOOOO

[slim gulch]

is he gen beta

[tawny ledge]

Welp, there goes that

[chrome quartz]

bro +10 is like having mate on the board

[covert dagger]

Bro lost

[lean cedar]

Nf3 is just the best move u can play i think.. black cant push the pawn cause it hangs and yeah

[lone totem]

basically yeah

[tawny ledge]

I was winning 😔

[sage rapids]

sup

[lone totem]

bros gen delta 😭 😭 sonn

[covert dagger]

@lone totem I won with the exchange of a queen for three pieces and a rook

😭

[slim gulch]

what about me

[lean cedar]

that is not a very good exchange xd 10 vs 14?

[covert dagger]

A queen really is everything at 1000 level

[chrome quartz]

ye it's wraps

[slim gulch]

?

[covert dagger]

Yeah I know it’s kinda 340 am and I had a long day and I had a mouse slip roo blunder

[slim gulch]

sleep

[lean cedar]

idk if it was u or ur opponent just saying lol

[tawny ledge]

Aye, I was winning even without mine >:/

[lean cedar]

queens r overrated

i love trading queens and finding positional ideas

[covert dagger]

Sorry neru but no

[lean cedar]

most ppl hate playing like this

[sage rapids]

ur elo?

[full cobalt]

[lean cedar]

well its available to everyone if you link ur discord acc to this server

[uneven wolf]

ohhh I don't take chess this deeply 🥀

[nimble glen]

Minecraft anyone?

[covert dagger]

@indigo void okay I’m ready to lose now

[sage rapids]

idk its just weird for a begginer to think that queens are overated so like im assuming ur 1800+

[lean cedar]

im not officially that strong but I know alot of chess

but I dont grind elo on chess.com so

but i have played chess and studied it for years

[covert dagger]

Me neither I haven’t played rated in a while

[lean cedar]

I should just push a bit

[sand rapids]

@indigo void gg, I gave up some crazy odds lmfao

[indigo void]

Heyyyy

[lean cedar]

is the game on ur profile? i can look at it

[covert dagger]

I’ll find it in a bit

[lean cedar]

Wow in what tc

[full cobalt]

I didnt play at their level he just didnt want a draw

[covert dagger]

Yeah there’s a couple wins, only one of them was a really good one

[potent pivot]

cant believe sindarov is gonna become world champion before fabi and hikaru

[full cobalt]

rapid and blitz

[lean cedar]

do u play chess professionally? being able to beat a 2600 is serious chess

[covert dagger]

You should look at the one draw I have with her, the person I played was Ilo something

[full cobalt]

no

[lean cedar]

that's a bit of an outlier but hey good nontheless

[sand rapids]

I drew against a 2600

[covert dagger]

@indigo void you gonna accept?

[lean cedar]

usually people who are that good, chess is a serious component of their lives

[sand rapids]

I appreciate your kind words ser

[lean cedar]

Yeah! xd very kind words

[sand rapids]

iykyk

[full cobalt]

2600 online is nowhere near professional

[sage rapids]

you can cheat to that level no?

[lean cedar]

It's at least OTB titled play. Beating a 2600 in rapid? For sure

[covert dagger]

@indigo void ?

[covert dagger]

Danyaaaaaaa

[full cobalt]

yeah you can cheat to almost any rating

[tawny ledge]

Kermiiiiit

Ok but how'd I do in our lil game? 😎

Before I threw the game out the window

[scarlet arrow]

Could beat 2600s but I'm def not a pro

[lean cedar]

Well that's why you gotta back it up :P why not play OTB or in titled tuseday if you're that good at chess? I dont understand people who are 2500 skill online and have no presence elsewhere in chess. Like usually if you're at that level, you're not doing it out of fun... because it's just not how it works.

[lean cedar]

In rapid? Show me, go challenge one I wanna see

[scarlet arrow]

You can't play tilted tuesday if you ain't titled

[sand rapids]

I tied against one in blitz

[covert dagger]

Eh, Na4 was sus

[scarlet arrow]

No in blitz

[covert dagger]

I lowkey forget what happened aside from that

[lean cedar]

Yes I know. But why are you able to beat 2600s and not able to obtain even CM? It's counterintuitive.

[scarlet arrow]

2600 rapid are almost inexistant

[scarlet arrow]

Blitz != Classical

[lean cedar]

Very good point

I didn't really consider that

[sand rapids]

How long is queue? Im approaching 2100 rapid and still find matches right away

[scarlet arrow]

• you need money to play big tournaments with strong players

[lean cedar]

But ok, rapid is somewhat more similar

[sage rapids]

the thing abt chess.com isthat if you very cleary cheat and have like 99 accuracy ur fine but if ur not even cheating just actually locking in ur account gets closed

[scarlet arrow]

Idk I'm only 2300 rapid

[lean cedar]

The GM / 2600 still has alot of time to think in rapid, same as you

\and for you to beat them, it shows lots of potential / equivalency of skill in that game

[sand rapids]

You still find matches right away right

[full cobalt]

did you cheat and get banned

[indigo void]

Me heree

[covert dagger]

2600 online is NOT gm

[lean cedar]

Yes ok but if ur that good at chess why arent u doing that like every other strong player? Like u know, usually its peoples entire lives at that strength

[covert dagger]

THERE YOU ARE

[uneven turret]

2300 not really

[indigo void]

Sorryyyy i was eatingg

[uneven turret]

but you'll get a reasonable queue time trust me

[sage rapids]

nah but ik ppl who did

[covert dagger]

