[digital phoenix]

Yes but I’m less shit than u

[peak plank]

that is correct

[digital phoenix]

I’m literally same skill as a 5 year old unlike u

[peak plank]

but thats ok because you are less shit than most people

[tough garden]

im 4000 whats that

[peak plank]

you can spot M2

(at least 10% of the time)

[digital phoenix]

I think that’s decent top 4 in low elo tournaments

[loud wharf]

...

[digital phoenix]

Or maybe u could qualify for u12 tournaments

[peak plank]

look somehwere else

[tough garden]

daaaamn that's almost accurate. I can do it 7% of the time, maybe im a bit overrated?

@clear sequoia hi

Im MEGALOMANIAC1261

[grim edge]

hanging pawns is the best chess youtuber fr

free theory

for basically every good opening

[peak plank]

u lost tho

[grim edge]

how tf did bro flag in rapid

[peak plank]

ha.

[toxic valley]

How do i save the rook

[grim edge]

L time management

[grim edge]

is this a live game?

[digital phoenix]

Rg1

[toxic valley]

Also I already ended up losing rook

[digital phoenix]

u need to do rg1

[grim edge]

@grim edge what openings do u play

[toxic valley]

Gonna waste double rook?

[peak plank]

he played london vs me

[grim edge]

what variation

[toxic valley]

Also there is horse

[grim edge]

lmao

[digital phoenix]

ik

[toxic valley]

So that is blunder

[grim edge]

What do u play against bc5

[grim edge]

giuoco pianissimo goated fr

ew why

literally begging for a draw

[tight gull]

wait

[toxic valley]

The queen started attacking rook at early game then enemys queen took free pawns

[tight gull]

u mean bc5 traxler variation?

[toxic valley]

And ended up at there

[tight gull]

or bc5 after bc4?

[deft shale]

No

[grim edge]

Yes that

[tight gull]

c3 d4 is very good line

[toxic valley]

It was forking king and rook so it is forced to lose rook

[grim edge]

c3 d3 better

[tight gull]

if ur at his level

[tight gull]

yea but then you gotta know how to reroute the knight

and whether u wanna attack same side or queenside

with a4 a5

[grim edge]

no shit

[tight gull]

there is the immediate d4 which i like

a gambit for the hell of gambiting

[grim edge]

meh i like d3 better

more positional

[grim edge]

whats ur lc rating?

[tight gull]

1971

[grim edge]

Nice

I'm just starting again, haven't played much since 2022 but never got past 1000 rating really. What's the top 3 things you guys would say to get past 1000 in rapid?

[zenith willow]

https://tenor.com/view/kto-lbow-hi-hello-hi-there-gif-25347432

Do puzzles

[simple spoke]

@everyone

[graceful lintel]

Middle and end game concept

[digital phoenix]

thats crazy u take out ur friends liver

[zenith willow]

I think I'm worse with pawns than any other piece tbh

[graceful lintel]

💀

[peak plank]

I have not played chess in two weeks

[graceful lintel]

[simple spoke]

@everyone

[zenith willow]

should I do stuff with pawns if I don't know what else to do?

@everyone

[peak plank]

I got a lot of studies

[simple spoke]

@everyone

[zenith willow]

yeaaaa

[simple spoke]

@everyone

[grim edge]

Watch hanging pawns videos on italian solid opening

[graceful lintel]

Ur ratings?

[zenith willow]

I suck at closing a win even with leads too

[grim edge]

<@&745328830649991179> spam

[digital phoenix]

hes shit

[zenith willow]

is that white and/or black?

[grim edge]

pixel loses to 800s

[grim edge]

italian is for white

[digital phoenix]

yeah idk what u expect

[peak plank]

well...

[digital phoenix]

if u lose to pixel and ur anywhere above 1k u suck

[simple spoke]

@everyone

[digital phoenix]

he does actually

[peak plank]

two questions can be asked here

[grim edge]

💀

[zenith willow]

czech pirc's defense was my go to for black, I think my wr on black was a lot higher lol

[peak plank]

are you saying that promoting to bishops means losing more?

okay.

[grim edge]

i mean as long as u know the middle and endgame concepts for an opening u can play anything

[digital phoenix]

pixel why are u so bad

[peak plank]

I have not played in two weeks

[zenith willow]

this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP4qtaUAhWM&ab_channel=HangingPawns

[digital phoenix]

i can beat a 1400 with one hand bro

[zenith willow]

got a good video for middle and endgame concepts?

