Momo
On the marriage
Soup Dumplings
Too bad I didn't study in English schools

My bf hates my silent hill pfp 
Not on the fact that you’re not a professional chess player
because you're subtracting 9 from 7
And my bf hates chess 
Its called momo

I mean you said " chess player married" implying I'm a chess player. And not just a guy who also plays chess
ooooooo

Silent hill is goated
Yes I am a girl and I like boys
ok my dear sir/madam, i have to ask smth
fr
Are you gay
Truth
boy kisser
Oh ok
I’m straight
Dats gay
Real
This chat has never seen a girl IRL ignore them
If that’s gay then I am a queer
Just saying about the stereotype that chess is for nerds
Guys its a woman everyone run

Lol good reply
🐐

bro you're lucky we can't say racial slurs
I have the gay
What the hell man

Who let bro cook
Blitz?
Rate my checkmate fr
But what race am I?
i just said we can't dumbass

Yea but in theory what slur would you call me

I am the one who did it
Ok I’m listening to boards of Canada
the egg
I am on his rank
Since when is discord inherently for kids. Lol. Especially a chess one. It's not a Minecraft server
Damn
All i see in discord are 13, 14 or 17 year olds
I'm in a bodybuilding discord full of 30+ year old men
"13" you mean
12am gaming
hi e4
I asked u smth twice and u didn't replied
Didn't thought I'd get ignored by a 30y/o guy who behaves like 10 
What about 16 year olds?
The queen must have been quite hungry forgive her
They dont exist to me
He is prob 16
me next year:
Guess I don't exist
I don't reply to angry 15 year olds
Probably younger
A 16 yr old wouldnt brag about being 30
huh
I'm not angry
I just asked what's ur ratings
that's the egg
A 30 would say he is 30
almost at peak >_<
wow 👀
bro did NOT learn how babies are made😭 🙏
I am a lost boy from neverland
guys who use >_< are kinda cute
i learn but never see an egg image like that
~<
same ngl
You will be 30 
I normally would respect you cause you are older but... the pfp...
-_-
I had said them a long while ago in chat. I'm like 1810 bullet, 1680 blitz, 1750 rapid
Hate blitz
Understandable

Which is odd since it got popular in january 2020
Eh not to bad. I have a job working in corporate gyms, my wife's a Medical assistant going for nursing. Small apartment. Play chess.
Real
It's chill but my back hurts already
Can you change to a pfp of a well dressed, handsome and shredded guy(you)
How it should be at 30 yo
Western style emoticons are mostly written from left to right as though the head is rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees. One will most commonly see the eyes on the left, followed by the nose (often not included) and then the mouth
Its not
I mean why would you want me to do that
Yea 30y/o looks good
Seems like a hard job being a 30 y/o
link??
Thats not what Im trying to say hahahah

Hello magnus Carlos I am nikaru hakamura
Here is a complicated joke, only geniuses will get it-
Three logicians walk in a bar.
The bartender asks if they all want a beer.
First logician says, "I dont know"
Second logician says, "I dont know"
Third logician says, "Yes"
That's based on real incident 
Real
sad bro 😔
It's only for the billionaire's
hi
?
Only cause you cant see it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
u guys playing untitled tuesday too?
Not so genius huh

Third guys an alcoholic
Well i did in fact get a beer
Absolutely
<@&745328830649991179> real
It has a long explanation
Bully them kids.
Probably

Betray
I got bullied at school today for playing chess
Do you want me to explain the joke or live on with your life with freedom
Explain it
Idk r u from America?
Ew no
start a chess club
Explanation would be good
Bully them back for not playing chess
I dont need help. Ill drink pelinkovac to my heart's content
Then
isn't chess the cool kids game these days
plin wha-
yes
It always was
nice
i humiliated the cool kids back in school
Lowenbrau then, westoid 🤢
In chess
my school has like 0 bullies
ty, they're locked out
its uncomfortable
okay ig-
You wanna be bullied
I humiliated the guy who said he humiliated the cool kids back in school in chess
its weird how im not
Thank you 👍
yw 
Dawg