It’s okay

[uneven turret]

no guarantees it's a legit player though ;)

[indigo void]

Thankkss

[lean cedar]

I put GM / 2600 like either, or, both

[indigo void]

Addeddd youuu theree

[full cobalt]

I just abort against all accounts made this year

[scarlet arrow]

Depends

[uneven turret]

same

[indigo void]

Nahh

[covert dagger]

I sent challenge already

[uneven turret]

if the account isn't six months old

[scarlet arrow]

Flan

[lean cedar]

well officially it's 2500 with norms, so, 2600 is within that range

[indigo void]

Okii

[scarlet arrow]

2300 when

[uneven turret]

i'm not playing

[scarlet arrow]

Duh

[indigo void]

Maubee

[uneven turret]

2300 peak in rapid what more do you want

[covert dagger]

Otb is not even close to online rating at the highest level

[lean cedar]

I get online/otb rating is different but yeah i wasnt saying all 2600s are gms

[scarlet arrow]

2200 MCSR when

[sage rapids]

aye can anyone coach me seeing all this 2000 talk is so inspring

[uneven turret]

2200 is basically IM/GM level in MCSR btw

[ebon parcel]

i have done it. a pawn mate.

[lean cedar]

Ya I know there's IMs in TT like 2800, which i also find crazy, but ig rapid is diff than classical like other guy brought up

[uneven turret]

in other words

give me like two years trust

[sage rapids]

[lean cedar]

I find it insane tho how a 2800 can consistently keep up /w the best players and grind in TT and sometimes even win but can't get 500 rating within that OTB

Like is it that different? How are you finding the ideas online but not in person?

[sage rapids]

its just different i guess

[void tusk]

some people just find it more difficult OTB, i think its just personal differences tbh

[sage rapids]

i can see the board more clearly online

[lean cedar]

Yes it's more difficult for sure, and time consuming but like surely you are able to beat them if you're doing it in rapid, they are just as strong in rapid, the time just translates to longer and more thinking

[full cobalt]

2400

[scarlet arrow]

Ik

[lean cedar]

It's not bullet I mean

there is thinking involved not just random moving

I'm so far from my peaks it's not fun

Lots of websites. chess.com has a ton of lessons, lichess(free)

gothamchess magnus glaze videos

[sand rapids]

Boooo so bad hahaha (KIDDING)

[storm tulip]

Best feeling is probably taking a rook with a queen for free

[lean cedar]

endgame is less about finding the right resource, and more about starting and seriously absorbing what you are being taught

[strong locust]

Surface level stuff

[lean cedar]

yeah, lichess

[lean cedar]

But im telling u, there is no 'surface level' to endgame play, like, you learn some basics like opposition but it gets very advanced right from the start. @strong locust

[sand rapids]

My goal is to be better than jynxzi at chess

[strong locust]

And what if I tell u
I have memorized it all

[sand rapids]

14,000 games almost 1K elo

[storm tulip]

To do that you need to be praised by Gotham

[lean cedar]

I know you havent cause i've studied endgame stuff and I know how insanely difficult it is. Coaches don't even reccomend starting the advanced pawn stuff til you're 2k/2.2k

[full cobalt]

my goal is to win a 100k tournament as a 200

[void tusk]

if you want to truly improve your elo you should play more rapid

[storm tulip]

Does anyone want to play a 5min match, I’m bored and it’s a Thursday

[sand rapids]

Time is money

[strong locust]

Well I am 2.2k+...in chesscom ofc

[lean cedar]

Lol, yeah, that's good, that's not mastering endgames :P

But yeah perfect elo to start

[full cobalt]

what is the advanced pawn stuff

[sand rapids]

What is advanced pawn

[strong locust]

Bro why are u saying the same thing
I told u
I have practiced all endgames of chesscom

[sand rapids]

Passed pawn?

[strong locust]

I wanted deeper stuff

[storm tulip]

90% of endgames are just planning where to move your king without pinning your pieces to the king

[lean cedar]

let me find the website for you, it's chess_____ something and I forget the suffix but he had a .pdf for beginner pawn stuff and advanced pawn stuff and it was 2k for beginner one and 2.2k for advanced one

[full cobalt]

I have some lichess study

[storm tulip]

Chessigma I think

[lean cedar]

not that

[full cobalt]

it had positions from one of the big endgame books

[strong locust]

Can u share it...

[storm tulip]

It has the exact same name for its endgame course

[lean cedar]

Chessmood - that was it

[full cobalt]

when i get on pc

[storm tulip]

“endgame pawn structures”

[strong locust]

So never

[lean cedar]

well its not that lol

[sand rapids]

Endgame is just about control over the board. King should be involved and supporting the pawns, rook to take open files/threaten their pawns. And thats basically all I know about end games lmfao

[upbeat creek]

Hello

[full cobalt]

imma shower eat and store first

so an hour maybe

[strong locust]

I only care about push pawn
Promote
Not get my pawns eaten and shit...

[lean cedar]

was this

U have to buy it tho

I had a trial, dont have access anymore

[strong locust]

Also I need to get my tactics up
I have an agressive play style with shit tactics

[lean cedar]

no, no it isnt

[zinc prairie]

I had a great day yesterday. I made friends with a woman chess player and did Zoom puzzles with nice people. I am slowly turning into a gentleman. Goodbye russian mafia character.

