[dreamy cairn]

i saw Ra4 but i just didnt like it

[spark apex]

48k hits on forum posts or 48k forum posts altogether? Only a bot could possibly post that many times

[knotty edge]

Double sac to brilliant under promote

Probably hundreds of thousands in chats

[spark apex]

Dude those are points not forum posts 💀

[marsh cliff]

bye

[rose thunder]

anyone wanna play an unrated game

[mild nest]

@dreamy siren

[grim edge]

I still am muted in forums

ANIIIITTTAAAAA HEEEEEEELP

[dreamy siren]

At least I'm not brainwashed into valuing something meaningless

[grim edge]

@grim edge i played my first 30 min game as training like you wanted guess the opening i played i was black

[rose thunder]

why do u care about what he cares about lol

just let em be

[sleek zealot]

im done with you fr you can go yknow where

[grim edge]

Sicilian Defense: Open, Dragon, Belezky Line
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 Nc6

[sleek zealot]

ill enjoy my brilliant moves and not let a random dude decide

[mild nest]

that was a brilliant move tho

[dreamy siren]

Cause I'm tired of people getting deceived into valuing these "brilliant" moves that are meaningless

[rose thunder]

doesnt mean u should pester them about it

[dreamy siren]

I didn't look closely but it looked not as basic as most I'll say

[sleek zealot]

i almost said something really controversial that wouldve gotten me banned but whatever

[dreamy siren]

It's for their own good they know the truth

[keen parrot]

post to scare starky

[rose thunder]

thats similar to me pestering you for walking on the sidewalk

[marsh cliff]

biggest cope ever

[rose thunder]

[grim edge]

my gamble turned out to be the best move im feeling genius

[dreamy siren]

Wym scare? It's just sad to see people so confused not scary.

[heavy swallow]

Starky

[sleek zealot]

I LOVE WHEN I GET A BRILLIANT MOVE AND IM PROUD OF IT

[heavy swallow]

Calm yourself

[marsh cliff]

you shouldn’t care about brilliant moves!!!! because uhh because uhhh theyre just the BEST MOVES but hard to find!!! and they sacrifice!!! uhhhh!!! don’t ask what we should call tals queen sacrifices or anything!!! they were just best!!

!! moves existed wayyy before chesscom did

[dreamy siren]

Might as well be a completely healthy person being proud of walking successfully

[mild nest]

i love brilliant moves (starky should be scared of me)

[spark apex]

[sleek zealot]

IM PROUD OF BEING ABLE TO WALK AND THAT I AM HEALTHY

[spark apex]

i always get such a dopamine rush whenever i see the funny blue symbol on the screen

[rose thunder]

I LOVE BRILLIANT MOVES !!

[marsh cliff]

why does enjoying the feeling of an excellent move make you unhealthy

[spark apex]

i start frothing at the computer with foam coming out of my mouth

[marsh cliff]

what are you even saying dude

[spark apex]

every time i sac a knight for a pawn in a drawn endgame and get the funny blue thing

[grim edge]

I dont play d4

[dreamy siren]

At this point ya'll just trying to bother me it's obvious

[heavy swallow]

Starky

[grim edge]

this position has no trap its a pawn gamble for activity

[heavy swallow]

My boy

[rose thunder]

only cuz u do that to us for whatever reason

[marsh cliff]

you just like to hate on improvers that are happy with brilliant moves

[grim edge]

i sacrificed a pawn and it was approved by engine pog

[mild nest]

its funny how ur scared of brilliant moves

[grim edge]

I think you might need clinical help with that boss

[marsh cliff]

the coach tool is basically there FOR beginners

[keen parrot]

hardly a gamble if black is better

[mild nest]

brilliant move deserved

[dreamy siren]

Cause it's to try to help people not to bother people. That's a big difference.

[grim edge]

😭

[mild nest]

bro i partly agree with u

[rose thunder]

ur not doing a very good job of it

[dreamy siren]

No I'm trying to help them realize they're prioritizing something they shouldn't

[marsh cliff]

its super annoying for white to defend b2 , thats the point right

[mild nest]

but "brilliant moves corrupt the chess youth"?

like chill a little it aint that deep

[dreamy siren]

Fact!

[grim edge]

HAHAHAHA

[rose thunder]

false

[grim edge]

THE CHESS YOUTH

[marsh cliff]

who said they prioritize them? maybe they just enjoy the feeling of playing a great move? and have rightful pride over it??

