I told my opponent after the opening that I would begin exerting my aura into my pieces therefore he wouldn't be able to take any of them. He understood I wasn't kidding around so he resigned.

[wide schooner]

Ik lol she just likes to play

[zealous mason]

im already pissed off

[verbal rapids]

So take ur anger out on me

[keen grotto]

Before every move, calculate what move your opponent can play. If they have no legal moves, and you do not want a stalemate, then play another move.

Or just give check every move, then it can never be stalemate!

[zealous mason]

get out

[verbal rapids]

Take every last pawn of mine and slowly make me lose hope

lol

[zealous mason]

stop buzzing around me

[verbal rapids]

Anyone down to play ??

[verbal rapids]

In the good old days there used to be ppl here

[round meteor]

okok so i had knight on e6, queen on b8, pawn on a4, king on e2. opponent only had king on a5.

i moved the knight to c5 (i took it into consideration that it would cause stalemate beforehand then i forgot and still did it😂)

how could i have won instead

[zealous mason]

[unique flame]

Nah it's chill

[keen grotto]

Qb5# is checkmate in one.

In general, you can checkmate with just king and queen. So if you are uncertain, I would put the knight as far away as possible, and then bring in the king, in order to checkmate with the queen.

[unique flame]

The Barmen defense is chill

[zealous mason]

it has a name?

[last badger]

Loser gets mod role removed

[unique flame]

Just play puzzles and only move when you are sure

[unique flame]

Yea

[zealous mason]

it usually follows like d4 cxd4 cxd4 nxd5 nc3 g6

and you get this d4 position that is so stale that it usually boils to draw

[tardy carbon]

Wdym cxd5 ?

[unique flame]

Oh yea you right

[scarlet arrow]

only to face the jobava again and again

raaah

actually I never played you with white ig

[candid merlin]

puzzles gives you hints, like your brain gives you a muscle memory that you need to sacrifice something or to find mate somewhere, though I think that works too because of long sequence of moves that you need to calculate sometimes often in lichess (ig)

[scarlet arrow]

💀

[bronze fern]

Yeah thats why I dont like facing alapin it becomes so boring unlike if white were to play an open sicilian

Nah I would play different things for a match

[scarlet arrow]

[copper comet]

I can yes

[scarlet arrow]

what do you have in store

[copper comet]

Some secret stuff 😉

[coral thunder]

Hi

[unique flame]

You don't need crazy stuff just do your puzzles and when you play play focused

[zealous mason]

decide if you want to be a positional or tactical player

[candid merlin]

idk dude I'm a Positional Aggressive player

[sharp falcon]

Isn't average like 1000

[candid merlin]

I've made a Forced 7 Move Sequence when I was 200 elo

[verbal rapids]

Anyone down to play?

[zealous mason]

thats not a thing

[sharp falcon]

Okii

[candid merlin]

it required a bishop sac from what I remember

[unique flame]

Tuff

[small jungle]

Yes

[merry bough]

how

[small jungle]

Idk but I would

[unique flame]

Tuff

[zealous mason]

i mean its a theoretical draw no?

[small jungle]

Most likely flagging

[wooden robin]

I think it's based on the majority of chess players how average a player is.

[bronze fern]

Maybe try to force a trade of queens and then promote the pawn. Only works if opponent is stupid though

[wooden robin]

idk tho

[mossy tide]

Chess is a pathetic game I hate it

[wooden robin]

great for you!

[small jungle]

It's 600

[candid merlin]

and it's calculated too

[keen grotto]

No, the average rating in chess.com rapid is about 600.

In this server, it's a bit above that, last I checked it was roughly 700.

[topaz gazelle]

hi chat

[torpid pond]

i feel like that includes accounts that have played maybe two games and logged off since

[unique flame]

Improving at chess is not easy but simple

[torpid pond]

idk about simple

[keen grotto]

That only includes active accounts who played at least one rated game in the last 90 days.

[torpid pond]

i hoped so but couldnt be certain

[wooden robin]

I'm having a déja vu, u said it yesterday?
anyways, it's your opinion, I hope you find a resort in another thing in life, chess isn't a must-option

[keen grotto]

obviously, in our server it also includes inactive players, although server members tend to be a bit more involved with chess than the average chess.com user.