[sand rapids]

Jfc this is doing WAY too much. You do NOT need to be taking god damn online assessments to see if you can hit 2k. Just play the game and analyze your moves after thats all

[lean cedar]

im sorry but i dont think you understand how much there is to endgame play.. i can show you.. this chessmood site has every single piece imbalance, and there's like 10h of video per section.. like Bishop v knight, knight v knight, double bishop.. it's so much

I dont know it myself

but I know how much there is to learn

[sand rapids]

"U2000 Test assessment" is crazy

[storm tulip]

Exactly, so planning where to place your pieces so you don’t get pinned to the king

[lean cedar]

ok getting pinned is a tactical blunder, it has nothing to do with endgames. You can avoid that at any stage of the game.

[storm tulip]

I’m simplifying it but that’s literally all there is to it

[storm tulip]

How do you lose an endgame? By getting forked/pinned😭

[lean cedar]

Lol.. im sorry but you just haven't looked into it

[sand rapids]

Passed pawns

[uneven turret]

Imagine not having premium

Subject yourself and bow to capitalism

[storm tulip]

I am the premium

[uneven turret]

you da real premium

[sand rapids]

I never got premium, chess.com muted my account for over a month, third time getting muted

[storm tulip]

😭😭

[lean cedar]

how do you play through the lucenna or philidor?

do you know that atleast? that's pretty fundamental endgame theory

[storm tulip]

How do you get muted on chess.com what did you send in those chats for a chess app to mute you

[zinc prairie]

You have to invest in yourself.

[uneven turret]

I genuinely don’t know the Lucena or Philidor

like that’s how chopped my endgames are

[lean cedar]

you shouldnt unless ur very strong, its endgame stuff

[uneven turret]

I’m 2200

[lean cedar]

I know it but never reach it lmfao, and couldnt do it even if i did reach it. But i know what it is.

[uneven turret]

Don’t think that’s strong enough

[lean cedar]

ok that's around the range u can learn it but 2200 OTB

[uneven turret]

I’m 2200 online 🥀

[storm tulip]

I don’t know any theory, 90% of my plays are based off what move stops the opponent from progressing, yet I’m ~2k FIDE without any endgame theory😭

[uneven turret]

1500 OTB chill on me

[lean cedar]

I don't mean opening theory, this is endgame theory, it's like, fundamentals you need to know to win should the position arise

[zinc prairie]

Why do you still have time to chat with your opponent while playing them?

[lean cedar]

You are 2k OTB without knowing the lucenna or philidor? Really?

[sand rapids]

When I have mate in 1 I wait a few mins, have a nice chat with them, they get their last words in, and peace

[storm tulip]

Yeah what I’m saying is that I don’t know theory but I’m 2k

You don’t need to know the names to make a move if you know what a good move is

[lean cedar]

For this you do, it's not a move, it's literally a specific strategic set of sequenced play that has many ways to go wrong that you MUST do or it won't result in a win

[storm tulip]

It just makes it easier to connotate

[zinc prairie]

Oof! Tbh, it's funny and annoying at the same time.

[storm tulip]

This is just blatant evil😭

[lean cedar]

Just look into endgame stuff. Don't waste time yapping with me. I promise you there's so much you're going to see how crazy it is. Start /w luceena or philidor even

[zinc prairie]

I would spam offer you a draw if it happens to me.

[sand rapids]

Its actually such an annoying thing to do, so I stopped doing that. I instead praise them for no reason because im paranoid cc will close my account

But I still wait lmao

Had a few people thank me LMAO

[last badger]

chat did i somehow find myself in the "bad sportsmanship pool", cuz why is it taking long for me to find a 3+0 game when im only 2100 elo 💀

[sand rapids]

Like I tell them they play very elegantly and I will look at their games to learn a thing or two

And then wait few mins before delivering mate

[glacial ivy]

Bad sport lobby from gta

[lean cedar]

Probably, who even types in chess.com chat :P

Just get an extension or script to turn off the chat if you're prone to that

or tape over your monitor

[last badger]

the only reason why i think i would be in the bad sportsmanship pool is for aborting too many games, but i only do that with sussy accounts (no profile pic and account made less than 20 days ago)

[storm tulip]

7 brilliants in one day, I’m so proud

[sand rapids]

About every other person from india with emoji spam mid game when they think they found a winning move

[zinc prairie]

Next time, tell them, "You had some ideas. Execution just didn’t follow."

[lean cedar]

what is truly brilliant is knowing the lucena or philidor

[lean cedar]

lol so what? tape over their ass

[sand rapids]

Nahhh this funny af

[storm tulip]

You’re tyler1 if he focused on endgame instead of The Cow for every match

[lean cedar]

Lmao, it'd actually be a smart plan

It's what magnus chose to do and he's the best in the world

Endgames are king

Unfortunately you already have to be good at chess to kindof begin benefitting from endgames

[storm tulip]

“What do you want for dinner?” “Endgames please, luceena and philidor on the side”

[lean cedar]

For under 2.2 or even 2k middle game is best

[lean cedar]

Lmao, that's just the surface. There's opposition, there's reti triangulation, there's SO much

[zinc prairie]

You won't get flagged for this, and your opponent will need to pause to decide whether they're being complimented or insulted.

[sand rapids]

Ragebaited this guy few months back

[storm tulip]

You’re probably getting this modded in a bit 😭

[sand rapids]

Lmao

[lean cedar]

You'd be surprised at how much mastering these topics can win you the match. If you ignroe the opening / early middle game and just play to get your ideal endgame setup, you'd be able to win against anyone due to simply knowing how to play said endgame.

