[uneven wolf]

dropped back to 800s that way

[trail bloom]

that was when i was addicted to chess though

[silver yew]

this looks like i stopped playing rapid

[trail bloom]

now i play 0-4 games a day

[indigo void]

U beat me 19 times i beat u only 9 times that's not goodd

[uneven wolf]

I meannn you're gonna lose anyway 😒

[magic shard]

ultimate peaksitting competition

[indigo void]

Cmonnn

[trail bloom]

bro didn't want to drop from 2000

[indigo void]

Interesting let's playy then

[brisk flare]

every time I play rapid I go up in rating
but I don't got the patience for it just let me spam blitz 😭

[magic shard]

tired later

[indigo void]

Aww ok then

[indigo void]

It's likee i couldn't play good

[trail bloom]

YIKES

[silver yew]

damn right im a 2000 player got it?

[trail bloom]

that's like from 750 to 470

[brisk flare]

whats yikes?

[indigo void]

5 years and u 2300

[thorn cliff]

that's pretty normal improvement

[thorn cliff]

i'm just sitting, not even peaksitting, just sitting

[uneven wolf]

I'm scared of the time I'll eventually hit my roadblock

[indigo void]

Timee?

[brisk flare]

My friend asked me to play against him so I made an account, played a few games, and then didn't play for years, there's nothing odd about this graph lmao

[trail bloom]

it usually happens at 1500 so good luck bro

[uneven wolf]

I mean people will start punishing me for blundering eventually

[cobalt oxide]

Is embracing the road block an option?

[trail bloom]

nah i mean the drop to <500 hurts

[indigo void]

Cmonnn me get to 1300 then u can tooo easilyy

[brisk flare]

It's not a drop to 500
I was 500 rated from the start

[indigo void]

You beat me 19 times soo it should be easy for u

[magic shard]

the worst kidn of sitting knowing you're below your peak

[trail bloom]

O

[uneven wolf]

I'm not some gm prodigy to just be winning over and over 😭

[trail bloom]

i forgot you could pick your starting rating

[uneven wolf]

I just haven't tilted yet

[trail bloom]

i picked 400 cuz i knew i was bad

[uneven wolf]

You were losing on purpose

[brisk flare]

It just asks if you have prior experience
I clicked yes
it put me 600

[indigo void]

You are GM

[trail bloom]

yea i understand

[tawdry patio]

I wish I was 2000

[cobalt oxide]

I know

[old verge]

fr, I'm probably like GM level but I'm just sitting at 1800 so that isn't noticeable

[trail bloom]

bro's a GM undercover

[brisk flare]

I think I can climb to 2k+ if I just play more rapid but its SOOOOO boring

like I can play like 5 blitz games in the time it takes for one rapid

[tawdry patio]

Can you take me with you

[trail bloom]

soooo subjective

i love rapid

[limber bramble]

Find the top move here 👀

[tawdry patio]

I am stuck at this stupid rating

[uneven wolf]

blitz is my weakness, I'm so ass in it

[brisk flare]

the next move for white?

[limber bramble]

Yes

[burnt loom]

rf4

[limber bramble]

BANG ‼️

[cobalt oxide]

There's always moves to consider and think about if you ask me
How can it be boring

[burnt loom]

rapid at higher level requires positional understanding

[trail bloom]

ohhhh yeah to force Qb6/Qc5 and then you play Ra4

[brisk flare]

idk I rarely think more than like 2 moves ahead and I got 1500

[tawdry patio]

ohh, if queen takes, then queen takes bishop

[trail bloom]

you're gonna have to abandon that

[burnt loom]

qb6 u go rb4 maybe

[tawdry patio]

But what if he doesn't take

[burnt loom]

wont work past that

[trail bloom]

oh yeah that can work

[brisk flare]

thats what yall think

[trail bloom]

that's not what we think, that's how the game works

[limber bramble]

Still positional advantage

[old verge]

If you manage to learn how to think 3 moves ahead instead of 2 you'll get to 1800

[brisk flare]

I won like 16 of my last 20 rapid games :/

[cobalt oxide]

Lol was it theory knowledge alone that got you there?

[brisk flare]

actually one of my losses doesnt even count

[dusky delta]

Hello

[brisk flare]

what is theory knowledge?

