Best solution

Unless they patched that then i am not returning

[cobalt oxide]

Youre a couple of years too late

[wild salmon]

Bruh

Well i guess no shadow fight

[cobalt oxide]

No shadow fight only chess

Wanna see a game i just lost?

[wild salmon]

Fight the opponent irl before the chess game

[wild salmon]

Sure

[cobalt oxide]

Completely winning btw

Lost on time 😅

[wild salmon]

Yo can i ask some questions?

[cobalt oxide]

Sure

[wild salmon]

First why did u trade ur dark square bishop off now u have weaknesses on dark squares right?

[pliant elm]

skill issue

[cobalt oxide]

Felt like my bishop would be useful in my position
It can be difficult for white to actually exploit my dark squared weaknesses

With my pawns

[wild salmon]

Because center is locked?

[cobalt oxide]

Yes
Closed position

Knights are better

[pliant elm]

and 1600s dont know how to exploit it anyway

[wild salmon]

How about that g5 push was it a theme to attack king side in dutch or is it to open king side only cuz u have piece harmony there

[cobalt oxide]

Thats offensive 😤

Also im 1400 blitz

[wild salmon]

U donot need to be a gm to know u want to open the position bro

Btw is the stone wall dutch good?

[pliant elm]

I mean obviously but easier said than done for most

[cobalt oxide]

Yes generally in the stonewall dutch (the variation i play) its fine to attack on the king side

[pliant elm]

but also your under 500 elo maybe its best for you to practice some tactics?

[wild salmon]

I mean it could be risky in this position because center pawns already committed u would need to flank em

[wild salmon]

So like a kings indian defense where if center locked attack king side

[cobalt oxide]

The stonewall white or black has gotten me a lot of elo
So many people dont know what to do

[wild salmon]

Alt account

[wild salmon]

I mean i do have a response for d4 but it looks majestic lol

[pliant elm]

or just waiting for opponent to overextend a little bit and go from there

just depends i guess some people are tactical and some are more positional

[wild salmon]

Like bait it?

[pliant elm]

yeah i guess

[wild salmon]

I mean the truth of the position is to open up regardless of style

[pliant elm]

i mean yeah i guess but either way

[autumn abyss]

Yeah cool, wanna play blitz?

[wild salmon]

Like whites pieces have nothing to do on queen side with a locked center he should look for counter play and his own pawns are filling the weak squares in black position

[cobalt oxide]

I didnt really overextend
At least I dont think

[wild salmon]

As long as u kept ur center as it is u didn't over extend only risk of over extension is king side but ur plan was to attack there anyways

[pliant elm]

yeah but from the looks of it he was just trying to get an attack going onto the kingside, but just coudlnt

[pliant elm]

nah not rlly

[wild salmon]

White or black? Just to be more precise

[pliant elm]

white, was trying to get his queen and dark square bishop attack black kingside

[leaden steeple]

guys how to play against random openings

[pliant elm]

but black had a solid pawn structure and controlled centre

[wild salmon]

He was trying to do the plan (i didn't see the entire thing i saw until the g5 push)

[pliant elm]

just play principled chess

[leaden steeple]

👍

[pliant elm]

yeah i guess

[wild salmon]

Develop take center castle and open the position before the opponent is ready

[leaden steeple]

👍 x2

[cobalt oxide]

Lol an attack was going on
I was just slow 🙃

[pliant elm]

no i meant white, he was lining up pieces to attack your kingside but you had a great pawn structure to begin with and he couldnt get through the centre, everything was just closed off

[wild salmon]

Tho ur pieces were kinda in the middle you should have Atleast secured ur queen is close to ling side before u went g5 am i right?

[cobalt oxide]

Ok ok 👍🏿

[pliant elm]

i think moral of the story is you just need to manage time better

what time were you playing

[cobalt oxide]

I agree

3 minute

[wild salmon]

And also he should aura farm in chat (mandatory)

[pliant elm]

fr

[pliant elm]

Yeah i get the same issue of not converting fast enough sometimes

[wild salmon]

I just realized i typed and and also back to back well i guess side effect of a secondary language lol

[pliant elm]

i had a stroke reading this bruh

[neat roost]

Finally reaching 1000 blitzzzz

[wild salmon]

[pliant elm]

Rage baiting in Arabic is peak tho

U have soo many words

[pliant elm]

my first language is greek but im also half english

we rage bait better

[wild salmon]

W

[wild salmon]

I think Russian language is best at rage bait just because of its sound

[pliant elm]

yeah facts russians are rage bait god tier

[wild salmon]

French has that non chalant feel but it is not for rage baiting it is more for love

[pliant elm]

yeah its a love language anyway so yea

[wild salmon]

German is a war language lol

I am learning it cuz maybe i go to Germany but holy it is soo heavy

[silk gorge]

[wild salmon]

Well cya bro

[wild salmon]

Same

[warped osprey]

people who play random ass shit like f4 at otb classical pmo

not even because i dont know the theory

THEY dont know the theory

[obsidian plume]

London london london london

Play 1..c6 d5 and Bf5

The move order of course is putting your bishop to (f4/f5) before you move your e pawn. Dont block them like the pathetic french defense does to it's Light Bishop

[harsh kite]

setting up ppl to failure step one

[obsidian plume]

Sore wa Chigau. Lonudono suyoi desu ne

[harsh kite]

i guess dude

[obsidian plume]

I would play it against you in blitz

[signal oasis]

Why are there so many chess games with so much aura in their name

Like
"Fall of the wall"

• Kasparov broke through Kramnik's Berlin for the first time in 2001

-I'm so Vlad
Kramnik beats Kasparov in the second game of their world championship match

[frank ginkgo]

@🍮

?

[glass cove]

Yeahh crazy names to the games

[obsidian plume]

The match that made the 1.e4 obsolete

[signal oasis]

No fall of the wall was where he won with 1e4

[obsidian plume]

Berlin had neutralized 1.e4

[spice rain]

What

[signal oasis]

Cause the opening is called berlin wall
Fall of the wall was when kramnik lost with it against kasparov for the first time

[obsidian plume]

Oh my bad. I thought it was the 2000 match

[signal oasis]

lmao

[obsidian plume]

But still. He lost the title from Berlin

[signal oasis]

Yeah but modern engines make it playable

For white

[sterile pebble]

Bro says this like he didnt get sauced in 30 seconds xD

[lilac holly]

1 v 1?

