hmmm
but then it takes your f8 rook
queen for two rooks tho
and it is basically a trade
i thought Bh3 worked for a second
a queen for 2 rooks is considered equal
no clue im on drugs
Lol
2000 rapid when
when i stop throwing
im stuck below 2k forever
I need to farm you :>
☠️
i hate bullet like yes i mated my opponent but goddamn 2 sec gave me a heart attack
sawcon
imagine playing bullet smh

isn’t it 2 am in Sweden lol
it is
isn't it 2:18 in sweden?
but i was playing bullet at 3 am yesterday lol

@sharp galleon forgor to compliment new pfp
sweden just 1 hour ahead
Hello gaymers, who wants to play chess?
you shouldn’t compliment it to start with though 
wait a sec does that mean you tilted again

hello fellow ches players
h
well not really
i am back
just decided to change it for once
This is the Chess.com profile of cellen01. Take a look!
Name: Vincent (cellen01)
Premium Member: True
Moderator or Staff: False
Streamer: False
Rapid: 2303 (2303 peak)
Blitz: 2188 (2311 peak)
Bullet: 2300 (2300 peak)
my blitz is kinda sadge though
watching gotham rn
Who wanna match
@slate wing ?
blud is 2200 "my blitz is sad"
Wanna match,
No.
my peak was 2300+ though 
Bro i have a questión? Do u see anime?
why are all of you guys so good 😦
im at my peak rn and it's 606
why so I feel insulted
ay just defeated an FM in bullet
@flat kraken gg
it is called I don’t have a life
the tilt is real
why did you accent the o 💀
That was ur top 5?
Ok great I’m a 1700 and I lost a queen before move 10
my bullet rating is so embarrassing ✨
ohh Omori
i suggest finding a sport
Because i Speak another Idiĺm Lmao.
bro for a sec i thought you got fots potato lmao
(chess is a sport)
damn zax tilted
physical sport...
its too sad
nah m8 I’ll pass
Nah
When you said openings don't matter I guess you technically weren't wrong if you play it like that... That's not how you should play against the barbaleen variation
i already know what your going to say to this but try to find friends
indeed i tilted and i feel too unmotivated
i cant finish it
am i living under a rock, what is a fots potato
so i took a break today
dam
I do, just that none of them play chess
the only time i get physical during chess is if i lose 3 games in a row if you get what im sayinng
Who wanna match?
@clear sequoia hi can you please join the vc it is about a user that was in the vc some minutes ago (you dont need to)
me
g
my friend said it is a depressing but good game
i got bullied by a british good once and lost.
Sorry i can't im gonna talk with Character A.I
But h ewas higher
kek i never played it did you?
though I have never played it so idk
Good timing
nor did I lol
log out please
and delete app
bro what
Huh?
i thought you were gong to say something like: im an introvert and stepping outside causes me to get stage 5 lung cancer
ceo of using emotes i dont understand
it went quiet
.-.
watch out for bofa
whats bofa?
bofa deez ||hands||
team sports are nice (physical sports)
Zup
im watching breaking bad rn
yeah bu-
?

waltuh i gotta see you 2k one day bud
Lmao honestly

I will

2k is pretty easy tbh
Any openings for white that are spicy or sum but reliable
it would if i have been playing for years but 6 months and grinding this shi is pain
2k23?
you know 3 bucks was tempting fnx
if talking about reliability, QG should be pretty consistent
but indeed clown lol
any good strategy for beginners, like study tips?
i told my uncle i went against a 1900 at 8 AM and he hasn't responded 😦
Welp if you start late you will have to spend much more effort to get good
🥴
better call saul XD
I started 12 which is already kinda late
Watch alot of vids and get learn middlegames
thats what i say
How a 500 can reach such an accuracy 2 times
blud forgor his card and discord stole that 10 pounds from my man