[trail bloom]

people below 1500 play the most unorthodox openings

it's not a surprise that you can win against most of them

[dusky delta]

I play london

[trail bloom]

they don't know what they are doing

[burnt loom]

not rly, 1500 isnt that high

[cobalt oxide]

When I say theory I mean openings and knowing the best or near best move

[dusky delta]

1500 elo is good bro it's my dream 🙄

[brisk flare]

i just play whatever I feel like playing

I play off pure intuition and guessing

[burnt loom]

it is rly good <3 dont worry

[trail bloom]

it's not good, it's okay

it is better than 99% of the players but like

[brisk flare]

how do i check what openings i play

[dusky delta]

What is your rating

[trail bloom]

1905

[dusky delta]

💀

[sterile dagger]

Evil rook sacrifice of doom (took a pawn)

[trail bloom]

is that even counted as a sacrifice by game review

[old verge]

I mean I would argue that because it's better than 99% then it's rather good, I would assume many people don't want to be advanced so intermediate is a great goal to them

[cobalt oxide]

But like what?
You can make comparisons like that till the end of time until you say only super grandmasters are good
Which isn't true

[trail bloom]

it's a pin

[uneven wolf]

Isn't it just a pawn

[dusky delta]

What rating is good in chess for average person 🤔

[brisk flare]

800s will call this a brilliant 💀

[uneven wolf]

if you're 800 you're better than majority of the world

[sterile dagger]

im 1400 and game review gave it one

[trail bloom]

that's crazy generous

[sterile dagger]

well 1398

[brisk flare]

true, majority of world doesnt even know how to play to begin with

[trail bloom]

it's just a pin 😭

[cobalt oxide]

Oi

[dusky delta]

I am better than 800 elo 😅I am happy

[thorn cliff]

Just quickly scanning the board, Qc3 might have been even better.

[trail bloom]

i guess it's a feature?

[sterile dagger]

Yes Qc3 first was better

And then takes

[uneven wolf]

I'm still kinda mad chesscom just gave me best for this

not even great

[thorn cliff]

and if Re5, then taking still works

[uneven wolf]

yeahhh

[trail bloom]

ok now THIS IS brilliant for sure

[sterile dagger]

Also @trail bloom the reason is because even though it seems like you just win a pawn you can’t take the rook and trade rooks

The position is even more poisonous if you allow the rook trade

[dusky delta]

This move is good

[true grove]

I FORGOT ROOK-KING ENDGAME 🙁 AND ITS DRAW 50 MOVES

[brisk flare]

why not just take the queen with the bishop?

[trail bloom]

yea i know

[sterile dagger]

That’s I think why it got given double exclamation

Not sure if I’d call it brilliant but

[thorn cliff]

probably because chess.com knows you're crushing even without Rb8, which forces a resignation.

[trail bloom]

i feel like it would've just been marked as best past 1700

[sterile dagger]

Eh

[sterile dagger]

Well I’m not exactly 1700 ;-;

[thorn cliff]

No way, I'm sorry guys, I missed it. See, even 2500s can make mistakes.

[brisk flare]

dude had a free queen capture and missed it smh dude blundered

[junior anchor]

I lost to this btw😢

[trail bloom]

i'm aware, i'm just pointing out chess.com's leniency to lower rated players which i guess is cool

[trail bloom]

LOLL

[brisk flare]

which bongcloud variation is this

[junior anchor]

I wanna smash myself because the opponent is a reasonable guy

[shell lynx]

Lost to a toddler

[thorn cliff]

Hi, my name is Fred!

[sterile dagger]

It’s because the delta epsilon for lower rated players is vastly different

[junior anchor]

Duras gambit

[uneven wolf]

probablyyy, I hung my queen later after that 🥹

[dusky delta]

It is possible 😅

[trail bloom]

wait who the hell plays e4 f5 😭

[junior anchor]

I wanted to trade down into an endgame because i was up a pawn

[thorn cliff]

WHAT

[thorn cliff]

I used to experiment with it, to little success.

[exotic kernel]

i think some of my opponents are just inputting the board into LLMs to get the best move ngl

[uneven wolf]

well neither him or I saw that fortunately

[junior anchor]

This guy and gothamchess

[exotic kernel]

no reason to be taking 1 min and 30 seconds to move

[dusky delta]

Chess is hard

[sterile dagger]

Moves give different % chance of winning depending on the level of chess that’s being played so yeah it’s probably not even intentionally more lenient it’s just evaluating based on the change in your chance of winning

[trail bloom]

levy would smack him upside down if he saw that opening

[thorn cliff]

Magnus Carlsen plays it, therefore it must be good!

