[grim edge]

fr

[neon musk]

In terms of educational value, I'd recommend Naroditsky

[grim edge]

he blundered a pawn he sucks

[upbeat viper]

+1

[lime lava]

Most common moves are d5/e6 or Nf6

[grim edge]

[astral copper]

hi all

[grim edge]

https://tenor.com/view/persona5-persona-ryuji-for-real-gif-24281518

[last verge]

you can play d5 and try to transpose to a main line alapin

[grim edge]

I hate alapin

[astral copper]

alapin but worse fr

[last verge]

the weird vienna draw wiht e4 e5 Nc3 Bc5 Na4 Bxf2+

[last verge]

its a good challenge for both sides

[astral copper]

fr

[astral copper]

I love alapin

I used to hate sicillian fr

[grim edge]

I love Sicilian

I just hate alapin

[lament hatch]

Nf6

[astral copper]

I play a french as black against e4

[keen parrot]

alapin is the best antidote against the sicilian

[astral copper]

fr

[last verge]

black can challenge it pretty easily

[astral copper]

[last verge]

equalish out of the opening

[astral copper]

how fr?

[astral copper]

at least white gets the center

[last verge]

one of two main moves against it and then you play and develop

[drowsy echo]

anyone wanna play 3min unrated?

[astral copper]

sure

[drowsy echo]

https://play.chess.com/2MfDt

[velvet latch]

Me too

[muted stirrup]

Yeah correct

[velvet latch]

Guys who here is 1500 Elo Plus

[drowsy echo]

hmm

[muted stirrup]

But when was the game played and what were the players?

[steep widget]

G

[astral copper]

I am xd

[umbral frigate]

I have an OTB blitz tournament next Saturday 5+3. I am 1300 FIDE, 1420 chess.com. I struggle with Black pieces. I usually play only caro kann or QGD. I dont like openings like: 1. e4 e5 or 1. e4 d5. Any opening recommendations?

[velvet latch]

Hey can you dm me please

[last verge]

the caro kann is pretty good nothing wrong with it

[astral copper]

never be that aggresive

I was planning it too

I premoved take back xd

[umbral frigate]

I want to expand my repertoire tho

[astral copper]

french is good

[drowsy echo]

ya but i play chess for fun

[astral copper]

I always come out of the opening equal or better

even if I have no theroy

[drowsy echo]

i don't like to play being defensive all the day

[astral copper]

theory

[umbral frigate]

Thanks.

[timid wren]

world cup semis are tomorrow??

[drowsy echo]

theory is soo confusing

[last verge]

against e4 you can also try out the french or the modern, i personally don't prefer either but both can offer white some resistance. against d4 i've been a longstanding fan of Nf6 + e6 or g6

fair point

but he didn't say he struggled necessarily with the caro just with black

[drowsy echo]

caro is just the begining

but when u play it against < 1500

[umbral frigate]

I have some pretty good results with caro, not with Sicilian tho

[last verge]

honestly at the 1400 level as long as the opening doesn't immediately create a losing disadvantage you can play whatever

[frigid field]

Anyone tired of falling for tricks in chess?

[last verge]

i bought a tournament chess set and didn't realize i already have a board and pieces

[drowsy echo]

can u show me some tricks for 1600 rated players

[keen parrot]

im 3/3 on the rapid portion in the stockholm open

[cursive blaze]

this may or may not get me banned but they forgot about mr.adolf you-know-who in the artists section smh smh

[grim edge]

When can I start playing in tournaments

[swift panther]

And How is that relevant

[grim edge]

I wanna play in a tournament so bad but I’m not good enough yet

What rating can I start?

[boreal cosmos]

0

[cursive blaze]

tbh ur right it's not

[grim edge]

Wdym

[boreal cosmos]

no min elo to play otb

[grim edge]

Ya but when will I have a chance at winning a game?

[frigid field]

are you kidding me man? Thats nothing. In fact talking about the german grass used to be more ban worthy

[boreal cosmos]

that question...