what if itwas a joke 

Time pass
You don't have any proof
Most likely was
!!
You dont joke here about that stuff
The bartender asked if ALL OF THEM wanted a beer.
First logician said "I dont know" because he didnt knew other two logicians wanted a beer.
Second logician said "I dont know" because he didnt knew if third logician wanted a beer, he knew first logician wanted a beer because if he didnt wanted a beer he would say "No" which would imply not all of them wanted a beer.
Third logician said "Yes" because he knew other two wanted a beer because if one of them didnt want a beer, they would simply say "No" since not all of them wanted a beer.@grim edge @silent quest @grim edge @forest quest
What if you are his fake acc
Nvm lets not talk abt him
i saw this on peter explain the joke
if i say yes, then i would probably get locked out too
Amazing
I already explained it dude
Also who tf is peter
I feel dumb for not getting it
That's better than getting a coach
More like blasphemy in front of the council will not be tolerated
yeah i just said i saw it there
I mean its like really really difficult to understand
Peter is a website???
How do I pass time
yeah but we dont word it like that
Your name is mysterious
Its pretty common sense type of question
👋
i guess
Its from a novel by dostoevsky crime and punishment
english tip, if you said didn't (already past tense) then you don't need "wanted" you can say "didn't want" but not "didn't wanted"
Ah it's a semantics thing
Wording
it's not semantics it's logic
Wouldn't say it's logical it's literally just a wording thing
its logical
It's a Grammer puzzle really
how is it wording thing
I would say its a grammar thingy
What do you mean. It's literally the first sentence
Anyone Blitz?
yes
i don't see how this isn't a logic joke
i mean surely some of the joke is grammar puzzle (first sentence) but most of it is logic
Ohk imma send link in dms
Wtf
It's not a logic joke imo. It's just a play on wording. He asks if they all want a beer. Instead of just asking what can I get for you guys

Check dms @willow elbow
I love discord cuz of these memes i can collect from everywhere and flex it in front of my gf like its a magic of some sort so stupid
The talk of the women creature intrigues thee
Rare imagery of Stockfish being confused
I gtg @willow elbow
I can flex in front of my gf too! (I dont have one and I never will)
bye bye 😊
Its more of dumb endeavour
The purpose is pretty obvious
Apologize for killing Gojo
Alright yall if everyone with anime, animals, or magnus pfps were banned in this discord how many people would be left here
What
Yes
Pretty much none
What tf wss that
Weebs are the worst
Alright choose
Weebs or nerds
ok guys so there is slight problem i have chess irl tournament on the 27th and i have not played chess in a while so it is not been going good anything i could do ?
They're the same
like 2 months
Play puzzlez
Not actually
(a+bi+cj)²=a²-b²-c²+2abi+2acj, when this equals yi+zj, a²-b²-c²=0, so a²=b²+c², a=√(b²+c²), 2ab=y, so 2b√(b²+c²)=y, 4b⁴+4c²b²=y², let's assume w=b², then 4w²+4c²w-y²=0, so w=(-4c²±√(16c⁴+16y²))/8, so b=√(-4c²±√(16c⁴+16y²))/8, 2ac=z, c=z/2a=z/2√(b²+c²)=z/2√((-4c²±√(16c⁴+16y²))/8+c²), c²=z²/(-16c²±4√(16c⁴+16y²))/8)=z²/(-4c²±√(16c⁴+16y²))/2=z²/(-4c²±4√(c⁴+y²))/2=z²/(-2c²±2√(c⁴+y²)), -2c⁴±2c²√(c⁴+y²)=z², z²+2c⁴=±2c⁴√(c⁴+y²), z⁴+4c⁸+4z²c⁴=4c¹²+4c⁸y²...
Oh hold on I need to take a break rq (I did the simplification correctly so far I think?)
JK I'm both though
Can you stop tho
But also not if you catch my drift
Tf dude this is chess discord
ok
Only thing I can solve is chess puzzles buddy
it's the proof for King vs King mate
I think ke7 is the correct choice
are you specialised only in complex numbers or sm
i think it is the reason why father left
Mostly, not only
Nah he forgot normal no so now he has to make do with only complex one's
He was weak not my fault
How did you even equate them?
Why is it -b² and -c²
iwanna pee
Math
i do not want to talk about math rn
Nexus event
Imagine doing math just to graduate and probably work at a chipotle
i sq is -1
vot else
me when i use a pointer
Cuz i² and j² equal -1 smartass