[junior anchor]

Well he himself played it in one video

[burnt loom]

cus youre up a piece? unless oyu took a piece

[junior anchor]

Named "playing bad openings against good ppl"

[trail bloom]

😭

[thorn cliff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGnAgCmVmsk&pp=ygUhbWFnbnVzIGNhcmxzZW4gcGxheXMgZnJlZCBvcGVuaW5n

[dusky delta]

Chess is brutal

[uneven wolf]

LLMs are garbage at chess

[sterile dagger]

Magnus just plays whatever he wants

[uneven wolf]

you'd wish they did

[sterile dagger]

Not modern ones

[trail bloom]

i wish i could just play whatever i want and still win

[brisk flare]

ohhh both queens were hanging nvm

[trail bloom]

this dude is on another level

[sterile dagger]

Modern ones actually can play quite well for quite some time

[trail bloom]

LMFAO

[dusky delta]

4d chess

[sterile dagger]

You have too much time on your hands

[brisk flare]

this took like 15 seconds chill out

[cobalt oxide]

Ahh
The duras gambit
I remember playing that repeatedly when I was <500 lol

[sterile dagger]

I wasn’t attacking you

[uneven wolf]

I took a piece

[sterile dagger]

I thought it was funny

[indigo void]

Aetherrr

[dusky delta]

Which gambit is good in
1200 1400 range elo any suggestions 🤔

[indigo void]

How are you

[old verge]

Botez Gambit

[dusky delta]

Hey

[indigo void]

Brilliant

[trail bloom]

the vienna gambit gets a good chunk of players still at that rating

[dusky delta]

😅

[exotic kernel]

why are people at 500 instant resigning the second i get up like a rook or 2 knights

[indigo void]

Heyy how are you

[brisk flare]

wtf how did you know

[trail bloom]

they don't know that the best move is d5 against it

[dusky delta]

Good bro

[fathom fiber]

im <500 elo
how did you get to 1000+ good sir?

[uneven wolf]

Doubt they'd understand the position 10 moves in

[indigo void]

Nicee

[dusky delta]

Thanks bro

[thorn cliff]

search up "william graif the gambit man"

[sterile dagger]

Depends if you’re using free tier or paid tier

[uneven wolf]

I'm fine

[sterile dagger]

Paid tier ones can play for like 50 moves without losing the plot

[trail bloom]

don't rely on gambits though, you should learn the game itself

[thorn cliff]

play more, spam tactics and puzzles!

[indigo void]

Up for a gamee?

[uneven wolf]

Ah

[exotic kernel]

I feel like resigning is an insult because what do you mean you're just giving up, I earned the right to checkmate you by playing better and you take the cowardly way out?

[dusky delta]

I am not stuck but I still need to play better chess to get 1300 elo

[thorn cliff]

vienna gambit isn't really much of a gambit tbh

[uneven wolf]

kk

[thorn cliff]

gambits that give you an initiative are good for low to mid elo

[trail bloom]

resignation is the opposite of insulting, you're showing your opponent respect and acknowledging that you trust them enough to checkmate you

[dusky delta]

I always play london system for white 🤣

[uneven wolf]

they respect you enough to understand that you'd checkmate them

[sterile dagger]

Resigning is often considered respectful. It is saying that they have the confidence that you will beat them and so they concede

[indigo void]

Yay

I beat you this time

[dusky delta]

Bro you did hit 1300 elo

Do you think I can hit

[exotic kernel]

its so like... anticlimactic though. doesnt really feel like winning

[old verge]

Nah it's great, at a certain level you don't have to prove that you can checkmate with a queen and a rook. That being said, if you do play on and then resign one move before checkmate now THAT is disrespectful

[indigo void]

Yup easilyy

[trail bloom]

how does it not?

[cobalt oxide]

Well following opening principles
And not moving my f pawn like an idiot lol
Also a lot of people fall for this trick

[sterile dagger]

I always feel good when a resignation happens

[trail bloom]

they're giving up on playing

[thorn cliff]

https://www.chess.com/blog/HolographWars/you-resign-too-early

[sterile dagger]

Also @trail bloom you wanna see how that game I showed earlier ended

[brisk flare]

WTF chess.com this is literally unplayable where is bongcloud in chess terms???

[trail bloom]

yeah sure

[uneven wolf]

I mean you'd waste more time if they were resisting to the bitter end, no?

[sterile dagger]

https://gyazo.com/7fd664822011d623bcad1e3038a0a3e9

[fathom fiber]

tactics and puzzles got it!
preciate u mate

[sterile dagger]

gyazo is down nice

bruh

[trail bloom]

ouch

[sterile dagger]

bro forgot his rook was pinned

[trail bloom]

why did he not recapture the rook

[dusky delta]

Nice move

[sterile dagger]

because he blundered but its already so lost it doesnt even give it blunder

[trail bloom]

brWHAT

[fathom fiber]

taking the f pawn opens the h file.....isnt that a bad thing?
what's your take on this?

