If you brainstorm a bit you see that there are other reasons as well
just ask ur math teacher at this point
how
I will play rapid today 
Of course, but I'd still say majority of the time it's because of rejection
95% cannot solve

guys who can play with me?
You're supposed to play e5 if they don't play it no?
rating 1500+
I have no clue
Oh
I can play
Engine seems to agree with you
rating?
1500
I had no idea so I played Nf3

Tf is this
no without him he always beat me
Engine wanted e5 after Qc7 again and didn't like my Bc4
obviously
hmm
because he could have played e6
Just block
making your bishop dumb
My chess.com username is dislikebutton
Dumb? I want to castle quickly and sac my bishop best case
yeah but still
Bc4 runs into e6
Idek who he is lol
ill check it out on the car ride tmrw
Engine likes b5 or e5 lol
e5 makes sense
Some random stranger
I'd have played e5 tbh
They're all pretty chill and meant to listen during pretty much anything
Opponent did play e5 in the game actually
turning into some advance french structure
Thoughts?
Oh wow I played such a bad move
W
Bd3 e5 kinda of stuff
I would've definitely played e5
I love playing as white against some advance french struc
I might add scipio to the boys, he doesn't give me warnings when I post phantom forces clips lmao

as a ke2 ke1 player can't relate
bullet good
so what? i am gonna be better than other players soon
Bullet bad bc i tilted 500 elo in it
What an ego
bullet isn't all speed you have to play good chess too
Im 255 elo in chess but game review said i played like a 1800
not ego, it is just self trust
I genuinely hope bro becomes better, at least 1000 in 2 months
i can be 700 rn but i am very lazy and i am not bothered
bullet good cause i dont suck that much at it
when you get better stuff like that doesn't work as often
tbh i was prob stronger
bullet helps with openings
Not at all bc ppl play premove traps
once in a while it could work
if you are strong you can anticipate them
if people don't get into losing positions in the opening then bullet helps with opening
But u always gotta be weary of premoving the opening
I always play the blackmar diemar gambit in bullet, it works every time
i can see the lefong coming from miles away
rapid helps with every stage
except speed maybe
why don't you agree
skill issue ngl
yeah I meant all stages of a game
Im playing 3 min blitz and what
yea rapid is best for learning
You called me?
vienna gambit ^^
sometimes you get good openings though that you can analyze after and since bullet games are faster you get to encounter more openings to learn the best ways to respond
2+1 is legit slower than blitz
its a lovely city idk what u guys have against it
Grob opening>>>>>
3+0 on top
lovely city, overrated opening
yeah so analyzing those games you get to get good at playing against the modern defense
nice
magnus
Not the server pal, keep on moving
Nobody
blud im rated 430 💀
I just want to ask something
#dontasktoask
Why you declined englund
wanna play ?
Can I ask u something related to a game
there’s literally nothing wrong with the vienna gambit
k but make it quick
i dont even know what the opening is, i just played it for the first time maybe
Maybe later but rn j wanna ask something
Playing the opening is useful because of experience
For me it works better to help me remember than to just study it
Untrue
slap
#learntolearntoohmygodohmygodtheyreeatingmyeyes
Anyone down for a 5 min blitz game?
It's a pic position and I wanna know why it's a blunder can I send in dms
Theoretically is it considered cheating if I play bots and learn the best moves for every single variation of every single opening ever

yeah i play the vienna a lot in bullet but would never play it in rapid
sure
road to 600 🔥
quick hessin around
Omg same
if somebody wants to rot their brains i can drop the high iq match here
"is it cheating if i study for this exam"
thanks
Join millions of players playing numerous chess games every day on Chess.com. Choose from blitz and daily games, play vs. computer, solve puzzles, and more.
Makes sense
Good luck with that
my iq is an exact multiple of pi. 73
I will memorize every single response to every single move ever in every single situation
@vale python what's ur elo
sos
anyway gn guys, i will sleep for 13 hours now
Thanks
well. u know it is th word
Time to learn Kadas opening theory
No
Yes
It’s trash
Kadas best opening
on chess . com i am about 1400 at blitz but i am playing chill games there so the rating it's not really accurate
Why have the first move if you’re not gonna waste it?
lmao
Chirp chirp