All kinds of stuff, maths in general (yes I know that's a lot, I'm just generally interested)
Bro I think you are bad in learning means in school
Where you from blud
Did you finger some avatars
Yea but guys. What is 10x10???
Add me in yo dc server scholar
Yo wanna play?
100
I'm not buying it
Ok but I want to talk with this guy @viscid jacinth for 5 min after that I will play with you....
Loli hen***
K
I thought it was meant as in b x i with i still needing to be solved for but ok
What. That's maki from JJk
Its expensive go for a cheap one
Nah 10 * 10 is loli hen***
Phhhhhh
Better than 4506 dollars salary every month ig
Ohhhhhh. Wait what. Still don't get it
Guys what’s the e4 response for black that has the least theory? Scandi?
What are you talking about
Weirdo
hmm yeah i think scandi

@viscid jacinth are you studying in school or CLG?
That has very much theory
Resign i think
Really? What if they play the Ruy?
School
Scandi but also still have to learn variations because there are bad traps against scandi where you can lose the game in like 5 moves
Sicilian most. Theory. Then French IMO. Then Carro. Then Scandi.
That's if the guy with black dk what he doin
How do I even solve for c in the last part? Anyone feeling like it? Cuz this is some real stuff
Yeah plus BDG if they go d4
@viscid jacinth wow you are studying in school and having a 1400 Elo it's so good when you go on university chess will help you
Plain variables there
@pallid plinth hello 👋
Wish I played chess when I was a teen.
Hey challenge me blitz not rated
My yser is thrasher7230
If I started chess as a kid I would be minimum an FM today.
I mean chess is not the best of my concerns
I’m 31 and my chess is terrible 😛 I just can’t convert advantages
Yes I have started now playing chess since 4 month and I m 2nd year in school
I startd taking chess seriously at like 24 lmfao.
If you practice it's best for you I think in 2 year you can easily get 2000 elo
Haha, better than 30 like I did!
I started around 4 months ago to
I am new too but I think playing a crapton of games helps
maki kya
nice ok
I'm turning 30 soon in 3 months. Was hoping to be like 2000 by now but here I am.
Gali
Love the London btw, won a cracking OTB game last night with the Jobava London
It’s a suprisingly effective opening tbh
I recently started learning jobava theory. It's really fun and aggressive
acha acha.... 👍
Ended up sacking the night to get a fork with the queen between his rook and a mate!
D4 gotta be the most annoying
India
Positional chess is good but it's boring
D4? Why not play the Dutch?
Just play kings Indian
Personal opinion
I have sent
where is the legend of chess
You know what's funny. I play only D4 as white. But when I'm black I HATE playing against 1 d4 players
I play kid
The Dutch is very tactical!
d4 is kinda annoying but kinda chill
My pen was leaking and i cant clean it until now
@lofty oracle SIR

I don't even have prep on d4 i just play what looks right
Even when playing the Dutch against it? That’s a super aggressive opening!
Dutch is so fun. But very very risky opening the king up like that
How so?
Where in india I actually know every place in india
Grunfeld
Dutch is a reverse Sicilian but because your play F6 your opening the kingside up
My dumb ass thinks I am playing queens gambit declined when i play Nimzo
Never had any trouble with 1d4 since playing the grunfeld
Play e6 first then you eliminate white’s most challenging responses
Himachal Pradesh
F6 is always risky in chess
Isn't that only against the queen's gambit
You gotta be prepared to respond to e4 with the French though
You can play Grunfeld against d4 c4 e4 setups basically like in kings Indian
Yeah but you get such a big attack
yeah but against london u can just play Nf6 c5 Qb6. And jobava just 3.c5. Nothing much needed for those two
Don't regret over past that's silly
I love playing against 1 e4. I play the French, Scandi, Carro
I used to play grunfeld when I was like 1400 but I forgot all the theory and moves lol
Against 1 d4 in like well time for a slav....
Yeah that’s why it’s better to play e4 and transpose to the Pirc, playing a 150 attack maybe
I love the caro
wy do you play all 3
Now I just play Nf3 and see what happens next
Budapest Gambit!
What's that
Grunfeld doesnt allow transposition into a pirc
long ahh fingers
It’s nimzo Indian except black plays e5 in the second move
You think when you get higher elo you'd know more theory lol
D4 nf6, c4, e5
buddapest gambit cant be played vs nf3
hell naw
That’s fine you can play the KID 🙂
why are all of ur options well... not good...
good, I can kingside attack
I do tho, maybe not U
He was so good in 1993
What, this looks so goofy how did I use to play that
Or the QID if you want more solid play
No I meant Budapest gambit wrong reply
byddapest gambit is nothing like the nimzo
So what's the grunfeld
there are much different ideas in the buddapest
Not at all the Nimzo is super solid
bast plays it, ask him
The Budapest is aggressive
d4 Nf6 c4 g6 Nc3 d5
Grunfeld is kind of queens gambit declined + kings Indian
Bruh
Sorry for leaving in middle of the game 😔
I went for family dinner stuff
Oh
Best response to D4 by miles is the English defense in my opinion
Looks goofy
It isn’t, white can even return the pawn and get a very good position
Providing they play C4
If Nf3 then Bg7 and play d5 eventually
wtf is that
Wtf all 3 of those are literally high level openings lmao. Maybe the Scandi less so. The French and Carro are both played all the way to super GM level
Its one of the best defences for black
Nf6 is best ig
D4 E6 C4 B6
nf6
king's indian is superior
I used to play it but looking back at it, it isn't my playstylr at all
Old benoni
Nimzo + queens Indian
It’s like a queen’s Indian and a Nimzo put together
its fine, but you prob should stick to one opening

