[grim edge]

I wouldnt trust that number if i was you

You should have counted

Technically is the 1500th stair before or after the number

I think its really misleading

Like brillant moves…

[hasty iris]

@dreamy siren

[grim edge]

I would double count if I was you, can never be too sure!

I would imagine your head would smash against the stairs and you would die from concussions

Yes

[hard gyro]

Hey guys, it's been a while

Nice! :)

[grim edge]

[hard gyro]

You would think that rolling off the stairs would be so sudden that you wouldn't have time to think about using your hands.

Not nice. No hospitals nearby so I will probably bleed out.

If you say so.

[grim edge]

What about stairs

Stairs, count the stairs

You’re missing out on the fun part

[hard gyro]

Me after falling down the stairs, according to @grim edge

[hard gyro]

No wonder

Still crazy tho

[grim edge]

2200 😏

[silent spear]

my friend at school plays chess with me and he plays the Scotch, any good counter I should learn?

he's 700 Elo

[hard gyro]

Literally play any opening and wait for him to blunder.

[grim edge]

Play d4. It works me 😎

[silent spear]

alr

[hard gyro]

d4 works you

[grim edge]

That too

[silent spear]

any suggestions for openings that don't have him in a winning position

[grim edge]

Yeeee

[hard gyro]

@grim edge

[digital phoenix]

scotch is the most drawn opening

[grim edge]

Hmm, I usually recommend the Veresov for players rated below 1000 💀

But that's for white

[silent spear]

Veresov?

[digital phoenix]

tf is that

[grim edge]

For black-

I would say the Caro Kann

[silent spear]

imagine I did a caro kann and fianchetto my bishop

[grim edge]

This is the Richter-Veresov

Last time I checked anyways, idk why it just says veresov. But I think they're both considerd the Versesov 🤷‍♂️

[digital phoenix]

fun fact if ur below 1200 and learn openings ur still gonna suck

Exactly

[grim edge]

Yay, now u can bully the Chess Masters here

[stone crypt]

no wonder i got good using london

[digital phoenix]

a trash player using london is the funniest thing ever

literally on move 10 ur not even playing london

[hallow oar]

Yes you should have a repertoire but shouldn't go deep into theory because 90% of games will be lost because of blunders under 2000

[grim edge]

I don't know everything about the London...I just know how to play against it (maybe)

I try to attack the London with c5

[stone crypt]

since when n opening is terrible when its just moves pieces in a pattern with advantages and disadvantages

[digital phoenix]

dont like playing against london? play random shit cos they dont know how to play outside theory

bout as braindead as a 100 elo player

[grim edge]

Unless they're high rated 💀

As in over 2000 (probably)

[stone crypt]

if im taking chess seriously then i must get good at a opening to use and know hwo to counter when someone plays it and i chose london

[digital phoenix]

and whats ur rating

[grim edge]

u can always change it. But if it's working, then it works 🤷‍♂️

[stone crypt]

600 average

[digital phoenix]

hate to break it to u but thats shit

[stone crypt]

thank you and ok

[digital phoenix]

"taking chess seriously"

[stone crypt]

but im still playing chess and still winning

[grim edge]

When did u first start playing?

[stone crypt]

i forgot somewhere at july

[digital phoenix]

i can win with wayward queen does that make it good i suppose so

[grim edge]

everyone starts somewhere

[grim edge]

not bad

[boreal otter]

i hAVE LIgma

[stone crypt]

i started as 1600 as a beginner so uhm my elo went bankrupt and manage to keep 600 elo

[grim edge]

pretty good, you're still learning and it takes time

[digital phoenix]

ja

[grim edge]

Happens

[boreal otter]

hdf

[stone crypt]

👍

[stone crypt]

oh ok

[hallow oar]

There is no need to change your opening. if the London is working for you then stick with it. Even Grandmasters play the London.

