Pixel can I say the answer
no
|| One move wins ||
Wait I see horse is coming
Aii
youll prob get ut wrong too
If I didn't move to bishop
🤯

he see horse is coming
I get check if I eat
I'm 2840 puzzles ,and it's forced M
he get check if he eat
its not.

Oh bloody hell the bishop's on a dark square mb
@pliant cove so whats the move/
Can I guess?
sure
|| Be2 ||
No wait, I got the answer
Yea draw position Bishop to c6 queen to e4 Bishop take the g6
the mroe choas the better
only ogs remember me
Doesn't work, that what I thought at first
??????////////
Horse will check and eat bishop
ngl pixel, the way he's struggling is pretty realistic
there is no queen on the board
moo
but bro is making no sense
How exactly
I mean the king
Nr 2 is a study i believe
who are you 
well... he shouldnt have a nonexistant queen on the board
Nobody knows lol
Because knight is coming
Nvm
shush you've seen it before
They will check you and pick up your dark squared bishop
yeah well shut up oil man 😔 i’m a bison
why are you on ur alt
If you didn't move
I hallucinated there was a knight check after the bishop checks
capybara
King runs
my son is bi?
go stub a toe
Poor king
unfortunately
be nice
There's draw
it’s a bison u be nice
No way to defend the white bishop
ehh
After king take
more chance for him to find a partner ig
i suppose
I can't see image is all black
Bg4, it's not easy
filipino internet moment
Admittedly
ooh ik that one
Kd3 Bxg1 Nf3 u win the bishop back and mate will follow. Assuming u can mate with a bishop and knight lol
its impossible unless you use an engine or you are a master with half an hour to spare
Welp. Sadge
Oh that puzzle
mhm
Bruh I can't see image
Bg4 Bb6 wyd
its not in a puzzle rush
i remember getting a puzzle like that at 50
@peak plank dm
if there is somthing that difficult in a puzzle rush your insane
no way it would ever be 2800 rated
Look @peak plank
ik
Nope the bishop and knight mate technique , obviously I haven't calculated the whole thing, but the white king will get to f4 or f3 sometime in future
It was really underrated
calculate the whole thing first, it's not as easy as it looks
Knight covers dark squares, bishop covers white squares
Ain't no way bro there's like a billion combinations
Maybe by the time magnus retires I'll be on depth 5
only the line of most resistance
Bg4 Bb6
I'd say Kf3
the best feeling in chess
Bxg1
what role am i
Ahh idk what to do man
Im probably wrong anyway
Either way draw so ggs
OH OH OH
KF4
WHEN WE FORK, KING HAS TO COME CLOSE TO THE KNIGHT TO DEFEND IT
King can't be on f3 coz rhe knight will go there
KF4
clearly you saw something, tell the full line
I'm playing it out on the board, can't visualize it
OK after we go Bh3 to force the king away
And then pray we get the
@little root want battle
Bishop and knight endgame right
I'll lose

I accidentally see tricks chess
Copying move until they mis
the bot too strong
guys whats the best approach vs sicilian as white
Copying move

If they depending piece you must copy his move
So they think for your defense both parties benefits
Like China 🇨🇳

why does this random girl have 2.5 k viewers
she has like 4 streams
over 3 months
and shes like 800
oh wait 1100
a lot of passive viewers from being homepage
if i reach 1500 elo, i will start streaming on twitch
is it just me or is there just an influx of really bad chess (egirl?) streamers
idk
i see it on chesstv
i dont watch twitch
that exists?
the chess tv
oooh yeah i see it too
wow
shut up
Bruh
Almost 800 🤞
i wonder if those views come from people afking on chess com
do you not sleep bruh
Maybe 6 am and I go school 1pm
robots dont get tired 😔
witty alien
hes the romantic dude
so romantic ❤️
I wish I was 1000 elo
I wish I was 2000 elo

