[sinful basalt]

[slow prawn]

OHHHHh

[small jungle]

Najdorf is my normal vro

[slow prawn]

wait check my winning streak

[hollow rapids]

i played a game of scotch today bro i can't lie it's such a weird feeling

[idle basin]

A lot of theory

[small jungle]

Most players don't know theory anyway tbh

[hollow rapids]

like the positions are so quiet

[small jungle]

They be playing random stuff

[small jungle]

From scotch?

[hollow rapids]

sometimes yeah

[buoyant berry]

Wait ur 2400 holy

How long did it take you

[grim crag]

How?!

[hollow rapids]

but they play very stupidly, always loli variation

[slow prawn]

Ive gone insane

[small jungle]

What are the moves I forgot ts variation

[grim crag]

Kudosss

[slow prawn]

I focusede on lichess puzzles like alot

[hollow rapids]

relieving all the pressure in the center immediately by trading pawn and knight

[grim crag]

Hmmm

[buoyant berry]

How much elo can i gain from 400 in 2 weeks i would consider myself better than my average opponent

[meager fiber]

200

[buoyant berry]

Like realistically

[slow prawn]

you can reach 1000

[small jungle]

This?

[hollow rapids]

yeah

[buoyant berry]

In a week 😭

[hollow rapids]

such a stupid position

[slow prawn]

very easy

[grim crag]

Three fiddy

[wind bay]

its time to close them tabs beo

[buoyant berry]

Okay

[small jungle]

It's just bad for black

[scarlet arrow]

the thing is you never are better than someone at your rating

[buoyant berry]

I dont blunder as much lol

[spark thunder]

Whats the best chess opening against e4?

[slow prawn]

the main point in it was the winning streak

[hollow rapids]

doesn't make it any less of a dumb position, this is such a non game

[slow prawn]

caro kann

[wind bay]

oh i only saw the tabs

[scarlet arrow]

but you still have the same rating

[grim crag]

Just close the tabs son

[slow prawn]

killed him

[small jungle]

Idk why would black go into it tbh it's super bad

[hollow rapids]

BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THEORY

istg people at 1100 treat chess as if it's pacman

oh me see piece me take piece

[small jungle]

Gotta pump ur elo vro

[slow prawn]

the problem with learning theory even with 1400 elo is that idk what do they even play and tbh idk what to play against their moves

[grim crag]

Yummy

[spark thunder]

Which opening is the best against e4 caro kann Sicilian or e5? Im a beginner

[slow prawn]

play caro kann its easy sicilian is tuff

[hollow rapids]

anyways i was bored today so i learned the entire main line of the capablanca caro kann, well the old main line and the modern main line

[grim crag]

Caro-chan >//w//<

[small jungle]

What's the capablanca line

[tribal sage]

get more people to play caro so we can have fun 🔥

[slow prawn]

ALIENNNNN GAMBITTTTTT

[cobalt oxide]

e5
black doesnt play an opening
white does
basically you just try to survive

[sterile cape]

easy to counter

[hollow rapids]

e4 c6 d4 d5 nc3 xe4 Nxe4 Bf5 followed by another 15 moves or so of theory

[supple fable]

plays catalan trust

[grim crag]

MYYY GAMBIT MYYY LEGACY

[small jungle]

Crazy

[sterile cape]

but i still play the AG sometimes 🫠

[slow prawn]

not really easy even at 2000 fide ppl cant counter it properly

[scarlet arrow]

so easy to counter caruana couldn't properly against witty

[small jungle]

@hollow rapids have u ever played against euwe attack in caro

[hollow rapids]

no what is that

it rings a bell

[small jungle]

e4 c6 b3

[hollow rapids]

i think i've looked at it

[sterile cape]

i havent tried it OTB but most ppl struggle to defend against it ur right, i decided to learn the best moves so i dont lose in 15 moves 😭

[hollow rapids]

ohhhh i've heard of that one

[slow prawn]

I still have to learn to counter alien gambit yet

[small jungle]

Have u heard about the double labahn gambit tho

[sterile cape]

is it good?