[brisk flare]

what happened to the bishops

[sterile dagger]

game review is based on your chance of winning

if you blunder but you're already completely lost

it wont give a or

[trail bloom]

yea i know

[burnt loom]

how tf is his bishop there

[trail bloom]

hillbilly attack

[exotic kernel]

anyone else just rip a queen for queen trade on like move 4, i cant trust my opponents to have the queen man i swear

[trail bloom]

in the caro kann defense

[fathom fiber]

bishop moved twice

[trail bloom]

most people don't understand that the bishop doesn't belong to b3 in that opening

[sterile dagger]

yeah this guy was 1440 when we played btw

😭

[trail bloom]

you'd think he'd avoid playing a move like that

[cobalt oxide]

Oh no the screen shot and the f pawn stuff are too different scenarios
Anyhow moving the f pawn before you've gotten castle is generally bad

[trail bloom]

but everyone plays bad at one point i guess

[sterile dagger]

He was already probably tilted from being completely outplayed

[brisk flare]

I got to 1500 by just offering trades of equal material that give me a better position
0 learning openings
0 learning any theory
0 learning anything
just trade to victory

[burnt loom]

black has all his pawns intact

and white has one pawn missing

[dusky delta]

Really 🤔

[sterile dagger]

he just got steam rolled

[languid torrent]

Unless you know what you're doing though. Openings like the Grand Prix Attack are still playable

[trail bloom]

oh shit mb i didn't look at the c pawn

[thorn cliff]

so many people in the triple digits just trade pieces whenever the opportunity presents itself

[burnt loom]

i love playing grand prix

[trail bloom]

the conclusion to every 1400 game

[dusky delta]

Agree

[languid torrent]

Same

[burnt loom]

most of the time i play grand prix i always get to sac sac sac eveyrthing

[fathom fiber]

can we play sometime? i want to learn from you father Oswald

[indigo void]

Not even onlinee @uneven wolf

[cobalt oxide]

I dont feel like going back to that game
Im just saying if the opponent isn't paying attending you can attack trap their bishop with pawns

[sterile dagger]

I mean usually the games are quite smooth and one person just gets outplayed

Its pretty rare to have catastrophic blunders

[old verge]

Sounds like a normal mistake from a 1500, people still blunder full pieces all the way to 2000 tbh

[languid torrent]

I love yelling "FBI Open Up" as i pick away at their pieces on the kingside

[sterile dagger]

at least in my games

[brisk flare]

Foolproof strat to get from 800 -> 1200
trade middle pawns
take enemy queen with your queen
enemy takes back with king
GG their king is cooked

[burnt loom]

i love it when they close the center in grand prix not knowing its just helping me attack

[languid torrent]

Mhm

[sterile dagger]

grand prix is a very nice opening

[exotic kernel]

99% of my opponents have to be smurfs man there is no way they are pulling these 50 steps ahead moves

[burnt loom]

they do it just to kick my knight >_<

[sterile dagger]

very scary looking

[trail bloom]

what if the ytake back with a knight or a rook 😭

[cobalt oxide]

No thank you
Im just repeating what I hear from YouTube videos

[languid torrent]

The c3 knight, right?

[dusky delta]

What is good opening against london i hate london players 🤡

[burnt loom]

yep

[trail bloom]

grand prix is in the sicilian defense right

[burnt loom]

3. c5

[trail bloom]

i haven;t played it ever

[fathom fiber]

got you

[languid torrent]

e4 c5 nc6 nc3 f4

[cobalt oxide]

Also how did you know that was my user?

[dusky delta]

Thanks

[trail bloom]

ah yes

[brisk flare]

OH NO I JUST OPENED ANALYSIS AND MY PC FANS STARTED BOOMING

[quasi wagon]

Who wants to play chess

[exotic kernel]

yeah i am just like actually cooked

[fathom fiber]

open source intelligence

[old verge]

Winnable

I took the bishop in 0.1s

[exotic kernel]

luckily its 500 rating

[brisk flare]

one pawn > 2 rooks + queen

[fringe juniper]

oh ok

[exotic kernel]

son

[trail bloom]

it's ok it could have been worse

i was up 2 bishops queen and a rook

You can't expect someone to find this if they can't even mate with a queen

[spring pumice]

Stop the fir e

[burnt loom]

bishop ladder

[dusky delta]

How to mate with night and bishop

[trail bloom]

make sure to crush your opponents anaconda style guys

[old verge]

I think bishops are stronger in the day

[sterile dagger]

it takes practice

[dusky delta]

I know

[ionic solar]

Like the only way this could happen is accidentally mating when he thought he could win a pawn or something.

[spring pumice]

Shove that bishop in and f your night

[karmic geyser]

castle mate. absolutely peak.

