@grim edge WAIT WHEN WE PLAYIGN

hes dead 😭

[full glen]

half an hour later

[restive storm]

I try to get setups with d3 instead of d4 whenever 3... Bg4 in the two knights caro
it just feels less overextended

[sharp galleon]

what about you just play d3 on move 3

1. e4 c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. d3

[restive storm]

I've seen this a few times before and tried it but I didn't like it because it's too endgame ish

[sharp galleon]

but white is considered better though

white has the better endgame prospects

more king activity after c3-Kc2

more central space and faster development

that is if black trades queens

[restive storm]

yeah that was supposed to be the point of 3. d3
I just didn't enjoy it as much and the positions felt less comfortable for me

[sharp galleon]

.-.

[restive storm]

idk I learnt the two knights and then I liked it

[sharp galleon]

why not just play the advanced

[restive storm]

for some reason I didn't like that either

[sharp galleon]

[keen parrot]

if you look away from the offenses

[snow pivot]

Do you have tips to get higher elo or how to get better at chess

[keen parrot]

I would be better if I had

[snow pivot]

Did you read chess books

[keen parrot]

i just kinda stumbled my way to where i am now

[snow pivot]

Or was it just puzzles

Or playing games

[keen parrot]

it was everything

[opaque apex]

I mean sure I could be the most insufferable person you'll ever meet but it'd be fine if I was also the world champion of trombone or something

[snow pivot]

Oh

[hasty iris]

funny story: was on call earlier this morning with the sweetest person who is a Chesscom Admin and she is a big Wesley fan.

During our call she checked the Magnus vs Wesley game just to see that Wesley blundered mate in 1 💀 I felt so bad

[mystic stream]

pretty sure wesley was losing all of his games except the 3rd one so its all good

[hasty iris]

lol yeah i didnt know she was a wesley fan so i said "yeah magnus just refused to lose". then she told me she was a Wesley fan cause he's super nice to staff at tournaments. I felt so bad lol

[mystic stream]

well magnus is the goat soooo

[hasty iris]

😮 gary?

[mystic stream]

wel

[hasty iris]

morphy? 😮

[mystic stream]

idk debatable

[hasty iris]

it's hard to compare eras because magnus is easily the most skilled but imagine if they had engines and all the same knowledge and training measures of today

[restive storm]

[mystic stream]

magnus is too good that he doesn't even want to play to be the world champion anymore 💀

[glossy radish]

bbeeeeneeee

beep beep

hoooonnkkkkkkekke

[hasty iris]

same for morphy 💀

[glossy radish]

vrooommm

[hasty iris]

morphy retired from chess cause literally nobody in the world could beat him

[mystic stream]

stop

[glossy radish]

:(

[hasty iris]

idk how accurate this is but:

Imagine you offer pawn odds and play as black but still nobody can beat you so you quit chess

[nimble niche]

Magnus dominates in a time when every grandmaster has extensive opening preparations because of chess engines, unlike Morphy and Kasparov's times when it was easier to dominate because nobody could prep that much against them

[hasty iris]

brotha i just said you cant compare eras cause back then nobody had engines and modern training

so it's hard to say who is the GOAT

imagine gary with stockfish and all the knowledge of today. who knows. impossible to say

[inland shore]

I checkmated with a discovered check. Ngl, my coolest checkmate so far.

[untold quail]

endgames r hard

[nimble niche]

rapid elo is fake though

I'm somehow the NSW junior blitz champion and not even 2200 blitz

[keen parrot]

[mystic stream]

what is the NSW

[nimble niche]

New South Wales

[mystic stream]

oh

[wispy spindle]

aight question
after 8. Nxc5 what does black do here

[nimble niche]

I'm not the best U18 player in blitz but I won it because the two best blitz players didn't play and the third best was just a flagger in 3+0 but the tournament was 5+0

[wispy spindle]

u too

[nimble niche]

And the 4th best had a not so good result

[wispy spindle]

what would u play here as black after 8. Nxc5

[nimble niche]

I'm probably like 5th junior in the state in blitz

[wispy spindle]

nice

[mystic stream]

why are u asking me

[wispy spindle]

cuz ur high rated

[sharp galleon]

what age is considered junior

[mystic stream]

[sharp galleon]

[nimble niche]

Or maybe I'm even like 6th because the best U18 player in the state didn't even come to hte tournament

[sharp galleon]

so maybe

[wispy spindle]

dxe5 Ndxe5 Qc7?