3000 elo.
Hi. Is it possible to go from 0 to 2500 in 1 week without any knowledge of chess?
uhh
ofcourse
I know the basics
its easy
gl with that 💀
it took me a year to get to 1800 lmao
well 9months
No
like if you are super good at shogi
i want to clap your cheeks
Ppl be making up stories abt how they reached 1k a few days after they picked up chess
No
And it's annoying af
Someone please end me I underestimated how much I needed to learn for my test tomorrow
i couldnt sleep for 6 months
you only need stockfish
thats gonna be me tomorrow
Chemistry?
OK?
Cause I need to learn over 100 word translations and figure out wtf a participle clause is
No one in my school studies English
i picked up chess like at 10 played a bit then stopped and i started at 1000
1000 is easy
Yeah a couple days is just a bad lie. 2 weeks is the believable minimum
Bullshit
No offense
starting at 1000 is totally realistic
I usually don't but it is what it is this time
1k in a 3 days is like the human limit
plenty of people do
nvm 900
I got 1k in one day
gg pro
Tf, so u created ur account at 1k, doesn't mean u wer at the level of 1k
I also got 2100 lichess in one day-
I'm horrible at chess
💀
but i didnt drop
3 days after learning chess? Nah
And u prob had previous exposure
nah this my 1st acc
And i went from 1200 cc to 2200 in 2 days
Do u know how to chess works?or the human brain. U scientifically can't start at 1k no matter how high ur IQ.
Says whom
He had prior chess experience
fyfttg
He denies that and it's annoying
Who cares
Anyone who doesn't just use their brain as decoration
i said i learned chess 6years ago played some tournaments at school, didnt play since and this year started at around 900
So you can’t be 1k as a new beginner?
Me
Sigma music literally ain't playing wen said that
Absolutely not
New player is 200-500
U said u started at 1k
@boreal cosmos @boreal cosmos want battle
U said that
With me
dude has 1.4k rapid games, dont accuse him of cheating he has suffered enough
Why ping me x2
Also why should i play you
For fun
some gifted players might be a bit higher maybe
And practice
Is it
Playing guys who made their acc today and 99% arent legit isnt fun. Also i dont play random people for no reason
Yes but thats average, i coach a few who are there
Talkin in terms of cc rapid strength
How is this even a conversation

Made a new account
Ye, funny
i went to 2400 in a week!
I'd say average starting if you are like 14 at least and not brain dead is 500-1000
Easy
yeah thats what i would say too
idk i was 900-1000 when i started
i will go to 2000 overnight
your peak is 2300 
No, starting to play chess wont get u 1k
trust
Im 2380 as we speak cc
I've seen people who I literally just taught the rules to play like a 1000
I made it to 2k ipcf
bro tyler1 is literally 1300 and people say its hard to hit 1000
yeah 1000 i think is a reasonable beginner point if someone has solid critical thinking
Just blundering a tactic losing a piece instead of not seeing it can be taken, or even just losing a few ponds
ponds
ponds
ponds
ponds
ponds
I started at around 1k as well
He played for hours on end, thousands of games. The effort
🦆
i prefer prawns ngl
pongs
basically this lol
pans
pawwn nya~
ok youre right
What is your least favorite opening
I bet its 1.e4
i didnt realise he had almost 3.2k rapids in almost 3 months 💀
Knight/E4/Polish Opening
To go from absolute nothing to 1k ain't easy unless you've got some background. Like I created my ac knowing how to mate with 2 rooks it was EZ from there
ITS 35 GAMES PER DAY
Anything dubious, from what i play tho maybe bg5 qa5 semislav cuz i need to memorize many engine lines and i forget them alot
Bro you suck so bad at rapid lmaooo
He built different
Failing to refute bad stuff always hurts 🤕
It's good when you playing 1000-2000 elo
I usually refute garbage always
yesterday i refuted some trash black move order in the alapin and it felt so good to get a clean win
You wanna see?
What was it
Playing Alapin from the black side is my favorite
why did you say thats your favorite opening then
I show u my favorite opening
i was white :)
I like alapin with white
Can get some real fights
e4 c5 c3 nf6 e5 nd5 nf3 e6 d4 nc6
legit no one plays nf6 or d5 against alapin
Nf6 Alapin feels great from the black side. How is it as white?
Good
I wish
i play the sideline where you delay d4
smooth
i always play 1.c6 for black no matter if its 1.d4 or 1.e4
Used to, now I just play open. I'm trash at openings. But surprisingly even at 2k ppl still fall for this pawn bait trap in the delayed alapin
its pretty solid as white, mainlines too
and i hope for a caro or a slav
why am I so crap at sandtris
I play different lines
its the strat
I playd that watermelon game and got 2700 first try
Not so hard afterall
Maybe cuz im quite good at 2048 also
2048 - just spam bottom and right until you get lucky
this is the best strat bc u have to learn mainly 2openings
tried 2048 for the first time in a year and got a new best
- g6 more like
Iirc my best is 100k+
No
i do
Agree to disagree
people play e4 in this position and its literally a caro
and if c4 its a slav which i also like