But it's also an infinite amount of effort

And you have to be 2-2.2k+

[zinc prairie]

You could have reported them.

[sand rapids]

Bro its so easy to ragebait people on this site. Just need to be really nice otherwise im just gonna get perm muted

[storm tulip]

For most of 2k the people kind of are extremely bipolar in how they play tbh

[lean cedar]

Well that's the difference between why they're that elo and not 2.5-2.6

IT's endgame mastery and learning pawn structure

[storm tulip]

At my last tournament I won 6/10 games because I kept playing against people who did Sicilian and then opened up their king early

[lean cedar]

Every elo threshold has a topic to 'improve' once you reach that'll push you to the next level

Up until like 1600, or even 1800 its tactics

[sand rapids]

I ragebaited him, forgot what I said but it was something along the lines of

"Any last words" b4 m2

A couple mins later

"Still waiting"

Then bro got Hella mad

[zinc prairie]

Why do you know so much when you're just under 1K?

[lean cedar]

Cause you can study chess and play it elsewhere without grinding ranked on chess.com

It's just a commercial website

Doesn't encompass my chess knowledge

There are GMs who dont have chess.com accounts

[tame latch]

cap

[sand rapids]

What do u play on

[lean cedar]

I usually do lichess anonymously and save my .txts of the pgn and then do an engine evaluation after to get a grasp on my rating. But on my official chess.com profile, I've beaten 1500s consistently and even once a 1900

[sand rapids]

I ragebaited some people so bad they would dm me

[zinc prairie]

Thank you for being here and liking the Chesscom community even if you don't play on their site!

[tame latch]

tell me the name of the opening where white sacs the f pawn for early development (transitioning from kings pawn)

[lean cedar]

sacs the f pawn? I am not familiar where that is a smart idea.. kings gambit?

The bird and the dutch are where you push f4

But idk about saccing it

[storm tulip]

Chess.com makes about 20m a month from its subscribers

[tame latch]

yep kings gambit

[lean cedar]

Yeah ok

[storm tulip]

Maybe even more since chess recently got popular again

[tame latch]

ok you might be cooking

[lean cedar]

I promise I know my stuff

No bs here

[tame latch]

lemme think of smth very unknown to many

hmm

[lean cedar]

Lol I could probably ask you a q that you don't know

[tame latch]

sure

[lean cedar]

in botvinnik carls, what are the typical breaks?

[tame latch]

tf is a botvinnik carl

[lean cedar]

xd

[zinc prairie]

The bird caged my Sveshnikov before.

[sand rapids]

1600 blitz, 138,000 games

Who am I?

[lean cedar]

it's a pawn structure

[tame latch]

oh i searched it up

[lean cedar]

you've definitely played it

[tame latch]

so it is just a delayed silician

[lean cedar]

or vs it

[tame latch]

💀

[lean cedar]

sicilian? no

[tame latch]

it is caro but it is like silician

[storm tulip]

Chess university teacher

[tame latch]

but black wastes a move to tempt the e5

[lean cedar]

its whites position

There's also many botvinnik setups in different openings but they dont use this structure

It's like opening name =/ structure

But that is the official structure

[tame latch]

wait what?? i searched it up on google and it gave me a black opening

[lean cedar]

Yeah, it has black and white openings. Botvinnik was famous

[chrome quartz]

clutched a draw against a wfm. She was up a pawn and winning but made some mistakes due to low time and I won back a pawn so keep it even.

[lean cedar]

But the structure is above

Like in the english, the botvinnik is this

But this is not the botvinnik pawn structure

I forget off the top of my head what this one is, its maroczy bind or bolesevasky hole maybe?

[chrome quartz]

i dont study caro khan stuff so all i know was to get to this position and i winged it(lost a pawn like 8 moves after)

[lean cedar]

Black played the karpov here yeah?

after you traded on d5, they went Nd7

[zinc prairie]

Where do female-titled players hang out on Discord, or are they even on Discord?

[lean cedar]

titled players dont hang here, they're on twitch

[zinc prairie]

Yeah

[lean cedar]

@chrome quartz (am asking cause i dont know) lol, but this is what I play, and it looks like they did that

[chrome quartz]

we played the spassky variation of the classical caro

[lean cedar]

they didnt go nd7 early after you traded in the center?

Is the spassky the one where the bishop comes out in this same structure I don't play that one

[covert dagger]

Gg red

[chrome quartz]

1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3 Bg6 6. h4 h6 7. h5 Bh7 8. Bd3
   Bxd3 9. Qxd3 Nf6 10. Nf3 Nbd7 11. Bf4 e6 12. O-O-O Be7

[lean cedar]

OHH yes its the bishop one

Ok, so instead of Nd7 they went Bf5

It's very similar to Nd7, (classical variation ofc)

[chrome quartz]

how do u even know all this stuff 😭

are u secretly higher than 1000

[indigo void]

@covert dagger GGssss

[lean cedar]

Well because the caro kann is literally the same first two moves against everything white can play

[indigo void]

Ggsss

[lean cedar]

So it's easy to memorize the variations

and I play c6 vs literally anything

It's a good first move

Obviously it's slav stuff vs d4 but

It can transpose back into caro stuff, and the pawn structure is the same

[glacial ivy]

Caro pawn structure is not same as slav

[lean cedar]

c6 e6 d5 it is...