[torpid pond]

true

[wooden robin]

again, that's awesome, keep goingg

[topaz gazelle]

chat should i play a classical otb game against myself

[mossy tide]

Chess players r broke

[wooden robin]

hi

[last badger]

@keen grotto do u know whats the average USCF rating? And average FIDE too?

[candid merlin]

:33

[unique flame]

Sit at the chessboard and play with yourself

[torpid pond]

thats surprising because im around 700 and i know i put very very little effort into learning, if i sat down and studied even remotely often id be much better

[mossy tide]

Except magnus and gotham

[torpid pond]

i guess everyone else is lazy too

[topaz gazelle]

hii

[hot elm]

im trying to play the vienna and man why does everyone at 600 elo play the scandi

[wooden robin]

based if they treat it as a career

[topaz gazelle]

yeah mate thats the plan

[hot elm]

literally 4 matches in a row of scandi

[torpid pond]

check if gotham or hikaru made a video on it

[mossy tide]

They're poor I hate it

[topaz gazelle]

play with myself for 180 minutes

[mossy tide]

Hate chess

[rare steeple]

how do u get fide rating

[torpid pond]

genuinely thats a large part of the reason youll see the same opening all day

[unique flame]

Show your game history

[topaz gazelle]

actually 300 minutes

[wooden robin]

I play vienna too

• learn leon hart - I think that's what it's called- and crush them.

[topaz gazelle]

Gotham just uploaded a slowrun video

idk if he played scandi in it

but that could explain

[blazing sluice]

whats the best counter to london system

[unique flame]

Try to stop when you're tilted or onfocused

[topaz gazelle]

I want to learn the petrov but i dont know how to play against the vienna

[bronze fern]

I've played the leonhart gambit like 5 times and have won all those games. Doesn't come up very often because not everyone plays the scandi let alone Qa5

[topaz gazelle]

quick c5

[rare steeple]

englund gambit

if they accept

[torpid pond]

learning the london system

[topaz gazelle]

symmetrical london isnt really a counter

[wooden robin]

okay, your opinion is clear and loud, what now? what's the point of saying you hate it all over again?

[torpid pond]

i meant learn london theory to understand their ambitions

[last badger]

I always give back the pawn against englund gambit players, and its somehow like magic cuz they always play like 500 elo worse after when they dont get to play their gambit

[topaz gazelle]

its a way to play but it isnt really dynamic

[wooden robin]

k, what are you doing here

[unique flame]

No ambition just london

[topaz gazelle]

its the london

[mossy tide]

Daamn Im still better than u

[blazing sluice]

i dont like gambits too risky, recommend a defensive tactic

[mossy tide]

[blazing sluice]

i normally do dutch defense against any d4 idk if it works against london

[topaz gazelle]

it does

[rare steeple]

should i fully learn the pirc defense

[unique flame]

Kings indian

[zealous mason]

it really dosnt

[unique flame]

Don't

[blazing sluice]

isnt kings indian a less defensive dutch

is it positional?

[rare steeple]

its the only black opening i play

[frank bane]

hello my friends

[mossy tide]

Anti D setup best

[bronze fern]

There is a trap against the london but it only works at low elo. d4 Nf6 Bf4 c6 e3 g5 and if white here takes the pawn there is Qa5+ forking king and bishop. I hope I got notation correct i am a noob after all

[unique flame]

I wouldn't recommend kings indian or pirc for beginners it's kinda tricky

[blazing sluice]

im playing ppl w fide ratings bro 😭 i wont be praying for them to blunder

[rare steeple]

yeah but ive been doing good with it on black

how do u even get a fide rating

[wooden robin]

then, play vienna as usual, offer the pawn, and don't care, there's a line where you put your bishop on the diagnol in the king side, I think..
or you could just take the pawn of scandanivian, just be careful and you're fine

[bronze fern]

Yeah I definitely don't recommend this trap to you. Maybe only to people 1000 or below lol

[unique flame]

If it fits you that's great i used to play it from 600-900 I had really chaotic games

[torpid pond]

irl games

fide tournaments

[frank bane]

its normal opening with easy motives

[blazing sluice]

also my dutch defense is pretty weak, can someone look at the game i played

[candid merlin]

otb

[topaz gazelle]

The dutch doesn't work in general but playing the dutch isn't any worse against the london than against QG

[torpid pond]

is that a question

[unique flame]

I disagree

[rare steeple]

ok

[wooden robin]

as a human being? you can't really judge. As a chess player? I don't see how magicaly you're winning the argument that's not even one by saying this, like, yeah you hate chess but what are expecting?