Clash royale be like
hehehehehaw
Should I report this guy ??
no
Because accuracy isn’t a factor to determine whether one is cheating or not
- he literally only got 90+ twice
Report who
A 500 finding 20 best moves 2 great moves with 0 inaccuracies
E
i think i was born to be a horrible chess player
And In a previous match that guy found a brilliant with 4 great moves
Ok i am checking the avrage centipawn loss of that guy
check the time usage as well
Ok
the croc
also cool new pfp corpses
why do i lose 5 in a row and then win 5 in a row
why it gotta be like dis
That guy is super sus
It doesn't
better then losing that 20 games in a row aaaaaahhhaaaa
Just don't play
lol wtf
Ok I just checked the games are sus for a 500
Ya he's hitting 90+ acc in rated games
yeah m8 report him
how does the dude know polerio lmao 😂
honestly i couldnt care less about rating
Let's not accuse people of cheating here
definitely cheater
just report
i care about improving
YA Thats super sus
def cheating
Polerio is basic theory
i never ever seen a 500 do that shi lmao
I just thought that was my skill issue but this guy's cheating LOL
Guys not not accuse people of cheating
play me bitch, sigh, i mean, respectable sir
Let's not
He might be Smurfing
If they are cheating then the FP team will handle it, if they aren't then they won't get banned. It's very simple.
Let's not push it any further
sure send me inv
BRo his bot acc reaches 70%
coming right up
how dare someone cheat on chess!
are you online?
ofc
Ask mods to ban him LOL
cheater
why are you talking like its not an issue, cheating shouldnt exist
idgaf
hes definitely cheating
He could be Smurfing idk, but I say we should leave it up to FP to decide
Ok the games are really short I just looked at a few more
YA I am gonna report this huy
Short Ah games can’t really tell
Guys read the rules you shouldn't be accusing people
just report them
if you see someone that low elo playing 95s like that
probably a cheater
Ok my bad
If they get banned then they get banned if they don't then they don't that's all we need to know
@grim edge Good luck friend
Damn I'm cracked 😎
Ya I am reporting this guy
Let's not interrogate them further
Zax why u aint sleeping
Bro i just got left on read by a girl after i asked her how’s her summer 💀💀
im back
I would've left you on read too, too nice
block her 🙂
Why
not the end of the world now u know not to waste her time
You gotta bring put your inner douche bag
Give me tips rizzly bear
I should preface that my tips only work for casual encounters and goth babes
After i got left on read i suddenly got 3 am motivation
Hi chat
"these two pawns are playing touch butt in the park" -GothamChess 2023
She'll be asking how your summer is after you hit 2k
simply show her your 420 blitz rating and she will feel some typa way
love that quote
Thank you thank you, its elizia from bocchi the rock
Demon time 🗣️🔥💯
it's so confusing
Please drop 
Hallo chat I’m aang
But fr can we appreciate that I'm apparently back to 1500 playing strength 😂
nah its not, because it makes sense so easily, my brain goes right too stacked pawns
I'm 1670 on daily and 600 on rapid
People don't have time to play daily games
bro has ?? And is 1350 rating estimate..
What is up with these anime pfps
when they play the ruy lopez and take your knight your pawns are doubled
Even if I did have the time I'd still use ally vacation days on yiu
anime is pretty mainstream these days
Me no like roy lopez
/profile
I don't watch anime
especially in discord servers bruh
Mid ahh pfps
Unf
№
I know some of it… some..
me neither but it's still pretty mainstream
ik 4 lines
Tbf I don't have an anime pfp, just a cool banner because I didn't know what else to put
whenever people say they know ruy lopez theory... 
Ive found my 2 fav openings
Everyone here is 1 elo
even GMs dont know full theory. there are too many games played and lines
ik how to counter it with black i hate the roy lopez soooo much
queens gambit and caro-cann
English and scandi for me 😎
-me avoiding studing end game just to study theory at 600-
1? Bro im 0
i will once again send this ruy lopez opening tree:
thats it we cant talk.
the result has turned out to be cry for 30mins
I play the London too
Its just blurry st😭
London W
because too many lines 😂
thats fine, Im just a scandi disliker
yessir
people say sicilian is complicated..
It is..? 😭
sicilian is pretty dynamic that's why people say it's complicated
if your over 1500 it's not
Most exhaustively analyzed opening for black
damn i dont got perms
"I make $100 a day without working. And it's so simple you can do it too! Here's how you can do it!" 🤡
Expectally the najorf and English attack
nvm if your 1200 it's easy to learn
Are you ok
What are you on?
Seriously
I dont think he is okay
@grim edge Great Game 
I am 2000+ and Sicilian is still super hard to learn
The English attack legit has so much theory it's insane
is there any good instructive video about the sicilian in the youtube?
And the result?
don’t even think about learning it at 1500
Sicilian refuted 🔥
@grim edge just a reminder, we both need to sleep
Exactly
dont bully me im 606
i won
Bad advice!!!
yeah well played
hi zax, go sleep rn
Okay.
Yes
zax play me when 
Oh they were only 1200
people say "dont learn theory at whatever rating" but it's always troll. if people have time, even if 100 rated, go learn theory (not just memorize lines but actually try to understand moves) it makes anyone a better player
its 3 am indeed
gO SLEEP!!
hi ppl someone want to play ?
tc?
send unrated link
Idk there is a point where it all just leads to a draw
sleep is too cringe
Nah me
europeans in chat go sleep rn
what is tc xd
yeah imagine sleeping
I agree with all my heart
Zax is only 1900 right?
time control