[slow folio]

ok how is ur bullet rating higher than rapid

[sterile dagger]

Because im not rated in bullet

[loud geyser]

because its bullet

[sterile dagger]

so its by defualt 1500

[exotic kernel]

I hate chess because when you lose it’s entirely your fault

[spring pumice]

Cream

[exotic kernel]

They placed me way too high

[sterile dagger]

and thats the beauty of the game

[spring pumice]

Learn to be accountable

[sterile dagger]

you have no one to blame but you

[burnt loom]

responsibility for how the game goes

[spring pumice]

Furry power

[exotic kernel]

Chess rage is something else man

[old verge]

You can always pretend your mouse slipped, pc lagged, internet dropped, site bugged and say the opponent was lucky

[burnt loom]

if you lose, youre an irresponsible person

[spring pumice]

If you can't take a lose

[sterile dagger]

the kramnik special

[slow folio]

ok good, I thought you played bullet a lot

[burnt loom]

then dont lose

[sterile dagger]

bullet isnt fun

[spring pumice]

I won't

[exotic kernel]

I accidentally misclicked my last 37 moves

[spring pumice]

[slow folio]

it will ruin your chess mind fr

[strong locust]

Its common

[spring pumice]

Bro is so hot

[sterile dagger]

the kids are playing 10 + 0.1 ultrabullet now days

[spring pumice]

Gonna sleep again bye

[old verge]

Happens to the best of us, I would've won my last game too if i didn't blunder, so lucky of them

[pliant kraken]

heyyyy guysss

[burnt loom]

sounsd fun

[exotic kernel]

Losing to the clock legitimately makes you want to break something

Worse than checkmate

[sterile dagger]

I rather lose on the clock than to checkmate

[spring pumice]

👻

[strong locust]

Especially in rapid

[sterile dagger]

it means I was trying

[pliant kraken]

suppp

[trail bloom]

how do you lose on time in rapid

[exotic kernel]

I got punished for not thinking fast enough like okay bro

[burnt loom]

losing on the clock otb in game iwth stakes is even worse

[spring pumice]

I would rather get a gun shot than a checkmate

[strong locust]

10% of my win in rapid nowadays is on time

[sterile dagger]

i lose on time in rapid when I'm playing 2000s+

[trail bloom]

then play a longer time control bro what

[spring pumice]

How you doing

[exotic kernel]

Aren’t you supposed to get back 5 seconds every time you move when you’re in critical time

[sterile dagger]

nice strawman

[trail bloom]

what bro 😭

[exotic kernel]

I swear I saw that happen

[burnt loom]

dyk theres a medic for large chess competitions

[sterile dagger]

no... that would be a different time control

[loud geyser]

i mouse slipped and lose the rook

[spring pumice]

Strawmanning other people😜

[sterile dagger]

what is this 😭

[trail bloom]

i have lost like 30 rapid games max in my entire life on time

[strong locust]

I drew again certain someone in chat today
Thanks for confidence boost btw

[old verge]

I feel like losing on the clock is worse because you might be winning so it feels worse, like you know with one minute more you would've won it. At least if you get checkmated you likely got outplayed, ggs to the opponent

[spring pumice]

Is this chess legend?

[hearty heron]

Np son

[exotic kernel]

I swear you make a suboptimal play ONE time and the queen just took 5 pieces and you can’t do anything

[strong locust]

Thanks kiddy ah

[crystal swan]

New to chess looking for people to learn is with 18+ dm

[exotic kernel]

I trade queens start of game just because I hate her so bad

[trail bloom]

bad attitude

[spring pumice]

Playsleepnoeat

[trail bloom]

queens make games exciting

[tawdry patio]

I lost a game so badly, I should quit chess

[exotic kernel]

As a new player where do I even start am I supposed to look up like best gambits or something

[strong locust]

You are supposed to learn basic chess principles

[spring pumice]

Lose more

[exotic kernel]

I did for like 2 of them except they never happen because my opponent doesn’t play 4 moves in a row exactly according to plan so like

[strong locust]

No gambits till 1000+

[tawdry patio]

literally blundered a rook fork and bishop 💀

[exotic kernel]

Do I need to learn 1000 different openings

[old verge]

Same but I usually do it to make the game more relatable since now the king is just like me

[trail bloom]

danish and vienna are pretty good up to 1600...

[tawdry patio]

I am so bad

[exotic kernel]

Is there a name for that cheese Strat with the queen and bishop checkmate on move 6

[strong locust]

Danish is really good even in 2200+
Vienna is really annoying for me
So it's good too

[trail bloom]

yea the scholar's checkmate

[primal narwhal]

nice new streak icon

[exotic kernel]

I got so pissed when that happened lol

[strong locust]

Damn I am only on 204

[trail bloom]

it's easy to repel

[tawdry patio]

Bro, you have a streak of a whole year?!!?1?