or maybe 2 vs e4
Sadge. Its one of my favorites
But isn’t it just the queens Indian
I suggest one opening until you are high rated enough that people prep vs you OTB
stick to one.
Na
I don't like how white gets the bwc
No the QID has nf6 first and is a lot less active
also why tf does nobody talk about e5
Should I start playing Caro kann?
what the heak is wrong with e5 in responce to e4
Or learn Sicilian
And I don't usually like fianchettoing my bishop
I didn't ask for you suggestions. You also don't know my rating lol.
whatever you perfer
risky
You’ll need to learn all the anti Sicilians that’s the trouble

Englund gambit is utter bs
issok
how was the dinner? 😋
how
Because e5 just allows 1 e4 players to play there openings without any issues
its legit the top move
It was good 😋
lmao what city skylines 2 just released and it's price increased by 25%
???????
cant control what happens after e5
It's just goofy but it's definitely playable
is that suppoused to be a problem?
Understandable. Guessing you dont like KID and QID either
?
Only the main ones though! (Alapin, Grand Prix attack, closed Sicilian etc)
nice
padhle fir abhi
You only need one varation vs the ruy, italian, and scotch
yeah gets me scared because im unfamiliar with that structure
you get to choose ur pet line vs each of thoese openings
been an e6 player forever
But the main line with Queen check is a lot better for white
It’s trappy but it’s only trappy and not objectively solid
If someone is an Italian opening player, if you play e5, that is literally playing into where they are comfortable. If you for example play 1 e4 e6 French, they physically cannot play the Italian
Why not just play hippo on both sides for everything? 😛
I used to play the KID but I really began hating it but now I play nimzo against the Qg but if I can't I usually play a QID but I don't know the theory to it
okay. Im down to play into an italian, whats wrong with that? aint that right? @normal hatch
Same lol
rate my girl 1/10
I dont give a shit if they want an italian or not
That's not what I'm saying. E5 is a perfect response to e4. But did you miss my point?
shut the f up
Playing bullet competitively on chesscom is so bad
Sick, I used to play Nimzo aswell, I tried the KID but got destroyed
.
The queen check one is just bad it only works in low elos but just being a pawn down in the opening and playing it normally isn't bad
I get it. but you dont need to try to avoid playing into what your opponent wants
There's a reason people play the Sicilian and it scores the best against 1 e4. Because it's creates an imbalance immediately and takes 1 e4 players out of the opemingn
1 or 2
Yeah that’s true
whos hotter
Never saw another line though
Im sure u wont end up getting flagged. Surely not
1
Me after seeing your drawing
2 lowkey looks manly foreal
@pallid plinth gg
the Alekhine Defense has a higher winrate, that doesnt mean its good
my reaction
Ehhh just too skinny for me
you dont need to worry about going into what your opponent likes its okay
@pallid plinth I m going offline now