[small jungle]

Equal or slightly better for black I think

[hollow rapids]

no

[exotic kernel]

You block a scholars mate once and the opponent instantly resigns

[hollow rapids]

rasa studier gambit i have heard of

[hollow rapids]

wdym so easy to counter

[sterile cape]

yh for sure but is it fun to play though? cuz i'm getting bored of spamming the same 15 moves against the caro

[exotic kernel]

Frankly pulling a scholars mate above 400 elo is insulting

[hollow rapids]

why must you hurt me this way

[small jungle]

Idk I just play tal variation and it works well

[sterile cape]

400 elos surely know by now how to counter the scholars mate

[cobalt oxide]

thats a joke right?

[grim crag]

I've had my successes with c3 e5

[median sequoia]

Hello

[open sequoia]

How often and how long do I have to do my puzzles

[exotic kernel]

The scholars mate is yes

[sterile cape]

yh same, however i still gotta learn it properly cuz I face Nf6 most of the times

[hollow locust]

Genuinely couldn’t have won against this guy, (high 500 elo btw)

[tranquil ermine]

how do you learn a chess opening completely in and out

[exotic kernel]

Play it every game

[hollow locust]

If you aren’t playing as white you’ve probably lost

[grim crag]

Make them an MRI

[scarlet arrow]

don't

[hollow rapids]

you have a myriad of variations, you could also play the fantasy, you could play something besides tal variation or alien gambit

[open sequoia]

Top 10 aired

[tranquil ermine]

why?

[slow prawn]

c3???

[scarlet arrow]

your opponents will deviate

[sterile cape]

i play the main line simply, where u take on f6, play c3 Bd3 Qc2 Ne2 and long castle and launch an attack

[cobalt oxide]

while you specifically may have the opening down to the T
A lot of your 500 rated brothers and sisters don't

[tranquil ermine]

so how do i begin my games ._.

[slow prawn]

1v1 rapid?

[scarlet arrow]

principles !

#1040028251965358121

read the opening section

[hollow rapids]

which main line

[nimble arch]

a good thing ngl

[tranquil ermine]

yeah ive been looking for that, idk where to learn that lol

[hollow rapids]

there are multiple

[tranquil ermine]

ok

[scarlet arrow]

huh

[exotic kernel]

It’s funny because the people trying to pull a scholars mate actually mate themselves. That one counterattack where you sac your knight into a fork is guaranteed checkmate or a queen

[cobalt oxide]

They play it because it works half the time if not more

[hollow rapids]

which variation do you play because i don't ever play a caro kann where i play f6

[nimble arch]

Well if the opponent deviated and you knew all the lines in it then that means they did something wrong

[hollow rapids]

unless in some advance vairation games

[hollow locust]

Genuinely I made one middlegame blunder and lost the game instantly. 500s play an almost perfect game

[sterile cape]

Nf6 bro

[hollow rapids]

ts is NOT main line gang

[exotic kernel]

Countering scholars mates is so fun lol

[grim crag]

Sorry I meant c5 e6

[exotic kernel]

Because they don’t know about the reverse checkmate

[sterile cape]

It's one of the common lines, maybe not the main

[hollow rapids]

i'm guessing you like attacking chess huh

[sterile cape]

Yeh

[hollow rapids]

you should play the fantasy

[small jungle]

Short is the main line these days tbh

[small jungle]

Fantasy is ahh

[sterile cape]

I used to but it stopped being effective at 2200

[small jungle]

Tal variation is goated

[slow prawn]

I do that asw but the opponent doesnt take the pawn on f7 unless h6 and till then they develop their pieces to attack once the knight is sacrificed

[hollow rapids]

also true and if they play botvinnik carls you could always just play f4 and your opponent is gonna sufferrrr

unless they play e6 instead of nc6

[wind bay]

lol i read the server nickname wrongly

[grim crag]

You keep developing.