[exotic kernel]

My opponents have quantum level foresight all the time idk

[old verge]

That's crazy, my best is like 2 weeks or smth

[trail bloom]

nah they're just relying on you not knowing how to defend

[primal narwhal]

my friend is at 4 years

[trail bloom]

as you progress, you will see Qh5 on move 2 almost never

because it's just pointless

[exotic kernel]

Not the scholars gambit specifically just like in general my opponents are way too good

[strong locust]

Of a 500 would know what a 500 would do

[trail bloom]

again, they're relying on your lack of knowledge

they aren't that good in reality

[exotic kernel]

Yeah so I’m trying to learn something but idk where to start

There’s so many openings

[strong locust]

Becoz u blunder alot

[trail bloom]

watch youtube

[strong locust]

Just learn
Knights first
Then bishop
Then castle💔💔💔

[old verge]

Try the Saragossa

[trail bloom]

do a research

[exotic kernel]

Lowkey be playing hope and improv chess all the time

[trail bloom]

yeah you have to drop hope chess early

[exotic kernel]

Just like doing stuff

[trail bloom]

it's not gonna get you anywhere

[exotic kernel]

I do a move then hope my opponent doesn’t do a specific move and they always do it lol

[spring pumice]

@gray sparrow

[trail bloom]

Very bad idea

[exotic kernel]

I mean obviously

[old verge]

I mean yea but that's the problem, if you see a specific move that might annoy you, then you should think of something you can do for that move not to happen or be less annoying

[exotic kernel]

I tried learning a specific strategy except it’s useless because the opponent has to magically follow the exact plan like 6 moves in a row

[dusky oasis]

just play london it's like winning at chess for free

i need a new opening for white fr

[trail bloom]

oh helll naah

[exotic kernel]

Too many openings and gambits, I can never use the couple I learn because they never happen

[trail bloom]

i hate london i'm forever gonna play the dutch against it

[uneven wolf]

trueeee

[obtuse wagon]

the one time i played with the london i lost because the opponent did not want to open the position

[dusky oasis]

who cares what the enemy wants?!

[obtuse wagon]

i couldn't move anything...

[uneven wolf]

85% winrate for white in the last week london is actually so peak

[spring pumice]

[dusky oasis]

that's where you start simplifying early

[old verge]

Maybe try something more solid and passive, if you remove any chance for opponents tricks early on then it all comes down to middlegame and endgame

[obtuse wagon]

i think i will start playing the london tho

[obtuse wagon]

While i dont like the UK i think the opening is good

[dusky oasis]

just don't play it dogmatically

[exotic kernel]

Getting a brilliant move is so hard I don’t think I’ve ever gotten one

[old verge]

I get one like every 5-10 games

[tepid gazelle]

Guys what's better in your opinions? Knight or bishop?

[merry bough]

Knight pisses me off like 5x more so

[old verge]

Knights middlegame, Bishop's endgame

[tepid gazelle]

Really?

[tepid gazelle]

Fair fair,forks are good

[exotic kernel]

Knight to c2 with queen/king and rook fork annoys me bad

[cobalt oxide]

No one knows

[frail violet]

Bro i love clutching when im completely losing by preparing a mating attack on my opponent that can easily be stopped but they get too focused on attacking me because they're winning so they blunder mate in one

[merry bough]

That's wild

[merry bough]

Trzeciak, Roman (2043) vs. Over, Norbert (2204)

The move list was too long to fit in this embed :(

[dry yew]

i can coach you on a different game

[lilac prairie]

Dm me🙏

[old verge]

Half of this game are bishops rerouting

[tepid gazelle]

Just asking dw

[abstract frost]

German fork is rare as hell on the other hand royal fork can occur more easily

[lilac prairie]

Sorta looking for chess coaches atm😭

[merry bough]

bonus points for white pushing a pawn for no reason on move 50 of the 50 move rule

[tepid gazelle]

Who won?

[tepid gazelle]

Yeah

[merry bough]

you should be able to answer that with the information provided

[dry yew]

chat gpt is a good coach

[lilac prairie]

Uhh

[merry bough]

you should learn how to interpret PGNs, especially if you want to get a chess book

[tepid gazelle]

So the black side?

[merry bough]

yes, by using bishop and knight checkmate

[dry yew]

it is just trust me

[old verge]

It was just funny how there were like 4 of 5 almost threefold repetition and then both just decided "fk it let's just walk the king on the other side of the board for no reason"

[tepid gazelle]

That's cool

[merry bough]

it was a must-win game for both players

[old verge]

Oh really, it felt like black was asking for a draw a few times but white just kept going

[merry bough]

yeah, i think white was salty about not being able to utilize a small positional edge

[burnt loom]

ncie game

[languid torrent]

Hey, you're playing chess in the park?

May i join?