[frank bane]

im not talking about personal opinions boyo

[candid merlin]

an addition to the answer

[slate crater]

cool i got a promotion checkmate

[unique flame]

Yeah u disagre still

[frank bane]

if u promoted to a bishop it wouldve been aura

[slate crater]

should have underpromoted to a bishop

[unique flame]

*i

[slate crater]

but i didnt see the checkmate

[candid merlin]

shi looks like it came out straight on a puzzle

[blazing sluice]

i hate when opps dont resign a losing end game

[wooden robin]

I like it, it's nice, try it and see if it works for you

[unique flame]

Don't switch up you openings before a tournament

[topaz gazelle]

Aginst the london I generally just play the benoni because I enjoy self torture but dutch can still work, a d6 g6 isnt bad

[frank bane]

sonion it doesnt matter if u disagree were not talking about personal opinions

[mossy tide]

https://tenor.com/view/me-when-im-bored-of-doing-it-again-and-again-gif-26673650

[wooden robin]

why?

[blazing sluice]

I know i want to improve my dutch, ive been practicing catalan more than the dutch

[unique flame]

I find it tricky

[wooden robin]

share your experience please

[wooden robin]

hello

[zealous mason]

Catalan is S-tier

[wooden robin]

fair for you

[zealous mason]

Dutch is C-tier

[blazing sluice]

yeah i love playing it everything is connected

[blazing sluice]

but i dont have any other response to d4, if they do e4 i go with scandi

[wooden robin]

oh that's why, ofc, your game would be in danger if you missed in the opening

[topaz gazelle]

ew scandi

[weak apex]

I won a game that i thought i would lose

[topaz gazelle]

actually i cant talk i play french

but ew scandi anyways

[torpid pond]

no clue how the scandi works

[unique flame]

I still disagree

[frank bane]

ragebait of that level doesnt work on me son

[candid merlin]

it's just early queen attack but revised atp

[unique flame]

For beginners I would mich rather play something with straightforward development

[blazing sluice]

d4 d5 xd4 Qxd4 nc6 Qa4

[wooden robin]

great for you!

[scarlet arrow]

secret as in stuff you play on your very well hidden alt I can't access at all ?

[blazing sluice]

yea i havent seen anything unusual

[wooden robin]

ye

[topaz gazelle]

Trade pawns in the centre early and even though black is down in development white cant do much about it because of the already resolved centre

[wooden robin]

great, i'd check it out, thx

[blazing sluice]

yo if dutch is C tier what do i play against d4

[torpid pond]

the borg

[pure coral]

hey bro you tryna run some rapid games?

[zealous mason]

Semi-Slav/Slav, Nimzo, Grunfeld

[frank bane]

@unique flame challenged you boi

[pale pollen]

👋

[woven zephyr]

Anyone know what type of membership do you need for the explorer database thing? I can only do 4 moves without one. Do you unlock it all even if you have Gold?

[pale pollen]

[pale pollen]

Go lichess for free

[blazing sluice]

choose one

[topaz gazelle]

is it okay to play a semi slav playing e6 first

[pale pollen]

Chess.com = scam

[pure coral]

hey bro you tryna run some rapid games?