[cobalt oxide]

than youll be gaining rating bro

[sterile cape]

I like playing against the tartakower ngl

[small jungle]

f4 I heard is complicated

[slow prawn]

I do that but their knight on g5 is a real pain

[hollow rapids]

yeah ofc you do if you trade everything off you're gonna win

[hollow rapids]

you could play panov

[hollow rapids]

it definitely is

[sterile cape]

Or jus launch an attack cuz im faster most of the times in the opposite side castling. I could also find a central d5 push to win a pawn and win an endgame. Multiple ways to win

[sterile cape]

Maybe, but so far what I've been playing seems to be working well. I'll try it in some unrated rapid ig

[hollow rapids]

you often have to play g5 as a pawn break

[earnest raft]

sonn

[hollow rapids]

panov is pretty positional

[patent night]

hello

[hollow rapids]

idk man you said you were sick of playing the same shi in every caro game

i just tried to give some suggestions

[scarlet arrow]

play the fantasy and be happy

[fleet dove]

the fantasy is lowkey buns

[hollow rapids]

i lowkey have never seen it

[zinc prairie]

I am so happy! There's a WFM in the server.

[hollow rapids]

i have never ever not once played against it

[scarlet arrow]

[zinc prairie]

I can't wait to be friends with her.

[fleet dove]

it's lowkey tho

[scarlet arrow]

💀

hi back

[fleet dove]

super lowkey buns

[zinc prairie]

She is the goat!

[cobalt oxide]

Ben Feingold?

[inner venture]

Yoo

[scarlet arrow]

nuh uh

[small jungle]

Why play fantasy when tal exists

[fleet dove]

I could list maybe 4 better caro lines

[solar kayak]

is 1800-2000 gap that big or no?

[fleet dove]

actually I could list 10

[hollow rapids]

bones just hates it because of f3 weakening the king

[scarlet arrow]

and more studied

[scarlet arrow]

just a hater fr

[sterile cape]

Yeh I appreciate it tho ty, I'll defo try the panov sometime

[hollow rapids]

i could list 10 i sure as hell hope you can as well

[sterile cape]

Yeh

F3 g4 best combinatkons of the first move

[fleet dove]

qb6 refutes the entire system

[solar kayak]

like 1800 has no chance of beating a 2000 big or ?

[grim crag]

Illuminate me please. uwu

[scarlet arrow]

which, the Qb6 e5?

[sterile cape]

There is defo a chance but it isn't as common as a 2200 beating a 2400

[scarlet arrow]

they can def beat a 2000

[sterile cape]

I've lost to 2100s before as a 2300 so there's a large skill gap between 1800 to 2000

[scarlet arrow]

but not in a match

:p

[hollow rapids]

btw those are advance, tartakower, karpov, capablanca, exchange, two knights, two knights mindeno, botvinnik carls, euwe attack and breyer

[scarlet arrow]

by match I mean several games btw

[misty vale]

I js resigned a game that I was somehow winning… I thought my position was losing but the evaluation bar said I was winning by a lot

[solar kayak]

preciate i trying to reach 2000 i js wanted to know

[fleet dove]

qb6 nc3 dxe4 fxe4 e5 yes

[grim crag]

You have 10 days left, no pressure.

[scenic lantern]

hydrogen boom vs crying cat ahh moment 🔥

[misty vale]

Oh god I should’ve set the day to smth different

[sterile cape]

Just focus on ur openings, especially the ones u play or face the most. If ur good in theory you can get to 2000

[grim crag]

Tick tock, tick tock

[hollow rapids]

you only need to gain 50 elo per day, that's doable

[fleet dove]

both are playable

[scarlet arrow]

but oké

I don't care about the caro anymore

Nf3 b3

[buoyant warren]

gained like 100 elo in one match and i still feel pissed 😭

[hollow rapids]

how'd you do that

[buoyant warren]

farmed a 2600

[zinc prairie]

Can you make her a mod? @scarlet arrow I don't know. She deserves all the best.