[grim edge]

Hi

[boreal otter]

learn french

[digital phoenix]

ur not a gm dont compare to gm

[grim edge]

[boreal otter]

[stone crypt]

i used french before i used london

[boreal otter]

[grim edge]

French is good too

[digital phoenix]

when u say if gm can play it well so can u

[boreal otter]

now go back to french

[grim edge]

Yea, I love my french (I prefer the Caro way more tho)

[hallow oar]

So you're saying he should play unsound openings?

[stone crypt]

ye i won but i just use london but french and india if they dont comply with my london and make random moves that doesnt make sense but disables my london playing or smth so i play french sometimes

[boreal otter]

im 2500 and i play only french and reti

[stone crypt]

nice

[grim edge]

Reti is good too

[boreal otter]

i love reti man

underrated

[grim edge]

Yea, I think it's underrated. I won good games with it

[hallow oar]

What do you follow the reti with? KID or the English or the QD

[stone crypt]

maybe when i reach 1k elo ill use reti or advanced opening but im currently 600 so ill stick to london or indian or french until i get good

[boreal otter]

depends

what ur enemy plays

[grim edge]

Well, at 600 elo-1000 elo study tactics (puzzles).

They blunder a lot

[viscid jacinth]

Yo

[hallow oar]

Keep in mind the French can only be played by black

[boreal otter]

thats racist

[viscid jacinth]

lmao

[stone crypt]

ye i got 1.2k elo in puzzles and i just got 100 puzzles 2 weeks ago

[grim edge]

Unless they're cheating or sandbagging-

[grim edge]

good

[hallow oar]

Also analyse your games you'll find a lot of missed tactics

[stone crypt]

r daily puzzles suggested?

[grim edge]

GothamChess did a puzzle climb to 2000+

[stone crypt]

Is it just me or does nobody know how to counter the sveshnikov under 2200 fide

[boreal otter]

scince i go boxing my elo drops in chess i think im getting stupider

[grim edge]

When u start climbing as well, learn endgame theroy (such as pawn and rook endgames). It rlly helps

[stone crypt]

what ok but i use pc chess

[grim edge]

I wish I did it when I was a elo 1000

[hallow oar]

I want your opinion Fabian

[stone crypt]

oke ill try to imrpove that

[boreal otter]

bro what is sveshnikov

[grim edge]

Yee

[grim edge]

Play some games unrated and do puzzles

[hallow oar]

National master is not a Fide title

[grim edge]

That's okay, 1200 elo bots are annoying. They're good to practice against I think (try to aim for no blunders or mistakes when playing them)

[boreal otter]

In my country i have to go for IM in my country there is no NM

[grim edge]

It was like 2022?

[grim edge]

I'm thinking of Nd7 and trying to break open the center with c5 for future reference. I think those are good moves later on. I don't think u would want to play that rn since the knight on Nd4 might be being threatened. I haven't rlly looked through the postition well so I'm probably missing something (it's late for me).

[willow elm]

If its not on chess.com it prob got deleted

[grim edge]

U want to try to break the center open (tho there are times where u want to close it)

[torpid lintel]

You asked support team before that?

[willow elm]

Yeah i think

[torpid lintel]

Okay!

[hallow oar]

Is it just me or is e5 the worst thing you can do with black in Tournaments under 2000 Fide? You are literally letting everyone throw all their preparation at you

[dense ravine]

whats better two rooks or 1 queen

[torpid lintel]

It's depend

[willow elm]

Wait what?

[digital phoenix]

yeah are u sure u got it right

[hallow oar]

Two rooks are stronger in open positions when they are connected

[willow elm]

Shoot im starting to forget my name on chess

I couldn’t really remember

Its was like july 2022 or smth

[dense ravine]

i seen worst names

[willow elm]

When my acc got hacked

[torpid lintel]

Often yes: Whatever the two rooks set their mind to can't be prevented by the queen.
As a simplified example, if both sides have a passed pawn, the rook player can simply put a rook behind their passed pawn and the other rook on the same rank in front of the opposing passed pawn. In such a configuration (pictured), the queen is hapless and the rooks clearly supremee.