[grim edge]

HOW ARE YALL DOIN MY FELLOW CHESS YOUTH

[primal shore]

It doesn't count when you get "?" Accuracy

[gentle sentinel]

just got some cheezits from a kid in the neighborhood, keep it fresh yall🔥🔥💯

[marsh cliff]

what do you mean

[sleek zealot]

okay lemme put this really simply for you since you dont seem to understand - every time you see someone mention a brilliant move you tell them that brilliant moves dont matter and they shouldn't be proud of them, instead of just being like "cool" or something
if you don't care about brilliant moves, you don't have to, but you can't force others not to either

[dreamy siren]

People shouldn't be caring about something meaningless at all. It's like being a healthy person going crazy celebrating over every time they successfully walk like I said earlier.

[grim edge]

Is saw one game ever with that accuracy and i wish to delete it from my system

@grim edge i play insanely when its 30 min chess btw

dude pog

[marsh cliff]

by your own logic of people not caring about meaningless things, people shoudlnt care about money, or even life itself, let people enjoy what they enjoy and stop whining at people excited about their brilliant moves

[grim edge]

if u get a brilliant ur hot thats it

[rose thunder]

this is like us bothering you for breathing dude

[desert rose]

couldn't have said it better

[dreamy siren]

I'm just simply doing them a favor giving them advice is all I feel like if I don't it's like watching them walk into a pit of confusion without trying to at least help them realize it I feel obligated to help them.

[keen parrot]

meaningless to you, let people have fun

[rose thunder]

i must be gigachad then

[marsh cliff]

i got 2 today haha am i hot haha

[grim edge]

Youre the only one who gives me self esteem thanks whis

[marsh cliff]

your advice is unsolicited and unwanted

[grim edge]

u specificslly r very hot

[rose thunder]

at the same time you manage to annoy them just about every time

[grim edge]

Makes me cry

[dreamy siren]

Bro you're getting just overphilosophical now chill out with that.

[marsh cliff]

not really

[mild nest]

you're right, we should all just keep calm and believe in ourselves

[marsh cliff]

nothing “philosophical” about what i said.. just using your own logic

[rose thunder]

"BRILLIANT MOVES ARE CORRUPTING CHESS YOUTH!!!!"

[grim edge]

lol ur majoring in neuroscience right? say u believe in mirror neurons and well talk

[sleek zealot]

name one person who hasn't been able to get better at the game or had slowed progress just because they cared about brilliant moves

[slow dirge]

damn, they all kicking someone down here

[grim edge]

I HAVE A COUNTER ARGUMENT :

[mild nest]

starky is right

[grim edge]

[latent pebble]

Has anyone actually studied Philidor from the white side

[mild nest]

i forgot what starky stands for but it doesnt matter

[grim edge]

If its an anime quote i am telling bast to ban you

Or a breaking bad quote

[dreamy siren]

It'd be like letting a young kid who's having fun going into a car where a stranger is offering them candy just to let them have fun at the moment. That's not good What would be best for the kid would be for you to stop them and ruin their moment of fun for their own good for their future.

[mild nest]

bro what

[marsh cliff]

ive never bothered, its very rare to face

[mild nest]

how is that analogy even CLOSE to whats happening with brilliant moves

[grim edge]

say u scientifically believe in their existence

[keen parrot]

this is some top tier trolling lmao

[marsh cliff]

are you stuoid

[grim edge]

Youre a med student bong?

[marsh cliff]

this is bait lol

[dreamy siren]

How?

[rose thunder]

fr lmao

[grim edge]

ur hot

[dreamy siren]

I'm ready for yall to strawman my argument

[sleek zealot]

so you're comparing being proud of brilliant moves to getting your entire life ruined by a pervert

[grim edge]

Human strength lies in the ability to change yourself. – Saitama “I am the one who knocks.” mr white. double trouble yass

[dreamy siren]

I already know the strawman coming

[grim edge]

My condolences that debt is gonna hit you like a bullet train

[mild nest]

whats strawman

[marsh cliff]

someone send the “yeah.. thats bait” gif

[mild nest]

is it accurately portraying what u said?

[grim edge]

I am not even reading that

[sleek zealot]

its some argument nerd terminology for a faulty argument idk specificalyl tho

[grim edge]

FOR FREE?

[marsh cliff]

if you’re genuinely asking its a logical fallacy in debate

[grim edge]

isnt he the guy from wizard of oz

[dreamy siren]

Let me guess it's a more serious situation the kid getting kidnapped... well yeah duh that's not my argument so if that's your counter-argument to mine it's a strawman cause it didn't say that.