[grim edge]

Ye then watch the more in depth vidoes on the opening variations

[graceful lintel]

[grim edge]

thats like the general overview

maybe play c3 d4 variation or deutz gambit or fried liver

[waxen prism]

I think the knight move was amazing

[zenith willow]

I remember the name fried liver, I'll have to relearn that one

what are the top 3 cheese strats in sub 1000? I need to learn the counters

[bright folio]

yep

[bright folio]

[peak plank]

he does play c3 d4

[grim edge]

no one under 1000 will be able to handle the italian if u know what ur doing

[grim edge]

im not talking about unity

[peak plank]

oh

[grim edge]

c3 d4 is mid anyway

[jovial vector]

Im so weak with black pieces i have 57% winrate with white and 47% with black

[grim edge]

giuoco pianissimo better

[waxen prism]

wyd when you see 800 elo players playing perfect theory

[grim edge]

probably a cheater

[digital phoenix]

u cheater

[grim edge]

im planning on going to NSW open next year

[bright folio]

its possible playing perfect theory

[grim edge]

gotta start sweating chess

[bright folio]

just the traps though

[zenith willow]

@grim edge what about for playing as black what's like the top 3 cheeses I need to really learn to counter?

[grim edge]

what online rating do i need to start studying theory

[zenith willow]

fried liver, queens gambit are 2 of them right?

[grim edge]

I mean u can play e5. Me personally i like c6 but find something you like

[zenith willow]

czech pirc's defense I liked, is it solid?

[grim edge]

New South Wales

[peak plank]

didnt you say that you wanted to challenge me to a rematch?

really? nothing about checkmating me with knights?

you got too cocky and you know it

[tough garden]

2000. For earlier ratings, you can learn along the way. A analyze your games, and check what you can improve. That's what I do at least

[peak plank]

you delted the message AHAHAHHAA

HAHAHAHAHHAA

[peak plank]

[tight gull]

2000 is a bit too high

[peak plank]

study theory as much as you can so you can get to that rating in the first place

[tight gull]

i would say 1500

[peak plank]

I would say 1000.

[tight gull]

💀

[peak plank]

youre worse ig

[zenith willow]

how do I look at my winrate as white and black on chess.com?

[waxen prism]

1000 is absurd

[tight gull]

what theory is a 1000 gonna study?

[grim edge]

fr

[waxen prism]

no 1000 plays theory sorry

[peak plank]

alright. 800.

[tight gull]

like 3 moves max

[sweet coyote]

insight?

[zenith willow]

oh wait I found it

[tight gull]

if i was 1000 i would study like 4 moves and thats it

[sweet coyote]

nvm

[grim edge]

vienna ig its what i did and i regret spending time learn so many lines

[peak plank]

the reason yall so crap is because you didnt study

[grim edge]

its better to learn middle and end game ideas than theory

[tight gull]

vienna sounds fun

[grim edge]

whats ur rating ?

[tight gull]

never rly tried it

[peak plank]

2100 peak

[tight gull]

just insert table on any text editing app lol

or use adobe illustrator it's the goat

I never use these apps

[random drum]

it's paid i guess

[hasty iris]

???

[hasty iris]

yes

[fickle rampart]

Ya Adobe stuff is pretty pricey

But their software is fire

[hasty iris]

but also how do you plan on making something custom and not use any text editing app?

[subtle cove]

Can I check my accent through Duolingo?

[hasty iris]

i have illustrator open 24/7 literally it's never closed. probably why my memory is always dead

[fickle rampart]

I wish Adobe products were one time purchases but is what it is

[hasty iris]

i was recreating chesscom UI earlier today

[random drum]

Nvm I don't have anyone to play irl so no need of scoresheet

[fickle rampart]

Sort of, with the “speak” exercises you get periodically throughout the app

[subtle cove]

Even acrobat is no cheap

[random drum]

I only have one frnd who can play irl chess with me

[fickle rampart]

[subtle cove]

Why aren't major people making money from chess here?

[random drum]

Indians. Math and science

[hasty iris]

wow

[random drum]

People make money but from tournaments

[hasty iris]

i dont get that

[primal fern]

i am actually putting out chess tutoring flyers

[brittle oyster]

I study 9hrs a day bruh 💀

[fickle rampart]

Did you know that you can learn math and languages on Duolingo

[subtle cove]

If you are >2500 there you go...