[frigid field]

Super tall german grass

[sharp rapids]

Yoooo i just hit 900 eloo now 🗿🔥

[keen parrot]

[grim edge]

Good job

[sharp rapids]

Thnkuuuuu

[frigid field]

sasuke on crack, gg.

[manic mirage]

Guys who’s ligma

[sharp rapids]

Ma mann 👌

[keen parrot]

it usually doesnt transpose

but i dont mind this position

[grim edge]

I’m watching an anime that’s making me cry every 50 episodes or so

And I don’t like it

[cursive blaze]

noice

[sharp rapids]

Thnkkk youuu 🫂

[grim edge]

I can’t wait to hit 1300

[cursive blaze]

bro why does the bot only count blitz

[frigid field]

what about this position?

[sharp rapids]

I cant wait to hit 1000now

[cursive blaze]

my blitz rating is dogcrap but my rapid rating is at least ok

[grim edge]

time management

I only used an average of 3 minutes every 10 minute game

until I didn’t and become 1000

[daring oyster]

what is this called shogi? shogu?

[sharp galleon]

pretty sure it is more or less equal through my trash evaluation in Shogi

[frigid field]

shogi fs.

[sharp galleon]

Shogi it is

[sharp rapids]

Is it hard in 1000 ?

[grim edge]

no

[sharp rapids]

Good

[frigid field]

not a trash evaluation, pretty accurate actually!

[cursive blaze]

💀 wtf

[daring oyster]

IM SORRY BUT I DONT PLAY A GAME THAT NO ONE PLAYS

[grim edge]

I still see people blunder in games

1200s still hang stuff

[sharp galleon]

just so you know I’ve less than 5 games played in Shogi ever lmao

[frigid field]

Everyone in japan and a lot of people in russia play it 💀

[sharp rapids]

I think after 1600 u will not see blunder

[grim edge]

Key word see

[frigid field]

only thing is nobody like anywhere else plays it , hell im surprised someone here knew the game existed

[sharp rapids]

OR RARELY

[grim edge]

people blunder at 1600 too lol

[astral copper]

fr

[daring oyster]

chess is superior in players and generally

[sharp rapids]

Oh xd

[astral copper]

I do blunder and im 1700

[grim edge]

It’s probably just harder for us to see cause we’re lower rated

[thin magnet]

Yo

[sharp rapids]

Yoo

[astral copper]

a 2700 blundered aganist me in blitz fr

[sharp rapids]

Oh 💀

[sharp rapids]

😂

[thin magnet]

I'm 1100 my username is Ozudd, does anyone wanna play me?

[astral copper]

it was on lichess

[frigid field]

im sure if these damn pieces werent chinese maybe there would be more of a player community around it

[daring oyster]

nope even if its translated chess is just superior

[hoary tundra]

what's flair

[sharp rapids]

Frindly mach iam ready

[daring oyster]

[frigid field]

the position was +5 for white and I won in the end as black through flag

[sharp galleon]

But it is only the result that matters so I don't care lmao

[restive storm]

Pgn of opening pls

My hands are shaking lmao

[nova verge]

hello!

[velvet latch]

Hello

[sharp galleon]

already in Stockholm?

[keen parrot]

yep

got 3/3 in the rapid portion

now time for 2 classical games on saturday and 2 on sunday

[sharp galleon]

I see

Norway chess Open is a bigger competition

it has like 9 Classical games

[keen parrot]

i mean yeah the player list isnt that strong

[sharp galleon]

or was it 10, I forgot

[keen parrot]

its a weekend tournament after all

[sharp galleon]

considering you’re playing against potentially the top seed of the tournament that is an IM, I’ll say the players are relatively strong

at least better than my 1389 classical rating

[keen parrot]

yeah there are 3 strong IMs (2400+), one washed GM and one washed IM, and then plenty of more young players that are underrated

[restive storm]

Moment

[sharp galleon]

I wouldn’t call that the players aren’t that strong 💀

[grim edge]

how did bro already get locked out💀

[restive storm]

Classical chess is so different

[spark apex]

HOLY SHIT

I got this in a Rapid game against a 2500 rated FM

[rare furnace]

Mom might have cancer bye

[grim edge]

what a move dubs!