[quasi nova]

If you are weak and you did this to him, then what the hell is he

[wild salmon]

So winning streakM

[carmine plinth]

Kind of I won more games than lost only a few

[zenith oyster]

What’s the method for getting better at the lower time modes?
My rapid rating is just under 1200 but my blitz and bullet rating especially are so much worse

I can barely win games in 300 in bullet

[wild salmon]

It means u think

That is not an issue so u are good

No need to be good at bullet if u can play rapid

Or maybe a time management issue

But bullet time is soo extreme you could be down 30 points of material but up 5 seconds and win

[sterile pebble]

It'll come. Rapid is typically inflated relative to faster time controls, i was only 1400 bullet when I was 1900 rapid

[wild salmon]

Bullet is not real chess bro

[sterile pebble]

And bullet is a skill, you get better through practice of bullet

[sterile pebble]

Eh, bullet games at 2000+ are more "real chess" than any really low rated game

Blitz and bullet are fundamentally not very different

[wild salmon]

Yeah but these are good players to begin with and their bullet looks like garbage chess compared to rapid

[sterile pebble]

At my level piece blunders are kind of rare in bullet

[sterile pebble]

Depends on the position

Many of my bullet games are very normal

[lone shore]

How do I get to 2000 rapid from 1850 ?

[pliant mist]

hello

[wild salmon]

Well maybe i guess but you donot train anything other than time management and patterns

[sterile pebble]

Yes it is mostly patterns and being able to see tactics instantly. But like, those skills are fundamental when it comes to any sort of fast chess not just bullet

[carmine plinth]

I heard bullet is bad practice so I tend to stay away from it

[sterile pebble]

Not for me i played bullet exclusively for a whole year and my blitz jumped up 300 pts

[wild salmon]

Yeah they are skills and they are important but i am saying if you have like 1900 bullet doesn't mean you can make a plan for the next moves

[sterile pebble]

Yes it does plans are executed all the time in bullet esp if you know the opening already and know the middlegame plans. Like u said its pattern recognition, and knowing what plans to go for are part of that

[wild salmon]

I am talking being creative not pre set ones

[slow folio]

is it obvious that if you managed to draw a stockfish level 8 bot (around 3200 elo) and any more 3000+ elo bots, that's cheating (while he's around 2300-2400)?

[carmine plinth]

I can play a good game in with 10min & win under a few minutes but the extra time gives gives me reassurance in case the game gets very tactical

[sterile pebble]

Yea ofc there is less room for that but it is still possible

[zenith oyster]

It just feels really frustrating to have to know the perfect move in half a second every time to win a match

[wild salmon]

I mean technically but practically no one is taking that risk

[zenith oyster]

If I have to consider anything I just lose

[wild salmon]

Time management issue

[sterile pebble]

Idk bullet at 500 and 2500 are totally different games. Ive had opponents pull off 5 move tactical combos and sack their queen for mate with only like 5 seconds

[strong tulip]

bullet and blitz just seem stupid to me idk

chess is a thinking game why restrict it so much

[sterile pebble]

Once u develop the pattern recognition you'll understand why they're played so much

[wild salmon]

As u said this is patterns and lets be real a rapid game of 300 elos is more garbage than a 15 sec 2000 elo game

[dusk surge]

Check out this #chess game: bigdiff100 vs Fadalola - https://www.chess.com/game/168350065214 I’m buns at this chess lol

[sterile pebble]

Not true at all. I could have 15 sec on my clock against a 300 with 30 min and id still win

[vital patio]

hello

[strong tulip]

lets test it ill be the 300 (700 but close enough)

[wild salmon]

No i said the 300 elo game is worse not the other way around maybe i did a typo

[sterile pebble]

Nah its 3am here dont have the time

[sterile pebble]

Oh yea 300 game is worse

[strong tulip]

3am here too 😒

[wild salmon]

That means same time zone

[sterile pebble]

Lock in fix ur sleep schedule

[strong tulip]

nah i wake up for work at 3pm my sleep schedule is right where i need it

[wild salmon]

Meet at the equator and fight till dth

[sterile pebble]

Lowkey same those 5pm shifts will kill me

[wild salmon]

@strong tulip @sterile pebble

[mystic acorn]

what do i even do here man

[wild salmon]

Ask how did you get here

[sterile pebble]

Im down

[strong tulip]

okay meet me in the democratic republic of congo

[mystic acorn]

how to save black king

[zenith oyster]

I have never seen a position like this ever wtf

[wild salmon]

HOW IS THIS POSITION EVEN POSSIBLE

[sterile pebble]

Dawg what is this

[mystic acorn]

im just playing idk what to do now

[ancient grail]

Qxd5#

[wild salmon]

Did the black army give up on the black king

[zenith oyster]

They are playing black looks like

[mystic acorn]

i missed that i played king g2

[zenith oyster]

Oh nvm

[wild salmon]

Send this game to gotham low key content

[zenith oyster]

You asked to save the king

[mystic acorn]

im just playing with you guys this is exactly where i got it from

😭💔

[wild salmon]

Lol

I think it made sense why the queen was hung in 1 move

Or was it hung?

[turbid mulch]

hi

[strong tulip]

i genuinely do not get how this line is supposed to be good for white

[mystic acorn]

queen was starting to hang 3 moves into the game, trust me watch this video im gonna repeat every single move next time i play

[obsidian plume]

Bullet can also make you a fearsome blitz player.

[wild salmon]

Oh lol

[obsidian plume]

But yeah, if you play rapid or classical. Stay away from bullet/blitz

[wild salmon]

Because bread tastes better than key

[carmine plinth]

@_nine_breaker yeah

[mystic acorn]

why?

[regal lotus]

Iss there a channel for match ups?