[fickle rampart]

And soon MUSIC

[hasty iris]

for what 💀

[primal fern]

[subtle cove]

Is that working?

Hope so

[primal fern]

ye

[brittle oyster]

JEE you can google it

[zenith willow]

so does anyone actually give Magnus Carlsen a run for his money nowadays?

[random drum]

💀 bro are u okay

I will also do JEE in future

[brittle oyster]

Yeah bro kinda 💀

[hasty iris]

i trust u dw

[subtle cove]

Do neet instead

[hasty iris]

guess i live in a privileged country where we dont have to do crazy university entrance exams

[brittle oyster]

Maths is tough as magnus carlsen

[random drum]

[fickle rampart]

Right now it’s not even close

[brittle oyster]

Lucky

[fickle rampart]

Only in bullet Hikaru is stronger, every other format Magnus is clear # 1

[random drum]

But tbh math and physics is interesting

[brittle oyster]

Physics is good maths is tough as hell

[hasty iris]

the crazy thing is u could become grandmaster with this work ethic

[zenith willow]

dang, that makes things a little boring. Is Hikaru still pretty much his best competition?

[random drum]

gl bro

[fickle rampart]

Yeah Hikaru and Fabi

[brittle oyster]

It's too late I discovered that I am into chess now💀

[primal fern]

bro go outside

[fickle rampart]

There are promising players coming up (Pragg, Gukesh, Nodirbek) but none of them can seem to oust Magnus

Also Firouzja

[primal fern]

@brittle oyster when did you start playing chess?

[brittle oyster]

Just when carlsen defeated prag

[zenith willow]

but they still get washed pretty much? lol

[tight gull]

pragg has a winning record right?

[hasty iris]

do u ever consider the possibility it might all be a waste of time and your younger years are passing you by? im 100% sure with all the online resources you can be extremely succesful and have a fulfilling life without studying 9+ hours a day

[brittle oyster]

💀

[last verge]

chess is beautiful

[primal fern]

bro you study 9 hours a day and you're still 200 elo? doing something wrong man

[tight gull]

i think he has to be trolling lol

[fickle rampart]

I think they are tied in classical format

[brittle oyster]

Uh 💀

[sweet coyote]

uh.

[last verge]

bro how do u study 9 hours a day just to be 200

[fickle rampart]

But just like in general none of the upcoming players can seem to get an upper hand against Magnus

[last verge]

i was like 4 times that rating in my first week of play 💀💀💀💀

[brittle oyster]

Ik

[zenith willow]

I'm trying to catch up on the pro scene for the last year or so, what's the biggest tournament again? FIDE or whatever? And I think I recall Magnus skipped the tournament or something for some reason? is that true?

[hasty iris]

nah i believe him, some asian countries especially, korea, china, india is wild their student schedules

[tight gull]

💀

[fickle rampart]

More often than not, yes

But they still put up great fights against Magnus and are capable of beating Magnus

[last verge]

but surely not about chess

[tight gull]

bro is 200 man

[fickle rampart]

It’s just Magnus will end up winning the majority of the decisive games

[brittle oyster]

I study 9 hrs bro 💀

[restive storm]

alireza is probably the strongest out of the juniors because he was already considered a top player like 2 years ago but he still has a lot of work to do if he wants to destroy people like magnus does

[last verge]

9 hours total maybe

[tight gull]

like school?

or chess?

[zenith willow]

like 66% win ratio or higher against them?

[brittle oyster]

Self stdy

[tight gull]

i think he means class studies

[brittle oyster]

No

[tight gull]

like math and english and allat

[brittle oyster]

Yep

[tight gull]

thank goodness

i was so scared

[sweet coyote]

lmao asian schedule

[hasty iris]

@brittle oysterwhat is your daily schedule and how do u have time to chat on discord for already 10 mins

[brittle oyster]

Tru

[fickle rampart]

Against Fabi it’s more balanced

[brittle oyster]

Will be goin to study in 4 mind

[fickle rampart]

Yeahh

[restive storm]

fabi is doing very well in classical especially recently
he's able to get a lot of wins

[zenith willow]

so he's the 2nd best classical player?