[sharp galleon]

if he takes you just win with Bg3 Bg4 lol

[spark apex]

there's nf3, not so easy

[sharp galleon]

you rob the man’s pawns

[spark apex]

I eventually won the game but he was even better at some point

[rare furnace]

Okay nvm

[spark apex]

his pawn center is too strong

[sharp galleon]

only the result matter so who cares

[sharp galleon]

my chess psychology in a nutshell

[grim edge]

huh

[sharp galleon]

moment moment

[grim edge]

soooooo how is the weather

[spark apex]

[keen parrot]

[kindred dawn]

bishop takes protected by pawn

OH I COUNTED WRONG

[keen parrot]

Oh yeah i know that i just remembered that hikaru played a kings gambit against magnus recently and btw nepo did a course on the KG called long live the KG, may i ask you since you dont use courses how do you learn your theory ?

[keen parrot]

chessbase

i also have a book on the KG but its a bit outdated

so i just look thru the lines with a modern engine and see what holds up

[grim edge]

am i so stone aged because i dont know what that is

[hushed shuttle]

u cringe

[grim edge]

i think the kings gambit course is of a much higher value from the samples i saw

STORM!!!!

[queen mortar]

Imagine being such a nerd that instead of playing chess you even chat about it on your free time

[grim edge]

i played on mobile in some random hallway

[latent pebble]

The betrayal lore would be crazy

[grim edge]

shiz is fine

nah i blame it on me being bored af

[queen mortar]

Now for a serious question, how good do I have to be to earn money

Then why

[latent pebble]

How is chess stressful

Is it all you do

[river ledge]

+2100 You will start to earn something but not to support your life

[grim edge]

i cant believe i use to coach 40 people

[river ledge]

Yes that can also be

[grim edge]

[queen mortar]

Interesting, so I get to about 2100 and then destroy children in tournaments to earn prize money

[grim edge]

i dont know what you expect for free lol

[river ledge]

I am also a coach, I do not want to advertise myself but since they mention it 😄

[grim edge]

[grim edge]

awesome to hear friend

[river ledge]

[grim edge]

lol i got this video too its the one where she does oppoiste everything

[queen mortar]

About 4 months ago I got invited to teach chess to my town hall. I refused cause I suck

[keen parrot]

closeted = yet to come out of the closet

[grim edge]

odds of alice return?

[queen mortar]

If it makes you feel better I've watched this video too

[queen mortar]

I was like 1000 back then. I was too scared to mess up. Being a chess teacher can be stressful

[keen parrot]

i mean how far are you

[grim edge]

[keen parrot]

oh rip

[grim edge]

but i aint driving at 12 pm lol

[latent pebble]

Otb match when

[keen parrot]

i would go down to the 7/11 again but the guy saw my face

[queen mortar]

Probably kids and teenagers

I would probably be wrong most of the time cause I'm only 1200

[grim edge]

why is someone seeing ur face a problem

[keen parrot]

fair point, ill go down to get something

what should i get chat

im thinking some nuts

[grim edge]

[keen parrot]

nah lays is mid

[grim edge]

[keen parrot]

[queen mortar]

@grim edge do you have any public games made on unity?

Show

[grim edge]

[queen mortar]

In my house, pants and underwear are optional

2889 elo

@upbeat viper what are you up to? you gonna pull up like some anime villian and make us fight you

In candidates

Elo is such a gay system for chess

[grim edge]

like please just dont send these gifs

It’s flawed🤑

[regal lynx]

true

[grim edge]

make a better system then

it may be flawed but its the best out of more flawed options

This server is so nerdy I just saw a MF say 1000 elo is beginner level

[grim edge]

it is

Reddit mfs with elitist complex fr

[queen mortar]

I'll be honest, I looked for a Monty python gif of the knights who say ni and I thought this was close enough without realizing that it's just N word meme

[grim edge]

Dawg you learn all the rules of chess by 500 elo are you dumb or something

🤣 you don’t play well but you know the rules

[queen mortar]

Ain't it?