White just plays d4 first

[chrome quartz]

so if i give u a random caro position, u can confidently tell me the variation played?(only book moves)

[lean cedar]

Yes in the caro

[glacial ivy]

No

Main idea of caro is pushing c5 but not in slav

[scarlet arrow]

Meow

[lean cedar]

its just this

[glacial ivy]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/ephemeral-attachments/1031921238567817297/1494254376611610667/petpet.gif

[lean cedar]

its really not that deep

[glacial ivy]

Thats white bro

[zinc prairie]

Well, he probably plays on Lichess and has a 2500 rating in all-time controls.

[lean cedar]

Yes ? you can play the caro kann as white if you play a3 and give the tempo up

[glacial ivy]

💀

[chrome quartz]

whats this variation called? 10 secs

[lean cedar]

Colors reversed can do any opening

You are aware that the english and sicilian are mirrors too right

so it makes intuitive sense for c3 and c6 to be

[glacial ivy]

Mirror with a big asterisk

[lean cedar]

Well of course, because tempo up/down

but you can literally give the tempo away as white, by playing a waiting move

[glacial ivy]

Also we are talking slav and caro not white

[glacial ivy]

Why would u do that

[lean cedar]

Well, you probably shouldn't, but you can if you are comfortable with the ideas of a black opening

It's not game losing to play h3 or a3

[glacial ivy]

Thats also not really a full wasted tempo since those moves are useful

[lean cedar]

True, its just a waiting move

[zinc prairie]

Okay buddy, what's your Lichess account?

[lean cedar]

Scroll up lol I already went over this, I really don't care how much you think of me, ask me anything hard I'll answer it instantly

I'll answer so fast, that I dont even have enough time to google it

[lyric sandal]

theres shit on my screen

[lean cedar]

should probably get some toilet paper and wipe that off

[zinc prairie]

In the Sicilian Defense, Najdorf Variation, after the English Attack setup:

e4 c5
Nf3 d6
d4 cxd4
Nxd4 Nf6
Nc3 a6
Be3 e5
Nb3 Be6
f3 h5
Qd2 Nbd7
O-O-O b5

Find a concrete line for White that leads to a forced advantage within 8–10 moves, assuming best play from Black.

[lean cedar]

I don't play the sicilian

[zinc prairie]

Yeah that was fast!

[lean cedar]

So I don't know

I mean, like ok, by anything hard, I play the caro cann and the english

Atleast within my opening repetoire lol

Or general pawn structure or strategy stuff

[zinc prairie]

In the Advance Caro-Kann:

e4 c6
d4 d5
e5 Bf5
h4 h5
Bd3 Bxd3
Qxd3 e6
Bg5 Qb6

Find the most precise continuation for White that keeps a long-term advantage, and explain why the natural move 8. Nd2 is inaccurate.

[lean cedar]

Ok like you have to give me time to play out the line

These are not general knowledge questions

[zinc prairie]

I udnerstand.

[lean cedar]

Usually with qb6 you're threatening to take on b2

But the advanced caro white can easily defend

you eventually go for a c5 or f6 break

because the pawns are cramped on d5 and e5 and advanced so far that black has to do this

this is the tal variation of the advanced is it not

I did not, I was typing in chunks lol

If I was copy pasting i'd be gone for 30 sec and come back with a paragraph

Not continually inputting knowledge

[tame latch]

actually you guys can just play a game of chess

and just tell

im 2100 so i can tell by watching u two play

[sage vine]

dug

[covert dagger]

no john chess

[zinc prairie]

We both know we can't test your "chess knowledge" on Discord chat. This is the reason why I asked FIDE to meet you personally and do the operations with you.

[lean cedar]

These are hard questions tho, you need to ask like, 'in the karpov, what is the thematic move?'

or what makes the advanced tal dangerous to play agianst?

[covert dagger]

whyre you talking like this at under 1000

[lean cedar]

those are things every caro player knows immediately

well not the karpov if u dont play it

but the advanced tal there is a major threat that is the whole point of white playing it

[chrome quartz]

if only u were this knowledgable in the sicillian instead, u would be atleast 1700

[lean cedar]

I am in the english, which is a tempo up sicilian ,but the english is so sharp it's hard to play

[full cobalt]

[covert dagger]

WHYRE YOU TALKING LIKE THIS AT UNDER 1000

[full cobalt]

english sharp

[lean cedar]

Because I am under 1000 and know this information? idk what to tell you

[lean cedar]

Are you kidding? Yes.. It's one of the sharpest openings in all of chess

[tame latch]

brother just play a chess

[covert dagger]

if you know all this then lock in and get to 1200 at least pleasee

[chrome quartz]

can i see ur games, genuinely how r u under 1000

[lean cedar]

It also has 15 replies from black each with their own literal opening subset

[tame latch]

game

all you guys have to do is play a game of chess

[lean cedar]

yes go check the one where I beat a 1900 @chrome quartz

[tame latch]

duh

[full cobalt]

no.

[lean cedar]

You don't know the english then

If white plays c4 e4 and black fianchettos with g6, what is the structure white is going to play here? @full cobalt

[chrome quartz]

whats ur username

[lean cedar]

right click my profile bruh :d its a cmd everyone has access to in this discord.. anyone can see anyones profile

[full cobalt]

maroczy?

[lean cedar]

yes, but what is the opening setup they're going for

like the name of the opening, it can be played on both sides

[covert dagger]

genuinely if you study chess this much to be yappin for so long just cross 1000 please

[full cobalt]

could be anything tbh

[tame latch]

why arent you all just playing a game of chess???