[wild salmon]

Bullet is basically time management and patterns

[wild salmon]

Here

[mystic acorn]

i see

[wild salmon]

And btw bro has the pfp that goes

[regal lotus]

Ohhh

[obsidian plume]

Bullet and blitz are only good for opening memorization and developing pattern recognition

[wild salmon]

https://tenor.com/view/death-note-light-yagami-l-death-note-death-note-op1-anime-aesthetic-gif-24369695

[safe patio]

hi cuties

[wild salmon]

Guys i am not motivated to play rated help me

[slow folio]

hi biggest tame impala glazer

[safe patio]

watch chess edits on reels

[wild salmon]

My opponents play garbage chess tho

The edits will be them hanging mate

[rustic cloak]

I'm finally 1250

420 elo short from my goal

[regal lotus]

Will I become a future grandmaster? (I'm in velammal)

[wild salmon]

Proof they literally hang mates

[strong tulip]

dont look at your rating and dont care about it

[wild salmon]

I donot care about rating i just would much rather play an actual good player

[harsh slate]

Holyy haha I'm so proud of myself for seeing this combination anyone see it also?

[wild salmon]

I just want a game of idea clashing even if it was simple

[glacial trail]

[sterile pebble]

Thats just not true lmao

[wild salmon]

Pawn push then king e2 then knight promotion (take white knight)and trade queens ?

[open sequoia]

Sigh

[blazing sluice]

yo guys is someone here 2000+ to volunteer coaching for 3 days? I got a tourney

[slow folio]

f2+ ke2 fxg1=N+ Rxg1 bg4+ and you win the queen right?

[slow folio]

not trade queen

[wild salmon]

Tilt

[slow folio]

you win it

[wild salmon]

U win a Knight tho

[wild salmon]

No he can take with rookie

[slow folio]

after you underpromoted to a knight, rook takes knight

[exotic kernel]

1 minute checkmate ouch

[slow folio]

then bishop b4+ and you won the queen

[wild salmon]

But king e2 not f2

[exotic kernel]

bro fell for the oldest trick the book

[blazing sluice]

lmk

[wild salmon]

Ohhhhhhh that is nasty

[slow folio]

ik, bg4+

[wild salmon]

If he playes king e1 then mate lol

[slow folio]

bg4 attacking e2 and d1 right?

[wild salmon]

Yes

[slow folio]

actually, no haha, he still has kf2 but it's gonna be mate soon

[glacial trail]

what's your current raiting?

[wild salmon]

Kf2 queen e2 and hunt king

[exotic kernel]

Look I see the mistake, even if its not a mistake its just a fair trade, but how is this a blunder

[slow folio]

yes

[wild salmon]

I mean i donot see the line but surely he will be mated like this

[blazing sluice]

unrated in fide 1500 on the site

[slow folio]

playing chess while rocking to billie jean, anyone like me?

[wild salmon]

U hung a knight

[wild salmon]

No

[exotic kernel]

its protected tho

by the pawn

[wild salmon]

Pawn takes knight

[glacial trail]

that's good, which openings do you use?

[wild salmon]

U trade a pawn for a knight and u still lose ur pawn

If he adds pressure

[exotic kernel]

lowk thats not even that bad I still have a good position

idk about blunder

[wild salmon]

Nah ur pieces are not too developed for it to count as compensation and his pieces are fine

[odd eagle]

No way I drew

[wild salmon]

U drew a horse?

[odd eagle]

Insane premove

had 2 secs on clock

[wild salmon]

I mean if the pawns were on 6th u would be cooked

U white?

[odd eagle]

yh

[wild salmon]

If ur pawns were on 6th ez clap

[wild salmon]

0.1 is crazy

Opponent is low key stoopid for not avoiding the draw

No way a 2000 elo didn't gamble on a 100% won flag

[glacial ivy]

✋🤚 cinema

[shell lynx]

Even if they flag him. Its still a draw

Insufficient material for black

[wild salmon]

Oh yeah i hullsinated a pawn lol

[vital patio]

hello

[nocturne egret]

just started watching the queens gambit. have you guys seen it? what's your opinions? no spoilers please

[jade kite]

she wins

[shell lynx]

Everyone dies

[wild salmon]

It is just a woman aura farming

[blazing sluice]

I've been recently doing Catalan but before I was playing london aggressive not positionally, for black it depends if opp plays e4 I go scandi if they go D4 I either do dutch or french defense

[exotic kernel]

this fork is mad dumb

[wild salmon]

French against d4 what if c4 then it becomes a queens gambit

[exotic kernel]

ive lost so many rooks to queen rook fork

[blazing sluice]

ig bro

[wild salmon]

Juicy and the best part the knight isn't even trapped

[exotic kernel]

knight is a sly bastard

[nocturne egret]

do the chess pieces explode

[wild salmon]

Btw french against d4 is called Agincourt defense

[shell lynx]

Its fine. Overdramatized, but thats to be expected. The set designs are probably the standout. The chess is also pretty good, but its not really shown much aside from a few important games

[wild salmon]

Yes they are certified terrorists

[exotic kernel]

i hate the main actress

thats all my opinions

[nocturne egret]

why is this?

[blazing sluice]

yea I don't really study chess but I do have a good board vision which puts me at 1400ish elo

[shell lynx]

Yeah the final game is Atomic chess. Beth blunders and explodes along with her opponent

[exotic kernel]

pretentious

[nocturne egret]

INCREDIBLEEEE

[wild salmon]

Cuz she is shown as better than u or because her character is shown with too much pride

[wild salmon]

W

[exotic kernel]

Its like when someone is good but they're an ass about it

[nocturne egret]

is the role she's playing pretentious or is she as a person pretentious?

[wild salmon]

So the pride

[exotic kernel]

I like underdog stories not cocky showoffs

[wild salmon]

Well i mean you did study Openings so you cannot say u didn't study at all lol

[blazing sluice]

yea but openings without theory is basically nothing

[exotic kernel]

i dont really like anya taylor joy

just like as a person idk why

[nocturne egret]

is that the actress' name?

[exotic kernel]

yeah

[wild salmon]

True i know names of openings because of analysis board i learned like some openings i use only 75% of names i know i donot know their theory

[nocturne egret]

i mean that's fair. not everyone is going to like everyone.

[exotic kernel]

she voices princess peach in the mario movie wow

i hated that version of peace on an unrelated note

[shell lynx]

Shes kinda been fallen into the constant casting of the bossgirl persona

[wild salmon]

Btw i am not going to spoil but in ep 5 they twerked on the chess board in the middle of episode

[exotic kernel]

Yeah thats probably it

Every character she plays is like

A snarky jackass

[shell lynx]

Like in The Menu and Furiosa

[wild salmon]

So basically she gets cocky and prideful characters?