[grim edge]

Why do you believe what they tell you think for yourself

[grim edge]

knowing the rules makes you a beginner then?

what have i said wrong

[queen mortar]

I'd say till like 1600 it's beginner

[grim edge]

500 elo is beginner level 1000 elo means intermediate 🤣

[grim edge]

Dawg wtf are you even on explain your thinking

[grim edge]

i dont think so at all

[mossy comet]

chocolate oranj

[grim edge]

ill say anything below 1200 is a beginner in chess

1200 to 1800 is what i would call intermediate

[queen mortar]

I play chess for only 4 months, I'm 1200. Pretty sure I'm a beginner

[grim edge]

Honestly if you study chess and watch games but rarely play rated games and are 1000 you definitely shouldn’t be in the beginner group

[grim edge]

What did you start at online

[grim edge]

Explain your thinking buddy

[queen mortar]

4 months ago I didn't know how to move the pieces

I started on chess com

[grim edge]

No I meant which elo did you start at

[mossy comet]

what

[grim edge]

100 or 400 or 800 what

[queen mortar]

I was like 400

i play 2+1 bullet chess because its like blitz

[grim edge]

You gotta start at 100 elo dawg

[queen mortar]

Bro

[grim edge]

Same I’ve been playing 2+1 for a few weeks now it’s ok ig

Fun

[queen mortar]

What can a 1200 learn from people below 300

[grim edge]

when did you start playing chess

[little elm]

2+1 is bullet for old people

you should not be playing that unless you are really slow

[grim edge]

I’m not below 300 and when you start from chess.com at new to game (100 elo ) you lean more buddy why start at 400

[little elm]

whole point of bullet is that it is fast

[grim edge]

im 2k ive gone through everything below 2k to reach 2k so im giving my opinion

[grim edge]

2+1 has alot more cheaters

[little elm]

that seems likely as well

[green jungle]

Hi giving my opinion I’m cirrin

[queen mortar]

Idk, I just started like that, maybe at some point I got even lower. Now days I get better by fighting higher rated players like 2000 to improve

[grim edge]

Hi cirrin im a stellaris ghost

[little elm]

also no one above like 2200 plays 2+1, don’t think I could find an opponent

[green jungle]

No you’re not

Idot

[grim edge]

now i am boom shakalaka

[keen parrot]

who the hell plays 2+1

[grim edge]

2000 elitist who’s definitely not even fide rated thinking he’s a Damn grandmaster in a discord server what a loser

[grim edge]

when did i say that💀

[keen parrot]

(he is also probably cheating)

[green jungle]

@ mods cheating accusation !!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

[keen parrot]

idk man dude got 2k in 7 months without even joining a chess club

[queen mortar]

He is better than 99% of chess players so I would dis

[grim edge]

im not cheating

[keen parrot]

im just sayin, he is either the second coming of magnus or he is cheating

[green jungle]

Hi not cheating I’m cirrin

[little elm]

from learning rules to 2000 in 7 months is insane

[keen parrot]

hi cirrin im dad

[queen mortar]

Who did

[grim edge]

wait so you actually think my progress is impressive assuming im not a cheater right?

[green jungle]

No you’re not idot

[keen parrot]

yes, but thats a very big leap of faith

[keen parrot]

shut up i will adopt you

[green jungle]

No you won’t nerd

a challenge dodged is a challenge won for me

[keen parrot]

rapid ofc

[queen mortar]

Adopt me and teach me the ways of chess

[simple rose]

You finally play English

Yes

[grim edge]

atleast ya got the chips

[green jungle]

What was that? Must have been the wind

[upbeat viper]

wait

[queen mortar]

I don't understand why people love bullet, in my opinion it's not fun cause you don't even get to think. It's just react as fast as possible and nobody almost ever gets to mate because of time control

[upbeat viper]

Zax

[grim edge]

thats my name yeesh

[upbeat viper]

you don't play Qd4 mainline in your anti fantasy line ?