[exotic bluff]

Is anyone here Magnus Carlsen by chance?

[lean cedar]

No c4 e4 is very specific lol

If you play like this you only have one main setup

[tame latch]

literally easiest way to tell if someone knows their stuff

[lean cedar]

If black fianchettos i mean, if there is central pawn tension it can transpose

[modern owl]

Real

[zinc prairie]

Sorry, for not responding swiftyl, what's up?

[lean cedar]

but here there is not

[full cobalt]

give me all the moves

[covert dagger]

well under 1000 so maybe just reads too many chess books and doesnt play any chess

[lean cedar]

It's the botvinnik formation

[zinc prairie]

I think your ragebaiting is not at its point.

[lean cedar]

@full cobalt

c4/e4 with black fianchetto is always this

[exotic bluff]

Is the polish a good opening

[covert dagger]

im the ragebaiting one?

[sage vine]

Is that andorra

Wait no

[modern owl]

Do you read chess books?

[glacial ivy]

Albania 🇦🇱 🇦🇱 🇦🇱 🇦🇱

[lean cedar]

I've read one

[full cobalt]

you said nothing about white fianchetto and think imna guess?

[sage vine]

Close enough

[modern owl]

Which one

[zinc prairie]

Any opening is good. It differs on how and who you play it against with

[lean cedar]

White also fianchettos but that's not what makes it, its black choosing to play g6

If black goes for center play instead it doesn't have to be this

[exotic bluff]

I’m gonna play against player73828362 tomorrow is it good against them?

[lean cedar]

The only reason actually u go for this in my chessable course is cause black goes g6

It's one of the 'major' replies

[modern owl]

Might as well cross 1k with all that stuff

[full cobalt]

c4 e4 could also be a kings indian or dragon

[lean cedar]

I have beaten 1900, and can consistently beat 1500s I'd say so i likely already have but yeah ill grind

[zinc prairie]

You have to know your opponent to win the game. Have you considered checking their online profiles to know their repertoire?

[sage vine]

Why do you have a chessable course at sub-1k

[covert dagger]

has a chessable course and is under 1000

[full cobalt]

or symmetrical english

[lean cedar]

Both together?

c4 g6 e4?

Ok you can play in a kings indian type way but that's blacks opening name - not whites

[zinc prairie]

TheXenLord, you cannot bring a knife to a gun fight.

[modern owl]

😭

[primal pivot]

Hi

[modern owl]

Wow that's impressive

[lean cedar]

You can also go b6 against this as black

[exotic bluff]

Can I bring a bazooka

[covert dagger]

genuinely when did chess become this deep

[lean cedar]

It's kindof a universal opening u can do with c4 when black plays slow

[modern owl]

Fr dawg

[zinc prairie]

It would be fun, but that would be a hit or miss.

[full cobalt]

how did bro go from saying english is sharp to asking me about structures

[lean cedar]

Well because look at that pic. How is that not a sharp position? You go a3 rb1 be3 and 50 moves later eventually something budges but if u make one mistake ur lost

[covert dagger]

i know 3 openings and havent read a single chess book and yet im 1700, this guy knows every opening by heart and is 900

[lean cedar]

And that's not the only example

[covert dagger]

like is it me who should lock in or this guy

[lean cedar]

There are some unsharp lines in the english

But most are closed, positional games

Like c4 d5 is an example of a more open one

[modern owl]

Probably you and get yourself a 2k

[covert dagger]

thats just anglo scandi

[lean cedar]

yeah. it's probably easiest to play vs

[full cobalt]

[zinc prairie]

You've been yapping about the same topic for 2 minutes now and you still haven't realized that maybe they play on Lichess.

[covert dagger]

naw im most likely already there i just dont play that much rated rapid

[lean cedar]

think about the sicilian, white english is that but reverse. sicilian is incredibly sharp

[modern owl]

Nah I don't think so

[lean cedar]

I'm telling u like the english has positions where u have to make obscure moves and get them all right to get anything from the position

It can be difficult af

[covert dagger]

todays stats were win against a 2230, loss on time against a 2170 up a bishop and two passed pawns, and 2 wins 2 losses against a 1950

[lean cedar]

It's not like ok we bring out our knight and bishop and castle lol

[modern owl]

Please use English to reach 1k elo

[lean cedar]

I used it to beat a 1900

[full cobalt]

how can you say that most english games are positional and also claim that its sharp

[lean cedar]

Well prove me wrong

[covert dagger]

you keep talking about this one single win

[modern owl]

Well you're still not 1k

Given, you can play the english in a million different ways, but generally the positions I have studied are more so like that than not

I'd say 80% of blacks replies are like that

[zinc prairie]

Okay, Caissa. Thanks for flexing your rating!

[covert dagger]

chill on caissa

[lean cedar]

Ye, and you all keep talking about my elo when it doesnt have anything to do with what im saying being accurate.. if im wrong im wrong if im right im right

[zinc prairie]

If this got taken out of context, it would be chaos.