[grim crag]

Steroids

[zinc prairie]

Yo, Rinqed can't be the only one with a title, you know?

[scarlet arrow]

doofus CM soon

[grim crag]

Ohhh damnnn

[tranquil ermine]

how do i take advantage of good positions

[hollow rapids]

i will never be a cm

[grim crag]

If up material, trade down.

[zinc prairie]

Yay! But for real, make her. She's an inspiration. She empowers women, and we need more female chess players.

[scarlet arrow]

too vague to answer

[grim crag]

Who?

[scarlet arrow]

still not done ? 💀

[hollow rapids]

are we talking positional advantages or material advantages, every situation is different

[zinc prairie]

the wfm

[tranquil ermine]

positional or slight material like a pawn

[grim crag]

Who?

[zinc prairie]

No! Look at my bio, and Idk I got inspired to become better because she is better.

[west snow]

is dis tuff

[sinful basalt]

guys if i beat the 1400 bots and iam 600 elo does that mean i can be 1400 elo

[scarlet arrow]

what is there to see

[west snow]

anyone can be 1400

[hollow rapids]

be patient, you just have to keep playing the game, nursing the position

[scarlet arrow]

bots ratings are wrong

[fathom canyon]

Not really

[grim crag]

Maybe if you dream strong enough.

[hollow rapids]

target the weaknesses

[zinc prairie]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ai-iron-man-ironman-ZT6vqo2yTz6FW0LC2z

[hollow rapids]

which sounds too vague i know

[tranquil ermine]

well how can i identify them is really my question

[sinful basalt]

ur not the real one right

[west snow]

yall

[supple fable]

which is the best to learn an endgame or opening theory for 600 elo, i want to grind to 1k

[hollow rapids]

weaknesses are squares which can not be defended by pawns very simply put

[scarlet arrow]

your question leads to entire books being written

💀

[tranquil ermine]

ok but what books, like i dont know lol

[obsidian wren]

I haven't yet written books 🙁

[tranquil ermine]

im searching for sources

[scarlet arrow]

#1040028251965358121

book section

[obsidian wren]

Create a book section here

[grim crag]

tactics

[fathom canyon]

Look at the board

[grim crag]

How come I never thought of that?!

[supple fable]

is it learn by doing puzzle

[obsidian wren]

A guy beat me with the Dutch Defense less than three weeks ago 🙁

[daring bramble]

puzzles arent too good because you know there is a tactic, you have to learn to spot tactics as well

[hollow rapids]

yes

[hollow rapids]

you can't spot a tactic if you don't know what it looks like though

[timid current]

tactics are everything

[obsidian wren]

To make matters just as bad, another guy beat me with the Englund Gambit. He even made a mistake in the opening. I was very unhappy about that 😭

[hollow rapids]

not everything

[hollow rapids]

englund gambit is a mistake

[daring bramble]

there are two sides to chess which is positional chess and tactical chess

[molten canyon]

I HATE MOUSE SLIPPING 😡

[zinc prairie]

@scarlet arrow Can you see me?

[nimble arch]

Well thats because theres more to chess than jsut the opening

[grim crag]

It helps. But study the concepts first then tactical compositions.

[scarlet arrow]

where

[hollow rapids]

and dynamic chess

[timid current]

at our levels, 99%, at higher a bit less yeah

[nimble arch]

making an opening may provide an advantage but maintaining that advantage can be difficult

[zinc prairie]

Dont use a mouse. Play on your fridge.

[molten canyon]

WHAT?

[grim crag]

Don't play on your fridge, play on your heart monitor.