[grim edge]

shit where do you live

[marsh cliff]

bait 🎣

[mild nest]

well i like brilliant moves and they give me a dopamine rush so i want to get more of them

[grim edge]

@grim edge basically this is my first time playing 30 min like you wanted, give me your thoughts on this game, also i play the modern sicllian setup instead of the normal dragon https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/pgn/7GUsQeexN?tab=review

[rose thunder]

attention seeker 🔥 🔥 🗣️ 🗣️

[marsh cliff]

the tiktokification of chess is RUINING the youth!

Ahh if my relative heard that he would hunt you down he got hit with that ballistic missile of debt

[grim edge]

lmfao

[rose thunder]

tiktokification

[grim edge]

He's 35 and still hasnt paid his debt back

[latent pebble]

You're 1675 otb?

[dreamy siren]

Cmon you're too strong of a player to think most of them are actually brilliant. You know they aren't. I know you know it if you act like you don't you must be trolling.

[grim edge]

bro kekw fridge is one of the best thing to come into this server

this is so fun

[sleek zealot]

i just looked up strawman and even if we are strawmanning you're saying that being proud of your move in the moment is not good?

[rose thunder]

also how do i know my otb rating

[grim edge]

nope just dont mind the rating x

[dreamy siren]

No it was the specific argument I made did you see?

[grim edge]

Hes an eye doctor so he doesnt have that much of a luxury sadly

it should be 0000

[rose thunder]

no

[marsh cliff]

everyone ignore this guy pls its bait and clogging the chat

[grim edge]

Being smarter doesnt help when youre an immigrant

[rose thunder]

i... dont know

[grim edge]

i wanna climb a mountain ngl

[marsh cliff]

have you ever played a team event?

[rose thunder]

i wanna climb the elo mountain 🗣️

[sleek zealot]

lemme get this right enjoying the moments where you get brilliant moves ruin your chess career?

[grim edge]

Really? Tf

sheesh wow incredible

[dreamy siren]

@sleek zealot I made this argument. And I'm saying the counter-argument of "the kid situation is more serious than the brilliant situation" is a strawman cause that isn't what I'm arguing.

[marsh cliff]

please shut up or go to dms

[mild nest]

but the back rank mate queen sacrifice i premoved is so hard to find it has to be brilliant

[dreamy siren]

Huh? Idk what you're trying to say here.

[sleek zealot]

bro im not even talking about the counter argument but i am done here because you're just completely avoiding any actual point i make anyways

[grim edge]

Damn dawg i might as well move to america

why lol

[dreamy siren]

Cause I don't understand it honestly

[sleek zealot]

brilliant vote this message if i should block this bitch ass person

[grim edge]

Do u ever get scared of falling down?

[dreamy siren]

All my intentions ever was was to help people. I'm 100% serious

[grim edge]

no but actually wow the view looks so majestic

[mild nest]

he has a basis to his argument unlike u morons

[marsh cliff]

you could just stop taking clear bait

[grim edge]

Its worth it for the view

[dreamy siren]

Thank you!

[marsh cliff]

500 elo doesn’t care about brilliant moves?

[sleek zealot]

thats why im trying to block em kekw

[grim edge]

How is the trip down tho

[marsh cliff]

enlightened 500

[mild nest]

they dont ruin your chess career but they can be harmful to improvement

[mild nest]

real

[grim edge]

Thank you ballincat43

its not that bad tho? its still theory also what about rest of the game?

[dreamy siren]

Thank you! That's all the point is! People need to chill going crazy over this like I'm being some horrible person here.

[sleek zealot]

his basis was that it is harmful - didn't say how, just that it is so its kinda like a "trust me bro" situation if ur asking me

[marsh cliff]

I disagree. Positive reinforcement is important when learning any subject, be it chess, how to drive or maths. Brilliant moves serve to give you credit for difficult to find moves and encourage you to improve

[dreamy siren]

I have explained it before

[grim edge]

Trust me bro is like the truest of pacts

[marsh cliff]

theres nothing harmful about them, and if you find them harmful you need to step away from chess

[sleek zealot]

my bad

[dreamy siren]

People start to play hope chess sacrifices cause they want brilliants so badly.

[sleek zealot]

i am embarassed i let this go on for this long im blocking this dude seriously

[keen marlin]

Sounds accurate.