[shell lynx]

Shes does deliver that character well tho lol

[wild salmon]

I mean from the clips she low key doing it like a true aura farmer

[glacial trail]

got it, wanna play a game?

[exotic kernel]

Yes

[leaden steeple]

so fun to play with low time and better positon

[exotic kernel]

Shes like the female version of jesse eisenberg

[wild salmon]

Opponent should not have resigned honestly

[leaden steeple]

why?

[blazing sluice]

Not rn, I get home at 8pm west eu time

[wild salmon]

There is a slim chance u stale mate or lose on time (disconnect) and also yall ain't gms to resign

[crimson plaza]

16 years played and im finally close to getting a Queen (not talking abt chess)

[shell lynx]

Yeah the show was shot nicely

[leaden steeple]

we know

[exotic kernel]

oh my god jesse eisenberg literally is a parallel to her exactly

i just realized lol

[strong tulip]

as a 700 who doesnt play openings at all how much elo do yall think id gain by studying tf out of 2-3 openings

[exotic kernel]

they play the same characters

[harsh kite]

Qe3 and Qd1 are mate in one crodie

[leaden steeple]

though its difficult to hold these positons for the other person since they dont like suffering

[blazing sluice]

I'm just scouting players above 2000 because I lack experience I started 9 months ago and I'm going to participate my first tournament

[wild salmon]

Maybe they didn't see bro you have to stay positive i didn't resign in over the board and stale mated down 20 points of material (hate touch move)

[wild salmon]

I mean that is a pride issue they should at least learn to be precise even when dead lost real skill btw

[harsh kite]

lol

[blazing sluice]

can sum1 volunteer 🥺

[wild salmon]

No we are all washed at the game

[blazing sluice]

suspicious more than concerning

[dark trout]

dw im only 1500 in blitz (i last played around a year ago)

[blazing sluice]

yoo

[slow folio]

I knew it vro

[wild salmon]

Maybe using fish stock?

[dark trout]

i would be the one to learn a thing or two from him ngl

[odd eagle]

get ur blitz rating up

bruh 700 rating difference is not real

[slow folio]

Im focusing to get 2000 bro

[wild salmon]

I do it all the time to 3 digit players it will be a great learning and teaching experience

And if u analyze his games ur self analysis skills will get better for u

[dark trout]

what's your actual rating

[slow folio]

I mean I do see my blitz rating concerning

[wild salmon]

4 digits still washed tho

[shell lynx]

Theres a 2200 difference between my blitz and bullet

[slow folio]

bullet sucks for training

[odd eagle]

huh

[shell lynx]

Actually only 2100

[wild salmon]

The loin doesn't flag

[odd eagle]

this is either false or vro is a hidden silicon monster

[shell lynx]

[wild salmon]

Silicon monster?

[odd eagle]

at 2400 blitz u have to have some sort of premove skills

[slate swallow]

study only 1 opening rn

One trick it

Chess is like league of legends

[strong tulip]

i was thinking one for white and two for black bc you have less control as black

[shell lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-7240636

[strong tulip]

im quitting chess now thanks

[wild salmon]

No it is not vro

[slate swallow]

Nah I one trick Caro Kann for black

[slate swallow]

Yeah it is

[dark trout]

i dont wanna break my mouse so i just stick with rapid

[slate swallow]

Im masters in League of legends and I got to 1600 in 2 months in chess

because my league of legends experience helped me

[wild salmon]

1 for e4 1 for d4 or rest

[dark trout]

what in tarnation

[wild salmon]

What is the relationbthen

[odd eagle]

I guess

[slate swallow]

Just learn fundmanetals and one-trick a champ or one-trick an opening to climb the ladder fast

[wild salmon]

Other than being chronically online with a. Chance to be homo

[slate swallow]

And dont spend too much time on mechanics or learning tactics

Thats why League of legends = Chess

[pliant elm]

dont be giving out ass advice lil bro

[wild salmon]

U mean mastery of one thing is better than knowing 1000 different things? That is a general lesson

[slate swallow]

Its true though

[wild salmon]

Well that is no true

[shell lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/ohio-confusion-gif-5602388462589981850

[wild salmon]

Fr

[shell lynx]

Dude watched too much Tyler1

[pliant elm]

it's not, to progress you need to learn tactics, positional like youre just talking bs

[wild salmon]

True and also have calculation discipline

[slate swallow]

Yeah but people dont do it

[pliant elm]

whats ur chess.com user

[slate swallow]

How do I post a picture

[quasi nova]

I swear brilliants used to actually be cool and not just the engine glazing a simple move

[wild salmon]

Well i do it tho why generalize all successful chess players do it first and then expand

[pliant elm]

just type ur username

[wild salmon]

Connect

[pliant elm]

so easy to farm them now lmao

[slate swallow]

https://www.chess.com/member/hevv/stats/rapid?days=365

[wild salmon]

Just simple discoveries are now enough even me attack queen is considered brilliant

[quasi nova]

Yeah, like hit a deflection tactic and you get a free one bro 😭

[slate swallow]

I mean I dont think im wrong, the youtuber chess coach Alex Banzea I watch says the same thing he preaches fundamentals

[wild salmon]

Lol

[pliant elm]

fr lmfao

[wild salmon]

That is general advice dude not related to league dude

[slate swallow]

Yeah I agree

But most people dont do it lol

[pliant elm]

Ok and you cant say youve gotten to 1600 in 2 months youve literally been playing on and off since 2017

[wild salmon]

True like mist people get stuck and learn opening instead of mastering their own openings

[slate swallow]

My start rating was 900 at the begining of my climb bro and the last time i played before that was 2 years before and I was 1200

[pliant elm]

Yeah so you didnt get to 1600 in two months....

[slate swallow]

So I was 1200 like 5 years ago, and then I started playing in end of last year as a 900

[slate swallow]

Well yes I did

[wild salmon]

Nice i guess that is a pretty common pattern where u wuit for a ehile then come back like 400 points stronger

[slate swallow]

1200 5 years is not that same as 1200 this year

[strange acorn]

i was 2000 5 years ago, but i started 2 months ago so i got to to 2000 in 2 months

[wild salmon]

In 2 months after years of play is pretty common after a break

[wild salmon]

So u looped basically

[lone shore]

Is blitz mode harder than rapid ?