i have only played 3 chess matches today cause im scared of losing
Sleep is good
yes but ive been playing 6 months only
He reachin 2000 in a week
I played zero
a kick 10 min
10+0 dm link unrated
If someone tryhards every day for 6th months that doesn't mean anything
.....so go to sleep
Jay 1600 soon aswell🗣️
I play 2-1 games a day so i can relate
And you give me those vibes
it is soon 9 am
so I’ll pass
93% accuracy win let gooo
Good job
Im 900 and I only know the first 2-3 moves of my openings 🙂
im guessing its 8:52
Why
(actually it should be 8:53)
I've been playing chess for 6 years and are 800 rates how good is my progress 💪
ik the first 25 moves of my opening 💀
i once got 89
Sheesh
that too much whats your rating?
I once got like 98
Let's assume someone consistently plays for 6 months at a rate of 10 hours a day, Is it not the equivalent of someone that has been playing for a year at a rate of 5 hours a day?
606
@bleak isle wtf
i play like 1 hr a day max
And I play for 0
I once got 100% (opponent hung their queen on second move)
Lmao
But is your brain functioning after 10 hrs of chess?
your maths doesn't math
The year Player is probably better
you dont even need openings.
But the experience is technically the same, no?
there was a time a queen checked my king and the forced move was for a knight to take the queen out. it was a forced move, but part of my plan so whenever the queen takes a piece, it's taken
theory is more important than people think. when you know multiple lines, you start to recgonize positions, so you know what to do
yeah just hang a queen instead 👍
How long have you been playing for, 9 years?
Bro i think u need some sleep 😭
@bleak isle one of my friends just dm me you are pixel why do you have so many alts
recognize
Who?
Nahhhh
😮
theory is important but other ~600s make their own lines to the opening.
Magnus won 9 games in a roww
lmao
broooo
Yeah but… you’re 600
I'm confused
im better than other 600s i may be underrated by 300 or 200
that pfp? freaking nostalgic
Your opps plays random moves 😭
than why aren’t u 200 or 300 higher?
i played against zax yesterday and it was all theory
e4 a5
nice, im 900 but continuing to win over and over. Im probably 1100~
Fr
Until it isn't.
Which is like 5 moves
fr lol
Yeah but what happens if they dont play theory which happens all the time in your level.
watch the game
Theory can get to like 40 moves
it's on my profile my user is Cashew_s
No thanks I have better things to do
can
oh alr
🗣️
he is 600 so he just blunders instantly , I remember those days😭
Usually 7-18 moves, depending on strength
a3
E4 c5 ke2 and you’re out of theory
Shockingly, that can actually transpose to the English