[dreamy siren]

Bro this isn't even a big deal idk why you're freaking out so much

[marsh cliff]

people play hope chess sacrifices because they are bad at chess and desperately want to play a good game, not because of the funny blue exclamation points

[grim edge]

Ahh gochu

[sleek zealot]

and i hear vortex say another thing about this hes gone too

[dreamy siren]

And brilliants just encourage that a lot more

[marsh cliff]

does not make people lose more games

[mild nest]

some brilliant moves are extremely basic tactics that should be found instantly and should not be a big deal. When you praise someone for finding a basic tactic you make them seem like it is a big accomplishment and that they are improving when in reality those are must find tactics. Those should be given great moves since they are a GREAT move and they are critical in the game. Brilliant moves should be given to sequences of at least 3 moves that take great vision to see, and are not just a basic tactic you would find on puzzle rush

[sleek zealot]

bye

[dreamy siren]

Yeah it does and I just said why.

[marsh cliff]

you can also argue the brilliant move point encouraged creative and interesting chess, which analysing educates the player. whats your counter to that?

[keen marlin]

It doesn't but it does make people lose money when they buy premium

[mild nest]

i mean i feel as tho both sides r kinda right

[marsh cliff]

you act like losing and making mistakes impedes progress, but it does the opposite

[grim edge]

brilliant moves are fun and cool why do you care

I dont think that hearing someone died at the very mountain youre climbing is encouraging

[dreamy siren]

Thx for being rational.

[sleek zealot]

hi yknow uh wanna yk uh 1v1

[mild nest]

starky takes it a little too far but starky has the right basis whereas you guys just exploit the fact that part of his reasoning is faulty

[marsh cliff]

this is just the case because brilliants are determined by an algorithm. Its up to the human relative to their level on whether they “count” it or not

[sleek zealot]

dont act like my dad

[grim edge]

So when i hang a pawn its a blunder and when he hangs it its a common theme

[dreamy siren]

This is basically what has happened.

[grim edge]

hollup what happend i missed this

[sleek zealot]

just.. let it go

[grim edge]

Discrimination

[marsh cliff]

if his reasoning is faulty his argument is faulty, there has been no faulty reasoning from the other side

[mild nest]

if someone were to tell you guys that brilliant moves are given too easily and therefore are meaningless in many cases then you guys would be unable to make a counterargument since the argument is perfectly sound and correct

[keen parrot]

we were talkin abt the latest cheating gossip

[mild nest]

only part of his reasoning is faulty and you guys refuse to acknowledge the part of his argument that is correct

[marsh cliff]

if this is really how you feel, don’t use the site.

[dreamy siren]

Well I haven't seen any examples of that happening but I have seen the hope chess happen so...

[grim edge]

i suprised myself when i saw knight g4 was best move ngl

[sleek zealot]

we never said all moves deserve the brilliants they are given dude ur really not getting this

[grim edge]

Really

[tropic plaza]

Third day streak of a brilliant move argument

[marsh cliff]

if you think chesscom is this psychopathic entity that uses brilliancies to scam patzers into playing more and losing, sincerely, you should have a problem using the app

[grim edge]

Mustve been fun

[dreamy siren]

Well I've been using it less because I do feel a bit icky using it knowing the damage it has caused the chess youth tbh.

[mild nest]

you guys refuse to acknowledge that brilliant moves are overused and worthless and keep saying "just let people enjoy their brilliant moves"

[dreamy siren]

Bruh it's not that serious like chill

[marsh cliff]

stop using it entirely if the “scam” makes you so uncomfortable lol

[mild nest]

and this is where starky is wrong, it does not cause much harm

[grim edge]

Ive heard some people parachute from mountains once they teach the peak

Did u do that before?

[marsh cliff]

youre the one that created this whole consipracy about it lol

[sleek zealot]

i'm willing to acknowledge they are overused - not worthless

[dreamy siren]

I never said it was anywhere near that serious that I'd go that far

[marsh cliff]

simply don’t use game review or don’t use the app

[dreamy siren]

You're overexaggerating my perspective with what you just said though

[grim edge]

How much do they even ckst

[mild nest]

chess.com is a greedy company that uses brilliants as a way to make u want to use the site more by giving u a false sense of accomplishment

[sleek zealot]

i sent you a game invite also its spelled maroczy

[marsh cliff]

what you wrote in the images about them beinf remorseless disproves this easily

[grim edge]

Can u rent them

[marsh cliff]

then go to lichess

[dreamy siren]

I think some people it does more than others.

[marsh cliff]

if you do not agree with the ethics of the app, use another one

[mild nest]

i personally dont care as much as starky so i have no problem using chesscom

[dreamy siren]

Tbh I made that months ago I probably find it less serious now having thought about it more. That's probably why.