[green jungle]

It’s fun because you don’t have to think

[upbeat viper]

._.

[grim edge]

tf is the anti fantasy line

[queen mortar]

I don't like the idea of not thinking in chess

[still pilot]

I finish a 12hour shift

[keen parrot]

@upbeat viper im playing a 2450 IM tmrw, will be playing the KG instead of the scotch gambit

[queen mortar]

Then close discord and do something actually not boring

[keen parrot]

if he plays e5 that is

[upbeat viper]

[simple rose]

Caro Kann Lobron system when? @grim edge

[still pilot]

Work endless hours and no complain. Continue in the pursuit of his goals

[upbeat viper]

why would you abandon our sweet scotch gambit

[little elm]

go prep or something

[upbeat viper]

D:

[keen parrot]

he has won all 3 games in which he has faced the scotch gambit

and thats against 2400s

[upbeat viper]

oh

[grim edge]

@upbeat viper ur talking about this line?

[upbeat viper]

noway to out prep him

[still pilot]

I'm on the way home I have nothing else to do

[upbeat viper]

?

[grim edge]

i cant imagine notations yet

im still learning

[upbeat viper]

not the correct move order but yes ?

[still pilot]

I'm 16 years old and I'm working more than full time

[keen parrot]

and is 2k, right

[queen mortar]

I would never play kings gambit against a strong player, good luck

[still pilot]

I'm essentially doing a full time job and a part time job with these hohrs

[queen mortar]

Music

[lime lava]

[grim edge]

ikr

[little elm]

2000 doesn’t know notation

[keen parrot]

eh im comfortable in the mess that is the Quaade, and if he simplifies i just get an equal position

[lime lava]

2000 doesnt know how to mate with a rook

[grim edge]

hollup what

[keen parrot]

2400 doesnt know how to mate with a woman

[grim edge]

💀

wait what are u guys talking about

[still pilot]

But I'm built different.

[lime lava]

chess

[keen parrot]

oh

[grim edge]

i play this order always its silly enough

[still pilot]

Wearing earphones and stuff like that makes you a target

[upbeat viper]

no

[keen parrot]

what the hell is blud on about

[queen mortar]

2 days ago instead of sleeping I learned about 7 variations of king's gambit. 10 hours I'll never get back

[still pilot]

Your an easier target

[grim edge]

i dont?

[upbeat viper]

no white will play d4 on the last move

[keen parrot]

i was wearing earphones at 11pm in a major city, should i have been scared?

[upbeat viper]

e4 c6 d4 d5 f3 e5 de Bc5 Nc3 Qb6 Na5 Bf2+ etc

[hushed fulcrum]

Is it possible that I can consistently beat someone who can beat my friend but I can’t beat my friend?

[queen mortar]

Stop listening to YouTube influencers. Just listen to music

[little elm]

unlikely but yes

[grim edge]

all i be trying is too pull off this trap and worse comes to worse im down a single pawn from some good activity

[upbeat viper]

that wasn't my point

you don't play Qd4 in the correct mainline

[primal fern]

Connect you’re account for trusted role

[upbeat viper]

like bruh

[still pilot]

I am running a marathon on the 22nd of August because I'm a G

And once I run this marathon I'll run a marathon every year so that when I'm older I can say Ive been running marathons since I was 16

[grim edge]

thats because i never learned the mainline lol

[queen mortar]

@upbeat viper question about the tournament, only top 3 earns premium. What if they already have premium?

[still pilot]

My bday is on 23rd August so the 22nd is the deadline

[primal fern]

Cool hey welcome to the server and plz connect ur account

[upbeat viper]

but but

bruh

[little elm]

bullet brawl is tomorrow?