However, if the board is more open, especially if the king is prone to checks, then the queen can become mighty. Ideally for the rook player, the board is closed except one file where the rooks can infiltrate.

Practically, the queen side is often a bit easier to play. The rooks are invincible in a given configuration, but brittle during reconfiguration. So with less time on the clock and with weaker players, the queen may be preferable.

you should read sillman's endgame study might be very hard but if u have a coach it can be good to work through slowly

[last verge]

probably opening theory books are useful for you and im not sure if you've ever looked at yusupov's books but they could help

[hallow oar]

I'm not that cracked. I would lose to 14 year old magnus 100-0

bortnyk is here i think

[hallow oar]

Already read half of it I like the book it's easy

[dense ravine]

how do you get gm?

just 2500 elo?

[last verge]

well magnus drew kasparov at 13 and he was an IM so he's a completely different class

[hasty iris]

@hallow oar u should get a good coach it's probably the best way to improve

at your level

[last verge]

you have to have a certain series of wins against other grandmasters in tournaments as well, these are called "norms"

[digital phoenix]

i could get agm if i felt like it

[last verge]

arena titles are fake titles

[hasty iris]

norms are impossible to get unless u are too good at chess. u have to be lucky too

[silent spear]

HOW

[last verge]

i mean if you're grandmaster strength you'll get the norms and then the title

[digital phoenix]

still a more competitive online platform compared to chess.com

[hallow oar]

I have a coach who is a Fide master but honestly I don't feel like he's helping a lot he just does public courses about random topics that feel way too easy for me

[last verge]

bro stalemated 💀💀💀💀💀💀

you had mate in 2 and you stalemated

Rd6 Rh6 gg

[hasty iris]

my friend has had some nightmare scenarios where he was doing super well and just needed 1 win for the norm, and his opponent withdrew before the last round 💀

entire tournament wasted

[last verge]

if it's come to the point where you have nightmares about chess tournaments you probably have some other problems

[hasty iris]

TRUE

[digital phoenix]

having friends who have the same skill level are better than having friends who are way better cos u can compare

[last verge]

you can look for stronger coaches that are willing to do 1-on-1 work

[last verge]

we are the same rating in bullet!

[hasty iris]

u can get a GM coach lol

[last verge]

he is 1900 fide tbf

[hallow oar]

Only 6 gms in my country

[hasty iris]

why do u need to get a coach from your country?

[last verge]

some do online coaching which is obviously different but it still helps

[hallow oar]

Oh I forgot about online coaching

[hasty iris]

my friend got coached to FM by a russian GM only online for 10 years or something

never in person and he got FM

[last verge]

i got wfm on my own

[hasty iris]

so u can do online coaching it's not too different for chess at a high level

[dense ravine]

whats the worst opening in chess

[hallow oar]

Any book recommendations?

[hasty iris]

f3 or something

[last verge]

1. d4

[hallow oar]

Grob

[frosty fable]

BROTHERRRR, WHYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[dense ravine]

ouch

[last verge]

i'm trolling i'm not even a woman but seriously invest in some endgame books, and at your level books dedicated to a single opening could seriously help

[dense ravine]

@worn ice teach me chess please

what if albert is a person

[frosty fable]

e4 e5 is the best opening imo.

[last verge]

although you want to be careful since some of the lines that books call "popular" or "trendy" or "main line" could be outdated or refuted by new engine idaes

[dense ravine]

what if enemy did d4 at wwhite and your black

[hallow oar]

Should I read anything more than Silman's complete endgame course? Silman claims its enough but I honestly don't

[last verge]

no harm in studying with an engine if you aren't feeling any books

[dense ravine]

whats the difrence between maximum and stockfish

[last verge]

i was simultaneously reading silman's and dvoretsky's books, i found them to be pretty helpful but i didn't get through all of it

[frosty fable]

Stick them with e5

[last verge]

maximum eats ass and stockfish is the top engine in the world

[dense ravine]

how your gana give it for free 😥

[hasty iris]

u should read some books that cover top level games

[dense ravine]

chat gpt>

[frosty fable]

uh huh

[hasty iris]

my friend said they are the most helpful

[last verge]

englund opening, it's a dubious opening but playable

[hasty iris]

because under 2000 struggle a lot in midgame ideas

[hallow oar]

Have you read Shereshevsky's book?