[lilac prairie]

I've used it for a couple things I guess. But chess books are much better

[merry bough]

ive seen this before, one side playing 80-100 moves in a drawn queen endgame

[strong locust]

@hearty heron
Hey kiddy ah
Who's beginner shit did u give your account to play rapid
Play it yourself bro💔

[merry bough]

don't lie i know some of you have done that

maybe not queen endgame but something similarly drawn

[dry yew]

bro you must use the latest version it beats stockfish btw

[merry bough]

also atomic chess makes this look like child's play

[old verge]

To be fair almost everyone here has done it simply because at how low-rated we are, nothing is actually a draw

[merry bough]

it's very easy to get an atomic chess position where the position is very clearly drawn with best play but one side can stall for over 200 moves

[strong locust]

I need to learn endgames
Specially rook and pawns vs rook and pawns

[tepid gazelle]

Can't right now,sorry

[languid torrent]

Oh i hate those

[languid torrent]

Aw. Okay

[tepid gazelle]

Ask someone else if they want to,maybe they'll agree

[torn maple]

My endgame habilities are amazing

[languid torrent]

Everyone here seems to be focused on studying rather than actively playing

[old verge]

Nah studying sucks, never done that

[fickle delta]

I don't lose ELO while I'm studying

[languid torrent]

Unrated games exists

[tepid gazelle]

Ohhh

[fickle delta]

I play so bad CC subtract points just by logging in

[languid torrent]

Lmao

[tepid gazelle]

For real though, the pawn goes ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!(-Levi/gotham)

[uneven wolf]

ohh right sorry

it just went off my mind

[tepid gazelle]

Fair

What time control

[languid torrent]

Rapid

[fickle delta]

Not gonna happen

Every time I sit down and study Levy's slow run my rating drops

[obsidian plume]

Hey

[jovial steeple]

Win and lose rate is crazy balanced 💀

[fickle delta]

I think his videos resonate with my reptilian brain

[forest oyster]

just chill

[lyric sandal]

the opposite for me

I play like magnus after it

I dont study i just watch

took me from 600 to 900

[merry bough]

as it should be, an ideal rating system should result in 50-x% wins, 50-x% losses, and 2x% draws

[lyric sandal]

wah

[fickle delta]

I should play blitz instead

[lyric sandal]

no

[fickle delta]

It's a joke, it's 1 game played

[lyric sandal]

you can do what you want but I heard fast time control is bad

for beginners

[fickle delta]

Yeah ideally I should play 15 minutes or more, but my life only allows for 10

[lyric sandal]

10 is just right

only mode I play

[fickle delta]

I lose a lot on timeout, but I can't change my circumstances unless I file for divorce, so it is what it is

[jovial steeple]

It will improve your quick thinking

[fickle delta]

Doesn't help to think quickly if you don't have existing knowledge

I gotta play bullet then

[jovial steeple]

That's true

[jovial steeple]

It will help you think fast so you won't make blunders

[jovial steeple]

Blitz better

[indigo void]

YES

[jovial steeple]

Bullet is just whoever can get your opponent flagged

[wide stump]

can i send links here?

[indigo void]

Nope whyy

[wide stump]

i want someones opinion on my game

[fickle delta]

If you lost you can post in #💬〡improvement-talk

[wide stump]

i did not lose i won in 6 moves

[indigo void]

That's good

[fickle delta]

Not sure what the value of posting scholar's mate is

[wide stump]

no no

not scholar

i did by my own

thats why i am telling

[indigo void]

What's your elo

[sweet wigeon]

Am I the only one who loves allowing stuff like this?

[fickle delta]

I think I'm mid 400 now, lost like 70 ELO the last two days

[indigo void]

Aww

[indigo void]

You know i make you 1000 elo

[sweet wigeon]

Yeah you can send your chess games

[fickle delta]

I already have a coach, but thanks!

[wide stump]

yea i was talking abt game only not other links

[sweet wigeon]

At 400?

[indigo void]

Ok okk

[fickle delta]

Yeah, it's my last attempt at improving before I give up

[sweet wigeon]

If you want some feedback you can send me the link

[sweet wigeon]

It's a waste of money imo, you can easily find a good playlist and just do tactics

[junior bolt]

This yalls goat?

[fickle delta]

I cannot, I've tried

[sweet wigeon]

I'll send you something

[wide stump]

i have dm'ed u check when u can

[indigo void]

Aww 1864

[sweet wigeon]

Were you white?

[wide stump]

yea

[reef canyon]

Robert and James were fairly common American names

[sweet wigeon]

Here, you shouldn't probably play your knight, if opponent wants to play b4

[sweet wigeon]

Find a good move btw

I mean better

@wide stump

[wide stump]

hmm got it

but can everyone like very low elo find that check

[uneven wolf]

wasn't it just free 💔

[sweet wigeon]

What check?