[covert dagger]

im not even talking bad, im just saying that if you know this stuff you should play some rated and get your elo up

[lean cedar]

No I know im not arguing you sorry if I can come off argumentative

[covert dagger]

its oka

[lean cedar]

I am just replying lol

You've been super chill actually

Crazy to think my study on rosseau gambit from levy did paid off with 100% AC

[full cobalt]

define sharp

[lean cedar]

ofc that's why, you got that superpower, it makes you likeable :D

[full cobalt]

I havent seen too many sharp english games

[covert dagger]

oh my lord how did this happen 😭

[full cobalt]

most are positional

[lean cedar]

Sharp means the plan is hard to figure out and if you go wrong you can utterly destroy your chances, **and **going wrong is very likely compared to finding the hard plan

[frosty fog]

Actually, it wasnt rosseau gambit but he played the vienna gambit the pierce one

Punished him early for playing gambit on me

[full cobalt]

lies

[lean cedar]

Well what is your definition

[full cobalt]

you go wrong you lose almost instantly

[lean cedar]

the second part of what I said is the important part of the definitoon

[covert dagger]

tactically dangerous

[full cobalt]

yeah a lot of tactics

[lean cedar]

tactically dangerous can be sharp yes

but it doesnt have to be tactically

positionally sharp is the english and arguably harder to figure out

+3 but youre down 2 pawns

and there's no concrete way for 10 ply, and its 1 move continuations, if u play move #2 u are losing

[scarlet arrow]

Except the rousseau objectively sucks and you'll have to stop playing it at some point

[zinc prairie]

I’ve been losing elo, and I think it’s time to gain muscles. Bye chat! I’m benching 250 lbs.

[full cobalt]

what position are you talking about

[lean cedar]

I mean idk why you disagree with me, if you knew the english you'd not disagree, but you know yourself if you've studied the opening or not

[frosty fog]

Well, it's good for like below rating from 1.6k or 1.5k except.. 1.7-2k which i noticed they know the opening

[lean cedar]

I can tell you're educated at chess so idk

[full cobalt]

bastman is english sharp

[frosty fog]

Still looking for replacement for rosseau gambit

[lean cedar]

I have literally bought and completed a chessable course in it

if you want my screenshot i can show you.. I know its sharp

[full cobalt]

ok

[lean cedar]

Because a GM told me its sharp

that's how I know it's sharp, lmao

[scarlet arrow]

Uuuuuh

Idk tbh

[hollow locust]

I feel like this is way too easy to see to be brilliant

[lean cedar]

i dont get any benefit from making stuff up and lying to you

[random hearth]

Hi guys, who want play chess ? I want found strong players

[lean cedar]

Lmao it's literally a lichess study that has months of work and notation in it

That aint good enough?

[hollow locust]

Oh ok I was gonna ask question lmao

[full cobalt]

[lean cedar]

Im not, its private

[random hearth]

Who want play chess ?

[vagrant ember]

Me!

[random hearth]

Yeaaa

[lean cedar]

its not like ppl can claim chess lines are their own copyright, and they're all original(my own)comments. but it is from a course so, id rather not piss off the person who made it

What u playing as?

[full cobalt]

the sharpest one you can find

[hollow fractal]

|| fahh||

[lean cedar]

It's the botvinnik formation, or this one I'll show one sec

[oblique anvil]

@random hearth let me know when u r ready

[tiny glade]

any 500-1000 wna get a game in

[random hearth]

Okay! I just have lessons now

[oblique anvil]

What?

[lean cedar]

this line is incredibly hard to play.. black usually goes bg4, trades, and you have to figure something out. some idea are like d4 but its very hard to get d4 in, queenside plans, but you can mess up very easily. if u kick bishop away, black bishop goes d4 and ur rook is threatened and u have to play some wild queenside manuevering

[strange mantle]

im white

[random hearth]

I mean, I'm in class and I was called to the board. I'll write when I'm free

[oblique anvil]

Bg5 is best

[hollow fractal]

Didn't developed properly your pawn structure was trash u blundered a freakin rook for absolutely nothing overall 4/10 u only won bcz the opp was bad

[full cobalt]

and where are the tactics

[oblique anvil]

Ok sure

[lean cedar]

nope its be3 to trade and open ur f file rook

[strange mantle]

ok ty

[full cobalt]

seems there are many options none of which lose instantly

[hollow fractal]

Np

[lean cedar]

They're everywhere after the next few moves are made, but they're positional moreso than dynamic tactics

[old verge]

Pretty nice positional "brilliant"

[oblique anvil]

No that's not a good idea to trade as u r hoping they will take u
Practically speaking I can win Bg5 at this point

[lean cedar]

I literally own a chessable course and have done the entire thing on this opening, I know what the ideas are

Bg5 wastes a tempo and makes no sense

you get kicked with h6 and go back and do the exact same idea I mentioned

[oblique anvil]

Then Bh4 sac the knight and Nd5

[lean cedar]

the other idea is a3 to kick bishop, which reroutes to d5, and u move ur rook in some crazy manuevering after its threatened

[oblique anvil]

Btw okay let's say Be3 and black denies to take you now

[zinc prairie]

Tuff bio you have there, El Profesor

[lean cedar]

This? this is not good

You get this via the a3 line much better position

Here u have nothing but a shit bishop to show for it

[oblique anvil]

Thanks bro I appreciate what u said🤗

[subtle thicket]

Cooked tf outta him lmao

[lean cedar]

this is much more logical and easy to play @oblique anvil

but the rook can also be threatened and move it doesnt have to go like this

but the QS advance is this structure

usually with rook on different square.. much better than a lame bishop on h4

4 tempos to achieve nothing

[subtle thicket]

U think you so good coach play me

[random hearth]

Dude u 2000elo..

Hard..