Hot take: Queens on a1 or h1 (for white) or a8 or h8 (for black) are extremely good
Huh
im pretty proud of this game
queens instead of rooks?
I don't think their strength is very high
Or like, study intensity
Yep
London is a systematic opening
there’s basically no theory this game
and rook instead of queen?
it's not the main line for london you would know that if you knew the thoey
theory
I don't know theory, what's wrong with that
ur 600 u don’t need theory
Why would I study theory
it's a lot of book moves
Theory could be useful in getting rating, but also it neglects things. I had someone play 16 moves of Marshall theory against me and hang their queen (1600)
Zax throwed lmao 😭
but did you know it were book moves
i wanna go at a party
wdym?
did u know it was theory?
playing random moves that were theory doesn’t mean you know it is
throwed what i got 93 accuracy
He probably did from a course
god knows
yes i studied this exact theory 3 weeks ago
i missed 1 move to the theory though... that's alr
Be like me, study theory and instantly get confused by how similar positions look
i forget queen d2
Opps chess.com bug
just play opening with little theory
The KID is also a setup there really is no theory
You literally die without theory, dont study theory instead study puzzles
It's a setup vs a setup
||London||
says you that play Catalan
I play kings gambit it’s pretty simple tbh
dude here is a video on youtube on this exact theory
Dubs
you can search it up
says the other player who plays catalan
YouTube videos aren't in depth enough

what u play?
Everyone plays Catalan 🙂
hi everyone
dude just follow their moves it's simple
Hey V great to see you
KIA/catalan
nom
Why should i
pls say it wasn't a london
thats the wrong mindset to have
😭😭😭
The reti is fun
I need to stop playing the englund it stopped working at 1500 elo😭
Nf3 d5 c5
Yeah

great to see you too
youtube videos explain what the moves do. books are just telling you the moves
what?
I play the he reti
it was technically a Jobava London against Pirc set up, so it was still a London
i understand the moves....
I like how the name sounds