accelated panov
And then they play Bf4 and your position looks a little dumb
Hi
Someone suggest me a good server nickname
no
im fine with that
hey is it impolite to ping a mod here and ask if they find someones account suspicious
Hamlet
Yes
Caro ultra cringe
thought so

If you believe an account is suspicious, just report and move on
sicilian ultra cringe
yeah its just that he’s in the server
Good that I don't play the sicilian!
London is ultra cringe
extremely new account and 2700+ and beat a banned cheater
Caro kicks ass ngl
Doesn't matter
Sometimes
i know but i hate to face it anyway
horrible take😞
Does it though
what is a good approach vs sicilian
open
Open/delayed alapin
just play the open because a lot of anti Sicilian stuff has gone absolutely horrible for me lol
I don't understand why you would play the exchange caro as white
because it gives you an equal open game
I used to do it cuz I was lazy to study
as opposed to an annoying closed game
i play it as white bc i hate when people do it when i play black
plus its not theory heavy and perfectly fine as long as you dont like poop your pants
exchange caro leads to a boring game imo
How do you play against the Dragon? 🐲
Stay mad
Look at a yt video on the Rousseau gambit, thank me later
sword and armor
Kicks proper ass
Proper
MAROCZY BINDDDDDDDDD
i know it and its not good bruh
maroczy bind if accelerated dragon otherwise i cry
I love facing it cuz its so easy to punish
Besides the fact that ur technically losing wen u play it, it's still fire
omg hes my favorite philosopher
I recently started playing the maroczy bind OTB and I have yet to lose a game in it
bro thinks he made a social contract
i locked it in 🔥
maybe that's because ur smurfing
I DIDN'T SAY ACCEL BRUH
evans gambit is 🗿
maroczy bind is the worst fear of a dragon player
I hate it with every cell of mine
you really need to know your stuff in the dragon or it smothers you
i dont even know lmao
Bro is going to play c4 in the mainline Dragon and blunder his e pawn
maroczy bind is my favorite but thats why normal dragon avoids it
i loose
It's hard to punish unless u play all the best or <> moves. 8 studied a lot of of engine lines with the Rousseau, ppl don't know it
d4 and push pawn
Still
That's what 8 studied
i lost to it like once when i was 1400, learned it and never lost to it again
What section of your tournament are you in btw
hang ur e-pawn
D4 isn't a guaranteed win if ur opponent don't know wat they doing
Open... also it already finished
Today I played a game without mistakes on lichess
ah

lichess!??!!
TRY DOING THAT ON LICHESS
Uhhhhh
Sicilian Defense: Open; Dragon; Pixel Gambit
lichess elo try not to be more inflated than Venezuelan currency challenge (impossible)
They premove g6
Lichess puzzles are harder
it works so well
is it just me or is this position not even that horrible for white
how much does lichess elo differ from chess com
about 300 points and it catches up around 2200 i think
Facts
btw I play f3 there instead of c4 because prins can turn into a marozy
i faced like a 2100-2200 lichess otb what would he be on chesscom
1900
mid 1800?
D4 ain't a guarantee

