[upbeat viper]

wah

[spark apex]

fide is so different than online chess

[upbeat viper]

do you play for trappy tactics ?

[viscid jacinth]

you already have missed many pins you havent spotted, you think you can see all pin tactics because the one where you saw the pin tactic was the only thing you saw and not the pin tactic you didn't saw

[spark apex]

nope

[nimble niche]

what do you think my fide would be?

[viscid jacinth]

Here is a tongue twister for ya

[upbeat viper]

crazy then

[spark apex]

I am a NM OTB, it's just extremely difficult to raise FIDE in the US

[high oasis]

tell me about it

[nimble niche]

it's even harder in Australia

[spark apex]

Online experience or not, FIDE players are professionals

They will squeeze you, show no mercy

[nimble niche]

unless you travel to southeast Asia to play fide, your fide rating wouldn't be good

[lone garden]

will white win

[spark apex]

Don't even think online chess is comparable to FIDE for a second, because you will be disappointed

[viscid jacinth]

It must be hard for Australians to fight those spiders no cap

[nimble niche]

oceania barely has any fide tournaments

[spark apex]

There is 2000+ online chess and there is FIDE

[gentle maple]

e

[nimble niche]

all the fide tournaments contain the top players because none of them would want to miss the 5 or 6 tournaments every year

[high oasis]

yeah blacks pawns suck and white is up a piece

[grim edge]

✊

[spark apex]

Even low rated FIDE rated players usually only blunder under severe time pressure

[viscid jacinth]

Incho how many pet spiders do you have

[spark apex]

Hanging pieces are practically unseen

as they are online

[grim edge]

i used to have a pet jumping spider until it died

[nimble niche]

except when i play fide

[lone garden]

correct

[upbeat viper]

weeell

[viscid jacinth]

Damn i thought i was joking

[upbeat viper]

looking forward to face people in OTB classical matches

[spark apex]

Yeah

It will give you a better idea of where you sit at in terms of raw skill

[upbeat viper]

that'd force me to calculate

[spark apex]

If you are a positional player it will favor you though

[high oasis]

pawn structures dictate basically the whole game

[honest drift]

Guys I am stuck at 699

[spark apex]

It is harder to punish someone who's less skilled but positional than tactical

[grim edge]

win more games

[viscid jacinth]

imagine stalling in otb game

[nimble niche]

junior players are so easy to outplay positionally and tactically but adult players are really tough to beat

[viscid jacinth]

How would that be

[upbeat viper]

I'm guided my positional assessments

[spark apex]

Juniors are so deadly at this level

[upbeat viper]

I only calculate for tactics

[spark apex]

Most FIDE rated players are like this

[viscid jacinth]

Why are juniors are so good at things they do

[hard gyro]

Trust me.

I may miss some pins, but never will I miss Rook-Pawn-King pins

[spark apex]

true professionals, rarely blunder

it takes a lot of pressure for them to crack, big pain

[nimble niche]

the top junior players here (except me) are very dangerous in adult tournaments

[viscid jacinth]

Tell me that when you get diamond and see insights

[nimble niche]

i just don't have much otb experience

[lone garden]

AND I GOT A BRILLANT

[spark apex]

You are quite good, yes, but you are one of the top junior players in the country?

What are the FIDE standards in australia?

[upbeat viper]

I beat an FM in otb blitz btw

[nimble niche]

I find it relatively easy to beat junior players because they also lack experience

[upbeat viper]

thanks to my scotch gambit

bery strong opiening

[nimble niche]

I'm definitely not a top junior player in Australia but I am close to the top in nsw

[hard gyro]

Give me Diamond.