[slate swallow]

5 years ago, a 1000 rapid rating was 49th percentile. Today it's the 81st percentile on chess.com

[strange acorn]

it was a new simulation, every new simulation time restarts

[wild salmon]

Oh i get the sarcasm lol

[pliant elm]

saying you got to 1600 in 2 motnhs implies you started playing two months ago, youre just giving terrible advide

[shell lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-thinking-in-though-agreeing-gif-8805500278928097826

[slate swallow]

My 1200 rating 5 years ago is basically trash and meaningless, it'd be 900 right now in terms of percentiles which is exactly what happened lol

So I went from 900 to 1600 in 2 months

Is my meaning and with only 250 games

[strange acorn]

i share tomatomtl server with jason, he is just saying he started a new simulation too, or transmigrated to restart chess

[pliant elm]

Dont try and justify spewing bs, just say youve been ass since 2017 and started taking it seriouslyt

[shell lynx]

I can reach 1600 in 5 hours. Just let me start sandbagging

[wild salmon]

True

[pliant elm]

frrr lmfao

[odd eagle]

mouseslipped a +4 and won

[wild salmon]

Yo share ur elo with the rest of us gang

[wild salmon]

More like aura farmed lol

[pliant elm]

the amount of times i mouselip is unhinged

[odd eagle]

won by flagging

[wild salmon]

Still aura farming

[slate swallow]

https://gyazo.com/fa54ffdd3e9d1b8410657eed5f23cf35 Show me a faster climb than this by anyone on reddit, I cant find any

[odd eagle]

made new peak too

[strange acorn]

everytime i create a new account on chess.com every 2 months it looks better than that

[slate swallow]

Yeah so I started taking it seriously and went from 900 to 1600 in 2 months with only 250 games on chess.com

[wild salmon]

Probably an alt dude donot believe everything on internet

[glacial trail]

sure

[gritty wave]

Guys what happens if first place is a tied score in tepe sigeman

[pliant elm]

I dont get what youre trying to justify??? youve been playing since 2017 bro pack it up

[wild salmon]

That is pretty normal

[slate swallow]

So I bought a 120$ diamond membership on my ALT?? is your implication?

You think im rich?

[wild salmon]

Cuz you know u have alot of background

[wild salmon]

120$ is pretty ex pen sive

[pliant elm]

120 is not that much money lil broski

[wild salmon]

Even for a main

[strange acorn]

can you spare some

[slate swallow]

Guys stop coping, just accept that League of legends = Chess

[pliant elm]

No 🤣

[wild salmon]

Chill u can buy like 20 shawarma meals with it it is js alot

[pliant elm]

I think youre just tapped in the head bro

[wild salmon]

No it is not

[grand torrent]

what? Ain't no way I am seeing that

[wild salmon]

Like good development but chess has nothing to do with league

[pliant elm]

20 bro more like 30

[tropic pond]

bro 120 is enough for 170 swarmas here

[strange acorn]

chess is harder than league mentally, league is harder than chess emotionally

[wild salmon]

I am talking about the premium ones

[slate swallow]

Bro, I went from 900 to 1600 in 2 months, what are you even trying to say LOL

[wild salmon]

Yo when u inviting me for them shawarmas

[pliant elm]

He hasnt even got good development, playing a game since 2017 and only being 1600 now is funny

[tropic pond]

yeah when u need abt 69 dollars to live a month here

[pliant elm]

youre madddddd

[wild salmon]

Bro good development but chess is complete opposite of league

[slate swallow]

That because I made a chess.com in 2017, that means I can climb 700 elo in 2 months? LOL

[strange acorn]

whats ur fav chinese novel

[tropic pond]

its pretty cheap compared to other countrys

[shell lynx]

Looks like its two 3+2 blitz games for tiebreak

[slate swallow]

Thrilleer Paradise

[wild salmon]

I mean at least tell him according to his wrong given

[strange acorn]

i check it out

[pliant elm]

@slate swallow you were 1200 in 2022 then went back to 900 like bruddaaa

[shell lynx]

He wasn’t that good at league back then

[pliant elm]

🤣

[slate swallow]

Dude I did it in 250 games, there's evidence in front of you, you can find someoen who did it faster on me on reddit to prove me wrong try your best https://gyazo.com/fa54ffdd3e9d1b8410657eed5f23cf35

[wild salmon]

What is ur favorite food in intermission lobby before next simulation i heard the buffet had alot i always brought home made thi

[gritty wave]

Oh ok ty. Hope arjun draws and yagiz wins so we get ts

[wild salmon]

Lol

[slate swallow]

If you're implying this isnt isnt good development then I implore you to find a faster climb online

[wild salmon]

Cool i guess but please stop insulting chess by comparing it to league

[slate swallow]

What was your development to 1600? How many games from 1000 did it take you?

[pliant elm]

😂 😂 😂 😂 tryna be special. I know plenty of people who have played the game since 2017 then taken it seriously and climbed

[wild salmon]

He is indeed special (in the head he is special needs)

[slate swallow]

Im not insulting it lol, I'm just saying that the way to climb in both games is the same learning philosophy (fundamentals + one-trickig champ/opening)

[strange acorn]

rice with sweet sour pork

[wild salmon]

Cool

[slate swallow]

Yeah because they played, I didnt play LOL

[wild salmon]

Yes it is donot say league and chess in the same sentence ever again

[slate swallow]

I didnt paly a single game from 2017 to 2021 you realize that

[pliant elm]

youre cringe btw

[wild salmon]

U said till 2021 so that is 5 years of play

So from 2021 to now

According to ur bs

[strange acorn]

i think jason is wrong, but i just here for the entertainment

[slate swallow]

Dude im not even trying to force it on you, the reason I posted my stats was because someoen asked

[wild salmon]

Valid lol

[pliant elm]

No you started off by saying i got so good at chess blah blah blah

[slate swallow]

872 games total on chess.com rapid All time

[trail bloom]

guys spread positivity, not negativity

[slate swallow]

And i did 250 games to 1600 from 900

[wild salmon]

That is decent

[pliant elm]

and 2500 games played total 🤣

[wild salmon]

Pretty average

[ancient grail]

4K3/8/8/8/3NN3/pBp2pBp/PpPppPpP/rnbqkbnr w - - 0 1

White to play, mate in 4

[slate swallow]