2000 lichess is about 1600 OTB standard if youre a young player
Why would you admit to that
Ben Finegold will hunt you
1.f3 goated opening
im 1800 cc and 1600 otb in my country

lol yeah thats about the equivalent
ben finegold says never play f6 but not anything about f3 😉
He's says never play f3 All the time
playing a 1300 kid in a classical tournament:
but hes 2300 lichess and 9 years old
1.g4 e5 2.f3!! guarding the g4 pawn
bonglord recomends prins so ill take that
f3 brilliant
yeah but bonglord plays c4 e5 nc3 nf6 f4
i tried to go for II category (1800) but lost to a 2100cc guy that won that tournament like 3 times already
I'll make my kid a chess prodigy
prepare to be drained of all your money bro
fr lmao
I'm literally 800 otb in my country
lmao isnt there a cap at 1000
I wouldn't recommend
ik
in ecf terms i beat 1700-1800 players fairly consistently and am a little underrated in classical i think
I won't force him out nothing. I'll make him want to git gud
i just cant stand tournament halls theres far too much noise
cars outside chairs scraping coughing
ill become a cm, my son will become a fm and his son will become a gm
our dynasty shall prevail
horrible feeling, and when they come around with those cameras for the website
I wish I had started chess earlier. By now I'd be kicking ass for breakfast on a daily basis
My kid won't have that issue
honestly i love going to tournaments bc i meet many fun people
Real
i love the rapid tournament experience
standard is cool too
but classical requires such intense focus that its borderline impossible for me to play in a room that isnt completely silent
https://www.chess.com/game/live/93562719569
this is such a me game
I don't got the stamina or attention span

Hello
also whats funny about classical is one tiny lapse in focus can lose you a 4+ hour game
my 1st tournament was a rapid tournament with a cm 💀 i was like 1300 cc at the time and was playing 2000 otb players
worst feeling of all time
its a canon event to go into the open of a tournament accidentally and get washed
but i play only classical now
bro i was actually winning most of the rounds and drew a 1800
it was insane at that time for me
my only win in my first open event was against a 1779 who did not win a single game in that event
lmao
i was the lowest rated in the field by over 500 points
do you play fide?
because it was my second every and i didnt even have a rating
occasionally but my rating is yet to come through for standard
not sure why. ive played 12 games and its been over a month
i never played in a fide t ournament
most tournaments here in england are both ecf and fide rated thankfully
ecf exclusive tournaments are usually just rapidplay or team events, sometimes blitz
damn i wish i had it like that here
it is annoying to drive to the tournaments though. theyre all down south usually
we have either fide or psz/pcf tournaments
my parents usually cant take me to a lot of them so i pounce on any classical tournament 2 months in advance
NO! 
we usually dont stay in hotels because its only an hour drive or so
@viscid jacinth i am gonna start detoxing, wish me luck.
FIDE classical prizes here are about 1.5k
theres also sometimes brilliancy prize type things too
and you not even winning anything lmao
Or juniour prizes
pounds?
yes
you only get paid accommodation if you are a GM or something
OTB chess is a net loss for anyone except the top guys
but its like a ton of good players right
accommodation is paid if you were invited i believe
you play for experience and fun
yeah
yeah usually but it depends on the section
well yeah but you need to be a strong player
an U1800 field is of course weaker than the open, but there are the occasional sandbaggers or underrated people who havent played in a few years
tbh not really, especially not in rapid events
call me impact font the way i make that bottom text
when i was 1400 cc i was still performing well in rapid tournaments
ok
yeah but for the paid accomodation