[potent gulch]

Chess more like flex

[hollow rapids]

if you like positional chess more no reason you shouldn't play that way then, ofcourse at the end of the day your position can be as suffocating as you wanna make it but if you can't do simple tactics it's not gonna do much

[shadow obsidian]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/908011539217416215/1478127618233602138/caption.gif

[potent gulch]

Bless more like chess

[empty spire]

E4

[grim crag]

Chess, more like matress.

[nimble arch]

even in lower levels its not, you have to make those tactics happen. You wont have the chance to play a tactic if you dont even do somthing such as develop your peices

[timid current]

yeah good argument ig

[marble kernel]

is 1400 good for bullet

[buoyant warren]

dude i got 19-100 on bloodlust

[daring bramble]

what does that mean

[nimble arch]

bro just start playing from 0 atp

[buoyant warren]

playing from zero is actually torture

but ill have to do it

[nimble arch]

how else are you going to beat the level lol

[obsidian plume]

Wanna bullet on lichess?

[buoyant warren]

[obsidian plume]

[hollow rapids]

it's terrible how much effort it takes to be insanely mid at this game

[scarlet arrow]

nice tweet

[grim crag]

When mid is 95 percentile

[ancient temple]

it didnt take that much effort to me

[open sequoia]

Compared to elite masters

[daring bramble]

A 1000 rating means you can beat anyone who doesnt say they play chess

[grim crag]

That's like saying CERN scientists are mid compared to Einstein.

[obsidian ice]

Anyone have an opening recommendation for black? I’m getting back into chess after previously peaking at 1700 and am learning the jobava London as white because it feels like the perfect blend of solid and aggressive

[hollow rapids]

lichess has the equivalent of 1150 as the 50 percent cutoff

[open sequoia]

Mid in skill not including multiple lower elos

[full cobalt]

tbf they probably are

opening as black against what

[obsidian ice]

E4

[ancient temple]

Play dragon sicilian, its solid and agressive

[nimble arch]

are you looking for an vs e4 opening vs d4 opening? both? any preferences?

[full cobalt]

classical sicilian

[open sequoia]

Errrrr

[hollow rapids]

bro nobody cares do you want a medal that it didn't take you as much effort as it has taken me

[grim crag]

Yeah I'm just playing devil's advocate.

[open sequoia]

Ding!

[obsidian ice]

Vs e4 just to start but if you have recs vs d4 I’ll take those too

blud if i literally told you already i've had to put a lot of hours into chess just ot be mid and you come in here acting all liek "hwell akshually for me it didn't take much effort" as if i asked you

[open sequoia]

Chess is objectively challenging to learn

[grim crag]

Whoa this guy figured it out, he might reach 2k today.

[limpid viper]

wassup chattttttt

[obsidian ice]

Ah I like being able to pressure the kingside easily, which is why I’m thinking the Sicilian mag not be the right choice, as I’ve here the main goal is the break down the queenside. I prefer relatively open games

[shadow obsidian]

helo

[open sequoia]

"I wish I learned this when I was x rating" shi it would've been harder to learn

[obsidian ice]

What line? Is it usable at higher levels?

[nimble arch]

okay, well, it does actually seem like the scillian fits a lot of these. But saying you like to pressure the kingside and break down the queenside seem contridictory

[oblique wave]

Happy happy!

guys i just got 3 consecutive brilliants yayyy

[oblique wave]

Do you not like it? Sorry never saw ur message

[obsidian ice]

In general I prefer openings that can easily break down the kingside, so that’s why I’m not sure abt learning the Sicilian because I’ve heard it’s queenside focused, unless I’m mistaken

[ripe oasis]

that is what i am going to do the problem that i will lose my sanity

[scarlet arrow]

did you win after that

[main vortex]

@scarlet arrow yes

[hollow rapids]

you were adding value to the equivalent of a singular rupee

[zinc prairie]

Your pfp is good looking.

[ancient temple]

Well im not that good at social interactions, mostly because humans are too complicated to understand

[ripe oasis]

tough

[grim crag]

Congrats!!!