[hasty iris]

tbh Hikaru is a changed man (not even capping), theyve drawn their only classical since Hikaru transformed

[last verge]

how does bro study 9 hours for school 💀

[grim edge]

YOOOOOOOO

[last verge]

nuh uh i beat him

[zenith willow]

what you mean, transformed? lol

[restive storm]

I think magnus is just good against alireza's style because alireza plays so risky which is better against players that don't punish as well

[fickle rampart]

Wouldn’t be surprised if chess.com does this at this point 😭

[last verge]

that is NOT a genius move

[fickle rampart]

Fabi has been on a tear recently

[hasty iris]

hikaru has had one of the best tournament records since coming back to play he's unstoppable (except WC )

[restive storm]

new move annotation update? I got this yesterday

[fickle rampart]

Would’ve been sick to see Fabi vs Magnus World Cup final, but the format and tiebreaks are just too grueling

[zenith willow]

can anyone update me on this?

[last verge]

mate in 1 💀

[hasty iris]

grand prix 1, grand prix 3, candidates, norway chess, what else i forgot

[restive storm]

I was really hoping fabi would win the whole thing and he was so close to beating pragg but sadly he wasn't able to

[last verge]

fide is the organization, the biggest tournament is sort of a matter of opinion but you could say it's the fide world cup/candidates tournament/world chess championship/something else

[fickle rampart]

Yes, also if you don’t know there’s a live rating list which is nice to have as a reference https://2700chess.com

[restive storm]

at least fabi got the candidates spot

[fickle rampart]

Hikaru is definitely on the ups in classical

[fickle rampart]

Yeah he’ll be a top finisher

[hasty iris]

i dont think a knockout format can ever be the biggest tournament

candidates + World champ are the two biggest

[restive storm]

and its good to get the spot early too so that there's lots of time to prepare

the reason why world cup is so hard to win is because players get so tired towards the end

[brittle oyster]

It's pretty easy to do when u have the whole day though I am able to do 8 hrs when there is coaching

[fickle rampart]

Yup it’s a massive advantage honestly

No need to stress about qualifying, can keep it more chill during tournaments leading up to the candidates

[grim edge]

Guyss can y'all reccomend me some chess books to read to improvise my middlegame

[fickle rampart]

Levy’s book when it drops

[jovial vector]

how did I manage to draw this game I would've been so close to 1000 how annoyingggg

[candid wagon]

offers a draw
accepts
“A perfect game ends in a draw.”

[zenith willow]

If I recall Magnus skipped one of these last year or no?

[graceful lintel]

Leave him alone he don't want to connect his account

[primal fern]

he just said ok

[graceful lintel]

Don't connect (like if u really want to,do connect)

[zenith willow]

Yea it was candidates last year, why did Magnus skip that one?

[primal fern]

you're connected....

[graceful lintel]

[fickle rampart]

Magnus is not a fan of the current time controls for the world chess championship (games are too long)

[graceful lintel]

💀

[zenith willow]

How long are they?

[mystic stream]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65R-QwU2rk0 15:52 i found annittadrink in hikarus stream

[fickle rampart]

Also if they change the time control for the championship then surely they’ll have to change the time controls for the candidates tournament too?

[zenith willow]

It's 1 hour each side right? Or 45 mins?

[flint fox]

Bro i keep rereading the rules cause i might get banned for posting a dark humor meme

[fickle rampart]

2 hours for each side, then at move 40 more time and increment is added

[hasty iris]

LMAO I JUST BEAT THIS GUY DOWN A FULL QUEEN

[zenith willow]

Sheesh yea that's insane, has this been the typical historically?

[graceful lintel]

Wait probably neuro reporting me imma leave

[fickle rampart]

Yea, super long time controls are the norm for classical games

Games can last 6+ hours

[zenith willow]

I would've thought 1 hour each would count as "super long"

[fickle rampart]

Yea

[zenith willow]

So I guess most people watch the rapid format live? Which is like 30 mins right? Or 15 maybe?

[zenith willow]

So what's the time increment you get after turn 40?

[fickle rampart]

Yup rapid and blitz is most popular to watch

[warm tartan]

yup

[zenith willow]

Blitz is too memey for me, I like rapid

[flint fox]

I read the rules again and now imma send it cause inthink i'm sure

[restive storm]

you guys should try watching classical live if you can

[fickle rampart]

These were time controls for the ‘23 championship

The last rule can be bypassed with threefold repetition (it’s not like the games have to be a minimum of 40 moves each)

[zenith willow]

Wait wait wait, they play up to 14 games against the same guy??!! Or is that the whole tournament?

[fickle rampart]

Yup, against the same guy

[flint fox]

Ding and nepo

[zenith willow]

That sounds like torture lol

[flint fox]

Imagine losing tho

[zenith willow]

Take like a week to play?