I want to play against a titled player
i got to where im at without ever really study that much opening theory
Every game I just wing it
reactions without answers = fear
I mean if you play any opening right then yes, but I don’t happen to know the best line against the otter-dog crossbreeding experiment pop poo variation as black
I know one relatively short line of theory
Dam I'm 700
Other than that I don’t need to know anything
Only reason I know it is because the opening is very common for some reason
much fear
tough
anytone even like chess frfr
I like chess (only cause I am on a winning streak)
such a nerdy game frfr
always
trusted
Blitz on mobile got intense
I'm 700 elo and I didn't study anything
All I did was lose enough times to learn
Had to sit up for this one
Yeah but vinum is 2300
Is there any gambits except queens with d4?
Blitz on mobile is the worst
Rapid is good tho
A lot
I love gambit openings
Queens Gambit is NOT a gambit
Honestly kings gambit kinda sucks
GMs can play it we can't tho
True since you usually win back the pawn fairly easily
black cant hold on to the pawn, so its not a gambit
For example? I dont play 1.e4 and wanna learn some gambits
Yeah, I’ll just stick to the queens “gamvit”
You are still gambiting a pawn idk whats up?
No E4 gambits
?
play the Bong gambit. c4 e5 Nc3 Nf6 f4
The Danish Gambit wouldn't be a gambit if you didn't take the pawn at some point
Or you'd lose
Learn blackmar diemer
It’s 1. D4 and it’s my favorite
its a gambit cause black can take both pawns and be fine
hello
why tf are 700s debating this shit
Im dont play 1.e4 as white or 1.e5 as black never (just sometimes when im bored) mostly i play English or Queens gambit, sometimes birds or Grob
they should be studying how to not hang pieces instead
Thx
if you play english look into c4 e5 nc3 nf6 f4
Thats the only argument higher rated people have,you guys always involve ELO while you say stupid crap
The zeller defense is very common so learn how to respond to that
im saying you dont know shit cause you dont know shit
I literally play queens gambit
respond to this instead then
What is bro on?
Bro really stalled the clock here
I think he blocked me as well
🗣️I have 1000 elo and i love play grob
Debating whether a gambit is a gambit
W
queens gambit is not a gambit
It has a sacrifice of pawn so it is
Gambits have sacrfice of smthing
Again it dosent matter if you can win the pawn back,the fact is you're still gambiting or sacrificing the c pawn?
its not a sac cause holding on to the pawn is borderline losing
Lol would send that if I wasn't blocked
I do not understand your thought process
study QGA and you will see that black gives back the pawn at all times
Queens gambit is technically a gambit tho but it's not dubious like others
I literally know it are you okay?
Bro simply dosent believe me cause I am 700
i dont think so
Which is better for queens gambit accepted, the queen fork winning the pawn or e3 attacking it with the bishop?
Gambit means sacrifice
Winning the pawn didn't invalidate the gambit
lets play then, ill play the QG and see if you can hold on
I disagree with vimun
except that black gives back the pawn in all the main lines there
It can be taken tho
Grob is gambit 🗣️
but you cant hold on
Why would I play you? Just so you can get your ego up against a 700
Gambiting the game maybe
ad hominem
What's this server become lmfao
Yea I know but white gambits a pawn
I won many times wirh grob
Nope not even close
no, because black can never reach a position where he is up a pawn but down development, like gambits do
What's your definition of a gambit in chess
That’s because you’re good at chess, doesn’t make the grob a good opening
where a player sacrifices material for compensation, in form of development or an attack
Yup Queens Gambit qualifies
Magnus kicks ass while playing 1. H3, doesn’t mean 1. H3 is a good move
no, because in NONE of the main lines white is down material
I won with berlin wall once and made a brilliant in game (i moves all pawns, knights, bishops, queen and king and rooks 2 squares up)
name one
Blackmar Diemer is an example of a gambit (don’t ask why I love this opening so much it’s just the best opening ever)
yes, even though its dubious
You dont have to be down material for it to be a gambit?
Dubious? You mean the best opening ever
Don’t care
thats the definition of a gambit
bro think hes thealdies
That’s the definition of an accepted gambit
The best opening ever is 1.d1xe8 nerds 
An opening in chess in which the player risks one or more minor pieces, usually a pawn, in order to gain a favorable position.