Wanna know how I did it so fast? Because i applied league of legends learning experience to Chess

I'm just telling you exactly how I did it

[wild salmon]

Mate with the king after 4 moves simple

[pliant elm]

me when i think im good atr something

[wild salmon]

Lol

[ancient grail]

I don't have image perms so y'all have to make do with FEN strings

[slate swallow]

This isn't even a logical argument, how many games did it take you to go from 1000 to 1600 in rapid? Lets compare

[wild salmon]

Btw please stop mentioning league it is chess talk not insecure talks

[pliant elm]

I dont play on chess.com i play on lichess now

i started from 1500 and just didnt drop below it so i have no idea

[slate swallow]

Statistically I'm top 5000 players in League of legends in NA, and now im 98% in Chess after climbing 700 elo in 2 months with only 250 games

[shell lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/ohio-impressed-ishowspeed-speed-darren-watkins-speed-impressed-gif-13842854621865962280

[wild salmon]

Fen strings are low key slept on

[slate swallow]

Statistically speaking im an anomaly bro

[wild salmon]

Lol

[slate swallow]

The facts speak for themselves

[wild salmon]

So a no life?

[shell lynx]

Would I be the greatest in league then

[pliant elm]

ok now youre tryna cope 🤣 you are not that guy

[slate swallow]

250 games btw I spent only 1-2 hours a day on chess.com for 2 months

[wild salmon]

Cool bro

[pliant elm]

And btw youre 1100 blitz which is the most played game mode which youre clearly ass at

[wild salmon]

Anyways stop comparing a game about thinking with a game about no lifing please

[gritty wave]

You’re all Noobs

[wild salmon]

I am not telling u u are bad bro chill

[wild salmon]

Bro is Hikaru lol

[slate swallow]

sends statistics Numbers dont care about your feelings bro, you're the one coping

[vestal bramble]

yo can u play RN?

[slate swallow]

I'm super chill lol, I havent insulted anyone

Youre a chill guy Crivisor

[wild salmon]

Your tone is pretty prideful slow it down a little please

[slate swallow]

This sebyoq guy is acting a bit odd though I don't know why the statistics riled him up

[wild salmon]

No it is just the tone

Trust

[pliant elm]

Ok so what percentile are you in blitz... you dont have an otb rating, no one with any level of skill is bothered to play rapid on chess.com we all play blitz. Youre comparing yourself to people who arent good at chess. When theres 250 million people playing on a website the ratings are going to inflate and deflate so youre really actually not very good

[slate swallow]

The evidence is right in front of him, he can find me better climbs on reddit, but he knows he can't find any, so he's just gonna cope

[wild salmon]

On Reddit you can find literally everything and fake stuff too

[slate swallow]

I'm not saying im good bro, there's obviously tons of 2000+ in this discord. I'm saying I progressed from 900 to 1600 in 2 months which is a statistical anomaly and youre not gonna find anyone on reddit who did it faster

[wild salmon]

Because redittors are just like that they mainly give little context to appear more impressive

[slate swallow]

Do u disagree

[pliant elm]

i mean i could find you people who have also climbed quickly after playig the game propely from 2021, and and being 1200 before dropping down like bro youre rating just caught up youre not that good

[shell lynx]

Congrats, ur better than redditors

[slate swallow]

5 years ago, a 1000 rapid rating was 49th percentile. Today it's the 81st percentile

[slate swallow]

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/til-5-years-ago-a-1000-rapid-rating-was-49th-percentile-today-its-the-81st

[wind bay]

900 to 1600 would be meaningful if the trend continues to like titled level

[wild salmon]

Lol

[pliant elm]

Yeah its not a statistical anomaly when you have been playing for like 9 years

[slate swallow]

A 1200 in 2021 is a 900 today u realize that?

[pliant elm]

Yeah because more people started playing 🤣

[slate swallow]

Which guess what, is EXACTLY the rating i started at during my climb?

[slate swallow]

So me going from 900 to 1200 isnt me rising back up to my peak, it means I improved. Because my 1200 in 2021 was a 900 in 2025.

Do you understand?

[wild salmon]

He has a point u cannot fight that he improved

[pliant elm]

https://tenor.com/view/feels-the-aura-gif-2347929915833160550

[slate swallow]

Thank you bro

[pliant elm]

im not saying he didnt improve

[fossil plume]

What do openings do GM's use? Black and white

[ancient grail]

embed fail

[pliant elm]

but im saying hes not as good as he thinks

[ancient grail]

negative aura

[wild salmon]

Some classical bs

[pliant elm]

yeah literally

[slate swallow]

You literally did you said "being 1200 before dropping down like bro youre rating just caught up youre not that good"

[wild salmon]

Or Sicilian

[slate swallow]

Now ur changing ur words

[fossil plume]

Sicilian is for what color?

[ancient grail]

black

[wild salmon]

Black but there is reversed Sicilian for white by playing English

[keen grotto]

Sicilian is for black against 1.e4.

[wild salmon]

Guys chill there is reversed Sicilian maybe he is asking about specifics

[shell lynx]

White: Ruy Lopez, Italian, QG,

Black: Sicilian, QGD, Semi-Slav, Tarrasch, 1.e4 e5, Nimzo-Indian

[pliant elm]

no caught up to 1600 🤣 people who just started playing the game asd say they are good but arent get put into 1600 so youre really just playing noobs

free elo

[slate swallow]

1600 is 98% percentile LOL

[wild salmon]

What openings u play mod?

[gritty wave]

U mean QG tarrasch or french tarrasch?

[pliant elm]

ok lets play

[fossil plume]

How do i increase my focus and indurance during games

[slate swallow]

What even is your argument? When you say 98% percentile on chess.com is "people who just started playing the game" then you are just off the mark

[wild salmon]

That is alot

[pliant elm]

No lets play....

[shell lynx]

QG Tarrasch.
French Tarrasch is rarely seen, probably because French in itself is barely seen aswell lol

[fossil plume]

I get really burnt when thinking for moves

[keen grotto]

It's a bad idea to play openings just because GMs play them though. GMs have very wide repertoires and play openings for the surprise effect. Below master level, it's better to specialize on one opening for white, one for black against 1.e4, and one for black against 1.d4.