its not all of chess
K
Anyone wanna play blitz???
When I was hating on the englund gambit (I was like 1500) a 1800 challenged me and he played 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Qe7 and proceeded to butcher me cause 1 pawn misplaced wasn't enough for me to win
It doesn’t actually take players out of theory, everyone I know who plays e4 prepares against Sicilian the most
Are you literally arguing the Sicilian defence isn't good lol
Not out of theory
I was saying out of there opening.
where did I saw that
Ohhhh
Me, a sicilian player not knowing sicilian theory 
my friend sent me that ip address thing with bug in yt and thought i would believe is mine bro.
What Sicilian to you play
You compared the alekine saying that doesn't mean it's good
alekhine is good
To the Sicilian when it's widely known the Sicilian is the best response to 1 e4
I said the Alekhine aint good
I just played an 1800 that played the alekhine and butchered him
Najdorf
four pawns attack is cool though
What you the highest you can go without ever learning theory and openings
3200
Best? No
legit any
The best response is e5
Sicilian is an amazing opening, i love it
9999 elo
I got about a 55% win rate with it
I hate it
But brooo in the alekhine four pawns the knight on b6 is so annoying cuz i cant move my light square bishop without losing c4
tf you mean?
Still tons of theory
And aggressive too
Oh let me check my win rate
Pretty high. Prob 1800, u can get higher but it’ll get a bit rocky from 1.8k
maroczy bind
Yeah providing you have the time to study all the anti Sicilians, plus variations in the open Sicilian - that’s a huge undertaking and for busy people with kids, jobs and wives to please it’s not an option really 😛
Pixel stop acting like Maroczy Bind refutes Sicilian
its a good weapon tho
@cobalt plover I have 56% win rate 11% draw rate 33% lose rate
Oh yea I agree. With that. I was talking more so just in general for the argument he made of " why not play 1 E5" against e4.
Yeah I’m 1600 no one at my level even know how to pronounce that
Same way Rossolimo is good, its annoying but it definitely doesnt guarantee a W
Nice
With black I have 59% win rate
14% draw rate
Wild I rarely ever lose with black
Nc6 against e4 aint really smth
My draw rate is 5%
mine is 10%
@peak plank Here's my question. Why are top master level players playing Sicilian, French, Carro, Scandi, etc at all if you think 1 e4, E5 is all that is needed?
My stalemate rate is higher than draw probably
KID etc
Top level players also play e5, your point?
Modern
Actually e5 is the second in line after the Sicilian
Create inbalance
Higher elo + higher time control = higher draw rate
Well we aren't top masters
It’s fun !
my draw rate OTB is like, 20%
No your original point was why aren't people playing 1 e5. But now you claim they are playing 1 e5. I never said they weren't. I was explaining why playing the other openings ALSO makes sense.
If everyone just played e4 e5, it would be analyzed the shit out of and draws would be more common
Maybe I should stop playing king's gambit but it's too fun
my original point is there is nothing wrong with playing e5
Point
gms after playing the mainline of the Najdorf for the 60th time
It is if you have the time to study it and your opponents play into it properly - beginners won’t
I said talk about e5, not play it
That’s why I switched to the scandi, it works on all levels
Symmetry sucks balls
Ah a fellow king's Gambit enjoyer
e5 fights for the center
e5 is not symmetrical. Unless ur playing 4N
Yeah? So does d5?
The chess staff need to make it so that percentile tells you what percentile of players you are of players that played in the last month
Do you understand chess? C5 directly challenged the center as well
e5 haters judging it without having tried it smh
e4 e5 is literally symmetry mf
It does
Cause I don't believe I'm top 0.1%
D5 guarantees that white won’t get a good center ever
What how, 1900 shouldn't be top 0.1%
one move
Also things like hyper modern play where you.dont directly fight for the center with pawns is normal these days. We aren't playing 1800s romantic era chess only anymore.
It challenges 1 sqaure. the d4 sqaure. e5 occupies the center and challenges that sqaure
nobody plays french top level because it's generally quite easy for white to play
And one move changes everything
a6 op
maybe mvl
e5 helps with two squares in the center and opens the queen and bishop. So does e4. That’s “why” they are most likely best
in blitz...
Hyper modern play only works if you’re playing someone who can’t hold down a good center
Dingus
Otherwise they steamroll you!
There are GMs that only play the modern for example
You do not know how many u1100s just play rapid and nothing else
U don’t understand it
name one
Yeah but mere mortals are another matter 😛
🚬
Sicilian, e5, French and Caro are top 4 responses against e4
Which is what we are!
e4 e5 is symmetrical but aight
Wtf average rating in rapid is 650.21 elo 💀💀💀
there can mbe a lot of imbalance
I'm done talking to you. You seem to be missing my point altogether so what are we even debating lol. In your mind everybody should just play 1 e4 e5 or 2 d4, d5 every single chess game played lol
there's kind of a difference between e5 and the rest of those cause e5 can lead to many vastly different things imo
why tf are you assuming what I think
guys
Apparently 62 million people play on cc
whats the biggest blunder yall done?
Can we all calm down please?
I'm top 25k 
e4 e5 is like a semi blank slate, it can still be something else
There are so many
true
Worst one
No !
Why?
being born
im still surprised e6 is among top 4 most popular
Every time I've hung m1
You don't even remember why this debate started. You said the Carro and French are trash openings
Idk this is fun
When the Carro and French are objectively good.
caro and french are fine
in master level games or what database? @grim edge
bro my blunder was walking my queen into fork
scandi isnt.
Well the statistics say otherwise - Keith Arkell gets good results with both!
I just quoted you bro lmfao
what opening yall do
Look up you said they aren't good
Chess.com explorer
I was moreso referring to the scandi
also french is refuted at engine level but otherwise fine
The Scandi’s not the best opening I agree but it’s still respected
does that include everyone on chess.com or only master level idk
I named 3 options and you said all 3 are " not good"
Like the Dutch is
you know fishers responce when he faced the scandi?
Master level, otherwise numbers would be like "8383958483839"
D4? 😛
Lol
right
Noice
Wtf
You're stupid