[marsh cliff]

then it doesn’t have much weight as an argument for you to use

[grim edge]

i never saw it in my life i just played since i thought to myself nothing bad can happen from this move since i couldnt cauclate any move for my opponent that would but me at a disadvantage

[mild nest]

thats going to be true, its going to cause some people no harm at all, and for others in can cause somewhat significant problems although it will probably be very rare

[dreamy siren]

Anyways I really need to stop at this point. I'm done talking about this for now.

[mild nest]

why?

[marsh cliff]

irrelevant, you posted it, you still have the same ideas even if less extreme

[grim edge]

Oh that was about what i expected still a bit expensive

@grim edge i still dont know wether i should play sicllian or caro kann in otb

[marsh cliff]

because if you don’t care you clearly don’t believe in the point

[grim edge]

You think that would stop anyone fom trying

[marsh cliff]

caro kann in games you don’t exactly need to win, sicillian in must win situations

[keen marlin]

'Rare'. Literally everyone who bought premium because of the brilliant moves:

[marsh cliff]

if the debate is a matter of personal opinion, it definitely is

[mild nest]

? i said i partly believe in his point. I think brilliants are given too easily and are worthless but i dont think they cause much harm

[grim edge]

Without training?

[marsh cliff]

don’t push an agenda you don’t believe in out of stubborness

[grim edge]

wanna see a game i played sicllian in ? and you tell me ur opinion ?

[mild nest]

thats why chess.com wont change it, they are greedy and i cant blame them

[digital phoenix]

average 400 elo chat

[marsh cliff]

brilliants are worthless relative to strength. they incentivize analysis and creative play in beginners and can be disregarded by more advanced players

[mild nest]

and im 500 elo 😄

[grim edge]

Play the creepy crawler i stead

[digital phoenix]

same thing

[keen marlin]

It's always like that

[digital phoenix]

yeah cos theyres always 400s

[mild nest]

😦 how dare u mix me a 500 up with those 400s

[marsh cliff]

im 450 do i count

[keen marlin]

500s blunder like 5% less

[grim edge]

I am 100 elo dawg

[digital phoenix]

same thing

[grim edge]

Dont do me like that

[marsh cliff]

is there much of a difference between 100-500 elo

[grim edge]

Everyone knows the lower the elo the better

[mild nest]

no, the standard for a brilliant should be the same at all levels or it isnt a brilliant move is it?

then its just a basic tactic that a 900 found

[marsh cliff]

the algorithm is relative to elo

[grim edge]

[grim edge]

You could climb from 100-500 using scholar mate

[mild nest]

not saying it isnt, im saying it shouldnt be

[grim edge]

it was transpose

[keen marlin]

I'd say that 500s know alot more foundation work than 100s but the problem of simple blunders remain

I don't agree

[marsh cliff]

i disagree because i think that giving brilliant moves more easily to lower rated players incentivizes play, encourages analysis and this ultimately leads to improvement

[grim edge]

Did u try to play a modern or what

[keen marlin]

London dragon is good

[marsh cliff]

high rated players grew up and were beginners before the online era usually, so they don’t see the point

[grim edge]

Funnily enough yes

[mild nest]

make a different type of move then, dont take the worth out of brilliant

[marsh cliff]

anyone low rated who has climbed the ranks will tell you they felt encouraged at least somewhat by ! And !! Moves

[mild nest]

im 2200 and i got a brilliant move for sacrificing a queen for back rank mate

the algorithm is terrible it took me .1 seconds to spot the move

[keen marlin]

Until 1000 puzzles have the exact same 'genius' moves

[marsh cliff]

what are they supposed to do? a brilliant move by definition is a move that sacrifices material

[mild nest]

a brilliant move is not one u spot in .1 seconds or even 1 second

[mild nest]

it should be difficult to see

[marsh cliff]

not really

[grim edge]

it is i saw it get played by a GM once altough i forgot the game but i remember the ideas

[mild nest]

and in not an obvious mate in 3 that even a 1200 could find

[mild nest]

yes really

[marsh cliff]

you can have an instinct in bullet, have it be correct and analyse and see its brilliant

[mild nest]

then you didnt see the move, u guessed

[marsh cliff]

it teaches you to trust your intuition as well as encourages you to analyse games

[mild nest]

finding a brilliant and guessing a brilliant are different, also why bring up bullet?

[marsh cliff]

even if the argument that brilliancies harm improvement somehwhat held weight, the benefits of them outweigh any negative

[keen marlin]

Encourages you to spend 100 a year on premium

[mild nest]

trusting intuition that randomely gives up material?