[spark apex]

That's impressive

I will warn you though that opening tricks and prep that works in blitz is going to be much less effective OTB

[nimble niche]

I can beat most of the top junior players in nsw in blitz but it's such a pain to play them in classical

[spark apex]

know what you're getting into

[spark apex]

Playing FIDE players in classical in general is hell

[viscid jacinth]

Win a weekly tourney

[spark apex]

1600 or 2400 it is very difficult to get them to crack

[grim edge]

i feel like it would be easy to get distracted in classical

[nimble niche]

I'm the NSW junior blitz champion but I'm far from being the classical champion

[spark apex]

There are 2100 USCF's where I live that are 1400 FIDE

i beat a 2200 SUCF otb recently and he was unrated FIDE

[lone garden]

i was once in a chess tourment in real life

8 games

i won 4 game in a row
lost 3 game in a row
won 1 game

[spark apex]

I was so mad

[nimble niche]

most other top player here have 1 on 1 coaches

[spark apex]

i could just go to a hybrid and get FM easily

not fun tho

[upbeat viper]

Setup/20

[spark apex]

most reliable way

[high oasis]

what are hybrids

[spark apex]

immoral, foreign federations get paid to tank their rating

[upbeat viper]

don't mind my hanging mic

[spark apex]

holy *** that is a nice setup

[upbeat viper]

[nimble niche]

Titles in Australia are pay to win. If you are somewhat decent and you go to the junior zonal, you get a free conditional title

But you still have to get 2000 fide for CM which is really hard in Australia so

[spark apex]

explains the sub 2000 titled players on chess.com

[upbeat viper]

buying a mic arm : 🚫
using strings : ✅

[spark apex]

no way you qualify titles by norms or rating and you cannot break 2000-2200 online

[grim edge]

real

[latent pebble]

livin’ the dream

[spark apex]

in Poland players who are ~2200 FIDE are all like 2700+ blitz online

[tight gust]

How can I improve Ma game

[nimble niche]

there are only 2 junior players in nsw with titles

Yo guys

[grim edge]

hi

[proven spire]

If i just want to try out the free trial for the membership thing can i just get the free trial then after it ends i just cancel my membership

[ionic tangle]

if this is live we cant do anything

[grim edge]

yes

[lone garden]

its not live

[ionic tangle]

gimme a sec.

[upbeat viper]

according to a study, having a chessboard usually makes you stronger at chess

[lone garden]

i have one but its lego (too poor)

[ionic tangle]

trueeeee

[nimble niche]

imagine having a chess board, i totally don't have a draughts one

[ionic tangle]

i lost my rook piece in the chessboard and then i started winning with no rooks

[nimble niche]

I used to own a checkers set because it came with the chess board and set

[proven spire]

When will it start charging me the first day of the montg or end of the month

[ionic tangle]

it charges u after the free trial

[lone garden]

queen gambit or king gambit

[nimble niche]

if you forget to cancel it, it will start charging

[proven spire]

Oh dang so i have to cancel it just before it ends right?

[ionic tangle]

both are aggressive, kings gambit being more underrated

[ionic tangle]

exactly.

[honest drift]

i like to gambit my king for counterplay

[proven spire]

Kk i got it

[ionic tangle]

if you forget to cancel it, say goodbye to ur cash

[upbeat viper]

1195$

ah yes money

[lone garden]

WHAT IS THAT KNIGHT

[upbeat viper]

a godly knight

[ionic tangle]

now thats a real horse.

[upbeat viper]

indeed

[grim edge]

u can refund

[urban pier]

Bro thinks he’s magnus Carlene

[ionic tangle]

ur king looks ballsy tho. i like it

[urban pier]

Bro thinks he’s magnus carlsen

[upbeat viper]

I need to watch some chess

[grim edge]

[grim edge]

👀

[upbeat viper]

I like money

gimme

[grim edge]

money is like bad n stuff so ill keep it all

[lone garden]

its this tatic good

i win a piece

[nimble niche]

not a tactic, just a trap

[lone garden]

ok

[grim edge]

only works if ur opponent is dumb

[nimble niche]

if your opponent took the bishop first, it would be a bishop for knight trade

[lone garden]

yes

im starting to improve

after i played 267 puzzles

[topaz garden]

[upbeat viper]

[ionic tangle]

that one excellent move ruined everything

[upbeat viper]

ok

[nimble niche]

this is a more advanced idea, but I probably wouldn't have take the knight because after Qxf3 Qe6, white can play Nd2 without having to worry about Bxc3, but if black didn't take the knight, black would maintain pressure on both the pin on the knight and the c3 pawn

[indigo rose]

[astral tundra]

then why pls explain

[stuck kestrel]

click on “show moves”

[astral tundra]

unable to find

[deft dew]

Rematch if you are free ?