How in-depth are the YouTube videos
Transposed into a classical esk pirc setup
ok sure it may be a london but it was apart of the theory i learned for the KID
hi
dont its pixel on a alt and he is denying it one of my friends told me
Bro its not even the KID 😭
they explain what the move does and what the goal of that move
it isn’t a KID to start with bruh
But in only a few lines, no?
man has his sources lol
y’all don’t even need theory tbh it’s never that deep just play what looks right🤷♂️ GeneralZods advice
W
Pretty good advice I ignore
Knowing only 4 lines of an opening is not equivalent to knowing the opening
Does not matter because once you’re out of theory you make a blunder/mistakes
4 lines is just the bare tip
Agree
im no joke friends with 463 people and 400 something of them are from here🫠
dude im 606 when people play the KID do you think they know what they're doing? why would i study like 16 lines for the KID at 606
I still don't know who that is
add me when
impressive
I have to nuke your dms
back me up 😦
Hes just telling you to stop studying theory and focus on puzzles/learning rom your mistakes
Is the smith morra gambit good against sicilian it works basically every time for me
Why would you study the KID
done
bruv
it is pretty good tbh
what is the KID?
If your opponents don't know anything
No
because ppl started playing it against my london and i didnt now what to do
King’s Indian defense
It's -0.3 I believe so I guess it's playable
oh alr
You continue with London setup no?
1600 sicilian players always don’t know what to do after it lol
Gambits are practical weapons that would probably work below FM
that's what i did i use the london theory at first though i wanted to know how to fully play it.
bye bye
You’re acting as if you play every top engine move to make being -.3 actually a disadvantage
I guess you can but 600s just self destruct
From +0.5 to -0.3 is a drop of 0.8
some gambits has been seen at GM and IM games and worked with great success
well i used to continue with the london theory. did you see the game? that was not the london theory
Not even 600s, 1800s self destruct easily
True
jesus
yeah for Cai u should just focus on getting better at not blundering and seeing tactics and u will be fine for a bit
But generally like sound, like Marshall or QG
Doesn’t mean much to me
the only thing i feel that i need to improve is my end game. my openings are always great
You’re doing it wrong since you’re a 600 theory does not matter whatsoever what matters more is tactical play and positional understanding theory wont help you whatsoever in your current elo range
I don't trust the evaluation of a 600 and I can challenge that
I hate K+P endgames
I have to calculate and learn theory
Devote more time in puzzles so you can spot tactics more
theory allows you to know what the right move is
The ones on top of my head are yes QG marshall but also benko gambit and evans gambit
a little late gn chat
help me pls 😦
Are you not listening? 😭
Theory for people in 3 digit is nearly worthless information
why aren’t you sleeping-
You have to learn how to actually play chess
This
Close discord.
theory is for all ratings.
gn
No its not
Omori headspace nightmares are NOT something you want
Also let's not ping him
what's your opening for white?
Maybe excepting Endgame theory
But most endgame theory is far too complicated for a 3 digit
KIA
kinda chad ngl
exactly that's why i only study opening and middle game theory
at ur elo u don’t need theory u can play the fried liver and win like 65% of the games just bc of that and if u just play normal in middle game ur opponent is gonna blunder or make a mistake due to there rating
I need to remember Phillidor and Lucena, K+P endgame idedas and other stuff
Nice winrate
only 21 times tho?
why can magnus memorize 1000s of games but i cant just memorize simple theory?
I have a 60 percent winrate in Catalan
70% pirc
because magnus is the best player in the world💀 different elos have different things that are best for them to focus on
Because magnus has been playing chess at a high level for very long
And he needs to
how the f*** do you think he started? memorizing games
yeah maybe bc of that book
92% winrate in mainline Catalan 💀
Because he’s already good at tactics, positional understanding and can play chess without theory
ur not making sense💀
i feel i am as well
Cai stop comparing yourself to magnus how long have you been playing chess?