[marsh cliff]

not what i said

[grim edge]

Dragon is the sicllian i can play best at my level im still not advanced enough for ones like the french sicllian or the najdorf sicllian maybe next year but i would not peform as good with them like i am currently

[mild nest]

i think there are minimal benefits and minimal harm, my point is it ruins the value of a brilliant move

[marsh cliff]

shouldnt white never let ng4 happen in modern systems

[mild nest]

when i get a brilliant move i want to be excited to show it off, rn if i told someone i got a brilliant move they wouldnt even blink an eye since i couldve done a basic back rank mate to get the brilliant move

[marsh cliff]

there are moderate benefits and extremely minimal harm. if youre 2200, acknowledge the algorithm isn’t perfect when it gives you a brilliant and move on

to a 900 that feels good and they are proud of that tactic

[mild nest]

not only is the algorithm not perfect, it is flawed in its entirety

[keen marlin]

And pride encourages you to spend 100 a year on premium

[mild nest]

and thats harmful, people shouldnt feel good about finding basic tactics

[grim edge]

white was being rash with g4 and he didnt realize he allowed ng4 since at my level he probably just thought that square was covered by a pawn

sounds fair but najdorf is incredibly complicated ngl ill try to learn it one day

[potent merlin]

What happened with the clash royale channel?

[marsh cliff]

why? it helps them recognize patterns for future games, because theyre looking for potential sacrifices. it helps with confidence

there’s literally no downside to feeling good about a “basic” tactix

[mild nest]

makes u think ur improving at a faster rate than u are

[grim edge]

i dont have a coach

[kind geyser]

I play like 90% accurarcy in one match and 75% on the other :d is it normal

[marsh cliff]

just let people have fun and enjoy their chess journey rather than whining about extremely minimal or non existent bad things

[mild nest]

brilliant move makes someone think they r a genius

[keen marlin]

Unless you spend 100 a year on useless premium

[marsh cliff]

no, it absolutely doesnt

[grim edge]

[marsh cliff]

there is no basis for that at all. it just makes you frel good about improvements you HAVE made

[mild nest]

it really does

[grim edge]

ill def have it in my notes then

[marsh cliff]

i have nothing more to say because you will never change your mind and i cannot be arsed talking to you

goodnight

[mild nest]

just EXTREMELY theoretical

[grim edge]

freak attack is freaky

[keen marlin]

Well the London is very theoretical but also really easy to play

[grim edge]

[mild nest]

not really

[keen marlin]

For which

[mild nest]

u learn the setup and then learn like 2 lines of theory

no way he said london is very theoretical

[keen marlin]

Half of it is mirroring the opponent. Like playing the guiocco 4 knights

[sleek zealot]

can you check dms

[grim edge]

i feel like sicllian would probably be something people have already preped for and faced

ill try both but ill start with caro

if it goes bad ill play sicllian

[mild nest]

?

lmao who r these random 500s tho

[digital phoenix]

yes like goldman

god tier counter

[grim edge]

goldman is soo goofy kekw

[mild nest]

bro wants him to get obliterated

[digital phoenix]

fms shivering in their socks when i play qf3

[tropic plaza]

Not really

[half ermine]

som1 wanna play chess*

[mild nest]

its legit a draw if black plays 40 engines moves in a row

no

like for example ur najdorf doesnt work against me

[grim edge]

its been 7 almost 8 months of playing chess im not superhuman bong

[tropic plaza]

No opening is a free win

[mild nest]

i just go 1.D4 and no more najdorf

[digital phoenix]

did u not learn sicilian

[nova verge]

Hi how r u

[half ermine]

som1 wanna play

[tropic plaza]

[hasty iris]

connect account

[half ermine]

taiishi

is my id

[keen marlin]

Unless your going against 400s that don't understand the opening you studied for less than 30 minutes

[mild nest]

c4 i play catalan

[tropic plaza]

Then ive been playing najdorf wrong since after 8-10 moves of najdorf theory i still lose

[mild nest]

nf3

[grim edge]

i did sicllian, caro kann and alekhine is the 3 openings i can play best

although i know caro most for now

[mild nest]

i thought ud go c5

just g3

[half ermine]

add me

its taiishi in chess.com

[tropic plaza]

So it does mean its not a free win since its about the player who plays it not the opening

[dreamy siren]

That's lying as a marketing strategy I don't agree. (Ahhh why did I come back!)

[chrome veldt]

im 900 and im hitting a bit of a wall and I think it might be because I have very limited opening knowledge, what openings do you guys think I should learn?

