the reason hikarus streams are good is not only the chess ability its the 300s in the chat backseating 🤣

[gloomy flint]

I got a maid and she didn't even come with a uniform! She just came in with some random casual clothes! I never got my catgirl maid! Anime lied to me! I spent 3000$ on her!

[teal dragon]

You are sacrificing material since the rook can be captured by the knight. But if white takes the rook they are losing even more

Dont ask how, just eval says so 🤷‍♀️

[crude whale]

blud thinks hes hikaru

[restive storm]

lol

[teal dragon]

Probably because blacks pieces are very active and threatening so if white trades off the defender (the knight) for the rook black gets a colossal attack

[grim edge]

[ornate ivy]

He 100% cheated

[keen parrot]

Brilliant moves on cc misrepresent reality. The way the algorithm for brilliant moves works is that it calls moves that are a sacrifice that isn't bad brilliant even though in reality they often are like 2 or 3 move calcutions that aren't hard to find in reality. The fact to the matter is some sacrifices that work aren't that impressive to find and some good moves that aren't sacrifices are impressive to find but cc doesn't represent that properly at all.

[crude whale]

na but with pronouns in the about me section

[teal dragon]

Benoni still good

[split gorge]

message deleted why?

[latent pebble]

Think

[final condor]

hopefully Leobog's V4's will fix the hollowness

[grim edge]

no GM plays it anymore just like KG

[latent pebble]

Lichess says mid 80s cc says 97

[teal dragon]

Aslong as they arent wack neopronouns idk whats the problem

[split gorge]

your image perms deeply anger me

[final condor]

veiny as hell and extremely slender fingers, are you sure about that

[latent pebble]

what the

[upbeat viper]

false

[keen parrot]

weak mindset, KG is actually not terrible against anyone but a super GM

[upbeat viper]

hikaru played a KG recently

against magnus

he got destroyed but still

[crude whale]

nah cause she jus called me fat for not being vegan 🤣

[latent pebble]

What defence

[crude whale]

thats crazy on god

[keen parrot]

yea cause he didnt play a quaade

[upbeat viper]

I don't remember

[latent pebble]

ah alright

[split gorge]

dont see whats wrong with it

[teal dragon]

If u join a vegan server just to troll it are u really in the right?

[crude whale]

vegan servers are like 5% vegans bro 🤣

[latent pebble]

Same game

[restive storm]

his scotch gambit has more pgn than one of mine I think it's like 200kb or something

[grim edge]

I know, he just asked for openings that engine prep killed among them is benoni and KG at any level KG is good until its not

[keen parrot]

if i join a vegan server just to troll i will get hungry

[upbeat viper]

yep

[teal dragon]

Ok? Doesnt change what i said

[restive storm]

but I split my prep into parts so that I can organize it better

[upbeat viper]

because my PGN got generated

[split gorge]

still dont see anything wrong...

[upbeat viper]

I didn't create it by hand

[crude whale]

Ok but i also dont care, cope

[keen parrot]

KG is disappointing cause of the d5 lines that are just equal

[grim edge]

Vegan server💀

[latent pebble]

Part 1 and part 2?

[teal dragon]

Ok whatever

[restive storm]

yeah

[latent pebble]

What course, or did you make it?

[teal dragon]

Dont come here posting your shit then if you dont care

[final condor]

it does but the sound is a little bit hollow, I ordered leobog greywood v4's (those are the v3's) so we'll see how it goes

[split gorge]

i agree @upbeat viper take them away immediately (it was completely his idea)

[restive storm]

I used a book called Caruana's Ruy Lopez

[latent pebble]

Chess books are for nerds

[restive storm]

it was pretty useful
it covers pretty much all the major variations

[teal dragon]

😭im so confused

[grim edge]

@keen parrot btw to clarify something that time i said i would beat you otb in 1 year was a joke, i have to clarify it since i seen people take it out of context

[keen parrot]

yea, we will play in stockholm tho, if not in a real game then in a friendly

[grim edge]

Who is better Roberto Carlson or messi

[final condor]

garry kasparovs chess puzzle book

[restive storm]

wait what do you mean by generated

[latent pebble]

Nerdy

[final condor]

they are really good puzzles

[upbeat viper]

I created a python code

[grim edge]

very pog im joining club this monday then i can register

[upbeat viper]

then I'll learn and understand the moves slowly part by part when I need to

[latent pebble]

Whatt

[upbeat viper]

hm ?

[latent pebble]

You made a python code that generates pgns?

[restive storm]

How does it know what moves to generate I’m confused lol

[teal dragon]

Uwu uwu uwu uwu

[upbeat viper]

if you want I can generate your ruy lopez files in a few hours but deeper and bigger

[sleek zealot]

you are disgusting

[upbeat viper]

I just use some databases

[upbeat viper]

and a recursive function

and that's it

[latent pebble]

zamn

[upbeat viper]

[restive storm]

I like studying it though
Making it on lichess

I'd rather use chessable ngl

[teal dragon]

Fr who got time for studying just be good

[grim edge]

[upbeat viper]

I had to do this because there's a lack of scotch gambit content

[teal dragon]

[restive storm]

I played Ruy Lopez when I was low elo

[latent pebble]

Italian is pro

[teal dragon]

Sukăs gambit

[upbeat viper]

you're asking that for blitz ?

[latent pebble]

It gets boring sometimes so learning ruy as a side thing

[grim edge]

Yes i like playing gambits in blitz lower times makes gambits better imo

opponents are likely to fall under pressure sometimes

[latent pebble]

I play mostly aggressive

[teal dragon]

Sukăs gambit

[latent pebble]

like tal

[grim edge]

notation?

[latent pebble]

Tal variation not the person

[dreamy siren]

Well that's good then better than 10+0

[latent pebble]

isdisracist or is that a guys username

ok good

[dreamy siren]

Great and you can continue playing that at all levels whereas some people play garbage openings that work at low ratings then eventually get stuck at a certain level because it's all they know

[umbral wind]

[grim edge]

Huh

[restive storm]

True
I never really liked those openings that are theoretically not good