[upbeat viper]

that's disappointing

[upbeat viper]

stack ig

not sure

[little elm]

how good were the top 3 last time

[queen mortar]

Wdym. They get their premium extended?

[queen mortar]

All above 2000

[little elm]

i would guess that

[queen mortar]

I played them all and they all kicked my butt

[little elm]

above 2500?

[queen mortar]

One of them was 2700,I was this close to draw him

[queen mortar]

I think it was like 2700, 2200 and 2000

[upbeat viper]

Yes, but I'm not 100% sure

[queen mortar]

Damn I could have won third place otherwise

[little elm]

do people smurf in those events

[queen mortar]

Sometimes

There's always these 700s who get top 10

[grim edge]

i have never learned the mainline yet my winrate with a not optimal opening proves how much theory isnt really needed unless your playing a very serious game all i have to do is just out play my opponent in other aspects

5 to 12

[queen mortar]

Today's event was actually pretty clean. No known cheaters and only like 1 smurf

[floral patrol]

so im currently playing online and all of a sudden, an ad appeared (the trencito in spanish), but it appeared on the board. i think i found a bug

[queen mortar]

Lol

[mossy comet]

LMAO I PREMOVED MATE

[still pilot]

No

[little elm]

looks doable

[grim edge]

whats this?

[little elm]

community bullet brawl last week

[still pilot]

Marathon on the 22nd and driving lessons on the 23rd

[floral patrol]

guys? i found a bug

[queen mortar]

What does it means unrated on the leaderboard

[still pilot]

So I get my driver's license as soon as I'm 17

[little elm]

dont really want to lose rating to smurfs though

[primal fern]

What do you do in chess

[mossy comet]

you could see how i premoved maye

[primal fern]

What are your chess goals @still pilot

[queen mortar]

The elevator

[little elm]

like #2 really looks like a smurf

[queen mortar]

M2

[little elm]

inactive account for over a year at 1800

[grim edge]

this is the position i win most of my games in, in this position i won 25 out of 32 games

as black

[queen mortar]

Is that alapin sicilian?

[green jungle]

Ok that explains a lot I was very confused for a moment

[little elm]

that high of a winrate from that?

[grim edge]

[grim edge]

its a line i memorized completely all the little detailes from master games to engine ideas

its mostly comes out of botvinnik caro when opponent handles the position like they are playing against a french

[warped vigil]

what line is that?

[grim edge]

just said it

[warped vigil]

I mean the exact moves

[mossy comet]

i lost by mate

[grim edge]

ofc

[grim edge]

the set up for white is innacurate

over time i learned how to take adv of it

[still pilot]

Chess at the end of the day is a meaningless game. It really is nothing but a waste of time, your not making any money from it, your not getting girls, your not really getting anything

[queen mortar]

If you good enough you could earn some cash

[grim edge]

i agree its one of the openings i truely think i mastered 1 line out of now if only i can do that for more lines, maybe in a few years

ofc its only 1 line

[primal fern]

With chess you challenge yourself with to always become better. The number of permutations of a chess game is around 10^120 and each one is unique. You’re getting a lot out of every single game

[grim edge]

i have no mastery of other lines atleast not anything close yet

[floral patrol]

yeah

[grim edge]

im still praying u reach 2k

[queen mortar]

@primal fern serious question, how often do you rename yourself on the server after your elo changes

[grim edge]

Good Luck Unity

[primal fern]

I havent done it in a while but i used to do it after every game

Rn I’m lik 1909

[queen mortar]

In October I will have my first OTB tournament as unranked. What opening should I learn to crush my enemies?

[primal fern]

it is just incentive for you to play more chess you don't gain anything from it. it is like the league from DuoLingo

[smoky pebble]

play less dubious gambits

[primal fern]

what's ur username

[mossy comet]

fell off the 200 zone and i would fall off a bridge

[floral patrol]

at least my rating has boosted