[zealous mason]

I play Slav, but i think Nimzo is better. I just learned Slav

[topaz gazelle]

semi slav is more solid which is what you said you prefered

[zealous mason]

before i was knew better

[buoyant warren]

Dutch is fine

[pale pollen]

[woven zephyr]

I been trying the Slav, and it's great

[torpid pond]

alright what the hell is gotham up to

[buoyant warren]

Its actually pretty good

[weak apex]

Does someone want to play rapid 15+10? Im 541 rated

[blazing sluice]

wait semi slav is what category

[shell lynx]

🐌

[zealous mason]

lies

[pale pollen]

No my friend

[torpid pond]

folk

[shell lynx]

d4 d5

[torpid pond]

[blazing sluice]

no category

[grim crag]

11 bishops

[blazing sluice]

defensive aggressive or positional

[pale pollen]

Into the as

[buoyant warren]

sonion

[blazing sluice]

semi slav

[topaz gazelle]

defensive and positional imo

[pale pollen]

Good good

[zealous mason]

d4 nf6 c4 c6 nc3 d5 is the better moveorder imo

[grim crag]

That makes sense to me, it's a known structure.

[sharp falcon]

Bot most of these 600 are accounts with only one or two games

[blazing sluice]

is it smart to learn it 3 days before tourney

[pure coral]

does any1 wanna run some rapid games

[pale pollen]

Who cares about openings… it’s not that important

Pick whatever you like

[shell lynx]

[pale pollen]

Sorry no bro

[torpid pond]

some folks stay in sub 1000 for hundreds of games

[zealous mason]

kind of agree, kind of not

[hazy tundra]

no it not smart becazse you can mess up lin3s

[woven zephyr]

Do you know your pairings?

[wooden robin]

whaat

[topaz gazelle]

probably more defensive than positional because the triangle defense makes your center really solid

[topaz gazelle]

in a bit

[pale pollen]

I mean something at least playable

[blazing sluice]

no

[zealous mason]

thats why i wish i learnt Nimzo

[grim crag]

It's preventing the BBC by applying a BWC, at the same time making space for the knights.

[pure coral]

okay I added you

[zealous mason]

its alot more ambitious

but its so much effort to learn a new d4 defence

[pale pollen]

At your level, I would focus on tactics

[woven zephyr]

Then I would say just play what you know and long as you have a counter vs D4 and E4 you're big chilling

[blazing sluice]

i had 2 week for preparation i went 500 elo up in all time stamps

[topaz gazelle]

I think theres an e4 line which is kind of sharp so i wouldn't exactly recommend

[blazing sluice]

crazy icl

[sharp falcon]

Hundreds is pretty normal tho especially if they never played chess before

I see most ppl get to 1000 after like 800 games

[golden dove]

damn

[pale pollen]

Bruh

[topaz gazelle]

I play e6 against d4 and idk if i should focus on learning nimzo or semislav

[wooden robin]

ofc, but still openings are important, scew it up and then you get a bad game

Rapid: 100

[blazing sluice]

i dont really play e4 because i dont know any lines for it. also imo its a very common opening so people would be more confused playing against my d pawn

[slate crater]

i got a cool checkmate

[topaz gazelle]

d4 is just as common

[frank bane]

@unique flame close one

[unique flame]

Well played I really don't like playing against the kings indian

[pale pollen]

They are not that important to learn, just follow the principles

[topaz gazelle]

I'd argue d4 is even more common than e4 at the 1500 level, at least from what people i know at that level have told me

[woven zephyr]

I would say the D pawn is the most hard to counter yea, like if you know some Jobava then you can dominate

[wooden robin]

thx

[pale pollen]

Couples of moves, follow the principles and you are fine

[slate crater]

based on chess.com database 159M games were e4, and 88.7M games were d4

[hollow locust]

Sometimes the best move is quitting chess, I think

[wooden robin]

yes

[torpid pond]

he blundered and you didnt

could be worse

[woven zephyr]

Just make sure you know how to deal with like englund gambit and other bogus stuff

[hollow locust]

COULD BE WORSE-

[golden dove]

if y play 4 games at the same time you get over 100 accuracy

[blazing sluice]

okay so as white i play catalan, as black it depends what my opponent plays, if e4 i play scandi if d4 i guess im going to have to study nimzo or semi slav

[topaz gazelle]

thats 2:1 ratio, but thats mostly skewed because most low elo games start with e4

[slate crater]

My winrate over the last 30 days is 60%

[hollow locust]

Now we’re using all of the brain

[slate crater]

yay

[pale pollen]

You need coach bro

[hollow locust]

I’m 600 so probably

[pale pollen]

Low elo need coach

[golden dove]

I'm 3000

I played the englund gambit vs someone in a onine event [covid moment] from a Eric Rosen video before the round and won in 9 moves with being up a rook. He raged quit

Me and Magnus are so goated at chess

[golden dove]

I can coach u

[midnight kite]

who wanna play

[pale pollen]

If it’s true, you don’t need coach bro

Is starting with c4 a good way to avoid those type of openings?