[fickle rampart]

It lasts like a month

[zenith willow]

Sheesh

[warm tartan]

I'm glad dine won

[fickle rampart]

Because of rest days and opening/ closing ceremonies

[warm tartan]

ding

[flint fox]

1 month of stress

[fickle rampart]

Yupp 😅

[zenith willow]

He won candidates 2022?

[warm tartan]

He is world champ

[grim edge]

@graceful lintel

[zenith willow]

Why on Wikipedia it says some FIDE dude was #1?

[flint fox]

Who

[zenith willow]

Ian Nepo

[flint fox]

I thought ding won

[maiden mesa]

Lmao so for my uscf otb match, it was 25 mins with a delay of 5 seconds and there were two matches. But he played so awfully that I won them both in about 20 mins, for the first game I checkmated him in 15 moves and in the second I checkmated him in 25

[hasty iris]

it's good with commentary on broadcasts. in person live watching is tough cause there probabyl isnt any commentary in the playing hall

[zenith willow]

Apparently not? Why does it say FIDE for him?

[flint fox]

Show me match 2

[hasty iris]

link what you're looking at

[maiden mesa]

I was so scared but it was literally two of the easiest games of my life, all the moves popped out to me instantly since it was so easy (he kept hanging pieces) so the time was mostly me writing down my scorecard

[zenith willow]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidates_Tournament_2022

[hasty iris]

it's cause the device inside u was poppin too 👀

[maiden mesa]

Alright but it’s gonna be in chess notation in my bad handwriting, that ok?

[flint fox]

Ye sure

[hasty iris]

yeah he won the 2022 candidates

[maiden mesa]

Nah fr tho I crushed the kid, he was like 10 and left immediately after probably out of sadness LMAO

[zenith willow]

Why does it say FIDE next to him instead of a country?

[hasty iris]

ooh

because russia cannot compete

due to sanctions

[flint fox]

Why

[zenith willow]

Ah, yea I never agreed with punishing the players like that

[maiden mesa]

Sorry that’s the first game not the second

[flint fox]

I can read allat

[hasty iris]

? bro missed the war

[flint fox]

Oh

[void gate]

help how do i turn off event pings

[zenith willow]

The crime of being born in the wrong country apparently

[maiden mesa]

Cool, lmk my accuracy

[void gate]

or at least take it the event pings role off me

[hasty iris]

why did he play Bg5 there

[flint fox]

[maiden mesa]

Cause he was 140 elo, but when did he play that? What move number

[flint fox]

White played Bg5 on move 10

[maiden mesa]

Oh ye

Yeah honestly idk, I’ll give some more explanations for my moves when I get home and can input them to chess.com if you want

[flint fox]

I can input for u

[hasty iris]

dw i just played it in my head cause im a grandmaster

[maiden mesa]

Sure thx, can you make it a game link?

[fickle rampart]

Try !announcements or !privacy I think

[hasty iris]

nah fr i been practicing blindfold chess it's so fun

[void gate]

Nvm i got it off me but thank you though

[maiden mesa]

Oh yeah he showed up late cause his mother got lost so I was already up a 5 minute time advantage but I never came close to needing it since it was so easy lol

[fickle rampart]

Sorry, use / instead of exclamation point but ya

[hasty iris]

u making me feel worse for the kid

imagine u pay uscf fees, gas, parking fee, tournament fee, just to arrive late and get smacked

[maiden mesa]

The matches are weekly so he’ll have another shot, there’s no parking fee, the tournament fee is 5 dollars for 5 rounds (matches), and he arrived late but it didn’t even matter since I beat him with like 17 mins on his clock anyways

[pastel verge]

Fortinayte le babaji

[maiden mesa]

But yeah losing games badly is just part of tournament life honestly. On move nine he hung his queen and tried to move it after placing it down, he tried to move it to a square where it was still hanging but I had to tell him no, he took his hand off the piece and that’s that

[last verge]

i mean i did that at my first tournament

went 3/3 and most of my games (25d5) were done in <10 min

[hasty iris]

btw are there arbiters or is it really chill?