[drifting vapor]

I guess it’s more position

[lone garden]

i am

[astral tundra]

it then deserves a mistake right how a blunder?

[deft dew]

Cool

[novel pagoda]

Would there be less water in the ocean if there were more spongebobs?

[lone garden]

go on youtube and search "how to calaucate in chess"

[deft dew]

Yeah i will check it out

[astral tundra]

this is the best move

[drifting vapor]

It’s probably cuz after Nc2, Bd8, Nd4 that just attacking another bishop and your bishop is hanging + they earned a pawn

[lone garden]

you can win a pawn

[drifting vapor]

Idk notation don’t ask how I’m 1.8k with not knowing notation

[deft dew]

There is a 30 min video on how to calculate on chess 😭

Damm levy

[lone garden]

its good for you

[astral tundra]

Bc7 Nxc2 Bxd8 Rxd8 Rxc2

I win a pawn this way right so whats wrong

?

[drifting vapor]

Idk sometimes stock fish is also very petty tbh

I don’t think it’s a blunder but I think it’s a mistake tbh

[astral tundra]

I calculated I had passed pawn I won but what tf is this

[rigid meteor]

what elo are yall?

[drifting vapor]

Not good enough

[astral tundra]

me 1100

too low right?

[drifting vapor]

Nah that’s fine

[lone garden]

im only 700+ but it says on average im 900

[drifting vapor]

Above 1K deserve respect, you put the effort in

[astral tundra]

yo 1000 players play soo bad

[ancient zodiac]

Hello people!

[drifting vapor]

But they still deserve some respect tho

[astral tundra]

but 1100 players play too good

IM STUCK!!

[ancient zodiac]

Why Gotham chess isn't a grandmaster?

[drifting vapor]

What are you struggling with?

[lone garden]

im gonna change my playing game time to chess

[drifting vapor]

To be GM you need to beat 3 GM and have like 2.5k Elo

[astral tundra]

defeating players in 1100 range

[ancient zodiac]

Levy's elo is 2750 though

[drifting vapor]

Official not Chess.com

[astral tundra]

He made a video on that check out

[ancient zodiac]

Awww

[drifting vapor]

Like what exactly are you losing in

[mellow adder]

or just participate in tournaments and have that elo

[drifting vapor]

Is it blundering piece? Openings or even middle game/ end game

[drifting vapor]

No you need to beat 3 GM to become a GM

[astral tundra]

advantage capitalization and end games with knight

I get forked under time pressure

[drifting vapor]

You probably have to work on your vision, cuz you’re still likely only thinking about what you’ll do

[mellow adder]

to become a GM, a player must acquire a FIDE rating of a minimum of 2500. Moreover, the player must achieve at least three GM norms or 27 games to be eligible

"27 games"

[drifting vapor]

Oh I thought it was to beat 3 GM, MB

[mellow adder]

THREE GM NORMS

[astral tundra]

and also win 10 international tournaments

ig?

[drifting vapor]

Idk I only know about those requirement

[mellow adder]

play 27 games in tournaments is the way i think

[lone garden]

i almost won one but lost to an malaysian

[mellow adder]

in chess.com?

[lone garden]

no

[drifting vapor]

Probably OTB

[random drum]

sup kids

[mellow adder]

no.

[echo flume]

What elo term you as good chess player

[astral tundra]

How do I attack with the knight in the middle game like many people attack really good with knight and make good advantages . I just dont understand when to jump the knight into the game any tips?