Nah he said it wasn’t an opening
why c5 is double e5 🤯
Playing Scandi against Fischer would be like accepting the KG against Paul Morphy
Average non-e5 player
The opening was created about 500 years before he was born 😛
can go wrong soooo fast
Because it's better lol
new peak
100 elo tilt
nah
Sf says otherwise
Both are draws regardless
lol lucky
lol unlucky
whatever

Honestly feels so good being a 1 d4 player anyway and not dealing with Sicilian, Scandi, French, Carro, lol. Sure there are things like the benoni and englund gambit.
But they actually suck objectively
:3c
The Benoni doesn’t
wait for the grünfeld
unless you really play the london
smh
The Benoni is brilliant!
Idk bro benoni seems like a bad gambit if white just plays correct lol
idrc if my opponent plays the london because the london is so passive
benoni is not a gambit
Grunfeld players
(me)
I said seems like one.
stop cheating
(don't mind the cheater guy, he got banned mid game)
Not the Jobava london! That’s quite aggressive 🙂

thats fine
Also I play more Queens gambit these days than London but keep the name for haters to cry
d4 Nf6 Nc3 d5 Bf4 c5 and the Jobava is not a threat
c5 against the jobava 
What about the guy you lost to?
Levy ushered in the Vienna boys
tilt
C5 is easily met by C3 then either take C5 or wait for them to take you
Man I hate blitz so much
Damm. It's been a while. How are you Bast?
I recently joined the server, I linked my Discord to Chess.com but I still can't talk in VC...
What's going on?
you owe me 3 games
The whole point of nf3 is to counter C5
If you hit 2100 I’ll go for 2200 on my alt :>
blitz is very relaxing
🤔
hayah
exams this week
going well so far
good luck
Counter strike exam
How was ur tourney bast?
then some arithmetics and linear algebra easy stuff on Thursday and done
OTB one
Nice job
good. any draws?
I need an excuse to push rapid
yeah last week
ha
well I am
completely ripped off a draw
I have a doubt regarding a rule. can u clear that doubt bast?
Hello friends.
We love
lmao

(ignore the score)
My doubt is: People under the age of 13 are allowed on cc? Ig they should play on chesskid.
This kid is good at chess he is 1200+ at the age of 6
ever played vs Iris Li?
you lost 12 times to him 
yes they are allowed as long as their parents sign the parental consent form
I am 1000 and he is 1200+
6 years old 1200 nice
oh not bad!