[hasty iris]

people OTB play so fast for no reason

[maiden mesa]

1 arbiter

[hasty iris]

actually same in rapid online

[digital phoenix]

mind games

[maiden mesa]

I just cracked under the time pressure my first match and this match I played fast since it was so easy

[last verge]

i mean my cc was like 10 times their uscf so i could afford to play fast but idk why they were playing like it was blitz

[digital phoenix]

imagine u take so long to think and opponent just blitzing moves

[hasty iris]

fully prepped premoves just to lose in 10 mins is wild

[maiden mesa]

That happened in the openings for me against him, especially when he played the wayward queen attack against my Vienna lmao

[hasty iris]

low elo moment

[last verge]

theres something intimidating about getting every move blitzed against you

[hasty iris]

fr these 400 rated players playing rapid like it's bullet

[flint fox]

@pine beacon how did white Rc8 in 14

[maiden mesa]

Like he was thinking but I know how to respond to that and it was trivial to win lol

[maiden mesa]

Idk. What’s the position where he’d be making that move?

[restive storm]

forget about that and just think of the position as objective as you can

[last verge]

mmmmm elo

@restive storm i got 61 in survival on my school chess club's account

[hasty iris]

weaksauce

[hasty iris]

jk but how does your school randomly have a public logged in account lol

[restive storm]

by the way I'm sort of the player that blitz everything but that's only until my opening theory ends

[maiden mesa]

Yeah what’s weird about that

[carmine isle]

We have a GM here

[last verge]

theres an account for when we host the club, ppl do puzzle rush and whatever

[flint fox]

How can white Rc8??

[maiden mesa]

You got some stuff wrong with the notation

[restive storm]

sometimes I get into a 10+0 I play 10 moves in a row so fast and then I spend 3 minutes on move 11 💀

[maiden mesa]

Idk, just gimme a bit. I just gotta get home and then I’ll do it

[hasty iris]

pretty cool. were u the one talking about the teacher bailing earlier today

[last verge]

[last verge]

probably not

[maiden mesa]

But it might have just been me making an error and it being rc1

[restive storm]

1 minute advantage out of the opening, 3 minute disadvantage at the start of the middlegame 👍

[hasty iris]

someone was saying their teacher wouldnt come to their chess club meeting to supervise so they couldnt run the club 😭

[maiden mesa]

My chess clubs arbiter is basically just some NM who organizes the whole thing, doesn’t really arbit (?) the games, but if there’s a dispute they can go to him but there really aren’t disputes

[honest drift]

Guys why I'm stuck at 699

[boreal sapphire]

[hasty iris]

if u think about it, 80 is terrible, thats like getting a 0 accuracy move every 5 moves

[bright folio]

[tight gull]

dynamite of a game

[tight gull]

not how it works

[bright folio]

[tight gull]

💀 bruh what

its like getting -80 accuracy every 10 moves

[maiden mesa]

that's not how it works

[hasty iris]

if u play 4 100% accuracy moves then make a 0% accuracy move then it will be 80% im a genius never wrong

my teacher told me i was special so i cant be wrong here

aww thats brutal actually. at least u farmed some great moves

[tight gull]

so if you play 8 100% accurate moves then you played 1 -80% accurate move then thats 80%

[maiden mesa]

lol never seen that before

[tight gull]

based

[maiden mesa]

second game wasnt as good but still pretty fine

[hasty iris]

just tested, dont think thats right cause i played 5 100% moves then 1 terrible blunder and it gave me 82.8 accuracy

not sure how this works tbh, i guess the blunder wasnt bad enough

[tight gull]

yes

its gotta be worse

[fluid kraken]

It means that both knights could’ve moved to g4 but the knight on the 3rd rank moved

[tight gull]

u doofus ur supposed to play 4 best moves then 1 blunder

[maiden mesa]

yeah i know what it means, just that its kind of a rare notation

[tight gull]

not 5 best moves

[fluid kraken]

Oh

The same thing with the letters

how does a 2300 blunder Nxf7

[pastel phoenix]

Lol

[tight gull]

??????????

[maiden mesa]

brutal

[hasty iris]

i tested that already....

[maiden mesa]

2300s are not perfect players and thats an entirely possible thing to miss

[pastel phoenix]

Idk

[hasty iris]

it gave me 62 percent

[tight gull]

true but thats not even my biggest worry

[maiden mesa]

anyone else unable to load up a game? it just doesnt load for me

[pastel phoenix]

Sure?

Ah yes

When you lose a pawn it’s an inaccuracy

When 2300s lose a pawn it’s a blunder

[azure sigil]

[pastel phoenix]

Huh?

I meant you

That’s for knight

So if you are playing as black and position go from -5.17 to +0.85 that's mean you may missed some winning move or blunder. I can be wrong so idk haha