[drifting vapor]

I deem like 1.4K

[grim edge]

Hello

[mellow adder]

1600+

[lone garden]

its like school people vs school people

[drifting vapor]

Chess club?

[grim edge]

2800+ chess.com

[lone garden]

no

[drifting vapor]

Nah 1.6k are goofy ppl

[mellow adder]

ok.

[astral tundra]

for me 1600+

too

[drifting vapor]

Trying to take an outpost, make sure it’s active and will attack piece that the opponent can use to push

[astral tundra]

how do I identify where to attack

[drifting vapor]

It’s the High elo player, they are the most goofy player, trust im one of them

[mellow adder]

they are not goofy, you probably just get someone who just won/lost 5 times and play agaisnt em

[drifting vapor]

No they are

[mellow adder]

suuuure..

[drifting vapor]

Most of my games are very gothamchess subscriber like

[drifting vapor]

You just gotta keep playing, I can’t really tell you otherwise on how to know

[mellow adder]

most of my games are pretty decent, i sacrifice a figure but even managing to win

[astral tundra]

btw your rating

[drifting vapor]

My game is just that and then they blunder a Queen or something

[lone garden]

this year i lost

[drifting vapor]

I haven’t played in any tournament

[mellow adder]

the one i scored 6th in, when i was like 1200 elo

[astral tundra]

well I had beaten 1250 fide rated player

[drifting vapor]

Eh, I haven’t played FIDE thought of doing it but eh

[astral tundra]

In my 1st tournament

[drifting vapor]

Also OTB is much harder

[astral tundra]

and also lost to a 1500 fide rated

[astral tundra]

yep the pressure is intense youre scared af

[mellow adder]

i agree, when you play on pc you are around 2000 elo for example, then in otb your at 1400 elo

[drifting vapor]

• you see less cuz you’re not at bird eye view

[mellow adder]

i have social phobia so i dont do tournaments much

[digital phoenix]

wheres the pressure

[drifting vapor]

I might wanna do tournament but idk where to start tbh

[digital phoenix]

maybe when people watch u

[astral tundra]

search some unofficial tournaments in your locality

Like I did

[digital phoenix]

why is the rook no longer controlling the h file

[astral tundra]

its easy to win there but requires more concentration

[drifting vapor]

I’ll prob look for some

try and keep having alot of pawn or 1 or 2 rooks

[astral tundra]

knight or rook?

[mellow adder]

what opening do you use

just curious

[obsidian glen]

Rook and sometimes bishop pr knight

[drifting vapor]

Italian

[astral tundra]

Well , I use caro kann , queens gambit and dutch

[obsidian glen]

Car kann or indian for black and queens gambit for white

[mellow adder]

i play sicillian, english and queens gambit

[drifting vapor]

Englund better

[astral tundra]

time pressure or unable `to calculate

[obsidian glen]

How much elo are u

[mellow adder]

1900

[astral tundra]

why englund

[drifting vapor]

Idk he said English

[mellow adder]

english opening: c4

[wide token]

Me and my friend are going to hold a tournament for fun. Our idea was to make it an international tournament with at least 4 players. The difference between the ratings is from 800 to 1500. There will be a game of 10 minutes, everyone will play against everyone and the 2 best will play in the final of 3 games. The tournament will be played on chess.com

Anyone interested should send me a private message.