[sharp galleon]

maybe, maybe not

[wispy spindle]

I haven't considered Qc7 there

[mystic stream]

[wispy spindle]

[wispy spindle]

8. Nxc5 now what does black do

[mystic stream]

why do they go e6 💀

no

[wispy spindle]

Nge7 Ne4

[mystic stream]

why doesn't black just go d6 nf6

instead of e6

[fickle rampart]

Fun fact: there are a good chunk of CMs below 1500

[wispy spindle]

that's a different line

[mystic stream]

or d6 then e6

[mystic stream]

hello martin

[wispy spindle]

[fickle rampart]

Actual CMs but yes also arena masters

[restive storm]

YES YES EASY EZ ESZ I WON EASY GAME NO CHANCE

[fickle rampart]

I’m so good

[grim edge]

Not real thing

[minor spoke]

What 💀

[fickle rampart]

Check my FIDE page

[wispy spindle]

anyway e6 is most common at master level (although this whole thing is rare)

[fickle rampart]

1700 but you can get it in a day if you wanted - you need to play 150 bullet games

[grim edge]

Ik its a title but id consider it one

U cant play bullet in fide..?

[fickle rampart]

You need to maintain a rating of 1700 or higher for 150 games for AIM that’s it

[mystic stream]

bruh u dont have a fide rating, but u have an arena title

[fickle rampart]

You can online LOL

[fickle rampart]

Yeah it’s a scam

[grim edge]

Ew that

[restive storm]

he missed Bxf7

[fickle rampart]

Yes this is the iconic legendary JoeKempsey a name everyone knows

[mighty remnant]

[restive storm]

he missed Nf6

[untold quail]

isnt it irl rating tho?

[restive storm]

he missed Nd7+

[mighty remnant]

ooh hello martin

[untold quail]

mousslip is my biggest enemy

[nimble niche]

even las has afm

[wispy spindle]

as in losing or drawing

[untold quail]

just mouseslipped a blunder

[fickle rampart]

You can prolly use it to help you get a provisional OTB rating idk how that works tho

[restive storm]

he missed Nd7+ AGAIN

[fickle rampart]

You can get it in a days worth of marathoning bullet honestly

[nimble niche]

smartest chess player

[untold quail]

and the dumbass didnt take my free bishop lets go

[grim edge]

Goofy

[restive storm]

he missed g5+

[fickle rampart]

Its like $30 to play in the arena and another $30 to buy a title once you achieve it

[mighty remnant]

wait wha

[limber zephyr]

no way your the real martin

[wispy spindle]

just play ruy like dor

Me when the Sicilian gets opened

[mighty remnant]

naw what happen to that random x above the radical

[untold quail]

aw my opponent was a good sport and drew cause of my mouse slip

[nimble niche]

Sicilian players hate main lines but love antis

[restive storm]

I love how much theory the najdorf is

[fickle rampart]

It’s magic

[restive storm]

do they

[nimble niche]

Antis are easier to beat

[mighty remnant]

i don't even know what is mainline and what is not 🫠

[restive storm]

I thought most would like theoretical games

I personally like the the classical setups

[fickle rampart]

What you need is the MagnusTrainer app! It’s Magnus in your pocket, with all the Sicilian lessons you need

[mighty remnant]

i like the set up where my opponent does the botez gambit

its much easier to win

although my winrate isn't 100%

/j i always win a queen up unless it was sacrificed during a forced checkmate

[mighty remnant]

ooh

btw what are you supposed to play after e4 c5 nf3 d6

i forgor

[fickle rampart]

d4 if you want crazy game

[mighty remnant]

i love crazy games 💀

[fickle rampart]