[frosty fable]

Real.

[last verge]

^^ looking over grandmaster games is also super helpful

[dense ravine]

reality bending powers

sacrficing THE KING

[last verge]

i haven't lol i dipped into a few opening theory books and mostly read endgame stuff

[hasty iris]

100 endgames is too hard apparently

[silent spear]

YES

[hallow oar]

It looks easy compared to Dvoretsky's

[last verge]

some of the pretentious 2400s have differing opinions on it

[hallow oar]

I heard that it's too basic for my rating

[last verge]

i haven't read a lot, i'm wondering if doing some more chess reading could actually boost my rating like 200

[dense ravine]

li chess and chess.com are both good

[digital phoenix]

play bullet

[hallow oar]

Isolated pawns are always good because you can thrust forward

[silent spear]

what opening should I play, this is what I got with caro kann fianchetto

[frosty fable]

Even better, London in bullet.

[digital phoenix]

even better london in bullet and blunder a piece on move 5

[silent spear]

scholars mate in bullet

[digital phoenix]

and call it a "gambit"

[last verge]

isolated tripled e pawns are a great structure to have for a strong position

[silent spear]

Tripled e pawns

[hallow oar]

Knights are stronger towards the edge because they distract your opponent

[maiden mesa]

is it ethical to cyberstalk an 11 year old to figure out their openings if you're gonna play them in a tournament

[frosty fable]

Most likely only possible in 4D Chess.

[frosty fable]

If u don't get caught, yes.

[hasty iris]

yes or else u will get homecooked and lose

[last verge]

i did this to a guy i had to play

[hallow oar]

Yes it is ethical to look at your opponents games before the tournament. I do that and it gives me a huge advantage

[last verge]

besides it's barely cyberstalking you just google their name and look at archives of their games

[maiden mesa]

i mean hes 800 elo on USCF but im unrated so i gotta do the kids tournament to start. im not worried too much but he got me good with 1.d4

[dense ravine]

what chess player do you guys hate the most

[maiden mesa]

i cant find his games, though. USCF doesnt list them for some reason

[last verge]

bishops are good when locked inside pawn chains because they can send power up and down the chain

[maiden mesa]

people who started playing because of andrew tate

[last verge]

other websites might have them

[maiden mesa]

any ideas which ones might? ive been looking around and cant find anything

[digital phoenix]

london players / people below 1200 who think theyre good

[dense ravine]

what is a london?

[digital phoenix]

capital of england

[last verge]

i forgot but the guy that i played was an IM so maybe thats why his games were so available

[frosty fable]

Play more games, you'll know the importance of knights.

[dense ravine]

whats the most anoying opening

[digital phoenix]

london

[maiden mesa]

ah

[frosty fable]

London.

[last verge]

people who recycle gotham's vocabulary on attacking and positions without knowing what it means

[hallow oar]

Shuffle your rook to the two same squares until your opponent attacks because they will always blunder

[dense ravine]

how bout quen gambit?

[maiden mesa]

my brother in christ he is 2-4x as good as you

[digital phoenix]

people who are 2300 online and 1200 fide

[last verge]

if you move your queen back and forth three times it's a draw by repetition

[hallow oar]

Best anti Sicilian

[maiden mesa]

yeah anybody below 1200 sucks and can barely play chess (i am a 1240)

[hard gyro]

Cool

[hallow oar]

You mean anybody below 2000 fide including me

[dense ravine]

most dificult opening?

[last verge]

i'm gonna go to my uscf tourney and smurf and look at gotham's beginner videos

[hard gyro]

As soon as the endgame started, my opponent decided that his queen's time is up.