[grim crag]

Bweakfast

[nimble arch]

well you said queenside before, but if you do mean kingside, there arent an abundance of openings as black that focus on it that arent dubious. The most consistent one is going to be the modern scandinavian, however it boasts the trait of being slightly dubious- playable at higher levels but not perferred

[hollow rapids]

yeah guess what if someone tells you something was hard for them ,pretty hard even they don't become happy when you tell them it was easy for you

you not understanding human interaction doesn't make me sensitive (even though i am when i'm tired, which i am)

[ancient temple]

Huh kinda funny because everytime i tell someone what i did was hard, they treat me like sh1t

[nimble arch]

man those just some bad ppl mate

[grim crag]

You okay Kazzka? Need help connecting your account?

martin is bad not braindead sometimes random moves are the best moves xd

No, I won just fine, but how TF did he play so good for his rating

Hello! Are you here?

[oblique wave]

bro 🥀

is the one in #🎨〡art-submissions good tho

[ripe oasis]

are you from brazil

[oblique wave]

no but im learning pt for fun

[summer jolt]

He plays like a 800 but just blunders in between many times

[balmy python]

where deng

[thin hamlet]

Ik, and yeah most of his best moves are just recaptures but there is about 30-40% of them are in the endgame where he has a rook knight and few pawns and he kept doing the best moves with his rook going after my pawns

[limpid viper]

how are you winning this chat

[buoyant warren]

yeah where is bro

[buoyant warren]

on time

[nimble arch]

wrong century, hes in BC

[summer jolt]

White has advantage in that right?

Or is it draw

[ripe oasis]

um try a new kind or make it less ear damaging

[grim crag]

Like any 800

[limpid viper]

yes i was asking how you'd win it

[oblique wave]

idk i like high energy music

[summer jolt]

First trade off bishop and knight?

[limpid viper]

correct then what

[summer jolt]

And then king move up one

[limpid viper]

thats a draw

[summer jolt]

Oh

[limpid viper]

nvm its not

[summer jolt]

Oh

[limpid viper]

i got confused when you said move the king up one

[ripe oasis]

try doing Indie music

[limpid viper]

then what are you doing

[oblique wave]

i make all kinds of music

i just like making this kind of music nowadays

[ripe oasis]

send

[nimble arch]

getting lucky, id start with moving my king closer- to d5 maybe

[oblique wave]

other stuff than phonk?

[balmy python]

😳

[ripe oasis]

yup

[buoyant warren]

make tiki tiki phonk remix

[oblique wave]

my mixes are harsh, i'm not good with this style

[limpid viper]

endgames suck i need to get better at them

[nimble arch]

im good enough to beat opponents in quick games in them, solving a positon not so much though

[ripe oasis]

it gives me some undertale vibes

[grim crag]

fxg6 > hxg6 > Bxg2 > Kxg2 > Ke5

[nimble arch]

doubling the pawns doesnt seem like a good idea

[grim crag]

I'm thinking of shouldering the king after or smth

[nimble arch]

g7 btw but uh ke6 isnt legal either

[obsidian ice]

King e5

[nimble arch]

it wouldnt work imo

[upbeat portal]

I guess he got mad when creating his account

[steel halo]

Be7

[nimble arch]

doubling the pawns is too strong

[obsidian ice]

Ke5?

[nimble arch]

blame endgames

[grim crag]

yeah that

[upbeat portal]

Ehat?

[grim crag]

mb

[obsidian ice]

I was thinking as a first love

[steel halo]

Be7 then the pawn fork and the promotion is unstoppable

[upbeat portal]

What?

[obsidian ice]

Move

[grim crag]

We all fall in love at some point.