[mild nest]

id probably think a bit but bg2 seems good

[green jungle]

Because once ur out of theory you have to play chess still

[marsh cliff]

I don’t want to continue a wholly pointless conversation

[mild nest]

dont i have ne4

[grim edge]

ill start with it and ill keep playing it until i lose with it

[potent merlin]

Openings are overrated in 3 digit elo

[tropic plaza]

Thats what every opening do tho?

[mild nest]

then nxc4 no?

[primal shore]

I just vomited

[keen marlin]

That's me when I play caro

[grim edge]

W and Real

[daring scarab]

yo is anyone excited for the perseid

[dreamy siren]

I dont either but the temptation is strong ughh

[grim edge]

[keen marlin]

Also because it's the only response to e4 I truely studied

[mild nest]

interesting

[grim edge]

first place prize is 5000kr which is cool ig

[chrome veldt]

rn all I do is scotch as white and just wing it as black

[mild nest]

stockfish wants nc3 after a6

but that lets u go into qgd with a6

[digital phoenix]

alekhine is shit

[mild nest]

and u avoid the catalan

[potent merlin]

That's okay, idek what Wing is

[grim edge]

@grim edge i heard ur a reti player now

[green jungle]

Yeah which is why theory can give u an advantage, but it’s recommended to not focus too much on openings

[green jungle]

Ur shit

[keen marlin]

A birds opening variation

[mild nest]

id probably play it if i wasnt learning the dutch

[chrome veldt]

I wing it, like I just go with the flow do whatever

[tropic plaza]

Ig sometimes theory is needed since a few of my games my opponent played the wrong move on the 14th move

[potent merlin]

Oh I thought it's an opening name☠️

[rose thunder]

that pfp 💀

[tropic plaza]

Like bb6 in the marshal attack

[grim edge]

I know i only play it against titled players in blitz, i learned it from studying some magnus games with it i only got to play it once against a titled player he was an IM i survied 60 moves and at some part of the game i had a winning advantge

[mild nest]

as a catalan player that would piss me off

[nova verge]

Hi my name is Bailey

Nice to meet all of you

[green jungle]

Yeah but most mistakes in theory can be made up for with good tactical vision while missing tactical vision can’t be compensated for with memorizing opening theory

[fringe pond]

My Accuracy went too low what the f is happening

[keen marlin]

Hello

[mild nest]

leningrad, im bored of drawing a bunch as black since i already play the caro

[grim edge]

I love the catalan but damn its alot of theory

[primal shore]

You probably pronounce it "ala-kines"

[chrome veldt]

5*

[green jungle]

Personal attack

[mild nest]

worth it tho since its so deadly

[potent merlin]

@chrome veldt btw if you need opening theory it's probably better to study it more for black

[hasty iris]

@half ermine how did u find this 6 move combo as a 900

[keen marlin]

I haven't studied it yet. It'll probably be the next one I try

[tropic plaza]

Yeah, i guess its about the vision, skill and memory of a player

[mossy comet]

Lets go golfing!

[mild nest]

idk man

[mossy comet]

Lets go golfing!

[grim edge]

i could send you a playlist of catalan videos if you would want

[grim edge]

W GRASS SEASON

[keen marlin]

Uh ok sure

[chrome veldt]

but what tho? I try the kings indian but it always feels unnatural and weird

[keen marlin]

But who needs grass when you play chess

[potent merlin]

Wing is an opening actually so I'm not trippin. For white tho 😆

[grim edge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0mAzxJRHpk&list=PLssNbVBYrGcBwWsSqwig0dAymsPQd0dzy&ab_channel=HangingPawns

[tropic plaza]

Maybe nimzo

[keen marlin]

I can't watch rn but I'll save it

[mild nest]

why? i like him

is it bc he isnt that good at the game

[grim edge]

is he? idk he seems fine

[digital phoenix]

claiming win moment

[mild nest]

he is like 22-2300 level cc which is good

[sleek zealot]

they be increasing the wikipedia page count like this now 😭🔥

[mild nest]

but maybe not good enough for u

[tropic plaza]

Hanging pawns is fine when opening theory

[mild nest]

agreed

[tropic plaza]

Thats where i learned spanish

[grim edge]

Please learn the reti english its very fun

[sleek zealot]

ur like my friend.. and then he loses to a kid setup

[mild nest]

ive watched most of his catalan series and i have only found 1 mistake

he likes qa4+ in the c5 catalan

[grim edge]

AYYYY come on pixel have some faith in me

[mild nest]

when 0-0 is theory

[keen marlin]

Me when I play a kings Indian with d4 and make it a london

[fringe pond]

MY ACCURACY WENT TO 70+ TO A MERE 36+

[hasty iris]

@half ermine come back and explain this move

[keen marlin]

?