[gentle gorge]

@oblique dagger noway doggie just got 84% on grief omg

[wild salmon]

Try to fry ur brain when i played over the board i fried my brain soo hard that i had better indurance

[slate swallow]

I logically dismantled your arguments with facts and numbers, and now you're resorting to primitive violence by challenging me to a duel, classic

Keep coping

[shell lynx]

Primitive violence. Brother its chess

[gritty wave]

Fight back

[keen grotto]

I play 1.e4 (Bishop Opening, Delayed Alapin, Caro Endgame Offer, Two Knights French) with white, Four Knights Sicilian against 1.e4, Semi-Slav against 1.d4, and a Semi-Slav-like setup against 1.Nf3/1.c4.

[fossil plume]

Does playing with myself actually work?

[pliant elm]

no you didnt logically do anything you were saying playing league made you good at chess but you just played for 5 years didnt improve then started playing 2 hours a day and imrpoved. Like wow time spent playign makes you improve? No wayyyyyy

[keen grotto]

no, that's a terrible training method.

[gritty wave]

Bishop opening interesting

[wild salmon]

Oh cool btw what is 4 knight Sicilian i only know 4 knights English

[gritty wave]

S tier training method

[slate swallow]

Yeah but my climb was clearly not a normal rate of progression, my insanely fast climb was due to me applying my League of legends learning philosophy and experience

[pliant elm]

ok sure lets play either way

[shell lynx]

4N Sicilian is the only e6 Sicilian id play

[gritty wave]

Give me the tech as well

[shell lynx]

Kan and Taimanov are meh

[wild salmon]

I play taimanov is it fine?

[gritty wave]

Whats the league learning philosophy

[wild salmon]

Oh lol

[slate swallow]

I one tricked Jobava London for white and Caro Kann for black I didnt care what the other person moves were

[wild salmon]

Tho they say kan is super cool lol

[slate swallow]

And I watched Alex banzea youtube videos thats it and played a like a few games every other day

[gritty wave]

No no i mean the league learning philosophy

[pliant elm]

@slate swallow i challenged you lets play

[wild salmon]

Master one thing

[pliant elm]

@slate swallow look on chess.com

[mortal bronze]

svesh is also e6 sicilian right? or no? i don't understand this stuff

[gritty wave]

Not this kid

[gentle gorge]

kel

[mortal bronze]

??

[shell lynx]

Yeah Tamanov is fine. Just Imo Kan and Taimanov kinda go contrary to the Sicilian style of being more fast and tactical.

[keen grotto]

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6

[mortal bronze]

hi

[gentle gorge]

good morning

[shell lynx]

no

[fossil plume]

Theoretically openings doesn't matter? As long as you play with tactics and think thoroughly with every move?

[mortal bronze]

good morning etal

[mortal bronze]

oh

[gritty wave]

Yeah

[pliant elm]

@slate swallow stop ducking lil bro lets play

[wild salmon]

Isn't Nc6 first better to offer the trade and get the center?

[tawny finch]

Yooo

[shell lynx]

Svesh is d6 and e5

[fossil plume]

Do GM's memorize openings to have an advantage

[wild salmon]

I mean they are good for people who donot want to memorize alot but donot want to play dry

[mortal bronze]

i guess i thought that because it is possible to transpose into svesh after e6

[gritty wave]

We do

[wild salmon]

Like me

[slate swallow]

In league there's fundamentals like csing, map awareness, etc. In chess the fundamentals I learned from Alex Banzea videos were other than the obvious centralizing rooks castling early were things like preference for double bishop pairs, avoiding double isolated pawns, keeping more pieces on board when opponent has scattered pieces etc.

[mortal bronze]

but that's up to white

[mortal bronze]

yeah makes sense

[fossil plume]

Cool, a gm!

[slate swallow]

And then also learning the middle game ideas for the opening u one trick

[mystic acorn]

without Rem Light would lose to L

[gritty wave]

Hey

[pliant elm]

alr lil bro if its sucha good strategy then play me

[wild salmon]

I mean light low key back stabbed L

[gritty wave]

Oh good job

[wild salmon]

Yo i might start playing a jobava London Because of u i am interested lol

[gritty wave]

For me watching hikaru helped

[strange acorn]

[gritty wave]

Great blitz player

[wild salmon]

How do u play it aggressive or positional

[wild salmon]

Like light got carried by rem being a simp

[mystic acorn]

yep

[pliant elm]

oh so now youre ducking bros scared asf

[slate swallow]

And he has a sexy Romanian voice

[wild salmon]

Do you play aggressive or positional?

[strange acorn]

time travel to tell your 8 year old self to learn chess

[fossil plume]

[wild salmon]

That is besides the point...

[tender phoenix]

3 years old*

[regal lotus]

So?...

[wild salmon]

1 month old*

[keen grotto]

After 4.…Nf6, the only good move is 5.Nc3, everything else is nonsense.
But after 4.…Nc6, white can play Nb5, and also Nxc6 or even c4.
Therefore, I think 4.…Nf6 is the superior move order.

[tender phoenix]

Fr

[slate swallow]

Jobava London I play aggressive

[wild salmon]

We talking about the anime

[regal lotus]

Aight

[wild salmon]

Nice i might look into it maybe replace my English or something it needs research

[fossil plume]

Chess. Com coach actually functional?

[mystic acorn]

[fossil plume]

Like very accurate

[tender phoenix]

Ayanokoji>

[wild salmon]

How about e5? Kicking the knight?

[pliant elm]

Ok in youre opinion since you had such quick improvement in rapid why are you still low rated in blitz

[slate swallow]

Because I only care about Rapid duh, and usually blitz is lower than Rapid thats just stats

[regal lotus]

What are u trying to say bro?

[pliant elm]

Did ur league skill not translate rto blitz?

[mystic acorn]

self react is crazy do you stick a finger up ur bum after doing it?