[wide stump]

at last that mate

[sweet wigeon]

Yeah but I wanted to teach him good habits

Because he hung that knight

[uneven wolf]

right

[uneven wolf]

🥀

[sweet wigeon]

Btw

Yesterday I lost 5 games in a row

[reef canyon]

shouldnt you teach him to not hang pieces first

[old verge]

ggs! @languid torrent

[plain leaf]

Why is that whenever I play normally I play good but when I try to play good I blunder like 10 elo 😭

[reef canyon]

being a tryhard doesnt suit you ig

for some ppl it does

[sweet wigeon]

97% let's goo

[plain leaf]

How am I gonna improve if don't tryhard

😭

[uneven wolf]

play positional chess

[plain leaf]

Never heard of it

[uneven wolf]

at some point everything starts to coordinate if you play it right

[wide stump]

tf is that

[plain leaf]

Lemme google it

[indigo void]

Whyy don't you suggest him my coaching

[languid torrent]

gg. You played well

[hybrid bobcat]

Hi guys

What if i play b3

[indigo void]

That's not bad

[sweet wigeon]

@fickle delta I've sent you

On chess com

[uneven wolf]

I'm not your promoter you don't pay me anything

[indigo void]

Me bored

[hybrid bobcat]

What openings do u play

[indigo void]

I don't play b3

[indigo void]

Aww ok okk sorry

[hybrid bobcat]

But what do u play

[languid torrent]

Jesus christ, that graph was diabolical

[indigo void]

Random opening

[burnt loom]

just dont blunder

[indigo void]

Good job

[languid torrent]

Could've gone south real quick at that middle part

[hybrid bobcat]

Damn

[old verge]

Doesn't seem diabolical to me, just a solid game there was never really any mistake

[languid torrent]

Classic red brilliant moment

[indigo void]

Ye

[burnt loom]

you should tryhard to not blunder and dont try too "weird" things

[languid torrent]

It looked like you never had any chance to turn things around other than my blunder in the middle

Which was the diabolical part

[hybrid bobcat]

To win, confuse ur opponent. To confuse ur opponent, confuse urself

[old verge]

Even then, its just a draw at best, you just played really well

[old verge]

Oh lol, i usually think diabolical is like

one with 20 swings up and down

[languid torrent]

Oh, the chaotic type lol

I get it

[novel wren]

Wtf are you guys taking about

[obsidian plume]

Good. But chess puzzles, not check back.

[dusky oasis]

Ok I get why you should never resign in low elo, I managed to force a stalemate after blundering a queen. I think I even had a shot at winning but that's on me for missing it

[uneven wolf]

d4 at 300 elo is crazy

[dusky oasis]

what's wrong with that

[uneven wolf]

I can only imagine the opponents being stunned from move 1

[uneven wolf]

nothingggg, I play d4 myself

[strong locust]

Then why were u playing so terrible against 2200-2300s
Were u playing dice chess

[dusky oasis]

i should start playing caro kann against my opponents

I'm starting to get bored playing london inspired openings

[small jungle]

He beat Naiditsch vro

[uneven wolf]

Caro is like london but black vers

[strong locust]

He lost three times in a row to 2200-2300s in rapid
He played crap in the opening

[safe vessel]

how do i get the permission to talk in vc ??))

[small jungle]

They were cheating trust

[strong locust]

Mf he lost his queen in one game

[small jungle]

Opp was cheating vro

[quasi nova]

And got a cheating accusation against him that id personally frame on my wall

[dusky oasis]

oh really maybe I was thinking petrov then, idk. Either way I wanna improve my theory. Usually I play quite well, but I suck at converting my advantage and just mating my opponent

[uneven wolf]

aw

I probably should pick up theory too cuz I know near zero of it

[uneven wolf]

makes me think how many times I've been playing my opening wrong

[dusky oasis]

I mean I still was winning for a very long time AFTER blundering my queen. but then I lost material trying to mate

I could be such a good chess player if I stopped playing dumb moves

[small jungle]

Wouldn't we all

[strong locust]

💔4 cheaters in a row
In rated game?
I don't think so bro

[small jungle]

I think so vro

If they beat u they're cheating fr

[drowsy stump]

Big brain

[small jungle]

The Naiditsch strat

[strong locust]

Who th is naiditsch btw

[small jungle]

Gm who accused plns of cheating

[strong locust]

And plns...

[small jungle]

Wasn't cheating

[strong locust]

I meant who th is plns

[small jungle]

Gm just got flagged in an equal endgame

[small jungle]

@hearty heron

[strong locust]

I meant what is it short for

[small jungle]

PlayLateNoSleep

[strong locust]

💔I am so dumb

[dusky oasis]

yeah but I'm like on to something I feel like. If I just start converting my advantage my play would be winning much more

[small jungle]

Vro ts gm is a second kramnik

[strong locust]

I wish I get blocked by kramnik

[small jungle]

He's either winning or his opp is cheating

[reef canyon]

i thought he was just an IM

[strong locust]

Wait when did he accuse plns?

[small jungle]

He was 2700 at one point

[warm ginkgo]

who wants to 1v1