[mild nest]

he tells you the theory correctly though

[fringe pond]

[mild nest]

and thats good enough for me

[grim edge]

ok what otb rating would you say i currently cant beat

[mild nest]

my dutch theory is like non existent atm

[grim edge]

iyo

[mild nest]

all i know is the leningrad setup

so after d4 f5 c4 id go nf6

[digital phoenix]

what is that how it works

[mild nest]

then ud fianchetto with nf3 probably

and wed go into the leningrad dutch

[digital phoenix]

i got black first game as rated

[mild nest]

that i will agree on

[spark apex]

yeah

[mild nest]

its so annoying when he doesnt include the correct response for white after a very natural move for black

[spark apex]

honestly i should open a youtube channel with the same premise and me knowing nothing because i have like twice the credentials

[mild nest]

g3

[grim edge]

@grim edge sheesh man thats you fr its even a cat

[spark apex]

free money

[mild nest]

he is qualified enough to teach them to 15-1800s

ok i looked at stockfish i just lose

but as i said i dont have prep for dutch yet

so i aint gonna be playing it in uscf tournaments any time soon

[grim edge]

[mild nest]

and my catalan isnt ready either

[lucid nacelle]

I googled and cant find all the schedule and charts. who wins who

[mild nest]

since i havent memorized every response

[lucid nacelle]

where is the charts of matches

[digital phoenix]

i lost one game last tournament and of all things it was against bird

[lucid nacelle]

how many played in round 1?

[grim edge]

Ouch

[mild nest]

there are ways to make it less threatening like delaying g6

[grim edge]

I swear i am good at the game

[half ermine]

im smurf

[grim edge]

I no hitted child of kos once

DAMN THIS CURSED BIRD OPENING I HATE IT

[grim edge]

One of these days imma beat ur ass with the bird

hi all :3

[mild nest]

i saw its not deadlost but practically very difficult to play especially as a new dutch player

i disagree

[digital phoenix]

i can beat u with bongcloud

[grim edge]

i have 100% completion in 1 week i think the dungons achivments were the biggest pain to human kind

[grim edge]

I know

[mild nest]

stockfish just wants to fianchetto the light squared bishop after ur nc3

so not a leningrad dutch

[grim edge]

What

Classical Sicilian is very cool

[grim edge]

Theres too many variations in the sicilian

[proper bronze]

[twin moon]

Notation?

For the Africa system

[feral hollow]

is bird opening good

[grim edge]

bro there was zero chance i would ever find bishop a3☠️

I think it’s still d4 d5. More or less just the London as black

[twin moon]

I would say yes, but a large majority of players got no idea what they are doing

[feral hollow]

see I knew he was wrong

[twin moon]

Got it

Granted I have roughly… 1300 games with it, so I do generally have an advantage regardless of the side it is on, but still

[feral hollow]

most normal engine move

[digital phoenix]

[grim edge]

[digital phoenix]

[twin moon]

[feral hollow]

[twin moon]

[regal pasture]

anyone wanna play chess?

[grim edge]

i did play b5 thinking im a genius then engine tell me im idiot

[twin moon]

I just hate e4 e5 positions

[feral hollow]

engine ruined chess change my mind

[twin moon]

I do like Ba3 tho, ruins the queenside pawn structure and trades your pad piece for their knight

[feral hollow]

I always found e4/e5 positions boring too tbh

[regal pasture]

wanna play chess?

[grim edge]

[twin moon]

Que pasa

[regal pasture]

[twin moon]

Pass

[grim edge]

i understand the idea its a incredible move im just saying that seeing it in a blitz game is way too hard

[twin moon]

I’m on my rest day

[feral hollow]

magnus carleson wouldnt have seen that move ( or he might in classical )

[twin moon]

Oh ofc, I got no blame for you. That’s a type of move only Nakamura would see

[grim edge]

wait why that reply lmao

anyways true its hard to see

[twin moon]

I think they could see it mainly due to the amount of logic behind it, and all the hidden incentives

[rose thunder]

zax I need u to try the African system

[twin moon]

Bad piece, good piece, pawn structure all in one

[feral hollow]

seriously tho doesnt rook b1 stop everything?

NO WAY IM SO STUPID

[twin moon]

Wait nvm that bishop isn’t bad, idk why I thought it was blocked in