3/5 is my sweet spot it seems lmao
yeah you need to be a master usually
i love the tournament experience of feeling nauseated up until i play the first move and spending 4 hours to make a draw
Truly one of the chess moments
who wants to play checkers
STOP STEALING MY MEMES VANDAL
OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY MEMEMEMEME MEEEEE
Fr?
i am fan 3000
nuh uh it's fun
:((((
im sorry i dont even know the rules
wdym
im gonna change my name in shame
YOU DON'T KNOW THE RULES FOR CHECKERS
i know that you have to capture but that game sucks. bridge op
I keep saying the f word without realizing it's banned here
the oppressive regime of chess.com doesnt believe in free speech
First amendment😔
cause i fuxking want to :)
to say wtf
or fricking say frick
i fricking want to say frick so bad
what the flip !
what the honk dude
what the bonk
ah fudge!
we all are gonna get funking timeouted
thats a forking shame
Wat does a chess website have to do with it tho? Ppl say the most out of the pocket stuff here all the time
and they get muted for it
I agree, the freak they want with banning my favorite word
For not talkin abt chess?
for saying out of pocket stuff
they get muted for it
Idk if we both mean the same thing we we say out of pocket
we do
Got that
"What the heck"
So if I just started talkin abt French fries, I'd get muted?
out of pocket = some down bad absurd stuff that you shouldnt be able to say
true
What the hell
what the fruck do you think we need it for
Oh, weird stuff
why would you want it in any situation
to funging be famous
no admins online, albert reigns supreme
U tell me mate
@keen parrot UK that feeling wen u talkin to someone and u picking up that they engaging u only outta pity? That dumb feeling
not really no
indeed
Hmm
lets ban the f word internationally
Do I have permission to be oily
i could still win but i ran out of time
How are do I deal with summing like that
I guess that is true
Looks like ggs to me
dunno man
Ye, she too nice to leave a mf likely me on read
it is because it's a 5 min game
under fide rules i think this is a draw
9+1
yeah you talked to her when we were together
Being pitied makes me feel sick
Wats the point of being 2k if u still gonna be looked down upon
man what are you yapping about💀
this was out of nowhere lmao

Hard to get a pairing
Boy
hi its me “Levy Rozman” . THE ROOOK! or whatever
Exactly
my boyfriend of 50 years broke up with me. i was devastated. i still am. sigh. i should prob date men when i turn 78
💀
Damn
50 years is crazy
1.f3 e5 2.g4
old round and ready to
🤨
Still waiting for y u asked G
engage in a lovely date where they feed the ducks at the park
;3
he owns big boats and said he only has three months to live. i was moved by his story so i dated him
something to consider
i know that youre a computer program but i feel a real spark between us. Im 83 years old
im 92 years old
THIS ISNT ABOUT YOU
cool! do you have big boats? until when are you gonna live?
IT IS
I have nine mega yachts which are essentially cities. We live in a hole in the ground
I put a tarp down, no water gets on us
a little weird and dark, but tell me, do you have at least three months on earth?
My dear, I am in a perpetual state of being near death and being immortal. To state when I am to die, would be as impossible as counting all of the atoms in the universe.
looks like the meal my ched cooked for me last night
my doctor s say i have 3 week . To live
Might be
Shits fire 🔥
hard pass. i am attracted to crinkly men who have big boats and at least three months to live
My shit does cause my ass to be on fire
be honest how many of you would just take the queen? 😂
Sorry i have like at least a year to live
Autocorrect. please love me
ping me three months before you leave
its a forced mate even if you take the queen which is very disrespectful lol
before i leave earth?
yes
@grim edge im having premonitions i think this might be my final few months
oh yeah xD theres nothing he can do anyway other than move his king 💀
okay we stop now, you will live until youre 90
Im gonna live for a 100 years (soon i will realise i will not see thirty)
i just won a great victory of biblical proportions
Debate: Do grades define your intelligence? Yes or No and state why
No
a lot of school is a measure of conscientiousness rather than raw intelligence imo
Ayo fellow psychology fan?
if you will test all the types of intelligence and box it into specific numbers, then yes
i take it at school loo
Ah makes sense, I have hardly encountered ppl using the term “conscientiousness”
school really just wants to teach you how to work hard and organize, which are skills in of themselves, but arent correlated to intelligence
im pretty sure theres actually a slight negative correlation between IQ and conscientiousness but I couldn’t give a source on that
food
I've seen very intelligent people waste their potential away alot
Yeah i suppose, but imo, the extent and rates of improvement on grades would be a measure of conscientiousness/ work ethic
Whereas raw performance potential in terms of sheer impressiveness would be limited by intelligence for the most part
intelligent people often tend to be lazy too
this is true for many reasons
also a lot of intelligent people are neurodivergent in some way, especially ADHD which can interfere with being organized for obvious reasojs
💯
it depends on the starting point
bro knows stuff
if you start at 0 and make your way to 65 through a week of hard work, there must also be natural talent too
I agree
but then again the ability to work hard and retain information unwillingly is a talent in of itself
I don't know how people consistently get A*s in everything
Yup, always awesome to see when someone can work flat out and improve at breakneck pace
Very motivating
i used to but it felt weird, so i made sure to only get Bs
a combination of high expectations, stress and lack of sleep lol
i get pretty average grades because I really can’t stand revision
Suffering from success