Otherwise you can play Bb5+ and try exchanging some pieces

[mighty remnant]

because i'm usually better than the opponent at tactics

[lucid marlin]

Gary is a man's name bro

[mighty remnant]

why do you like a6 so much 🫠

[lucid marlin]

Yes lol, and the girl in the pic in my son.... He just has long hair lol

[mighty remnant]

you should try e4 a6

[drifting rover]

Najdorf

[fickle rampart]

That’s Magnus style

[mighty remnant]

oh sorry i didn't know

[lucid marlin]

It happens all the time mate, don't worry about it lol

[restive storm]

IT's GARRY CHESS

[mystic stream]

gary kasparov?

[mighty remnant]

omg

gary kaparov

[restive storm]

karpov

[mighty remnant]

i remember

and antoly kapov

and manus calson

[grim edge]

get a mod to ban @grim edge he keeps leaving and joining call

[mighty remnant]

...

aaaa

[mystic stream]

without the m?

[lucid marlin]

I'm frustrated today, lost around 100 point off my rank

[mighty remnant]

its ok you will recover it soon

[lucid marlin]

From 1350 to 1250

[narrow orchid]

I played Railway Empire for the last 15.5 Hours

sleepy time

[lucid marlin]

My top rank is around 1500, I want to get back there lol

[mighty remnant]

do you, by any chance play the rossolimo variation of the sicilian

[narrow orchid]

rossolimo is boring

[mighty remnant]

oke

[narrow orchid]

if you play rossolimo you deserve all the pain in the world

[mystic stream]

whats rossolimo

[narrow orchid]

e4 c5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5

[next raft]

e3

[mystic stream]

ah

[narrow orchid]

annoying af line

you shouldnt be allowed to play e4 if u wanna play rossolimo

[mighty remnant]

..?

[nimble niche]

When I play Sicilian, I play g6 after Nf3 to avoid rossolimo

[high ledge]

Thanks for info, i will make sure to play it

[mighty remnant]

funny line

[restive storm]

do you do the accelerated dragon

[mighty remnant]

pressure on knight is ver nice

[nimble niche]

No it's boring

[nimble niche]

Otb

[narrow orchid]

ah for you it doesnt matter, people at your elo are so confused by having a slight advantage that they will blunder their queen in disbelief

[narrow orchid]

a g r e e d

[high ledge]

True lol

[mighty remnant]

i mean engine says rossolimo is best so....

[narrow orchid]

engine is trash

[nimble niche]

For magnus every opening is boring because everyone has engine prep

[mighty remnant]

ok so what are the most annoying openings

[nimble niche]

London

[mighty remnant]

mhm

what else

[narrow orchid]

be normal and dont play annoying openings idiot

[mossy comet]

imagine premoving london and then

[nimble niche]

I played stonewall against a 1600 because I knew that he has no idea what to do against it, easy win

[mossy comet]

also yes i am totally 2068

[narrow orchid]

ok

[mighty remnant]

i premoved london, proceeded to premove and win on time when it was checkmate in one for my opponent :3

[narrow orchid]

stonewall zzz

[nimble niche]

A CM did that to me but I played e5 in that bullet game

[narrow orchid]

but any d4 opening is zzz

[mighty remnant]

d4 c5:

[nimble niche]

I mean he did allow a Greek gift sacrifice 15 moves in somehow

[narrow orchid]

d4 players suck at tactics

[untold quail]

loosing on time after playing the whole game better sucks

[mighty remnant]

really?

[narrow orchid]

Yes.

[mighty remnant]

time to take advantage of this :3

[nimble niche]

I'm not a d4 player, I just played d4 to get an easy win against him

[mighty remnant]

so that means

[narrow orchid]

can u stop with this cringe emote

[mighty remnant]

d4 c5 and d4 nf6 c4 c5 are actually good?

[mossy comet]

e5 🗿
London 🤓

[mighty remnant]

ok i will

[narrow orchid]

what

how did you get that idea

[mighty remnant]

both are very sharp no?