[maiden mesa]

i watch chess simp for good education chess content personally

[dense ravine]

wait is this london?

[maiden mesa]

yes you sperg

[digital phoenix]

i only hang one thing

[silent spear]

I guess me fianchettoing my bishop was too much theory and he blundered both rooks and his queen

[hallow oar]

F3 g4 is the best opening to grab space on the king side

[dense ravine]

im just checking it

[frosty fable]

Delete this or you'll get haunted for 72 years.

[mystic stream]

[dense ravine]

whats so anoying about this?

[dense ravine]

i want to know why its being hated

[last verge]

you have to play against it a few times to understand

[frosty fable]

You didn't just ask that-

[maiden mesa]

leads to dull and closed positions which are no fun

[hard gyro]

WHY

[dense ravine]

IM CHECKING IT

[hard gyro]

WHY ARE YOU LEARNING LONDON SYSTEM?

[dense ravine]

iim a curious guy

[last verge]

the main line of the best try against the london leads to an unbelievably dry position

[dense ravine]

I WANA KNOW WHATS THE MOST POWERFULL OPENING 😭

[silent spear]

shut up and learn fried liver fianchetto

[hard gyro]

PLAY VIENNA, OR ITALIAN, NOT THE DAMN LONDON

Queen's gambit > London

[frosty fable]

Don't be curious or the Brits will clap yo ass saying we're curious

Italian fianchetto

my brain is to smoll to understand

[silent spear]

my opening I created🔥🔥🔥

[frosty fable]

Literally anything is better than London 💀

[dense ravine]

is london bad?

[grim edge]

caro best opening

[dense ravine]

why is london bad?

[last verge]

in approximately zero italian lines that i'm aware of is it common practice to fianchetto any of the four bishops

[dense ravine]

caro kan good

[last verge]

literally the italian guy said its wrong

[digital phoenix]

i beat indirect cos he played caro

[hallow oar]

London is basically white offering a draw on move 2

[grim edge]

i don't think he wants to play me

[last verge]

bardeleben? 💀

[dense ravine]

why is london hated?

[digital phoenix]

boring, drawish, repetitive

[last verge]

i wasnt aware it was possible to misspell it that bad

[hard gyro]

Is this decent?

[silent spear]

someone tell me how an opening is an inaccuracy

[frosty fable]

I usually like playing Sicilian or Italian. You should too. Period.

[last verge]

calculate three moves ahead for me

[hallow oar]

I don't hate it because I win against it most of the time but I think it's very boring

[hard gyro]

Basted

[dense ravine]

alright i wont learn london im just checking it

[grim edge]

depends on the game

[obsidian sail]

cus u trade ur queens and u cant castle anymore

basically worse development

[last verge]

if you play 1. e4 d5 2. d3 you should be banned from all chess websites

WHY DID BLACK PLAY H5 AGAINST D3

[silent spear]

he missed it anyway

[hard gyro]

Thanks

[obsidian sail]

h5 W move

[digital phoenix]

i drew someone who threw his castling ability out of the window in the first 10 moves that was sad

[dense ravine]

how do you counter london?

[last verge]

its probably a smurf

[hallow oar]

Main line

[last verge]

if they can't castle and you don't capitalize on that then it doesn't mean anything

[frosty fable]

Either pre moved (which I don't think is the case) or just dum dum.

[dense ravine]

whats a main line im low iq

[last verge]

who premoves h5

[last verge]

c5 break is typical main line

[hallow oar]

D5 c5 setup

[silent spear]

[frosty fable]

What's the opponent's elo?

[digital phoenix]

i mean it was easy for him to manually queenside castle so thats something

[last verge]

bceause it can basically be sent to an endgame where nothing happens

spongebob squarepants? nah we got bob l’éponge

[frosty fable]

Oh woah

[last verge]

because b3 was a bad move in the first place you shouldn't fianchetto your bishop at all

[silent spear]

why

Significantly harder to read than a Casio F-91W even, let alone any modern watch.

[mossy comet]