[obsidian glen]

i calculatr but always blunder when its engame maybe time because when time is low i miscalculate or forget piece threats

[drifting vapor]

Bruh I’m too high

[drifting vapor]

If you have time trouble go play bullet for a while

[obsidian glen]

Nice

[drifting vapor]

I’m around 1.8k to 1.9k

According to my role

[obsidian glen]

Im like 700

[mellow adder]

my style is that i think for a long time then use the best moves in my opinion

[astral tundra]

ahh thats why

[drifting vapor]

You probably play rapid then

[astral tundra]

I get it

[mellow adder]

i do, i main rapid

[obsidian glen]

But i made a new ccount and crushed 1200s

[drifting vapor]

Yea i main blitz, a lot of ppl main rapid

[astral tundra]

solve endgame puzzles as much as you can

[drifting vapor]

Maining bullet is different tho, that actually crazy

[obsidian glen]

Where do i find them

[astral tundra]

lichess

[mellow adder]

not really, once when i tried to play there was nobody to challenge me

[astral tundra]

for free

[mellow adder]

its like everybody fell asleep at once

[obsidian glen]

I did the game review and it told me i played like a 1400

[drifting vapor]

Nah it’s mostly since a lot of ppl who play rapid aren’t that good

That happened to me once I got placed with a 900 in a 1.7k match

[astral tundra]

are you sure about that?

the players who play rapid calculate a lot

[obsidian glen]

I play 10 | 5 i think its the best

[drifting vapor]

Yea, 1.8k are 1%

[astral tundra]

and have patience

[drifting vapor]

I’m talking due to size as well

[mellow adder]

i am 1.9k

[astral tundra]

rapid?

[mellow adder]

yes

[obsidian glen]

How can i get elo quickly ?

[drifting vapor]

If there are 100 Million player who play Raid, that means that only around like 120k are in 1.7k ish

[astral tundra]

solve 20-30 puzzles daily

[drifting vapor]

^ made up stats

[astral tundra]

mostly endgame ones

[thick swift]

Grind Puzzles, watch GothamChess, and have a basic repertoire

[drifting vapor]

I’m talking depending on size and everything too cuz I’m pretty sure Blitz have less people therefore it’s much easier to be rank higher

[mellow adder]

i never play puzzles, i dont watch chess videos often, i use sicillian, english and queens gambit

[astral tundra]

I cant take that time pressure

[obsidian glen]

I was like 600 a week ago without an opening and when i stidied two opeings and tried to focus more i got to 1000/1100 within a week

[mellow adder]

and i am 1.9k elo

[astral tundra]

I loose 50 % of the games due to time

[drifting vapor]

For me I just watch opening video, no puzzle or strats and just played tons of game

[obsidian glen]

Is there anything else i need to do ?

[astral tundra]

well puzzles help a lot

[thick swift]

No because a majority of the people in rapid are 100-800 in Blitz it is just less 100-800 people who just logged on to chess.com

[astral tundra]

mostly mid game puzzles

[mellow adder]

i also mildly like polish opening

i do not really use it often

[drifting vapor]

Yea that’s fair, people have different thinking speed

[drifting vapor]

Yea but they still affect the total stats

[obsidian glen]

...

[exotic wharf]

hello

[astral tundra]

in the endgame I loose

[knotty pumice]

Hey !!

[obsidian glen]

Hey

[drifting vapor]

Bro honestly just play, you’ll learn with every game

[mellow adder]

never use sicillian until your not 1500+ elo

[knotty pumice]

really ?

[astral tundra]

should I grind elo in blitz

[lucid coral]

hi

[astral tundra]

?

[obsidian glen]

But i had a friend that got to 2000 elo in a week

[astral tundra]

hello

[obsidian glen]

Is that even missible ?

[drifting vapor]

I grind in bullet cuz I had time issue

[astral tundra]

from

[alpine spruce]

Hi

[lucid coral]

hi

[obsidian glen]

Possible *

[mellow adder]

in chess.com

[stuck kestrel]

probably cheated

[obsidian glen]

Yes

[drifting vapor]

Was he 1.9k or from what

[obsidian glen]

No he was a total beginner

[astral tundra]

from how much elo?