[narrow orchid]

c5 just locks the structure for positonal play

[mossy comet]

any other opening other than london 🗿

[narrow orchid]

if you play benko

[mighty remnant]

mhm...

[narrow orchid]

you will not play benko as a noob

[mossy comet]

i love reti!!

the roti opening

[narrow orchid]

because some inflated 2200 rapid cc is trying to play it

[sturdy flower]

[mighty remnant]

i randomly played d4 c5 during blitz and they took the pawn 🙃

very nice game

[nimble niche]

I avoid rossolimo

[mossy comet]

i should try castling and giving mate

has magnus ever castle mated

[mighty remnant]

very easy, get a winning position without castling, take all their pieces, force the king onto a file and castle#

[narrow orchid]

anyways gn bois

[mighty remnant]

gn

[nimble niche]

Why are you playing rapid on cc anyways?

[narrow orchid]

i played Railway Empire 2 for 15 Hours

[next geyser]

e4 or d4

[narrow orchid]

Im not

[sturdy flower]

Yeah, playing rapid on CC is an L

[narrow orchid]

im not even playing online chess anymore

[narrow orchid]

true

[mighty remnant]

b3

[next geyser]

nice

[nimble niche]

https://discord.com/channels/387637011965804544/1123774901921263676 900s trying to defend rapid

[narrow orchid]

least likable minority of the chess community:

[next geyser]

i pick a4

[mossy comet]

O-O#

[sturdy flower]

I mean, at that level, it’s actually valid

[nimble niche]

same but you didn't give that option

[mighty remnant]

or O-O-O#

[mossy comet]

what if i do somethin like

[sturdy flower]

Just not when you’re 2k+

[mighty remnant]

that works

[next geyser]

exactly.

[nimble niche]

I still occasionally play rapid on lichess but never on chess.com

[mighty remnant]

ima play blitz until i get castle mate

[narrow orchid]

8. Nd4

[sturdy flower]

He actually played into the bad line of the Fried Liver, L

[mighty remnant]

good thing i suck at blitz 💀

[latent pebble]

rosimo more like he is emo

[next geyser]

1. a3

[narrow orchid]

just play 5. Nd4 and confuse all noobs

[latent pebble]

bad

[sturdy flower]

Fr

[narrow orchid]

ok 600

[latent pebble]

*200

[next geyser]

someone guess my cc rapid rating

[latent pebble]

559

[next geyser]

lol your right

[nimble niche]

559 and 581 peak

[sturdy flower]

Or be incredibly based and play 5. Bc5 and then cuss your opponent out if they play 6.Bxf7+

[narrow orchid]

ew traxler

also

[nimble niche]

5...Nxe4 works on 600s

[sturdy flower]

I like the traxler, it’s just I don’t play it because too many people just bail with Bxf7

[narrow orchid]

traxler would be 4. Bc5 u nub

[latent pebble]

Stafford betterrr

[next geyser]

yes

[sturdy flower]

Yeah, you’re right

[nimble niche]

Oh 4...Nxe4

[narrow orchid]

stafford is giga refuted

[next geyser]

yes

[sturdy flower]

Yes lmao

[nimble niche]

Reversed Stafford is refuted but literally nobody knows the refutation

[narrow orchid]

f6

[nimble niche]

Nh4

[narrow orchid]

g6

[sturdy flower]

I like it the same way I like the Fred

[nimble niche]

f4

[narrow orchid]

ur not impressing anyone

[narrow orchid]

dont care Qe7

[nimble niche]

f5

[narrow orchid]

doesnt do anything

[nimble niche]

It's the main line

[narrow orchid]

iirc i can go g5

but not sure

[next geyser]

now someone guess my cc alt rapid rating

[nimble niche]

Doesn't that lose to Qh5+?

[narrow orchid]

Qf7 Ng6 Ke8

[sturdy flower]

When I played the traxler, I had this played against me…

[narrow orchid]

wait

nvm, just Qf7 works iirc

[nimble niche]

Qf7 blundering the queen?