Do u have photographic memory like him? ☠️
lemme check my kings gambit
magnus has memorized 1000s positions, meaning one of the first things he started to start learning is theory
I've been on a beautiful climb
I play the catalan as well shits OP
i just got like, a 15 move puzzle 
Do you have photographic memory?
wtf
do you wanna test me? cause im telling you can you solve a rubiks cube in under 30 seconds? that's all memory
I don't know how that happened
?
Sawcon
Cai maybe take a break from chess that would help
kitty
You arent even making sense bro im just telling you that opening theory is not at all practical at ur elo
openings are dumb
Nuts
THIS IS A TALK ABOUT THEORY WHY WOULD I NEED A BREAK
all i do is move the king's pawn , protect it with horsey and do whatever
Cai i think u need to sleep 💀
prob
theory is so helpful
lmao
Cai if you are getting so worked up about something so obsolete as chess as a 600 it's best to take a break
Does anyone listen to the Magnus rap song?
u can have 1200 rated theory but if u have 400 rated middle game and endgame u aren’t gonna get very far I think theory is definitely good to practice but you should focus a bit more on middlegame and endgame rn
You dont need to memorize 10 lines in ur opening just for ur opps play a random move…
I memorize 10 lines in all my openings
if you arent here to learn as a 600, you need to be humbled
I know the first 6 moves of the 6 most common lines in Duras Gambit (an opening that nobody plays)
Grob theory
Frr
I am nobody
Qg8?
When you get a checkmate after losing the game by like 18 points
Bro I know Borg Gambit theory
I won this💀💀💀
My opening repertoire for white includes 8 lines
Thats for the d5 responses (i play nf3)
Kh8
Lol fun mate (didn't happen ingame, opponent resigned a move before)
You won a pawn did I miss something else?
Dang lol
I have respect for people who dont resign and keep playing
Bad opponent smh
Its catalan/kia theory so its rough
Bruh Reti is my 2nd weakest opening as black. I'm terrible against it
mk alr
Lol fr
Ik black is losing with this position
This is how i win against higher rated players 🤑
I resign after move 15, I don’t like chess’ endgames, it needs an update
Daang
I just hope for transposition
Just play the Ross Gambit
Jerome gambit
i need help in chess
Nikhil Kamath beat Viswanathan Anand with it
who volunteers
Wot is that?
+5?
OH nvm I know it
E5
How does it work?
Alr
Wait I just realised, no mods active
I don’t know because I never looked at theory but look at the 2021 game where Nikhil Kamath used it to defeat Viswanathan Anand
Can someone message me and help me understand how I drawed but not checkmate? I'm kinda new so I don't quite get it and I can't post pics in here yet
Was it stalemate?
im back
Can someone help me with the algebraic notation on the password game? I can send ss in dms.
...
I am so tired of people coming in here for the password game
Ah yes, King can move like a knight
listen man i prefer theory, you prefer tactics ok?
Imagine a situation where your opponent deviates and you have no more theory
I was here before I knew the password game existed.
Oh two days ago?
i already have good tactics i do like 30 puzzles per day
i do a bunch of Aim Chess stuff
do u do puzzle rush?
No i know more theory than you, i love studying theory but at your level it shouldnt be your focus
no i get anxious and cant think
alr man but i bet i knew more theory than you did a 600
no mods?
That is not a brag
Yeah you beat me on that one 😭
Yeah none, we can do whatever we want
4pc means 4 perfect clear
🤑🤑
i should study more tacticsfor end game my end game is extremely bad
Endgame theory is extremely hard so gl
I just started chess like a couple days ago I'm sorry 😭
Im free even tho its 4:36 am (💀)
I'll play the crab in my next game
internet rizz
I'm done with the chess question. But can you help with tge elements
Elements?
Can I dm rq?
Oops my bad
You guys remember the good ol' days when chess was only for nerds?
Something changed?
More unnerdy people play this game now (they're trash)
Does anyone who is high rated ever just let 3 digit players win for fun?
Only nerds are good at chess
No, they win against me because I'm bad
Yes. It's now for everyone who steps foot into a middle school. Just because something boosted chess and idk how. I used to play chess a while back but quit when it got popular and I just started again. And I suck as usual. 100 elo.
It was Critikal