@strange acorn Bro you're in the Tomato discord too

Nice

[strange acorn]

yaya i read chinese novels a lot

[slate swallow]

What's your favorite

[strange acorn]

lotm

[slate swallow]

Any less mainstream ones that people usually dont know about? I already know most of those ones

I like lotm too though

[strange acorn]

rssg is mainstream but old i like that and legendary mechanic

[gritty wave]

Peak

[slate swallow]

What's your tomato account

[ornate pasture]

I love you

[strange acorn]

weareingame, but i only read 1 novel there, i mostly read on wtr

[steel halo]

Are there any other terms for pieces attacking multiple pieces i only know forking and skewering

[slate swallow]

Alright

[vital patio]

hello

[strange acorn]

discovered attack, skewer

xray

[steel halo]

IWhats a xray

[steel halo]

also isnt discovered attack usually js moving a piece to let another piece attack smth

Not really attacking multiple pieces always

[vital patio]

when u block a check but u counter check while blocking the check like a discover attack

[strange acorn]

not always but sometimes, i just giving whatever i have

[steel halo]

Oh ok

thats all the terms?

[gritty wave]

Pin

[steel halo]

That doesn't count

Ur only attacking 1 piece

Technically

your forcing 1 piece to stay in position, otherwise u get a good sequence/trade/wtv

[gritty wave]

Double attack

[steel halo]

It isnt attacking multiple pieces at once, thats what i meant

[wind bay]

what

[abstract frost]

what

[wild salmon]

Guys what are your thoughts on the jobava London

[steel halo]

[strange acorn]

worse than regular london

[slate swallow]

Yeah but regular london is for you know what kind of demographic

Jobava london is for ballers

[strange acorn]

but you can go into Nc3 versions of london that are fun in certain move orders

everything about move order anyways

[visual jetty]

ok i didnt see that white bishop

[trail bloom]

@visual jetty gg

THE ROOOOK

[visual jetty]

ggs

😭

[wild salmon]

London is buns for creative play

[trail bloom]

THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOK

[wild salmon]

Can u play positional and tactical with it?

[visual jetty]

son im crine

[slate swallow]

Yeah even if you say that the damage is done no one likes regular London players it's like Shaco players in league

[visual jetty]

what if i took with queen?

[slate swallow]

Its a lot of tactical play and very fun positions, and you can play it against almost everything

[strange acorn]

just like shaco players and london players, you just play without risk and its just another boring opening

[slate swallow]

You get to queenside castle which u dont usually get to do in other openings but in Jobava london variations you can

And other Jobava london variations you still play very aggressive

[autumn abyss]

Anyone up for Blitz?

[vital patio]

not me im bad at chess

[abstract frost]

sure

[wild salmon]

Cool but i think i will stick with English i like to have the extra flexibility

[autumn abyss]

Your userid?

[vital patio]

yo does playing with show legal move off help improve?

[wild salmon]

Since i can also castle long in English and go nuts

[abstract frost]

tell me yours I'll add you

[steel halo]

Kind of

Nothing huge though

[wild salmon]

Not really

[vital patio]

dude at my last game i stalemat accidently

[wild salmon]

It just shows u are a try hard

[wild salmon]

Lol

[vital patio]

i wanted to move my queen and ACCIDENTLY MOVE MY KING

[wild salmon]

Touch move ahh

[autumn abyss]

Sent in DM

[vital patio]

i need a new mouse

[trail bloom]

would've been a draw

[wild salmon]

What is ur elo?

[trail bloom]

ok guys a little puzzle here, why is Bb6 a bad move?

[wild salmon]

I wana ask something

[vital patio]

idk around 370

[wild salmon]

Oh nice

[midnight anvil]

It hangs a knight?

[harsh lichen]

guys ive been looking for a cool chess set, i was thinking of tal/soviet sets for multiple reasons, nice enough knight opposite top color king and queen which i think is so cool, no cross on the king which i just find unappealing not like a religious thing it just seems out of place to me. anyways then i stumbled upon the czech set from dgt should i get it? is it worth it? what even is dgt? if not the dgt czech set are there any places to get nice czech sets?

[trail bloom]

you'd be capturing a rook tho

[wild salmon]

2 pieces for 1 rook probably

[midnight anvil]

Oh right

[wild salmon]

Oh nevermind

[midnight anvil]

Engine is perfectionist

[quasi nova]

At first glance I think Bc5+ just wins for black

[wild salmon]

I think i see a knight sac where black wins some material but u can just side step

[crimson plaza]

qc2 gets the draw

[trail bloom]

indeed that is the move

[wild salmon]

So engine noise

[trail bloom]

there is no draw here

[wild salmon]

It is -5

[trail bloom]

black is completely winning

[vital patio]

yo how do i counter french defense

[quasi nova]

Yeah Bc5+ and white is genuinely done for, you lose a full piece in a worse position

[trail bloom]

yeah and if you take the bishop you lose the queen

[wild salmon]

I just saw it it is a bishop check since ur bishop is pinned and u lose ur bishop didn't see it lol

[quasi nova]

Play the tarrasch, not many people know it

[vital patio]

i aslo dont know that

[wild salmon]

Is that variation annoying?

[crimson plaza]

yeah bc5 i think

[quasi nova]

Why are people saying there is a draw here? I genuinely don't think there is one

[autumn bramble]

It forces a trade of bishop ig

[wild salmon]

Not trade a win of bishop

[vital patio]

i only learn basic opening like scotch game , ruy lopez, kings indian, scholars mate thats it

[trail bloom]

there isn't

[wild salmon]

These are not basic gang

[vital patio]

uh what

[quasi nova]

Yeah you can get good attacks and a solid pawn chain if your opponent is underprepared, and even if they know it you get a solid setup with a killer light square bishop

[wild salmon]

Bro casually saying kings indian Defense is basic is wild

[quasi nova]

Schizophrenics

[trail bloom]

it is pretty basic

[crimson plaza]

I DIDNT SAW BC5 OK IDK HOW I TOOK TOO LONG TO SEE IT

[wild salmon]

Kings indian defense is complex probably as complex and Sicilian

[trail bloom]

it is NOT complex

[autumn bramble]

Bc5, Bb6xc5, QxC5

[wild salmon]

Then how did fischer always see nee plans with it

[trail bloom]

the main idea is to play e5/c5 what's so complex about that

[trail bloom]

he was just a creative player

[vital patio]

its easy tbh its just hard getting my knight to the right posisiton

[wild salmon]

That is the point it allows creativity

[shell lynx]

It is complex. U only think its not complex bc u see Nf6 g6 Bg7 d6 e5 being premoved

[autumn abyss]

Anyone else wanna play?

[autumn bramble]

Ohhh correct winning the bishop sorry my head not working today

[wild salmon]

Same lol