[narrow orchid]

i cant visualize

[nimble niche]

There's a bishop on c4

I looked at this line to prep against somebody who declined the gambit

Yes

[narrow orchid]

anyways i go sleep

[sturdy flower]

I had a nice look at the Winawer CG

[narrow orchid]

but its giga refuted with f6 g6 c6

[nimble niche]

It's like -1 only if black plays critical moves for like 10 moves straight

Let me get the PGN for the refutation

Do youtake on e4 or just Nc6?

[mighty remnant]

idk any gambit refutations

:D

oh yeah
i know how to play against queen's gambit

thats it tho

[nimble niche]

True you could do that

italian game 3. f5

ohhh
i don't play italian

💀

[nimble niche]

It's the only move

d6 is too slow because Ng5

[mighty remnant]

how to visualize 🫠

[tepid panther]

Basically yous a bitch

[mighty remnant]

tbh 2000+ chess player visualization is crazy

[rose thunder]

wjat

[latent pebble]

Washed ah NM

[nimble niche]

Nxe5

[tepid panther]

It's not that crazy

[fickle rampart]

Smh

[rose thunder]

gm when

[mighty remnant]

i cannot visualize a 4x4 board 🫠

[fickle rampart]

Coming soon

[nimble niche]

Not really, rosimo hung a queen against me when trying to visualise

[mighty remnant]

oh lol

still

crazy

[fickle rampart]

I heard you can master your board vision with the mind mirage mini game on the Magnus trainer app

[tepid panther]

It stems from repetition and experience

[mighty remnant]

ooh

lemme check that out

[fickle rampart]

Basically your goal is to keep track of where pieces are on the board while you can’t see them

[mighty remnant]

ohh

i can't do that 😭

[rose thunder]

just look at the pieces lmao

[nimble niche]

I've never done any visualisation exercises. I was calculating because I could when I was still a beginner. I just had terrible pattern recognition back then

[nimble niche]

I could calculate hwen I was a beginner but not as good as now

[fickle rampart]

The pieces are pretty swaggur

[nimble niche]

I was so much better at classical than online back then because my pattern recognition was ass

I got 1500 FIDE as a 1300 chess.com

[rose thunder]

how do i find my fide rating

[proud snow]

anyone wanna play a match of rapid 10 min?

[nimble niche]

I've only ever played one fide tournament when I was 10 and I got 1500 FIDE, I was 1300 rapid chess.com back then

[nimble niche]

ratings.fide.com

[verbal lake]

.

[nimble niche]

I was outplaying 1600 fide people who were in their 50s

[mighty remnant]

;-;

[nimble niche]

My pattern recognition was garbage though because I didn't really play chess back then

[upbeat viper]

o

w

o

[mighty remnant]

u

w

[nimble niche]

Like I knew the rules and basics of the game but other than that, I was still a beginner

[mighty remnant]

hat did you think i was going to say :3

[rose thunder]

i put in my name and it dont work

[nimble niche]

surname comma first name

[rose thunder]

nvm im not registered like that lmao

i dont think

[nimble niche]

have you played fide tournaments before?

[rose thunder]

nope im 1000

[nimble niche]

then you wouldn't have an id

[rose thunder]

ill go tournaments when i get like 1800-2000 in like 5 years or so lol

[mossy comet]

i love forking pieces especially while giving a check

[clever lily]

Why is this a mistake? I calculated rook takes pawn black rook takes white pawn and if not that rook takes rook then the same situation with the pawns

[rose thunder]

stockfish

[mossy comet]

also i opened a bottle of ginger ale and it sprayed like a sprinkler

it was everywhere i gotta take a shower

tom the grandma(ster)

[rose thunder]

dont say it dont think it dont say it dont think it

[nimble niche]

You lose the pawn

[fiery beacon]

Is any move that's the best or almost the best and hangs a piece given a brilliant?