[nimble arch]

king can recapture the pawn

after king goes back

[obsidian ice]

Move lmao

[brittle iron]

"knight who can't hop" 😭

[steel halo]

Oh yh nvm

[nimble arch]

blame bast

[obsidian ice]

Could king e5 as a first move for white move

[grim crag]

rook who can't sac

[obsidian ice]

Work

[nimble arch]

yes I think it is worth a considering

[grim crag]

Not bad at all

[brittle iron]

i'll make sure to

[steel halo]

BXg7 then push the pawn and it is zugzuwang smh

[limpid viper]

bros just saying stuff

[steel halo]

What's the answer then

[limpid viper]

pushing the pawn is a check not zugzuwang

[grim crag]

How is it zz? Black king can get out

[steel halo]

Maybe I shouldn't solve puzzles when I am fainting to sleep

My mom had a car named conchita, she was 19 years old

[patent laurel]

goofy and cute af

[robust thorn]

Why do you think that

[nimble arch]

no it doesnt

[vocal pagoda]

they play on 80% accuracies

[nimble arch]

but its not uncommon either

[grim crag]

Ohhh someone getting flustered.

[vocal pagoda]

actually 88%

[nimble arch]

moreso cuz ur cc close to 1400

[robust thorn]

If you play a bad opening they can get that accuracy easily

[willow owl]

the concept of transissioning to otb from online

[nimble arch]

close enough anyways

[fathom canyon]

Scratch that, I guess you haven't really seen 1500s play (Omg autocorrect)

[vocal pagoda]

i played a basic opening, dude just saw 3 moves into the future somehow at 500

[plucky kelp]

My school football teammates when I tell them that they cant all be attackers:

[limpid viper]

L spelling

[queen mesa]

hello chess enthusiasts

[vocal pagoda]

if 1500s are playing above 88% accuracy then gms shouldnt be losing to stockfish

[grim crag]

There's a no man's land between 500 and 1000 where a lot of ppl cheat.

[nimble arch]

not a good measurement, accuracy can vary by game length and type of positon

[vocal pagoda]

yea i iwsh it wasnt so easy, chess.com is rlly bad at preventing cheaters

[nimble arch]

oh and uh playing above 88% accuracy is really hard

[limpid viper]

im starting to realise the reason i start playing worse over time is cause i don't pee

[robust thorn]

Well idk, maybe the dude studied some opening theory, if it was something like the italian opening it makes sense

[upbeat portal]

No 500 can play like a 1500

[vocal pagoda]

yea but what 500 plays 88% accuracy with basically zero mistakes that arent super small

denis lakzvik has the highest accuracy online yet hes not a top (top) player [hes still high rated tho] because accuracy isnt the best measurement

Don't fight it.

there's nothing immediate after exd5

you just recapture the pawn and play for annoying pressure

Thats good, you have a good elo for a casual keep it up

so is nxd5 correct

I'm a 170

[vocal pagoda]

u dont even know my elo

[grim crag]

[queen mesa]

feel like its gotta be a sac move

[normal mason]

i think like there are 5 moves +1 for white here but I think Nxd5 is in the spirit of the kings indian

[vocal pagoda]

"positive nihilism" son

[fleet dove]

that didn't answer the question

[grim crag]

WHOA WHOA WHOAA

[normal mason]

well Nxd5 is one of the +1 moves

[fleet dove]

you still haven't answered the question bro

[normal mason]

in my opinion its the only correct move but objectively speaking everything else is also fine

[grim crag]

You might get jailed for that one

[upbeat portal]

but yes nxd5 is the thematic move

[wet hollow]

Samisch KID game?

[upbeat portal]

I felt like that in that game

[limpid viper]

typed lmfao with a straight face this guy is not real

[upbeat portal]

But don't give up

[normal mason]

its a bit like gambling, one in 5 games you feel like nezhmetdinov

[nimble arch]

we love rapport

[vocal pagoda]

so 2 1700s play worse than most 500s i face

[normal mason]

4 games the eval bar just goes up in a straight line

[brazen magnet]

It could be possible I also got games like 88 percent and I am playing since 2 weeks. Just improve and learn and u will push ur elo very quickly at low elo

[fathom canyon]

Repeat this to yourself: I have become Cookie, destroyer of worlds.