[oblique anvil]

Why u traded of those knights dude

[sage rapids]

sup

[subtle thicket]

Lance you’re not good neither

I beat you in bullet before

[lean cedar]

They usually take but yeah you are right they dont have to, it becomes a long miserable boring game either way

[oblique anvil]

Why would he come to Bd5 not on a7

[subtle thicket]

You also look like Hunter Campbell

[lean cedar]

Because the rook has to move

[subtle thicket]

Go do your real job you’re better at that

[oblique anvil]

Yep bro I am these days I am playing 10/0 and winning games are ending up as a draw so I will try 15/10 again I am on my way to 2100

[scarlet arrow]

I'm on my waaaay

I'm on my waaaay

[oblique anvil]

Nahh bro this will give me a chance to force my opponent and make mistakes
We can play if u want

[hollow locust]

How tf did I play a game this good??? I’m 500!!!!

[scarlet arrow]

🤯

[lean cedar]

How do you even know this line? it's an obscure choice in the english already, in an option that is very uncommon. Firstly, white has to go for the e4 in 4 knights english which is unpopular move. Then black instead of going bc5 has to put bishop further (Which rarely ever happens)..

[hollow locust]

I can only pray I don’t get banned for this 😂

Literally I’m never that good that was a 20 move game

[zinc prairie]

I notified FIDE. They will send the chess mafia to your doorsteps shortly.

[hollow locust]

I am. I am the mafia.

It’s always been me.

[zinc prairie]

Thanks! This is all we need to start the procedure.

[lean cedar]

It's like 1% of 1% of 1% of an opening that you'll encounter unless u specifically are e4 4 knights english player, and black goes for the slow choice(after choosing to go into a kings 4 knights english himself) @oblique anvil

[oblique anvil]

Bruhh your idea is absolutely correct.. I ain't denying the fact but that idea of Black giving up his bishop is ur wish.. u want that to happen they will never play Bd5 if the knight is there...

[hollow locust]

I slept for 10 hours last night I’m ready

[lean cedar]

Yes, it usually happens though, Black is trying to trade this bishop off as they have nothing to do with it

Or they take on c3

and bxc3

[oblique anvil]

Okay you had ur experience bro ... And experience matters

[lean cedar]

Well im just curious u are confidently knowing it but I know how rare it is

So i am just curious where u've encountered it

[zinc prairie]

Okay bro thanks, but I gtg. My Spanish gf is calling me

[oblique anvil]

I will never still go with Bg5 but sure I will check this and will try to understand why would give up the bishop

[hollow locust]

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-jarvis-make-me-look-like-the-victim-gif-3081240632068787806

[lean cedar]

this is 999%

either the red take or the blue trade

Theres other choices ya but its not encountered often

[sweet breach]

hi im new to chess i just know how the figures move but idk any strategies

[oblique anvil]

I know lines tho .. I mean no one here is dumb in chess so yeah.. but if u get the bishop and cleared the path of F4 yes u r doing good
Agreed 💯

[hollow locust]

It starts with d4, d5 then c4 is the queens gambit, dxc4 is the queens gambit accepted

[lean cedar]

Ok but knowing the plan in a random position is not easy to do if you dont play it, here there are a million choices u can make on both sides

[sweet breach]

what is brother talking bout

[hollow locust]

Opening line

[sweet breach]

im new to chess, idk about these

my friends always play it so im trying it too

Also chess is pretty hard ngl it gets easier witht he time

[lean cedar]

If u looked at engine and saw that bishop shouldnt take, ok, yes, but why? why does he want that bishop? and why doesnt he wanna double on c3, he went there originally to trade no?

this seems like fine and the idea black was going for @oblique anvil

Usually, black goes Bc5

And u avoid all this bs

[uneven wolf]

my gambit my legacyyy

[lean cedar]

I'd say 90% of the time black will do this

And I much prefer playing against this

Bb4 is a pain

[elfin mountain]

Does anyone want to play me and guess my elo

[lean cedar]

This line is actually fun

@full cobalt Hey look at this position, this can be tactically sharp.. After nxe5 black has many ways to complicate, qe7, bxf2, and more after each subline

White king has to find kg2 self castling

[last lake]

Do you guys have any recommendatios for ios apps where you can record/type up over the baord games and export them as a pgn so I can save them in my chess.com library? I believe chess.com doesn't have a feature like that, correct me if i'm wrong

[subtle thicket]

Hunter Campbell jr

[lean cedar]

wdym record? u record them at the board in person while ur playing. u can screenshot the paper and ask AI to OCR the line and just keep a file

[vagrant ember]

I'm bored

[sage rapids]

me too

[zinc prairie]

You are right. Ask Gemini for other options.

[lean cedar]

Ye, just upload ur OTB sheet into AI. they will write the line out for you.

Copy+paste into notepad, save.

[oblique anvil]

Seriously bro? What's ur rating.. I am not judging u just curious

[sage vine]

this looks like a 4 knights with c4 and it looks quite bad for white imo because the d4 square is quite weak

[lean cedar]

300

[lean cedar]

It is not bad for white. It's a major option at all level. It's a dynamic way to play versus a slow, positional way and by far the most commonly encountered

[last lake]

I mean just an app where I can write down the moves I make and then import it to chess.com to analyze/save to look at later

[sage rapids]

alr bro

[vagrant ember]

You know what let me try to make a brilliant move today

[lean cedar]

Uh, chess.com app.. the analysis board then save by opening

[sage rapids]

go for it buddy

[elfin mountain]

Does anyone want to play and guess my elo