Nice bro
I told you bro
I unironically main the Crab
Frr
Day 1 of finding someone that’ll play the symmetrical bird
💀 symmetrical bird
I am still waiting on a Double Grob
So that way I can finally test out the Coca-Cola Gambit
HOLY SHI TRUE
Who named it Coca-Cola Gambit
Who cares
They could've named it smth better

Can I get rid of the red color?
You can have talk for a few days and get image perm
i feel like its more of a concept rather than theory
since you can sort of verbalize what you're doing you don't need to say the notation whereas in opening theory its harder to do that
Symmetrical Bird, sounds like smth for Leningrad players
simple rook endgame situations
I do but sometimes I get confused
cooking
Still can't get rid of it.
200 rapid soon guys
You have to be trusted
I think you need trusted role
How do get that?
Beautiful
ng5?
WTH
Ng5 h6 now what
ng5 ng4!
not always
I have something similar to that but way worse
if u copy my moves i can force a win in 4 moves
but theres just a point where black has to stop copying
Looks even more boring than the Giuoco pianissimo
Yeah like Petrov
h4 h5 g4 g5 hxg5 hxg4 Rxh8 ez

i can checkmate in 4 moves copycat chess
Genius
did unity get banned
They locked me up in an insane asylum for saying the Crab was good
Ion know how the king got there
LORE
i beat the copycat chess game on sixtyfourpro (great resource btw). fastest copycat checkmate
What's the grunfeld?
nerd emoji opening
Who is everyone?
waow
d4 Nf6 c4 g6 Nc3 d5
I see no point in playing the Grünfeld unless you are a super GM
I miss unity even if he snitched on me (🤬) 😭
I play the reversed grunfeld for white
I see no point in ever playing it
Happens in KIA setups
the grunfeld with the black pieces is for masochists
what happened to unity???
Nah the Durås Gambit is for masochists
i mean the duras gambit you're just a little worse
the grunfeld a positional pain in the ass
Left
what for
Unity is having his moment he’ll be back like zax 
Ask pixelated
I did a Zax this week
pause
You did what to zax?
I left the server for 5 days and am about to break my peak
woeojcn
Unity has the mannerisms of a child so my guess is like 11?
dumb sicilian variation no one knows it
I meant, I followed his example of leaving discord and raising 130 elo
Probably 12
Maybe
No one noticed that u were gone 😭
i mean no one knows King's Indian Defense: Samisch, Orthodox, Closed, Bronstein Defense but its theory
Lmao
just became 615 elo yessir
well i think lucena and philidor arent theory for different reasons
theory is better than tactics
horse
??
Im not having this conversation again 💀💀
OPPONENT'S INTERNET DIED WWW (he had 40 seconds left)
???????????
w
RIP
i thought you weren't here sorry
i feel like they're more concepts because you can verbalize what you're doing ("building a bridge") and you don't need specific notation to describe it but with opening theory you need the notation and a bunch of other associated stuff
that's true
i've won 8 rated games in a row
yessir
yeah
Who wants to know my favorite opening
me
theres a specific sequence of moves that has to happen but i view the lucena position as a concept just like triangulation or opposition or shouldering
Ok buddy
it didn't die because the bars that mark his internet are full besides his name
wayward queen players: 💀
ok, it goes: e4 e5 nf3 nc6 bc4 d4 exd4 nxd4 nxf7 Kxf7 Qf3+ kd6 nc3 and i win
fair point
isn't that a trap?
yes. 
but it also just feels weird to call something in the endgame theory
d4?
alr i've seen it before
yes
Bc4 d4
yeah
What is black's response after Bc4
hot
\
ig this is what tripping on carbon monoxide fumes gets u
omg michael jackson
What's up my ni
LOL
ce guys
Brain destroyer
Oh god
His response was Kf1
And my response was Re1
Followed by his stalling into an auto-forfeit
OUI OUI BAGUETTE

I traveled across continents from 100 elo to get to 615 rapid. I have fought the whole Chinese army on my adventure so I don't want to hear it
Kiryu knows best
ok now walk to school like grandpa did
become black
Normal Saturday for a Filipino
i burned my lai to the ground just to get to 700
black pancake
Bro why is everyone so low rated it’s unreal
I know right
Define low rated
bruh
Everyone under 3000 is just trash
Fr
I finally cleared 600 todau
1600 which is trash but everyone here seems to be U1000 wtf
I'm so proud of myself
I just don’t get it
I don’t get how anyone could be 1600
Pixel? Bonglord? Me?
Yeah like you
Bongclpud opening
no sorfy i gotta commit a few more massacres before i get that. up next r the tianmhen sqare and boston
Exposed
My peak 1644 was 2 weeks ago but I been playing long time controls and learning new opening not like it matters idk why everyone is U1000
i am eleventy trillion elo
Bonglord isn’t, I’m not?
-when your current rating is your peak-
Imagine losing 200 ELO
hi
👋
I should lose way more I’m relearning chess atm
Happens tho
I was under peak by 150 ELO at the start of this week
To redeem yourself you must learn the Crab
If I play same old French defence queen gambit 10 minute games I could easily get 1600 back but I’m tryna improve and Learn new things
heh, only the crab? what about.. the GROB
But whatever I just don’t understand why every1 so low rated that’s all
no. giveme your money
Bro Bonglord, myself and Pixel are 200+ your rating
Ofc there ppl higher here but it’s the minority
My highest rating is 1000 points higher than your current rating
a random man messaged me that i dont know and asked me if i was gay
But I get why people lose rating because of new openings
Hmmmm
his gaydar was off the charts
Are you though?
Lmao
Guy with the rainbow emoji in his name would be the one to ask
he said he is high
at least I quitted my losing streak after changing openings
questioning if im the most active person on general
What state?
No, you don’t have FOTS for one
wtf Alabama
i feel like i deserve it though 😦
Lmao
i chat like up to 4 hours a day
I am still looking for chess players in Wyoming
That’s not good 😦
So far I have gotten a cow to play e4
what else can i do to get it
I found players in Australia
haiyaaaaa
Cut the arguing be nice
it is cause i really really want the FOTS role

Talk more and be on the server for like 100 days or more or smth
you won’t get it if you beg for it
can i rizz you up
wha-
He’s a male buddy