[fleet dove]

lmfao is a discourse marker, I wasn't actually laughing

[limpid viper]

you might be the first person to ever say this

[fleet dove]

but we are all thinking it

[nimble arch]

but its true

[vocal pagoda]

genuienly how do i learn puzzles are completely useless

[fleet dove]

some of us just don't have the vocabulary to articulate it

[upbeat portal]

Exactly

[limpid viper]

i do not use lmfao as a discourse marker

[brazen magnet]

Gotham chess or replay pro games

[grim crag]

lmao = slight smile
lmfao = smile
LOL = nose huff

[nimble arch]

nor the desire to

[fleet dove]

yes you do

[limpid viper]

no i do not

[fleet dove]

we all do

[upbeat portal]

Limão

E laranja

[nimble arch]

I do not frequently use that term at all

[fleet dove]

not lmfao in particular but phrases similar to it

[upbeat portal]

Lmao looks like limão

[normal mason]

tbf though there are some recent theory developments that let you play the KID more slowly and i think thats the vibe now

[upbeat portal]

It's lemon in portuguese

[limpid viper]

if i type lmfao i was genuinely laughing

[brazen magnet]

Gotham chess or replay pro games and play a lot of games

[grim crag]

Who's this kid everyone yaps about?

[grim crag]

XD

[fleet dove]

if you want to play the kid more slowly why are you playing the kid in the first place

[vocal pagoda]

i dont have 8 hours a day to play is the problem

[fleet dove]

if you want a slow kid just play the benko

[undone delta]

I was so frustrated but then i pulled this off

[grim crag]

I prefer having a smart kid.

[normal mason]

i mean if white doesnt let you, then you dont really have tactics

[undone delta]

Ill make it back to 650 sooner or later 🥹

[normal mason]

and like its a very flexible setup

[grim crag]

"Can't end on a loss" ahh moment

[upbeat portal]

https://tenor.com/view/furry-gif-25261153

[vocal pagoda]

is chess intelligence or pattern recognition

[limpid viper]

intelligence and thats why you're stuck at 500

[upbeat portal]

Both

[normal mason]

like magnus game against andy in tepe sigeman

that was a nice game

[fathom canyon]

Mostly pattern recognition, then apply creative thinking.

[nimble arch]

they arent opposites of each other, having one does support the other. However having a stronger pattern reg seems to have a more drastic effect as its specfic to chess

[grim crag]

https://tenor.com/view/ping-me-one-more-time-gif-4142606935083504117

[upbeat portal]

Ok sorry

[grim crag]

XD

[brazen magnet]

I also don’t have that much time, but in my opinion it’s more about to learn the basics and don’t make big mistakes at low elo. Surely u can learn openings and stuff like that, but at the beginning u should just learn what to do in wich phase of the game. Like develop ur peaces and pun pushes and stuff like that

[fleet dove]

it's neither

chess is a board game

[nimble arch]

im sure you understand the question

[upbeat portal]

https://tenor.com/view/ollie-boop-paws-boop-gentle-boop-gif-10872413038021902498

[nimble arch]

and intents behind it

theres no need for that

[ruby trellis]

whats our elos 🤔 mine is 850

[brittle iron]

[limpid viper]

[fleet dove]

Im not intelligent enough nor have I seen enough questions to build the pattern recognition to answer correctly

[ruby trellis]

[brittle iron]

[buoyant warren]

@grim crag

[plucky kelp]

@tribal sage hurts???

[upbeat portal]

I got to 1700 because i repeat positions, and i know what are the best moves on certain positions, that helps a lit gaining time to think. But I'm also always trying to find my apponents mistakes, sacrifices and opportunities

[ruby trellis]

[grim crag]

https://tenor.com/view/kabedon-gif-25684427

[nimble arch]