[pale pollen]

Nah I don’t see myself doing pro chess

[golden dove]

ye

Playing a QG but I start with c4 instead of d4

[pale pollen]

[zealous mason]

Petrov or Caro

[midnight kite]

ok

[slate crater]

That was necessary information that constructively moves the conversation forward

[blazing sluice]

caro is good? i thought it was a beginner defense

[golden dove]

he just challenges any high rated bullet player online and farms them bc they are not used to the time control

[topaz gazelle]

tbh i play e4 but i also play QG sometimes so i don't know

[shell lynx]

Why allow reverse sicilian then

[sharp falcon]

Invincible is mid btw

[bronze fern]

Yeah it can work but maybe not all the time

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-ohio-ohio-speed-gif-15535319664773406193

Hello! Kindly recommend a good brand of mouse. I've been losing in bullet games.

[slate crater]

1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nf6 3. e4 is what i do

[blazing sluice]

ive never experienced ts in 1400-1500 is it that bad

[zealous mason]

Vienna just go d5, four knights? bro what are you scared of? the scotch

[golden dove]

I find it to be too much prep work to get an tangible advantage against it but then again I'm sick of prep rn

[golden dove]

??? how is that possible

[bronze fern]

If they play Nc3 a good and sharp response is Bb4

[coral grotto]

🐔

[woven zephyr]

Yea Englund is trash, but like lowkey videos like this can, keyword CAN work if the other person is just trying out D4 or don't know about it

[topaz gazelle]

im not scared its just i dont like that type of position

[shell lynx]

Why would u play petrov

[golden dove]

u should be happy with the 4 knights scotch if u choose the petrov

[blazing sluice]

[slate crater]

i dont ever play englund gambit

[grim crag]

Would anyone like to get crushed in a 1v1 match against me? I'll be gentle I promise, so gentle I will blunder all my pieces.

[woven zephyr]

But it can be fun if you're playing unrated or not much on the line

[golden dove]

bro has never been outmanoeuvered

[topaz gazelle]

The thing about 4 knights is that they can play the scotch but they can also play the ruy lopez

[pale pollen]

As black

[wooden robin]

[viral night]

Why did he resign lmaooo

[midnight kite]

DM

[pale pollen]

You are dead if you play e5 after d4

Sure. Id like to be crushed in a chess 1v1 :3

[blazing sluice]

[grim crag]

A bit above yours.

[zealous mason]

bb5 is met with bb4

[slate crater]

well when you climb through 700-800 the scholar's mate kids slowly fade away

[viral night]

Would yall resign in an equal position just cause you have 20 seconds?

[rare steeple]

[viral wharf]

Can anyone check my match with 0merxButt my user is BoschetaruDinIasi and tell me your thoughts

[grim crag]

Fr?

[golden dove]

?

[prime tulip]

Yes

[grim crag]

What's the main line?

[torpid pond]

the “norwegian rat” has a 51% win rate for black PURELY because magnus plays it. hence the name

[shell lynx]

What about it

[golden dove]

weird pawn structure vs space gets u a fighting game

if he takes on c3 and on e5

[prime tulip]

I'm not sure about that, But I just play e4 after

[shell lynx]

Ur just gonna go c4 0-0 and play the same old game

[coral grotto]

Na3, opening with triple sodium attack 🔥

[grim crag]

You're so funny I like you.

[viral wharf]

Isnt london system also very commonly played by magnus

[grim crag]

Ok so you just wing it like that.

[potent gulch]

Heyy, mb, I wasn't on discord at the time you pinged me 🥺, if you set a date or time I'll try my best to be there

[torpid pond]

idk but the london is popular enough for magnus shenanigans to not heavily skew the win rate

[prime tulip]

Yep

[golden dove]

Sometimes the opponent plays d4 after the first knight move, and it becomes a reversed Englund.

[grim crag]