[mellow adder]

oh well, he probably picked advanced and got like 100 and more elo just like i did

[pulsar bear]

YEAHHHH let's go been grinding for an Anastasia mate since forever

[keen parrot]

i got 2.3k in 3 days... starting from 2.5k

[drifting vapor]

Unless it’s an alt he’s cheating

[obsidian glen]

I taught him chess

[drifting vapor]

He’s cheating

[mellow adder]

you can start only from 100, 400, 800, 1600 and 2000 elo

[astral tundra]

Like he would have used engine

[obsidian glen]

I played him in real life

[drifting vapor]

Yea but you’ll lose that Elo really quickly

[mellow adder]

2000 elo idk if its existent on register

[astral tundra]

lol I was 300 elo when I started

[obsidian glen]

💀💀💀 before and after

[alpine spruce]

Hi , i have a question what is sandbagging

[mellow adder]

unless your really good

[white sorrel]

america

[drifting vapor]

There’s a chance but eh

[obsidian glen]

Wjen did u start

[digital phoenix]

purposely dropping rating to play weaker players

[mellow adder]

Sandbagging is the intentional act of reducing one's chess rating by losing games, or drawing with lower-rated players. Generally, the objective is to qualify for a lower rating class section in a future competition.

[astral tundra]

Woke up from my red bed, because back in the good ol' days red beds were the only color. I opened my oak door, and set foot outside. I look at the sunrise, not knowing that this is one of many that I will be staring at. 11 years later I go out the same house. With shaders, I look at the rays of sunlight entering through the windows of my house. Minecraft has a respawn button, but life itself doesn't. Bedwars, Survival, Hypixel, and every other rock in the path. Minecraft is not just a game. It's a celebration. A community. With out first houses made of diamond and gold blocks, and ending with our final projects and works. There was a time, a haven in our life. As a child we always talk about how we want to grow up, but once we reach there, it hurts deep down that we know we can't go back.

So, it takes place in a future where humanity has colonized the entire solar system. They've created a new religion based around the idea of an extradimensional Creator who blessed Holy Terra (Earth) with humans, a race created to explore the stars and conquer the universe.
An astronomer on Holy Terra observes the phenomenon that the sun and moon look the same size because the sun is equally as far away from the Earth as it is larger than the moon. He theorizes that this phenomenon is incredibly rare and can be used to find sentient life on other worlds in the universe.

So fast forward 50 years, and using this phenomenon humanity makes contact with another sentient species of humanoids called the Sharshin on a muddy little jungle planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. They too, belive they're their Creator's chosen people and were destined to set across the stars and conquer the universe, and they start a good-old fashioned Holy war with the humans.
This is the end of the first book.
The second and third books are about the war from different perspectives.

I've been cooking this for about a month.

Also thats a cool idea

[hasty raven]

Two, humanity became incredibly totalitarian and Europeans took over the world and established a Planetary Empire.

[viscid jacinth]

Alright so humans finally became smarter

[hasty raven]

Thank you, I've put a lot of thought into the finer details of this plot.

[glass carbon]

Up yours!

[hard gyro]

Hey guys, currently eating in Tacobell

[drifting vapor]

So basically human forgot about earth and then decided to enslave other life form

[viscid jacinth]

Good luck in toilet

[hard gyro]

It's not even that spicy, wdym

[viscid jacinth]

Damn ok

[hasty raven]

What? Have I offended you with my science FICTION? The FI in SCI FI is FICTION.

[radiant frost]

Indians don't feel the spice

[hard gyro]

Ran, I am in the country of spices

[hasty raven]

Also, no, that's not even remotely right.

[glass carbon]

Up yours!

[viscid jacinth]

We aint that spice tolerant anyways

[drifting vapor]

Pretty sure that what I got

[radiant frost]

For y'all even kurkure is spicy lmao

[hard gyro]

We are, if you have been eating spicy food since childhood.

[hasty raven]

Read it again.

[viscid jacinth]

nah

[drifting vapor]

It’s legit just a holy war which basically ends in slavery

Convince me otherwise it wouldn’t end in slavery

[lone garden]

"dont be in toilet because skibidi toilet will get you" 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[hasty raven]

No, it ends diplomatically with both races uniting under a common idea of the same Higher Power creating them.