i cant force myself to concentrate on it
C is a very disliked grade by many people
could be talent too
C just seems... so... average
i think if you’re talented at literally everything you touch, it goes beyond talent
Do y’all think the term “talent” is essentially referring to“intelligence”?
A* in all subjects without much revision is borderline impossible
Not really
You can be remarkably talented at one thing and a complete moron in the rest of life
work is proportional to results
What would be the major difference?
the major difference is talent is a measure of raw ability at one subject, whereas intelligence is a broader term used to describe a mixture of mindset, natural talent and hard work
Hmm I think “complete moron” is a bit of a hyperbole though isn’t it?
i suppose so
people are just naturally better at different things
fischer called kasparov an idiot savant but thats not really appropriate to say because kasparov clearly isnt just a chessplayer
whats interesting to me is high level chess players political views
Okay, I suppose the term talent seems a bit ill-defined in various fields so it is a little confusing
its funny that people deemed conventionally intelligent can have some of the worst takes known to man
Because many ppl refer to different things when talking about talent
talent is natural ability at one particular subject
i think the definition supports that
Yeah mental health conditions can be a fascinating thing that drastically changes things
debate: talent > hard work?
I think the question is imperfect, both are crucial to be the best in any field 😂
hard work beats talent if talent is lazy
It is a loaded question
i see it as a line
Restricts the possibilities of our answers
talent has a head start but doesnt progress much from it because they feel they shouldnt have to work hard
I agree
who wants to stream puzzles?
a grinder has an average starting point and slowly will always pass someone naturally talented
omg, you also have the grindr app? welcome my boi
Similarly, if talented and hardworking, no one will be near that person because they will be in the stratosphere
comes down to a fixed mindset. if the talented individual is willing to work hard, at the same level, they should win over the hard worker
you cant get anywhere with just talent, many talented people go their entire lives without any form of recognition
So the key takeaway is to be born with both 💀
the key takeaway is to work hard on what you naturally enjoy and are good at
natural talent exists so that we all have jobs to do in my opinion
some are born to entertain and some are born to say work on cars
i have always wondered if it is still considered hard work if you love the field
i mean yeah
Because for some of my hobbies I have never considered it effortful
i love chess but opening preparation is still hard work
I mean it is because it's still effort
Despite spending all of my time
youre still putting effort in and getting results
I would do it even without getting paid or rewarded
hard, effort, work, effort for knowledge or profit
Because the training itself is fun
that is true passion
passion
its passion
Ohhh that’s interesting
passion is fuel to the fire for effort (in a good way)
you’re still working hard but you love it so much it doesnt feel that way
That is such a lucky state of being tbh
the queen on a6:
Qxf1 maintains an equalish game but is a nightmare for white to defend
It is
I think it also applies to just playing
If you love to play you will improve and keep your passion ongoing, they build on each other like talent and hard work do
bro is broke now
watermelon sugar high
Heck yeah compounding and accelerating progress

Still better than cr and brawl stars
Aguess, but that happens only once in a blue moon (bad hand + agro player + them having rg rage mini pekka)
It's the only game from those 3 where you don't experience getting fcked in real time and it happens while you're asleep
No bro It's better than cr.
I speak spanish but I understand English
Both can be true at the same time
Developing and growing a small village is just like raising your child. It leaves people with very good memories.