[clever lily]

But I take his pawn

[fiery beacon]

that hangs a piece I mean

[clever lily]

And it threatens another pawn

[fiery beacon]

oh I did say that

god I'm tired

[sharp galleon]

not all trades are the same

you’ll understand eventually

[fiery beacon]

question still stands

[untold quail]

could someone please use game review on my game?

[clever lily]

I calculated he would take my valuable pawn but in exchange for 2-3 of his pawns

[fiery beacon]

Sure

I got premium

[sharp galleon]

depends, but at low rating mostly yeah lol

[fiery beacon]

then explain this

I took a pawn

[clever lily]

Easy lol

[fiery beacon]

it's the best move and I'm losing material

[sharp galleon]

idk

[clever lily]

Queen takes pawn and unstoppable mate

[sharp galleon]

chess.com is weird

[fiery beacon]

which is why it should be a brilly

[rich dawn]

Mate in 2

[clever lily]

Oh wait

[clever lily]

No?

[fiery beacon]

hangs piece, winning move

[untold quail]

knight hf6

[sharp galleon]

then you calculated wrong, as simple as that

[untold quail]

but thats still the best move

[clever lily]

Oh thanks

[rose thunder]

its not like pure brilliancy, it might be for a 400 tho

[clever lily]

Why have I been playing so poorly 😭

[fiery beacon]

I've gotten a brilliant for moves not as good as that one

[untold quail]

i think chess.com adjusts brilliants for different elos

[hasty iris]

they do

[clever lily]

Past few games I've been really calculating but I'm just worst 💀

[valid grove]

hi

[hasty iris]

they also adjust the estimated ratings based on the 2 player's ratings as well

[fiery beacon]

Did it change for me or something? I used to get a lot more for a lot less good moves

[untold quail]

also can someone higher rated than me go over a game i played and give me some tips pls?

[rose thunder]

sure whats ur rating tho

[nimble niche]

@sharp galleon is this not a good sacrifice? why only great?

[untold quail]

850

[rose thunder]

aight gimme the link to the game

[sharp galleon]

I mean you are 2200

[clever lily]

How is that a sacrifice?

[sharp galleon]

soooo

[untold quail]

dmed

[rose thunder]

ik

[nimble niche]

Rook takes knight

[untold quail]

cause it can be taken

[latent pebble]

Brilliants are silly anyways

[untold quail]

the pawn can not take back because Rxc8

[clever lily]

What the heck

[nimble niche]

Even after Rxd3, cxd3 wasn't brilliant

[clever lily]

Why would they do that tho

[fiery beacon]

https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/e0934e65-22b1-11ee-a8ab-e006fd01000f?tab=review

[untold quail]

to open up the position

[nimble niche]

C pawn is pinned

[fiery beacon]

This was the game btw

[nimble niche]

I sacked the queen on the next move

[fiery beacon]

I could've tooken the free knight but I did the best move because I'm just the worlds best chess player

[clever lily]

Still equal

[fiery beacon]

I'm like magnus carlman guys 😎

[clever lily]

Oh wait it's +1

For them after everything nvm

[untold quail]

@nimble niche what did u get for the queen sac?

[nimble niche]

They take my queen

[valid grove]

Bro blundered his queen

[sharp galleon]

smh

[untold quail]

if they take the queen its mate

[nimble niche]

Pass pawn on the d file that's basically impossible to stop

[sharp galleon]

after Rxd3 cxd3 Rxc8 Rbxc8 the pawn is just going down

[clever lily]

Ohn

[untold quail]

smart

[nimble niche]

It may or may not have been accidental

[sharp galleon]

and if white doesn’t take it’s a fork

[untold quail]

and depending on where they go to try and stop it it can end with u getting their queen back and mating

thats a fantastic position for u especially in low time

[sharp galleon]

so you are saying you just hung a pin, but it just happened to work out

[nimble niche]

I may or may not have played Nd3 thinking there was a fork but then found the passed d pawn after Rxd3

[clever lily]

Wait scam???

[nimble niche]

perhaps

[clever lily]

Anyone wanna 1v1 I'm like a 600