[viscid jacinth]

god

[drifting vapor]

Bruh, I ain’t letting man power let that go free

[radiant frost]

I saw video where the guy was complaining that Maggi noodles are too spice lmao

[hasty raven]

The third book is about a conscripted priest and a Sharshin spy and their plan to stop the war by breaking into a diplomatic meeting.

[latent pebble]

What is kukure

[viscid jacinth]

One person doesn't describe the whole country

[lone garden]

what flavour

[radiant frost]

Basic flavour

[viscid jacinth]

maggi has different flavours?

[radiant frost]

Yeah

[leaden knoll]

the aliens probably had 2

[radiant frost]

Other flavours are not common to find

[hasty raven]

Well, use of magnetic-projectile guns became common over firearms, as well as particle acceleration as a means of transporting goods, and hydrogen engines in spaceships.

I want to incorporate space elevators too, but I'm not sure how yet.

[proven spire]

How do i cancel my membership?

[lean pawn]

u cant

[radiant frost]

Why

[leaden knoll]

that's illegal

[radiant frost]

If I just want to try out free demo

[leaden knoll]

i'm going into a class-action lawsuit with chess.com

[radiant frost]

I should be able to cancel

[hasty raven]

The Sharshin reproduce more like plants than animals, from clippings of themselves grown in incubator gardens. They don't have genders.

[radiant frost]

Are you creating a movie plot

[hasty raven]

It's also how they spread so quickly throughout the galaxy and why firebombing became very common in the war.

[hasty raven]

A book trilogy, actually.

[radiant frost]

Oh

[leaden knoll]

plants have male and female genitalia? look at flowers. they're hermaphrodites

[hasty raven]

Earth plants do.

[radiant frost]

Flowers do

Flowers have stigma

[dull marsh]

Horsey

[radiant frost]

And petals to attract male pollen grains

[hasty raven]

Unfortunately, the Sharshin don't conform to Earth plant biology.

[leaden knoll]

The sharshin don't conform to earthly chaotic politics either

they achieved utopia, we didn't

[hasty raven]

They achieved utopia by forcing control upon every citizen of the Sharshin Empire.

[radiant frost]

And who is controlling every citizen

[leaden knoll]

the government

who else?

[radiant frost]

That's not utopia

That's dictatorship

[leaden knoll]

reminds me of the american movement today that they want to grow the size of the government

[hasty raven]

They're plants, they're systematically linked to a mental root system and at it's head is the Sharshin Empress. Think of it like a partial hive mind. She uses her control to exert influence on the Sharshin telepathically.

[leaden knoll]

hivemind?
i don't like where this is going

[radiant frost]

So effectively it is just like one living being

[hasty raven]

Unfortunately, some Sharshin are genetically deficient and don't operate on the same frequency as everybody else. So they don't conform to Sharshin society and have created a Rebellion movement.

[silent quest]

Anybody down for a game

[radiant frost]

The whole empire has just one living being damn

[hasty raven]

Stop generalizing my inherently complicated science fiction.

They're not one living being.

They're just linked mentally.

[mint yew]

Am completely fcked

[leaden knoll]

think of it like ants.
ants have a mind of their own, but they are drones to the scents they sense.

they work together to make large structures.

[hasty raven]

There are free-thinking Sharshin, and they call themselves the Brakshin. Brakshin are genetically different. They don't carry a certain protein that changes your resonant frequency to accept Sharshin mindlinks.

[timid wren]

[hasty raven]

Bxb5, Bishop takes pawn

Free pawn

[leaden knoll]

you lose 2 points of material

[hasty raven]

Are we talking about the same bishop? I was thinking fBxa3, then Bxa3 from white, then Bxb5

[mint yew]

Done. Go see the game for accuracy

1 Brilliant move tho

[sleek zealot]

your bishop was trapped anyways and you played the best move, its really not that brilliant but chesscom is stoopid
