[dusty charm]

honestly i havent played for the longest time i probably should

[faint bear]

but halloween gambit is blunering a piece on move 3 right?

[solid cairn]

No

[native axle]

Why is lichess' rating system so shitty?

[native axle]

It is yes

[faint bear]

its not, above 2100 they are bout the same

[finite jasper]

[dusty charm]

its just different lmao

[kind geyser]

It is true on master level :d

[solid cairn]

No, i learned how to do it successfully

[faint bear]

teach me master

[native axle]

They get too selfish with those rating points

[kind geyser]

But it works at lower level (I think)

[faint bear]

lichess is the same above 2100 but isnt it?

[finite jasper]

giving up a piece in the opening sometimes works at master level

[faint bear]

its said to be

[finite jasper]

i've seen GMs winning with the jerome

[native axle]

Let's play that

[faint bear]

if by works you mean to lose in 20 moves

send me the link for da game

[faint bear]

for that one

[finite jasper]

Lol I said sometimes

[faint bear]

what happened

[covert cosmos]

magnus carlsen

[finite jasper]

Aman Hambleton with the jerome gambit

[faint bear]

true, the opponent might die mid game

[kind geyser]

Or you can bribe them

[finite jasper]

Also Aman Hambleton beating a GM who blundered with 6. Bc3?? In the englund gambit

[faint bear]

[finite jasper]

In titled tuesday, no less

[finite jasper]

Are you unbanned now?

[fiery beacon]

[kind geyser]

Why did you get banned from here lol

[faint bear]

[finite jasper]

Why is bro admitting to being ip banned

[faint bear]

i dont care 💀

[young pagoda]

Hopefully the mods are not looking or you are fu**ed

[finite jasper]

🤷‍♀️

[faint bear]

i havent done anything bad, i just defended my opinion

if its a bannable offence ban me again

[young pagoda]

Which was?

[finite jasper]

What was your opinion?

[kind geyser]

About what :d

[grim edge]

W

[faint bear]

idk, something about racism, so I kinda deserved it 💀

[kind geyser]

I think you should defend your opinion about something like slavery to get banned lol

[solid cairn]

i am gonna play the halloween gambit in the tournament

[finite jasper]

Ban-dodging IS a bannable offense 😭

[finite jasper]

Bruhhhh

[faint bear]

[restive storm]

you can't ask a question and do it in the question

[echo kestrel]

Wow @dapper lily what a loser you are

[grim edge]

it's against someone who is 200 elo higher than i am and it only took 21 moves

[restive storm]

it'll destroy the universe

[young pagoda]

How do you accidentally ping the mods 😂

[echo kestrel]

Ahh not bad

[stable mirage]

thats what they said about the princess

[supple delta]

Wait what's going on?

[young pagoda]

You dodged the bullet by .1 centimeters

[supple delta]

Like he was playing one of the member from this server and found cheating?

[echo kestrel]

Yeah

[young pagoda]

My bad, I almost killed you by hitting you with a baseball bat as hard as I can

[supple delta]

Wtf!! I mean that's crazy

[grim edge]

ig this is the craziest game i ever had and it's against a 1700

[grim edge]

I slipped

[faint bear]

i had once 99% accuracy in a 30 something moves long game

[supple delta]

Wow 60 moves against a 1700 good

[faint bear]

I was sweating after the review

[last verge]

1700s suck

[grim edge]

My elo is 1 therefore I am in first place and the best

[echo kestrel]

Yess

[faint bear]

I would put my money on myself if i was a piece down against a 2000 chess.com rated from move 1

[supple delta]

Good job, I cant even survive 20+ moves against 1400 😅

[stable mirage]

ok mittens

[grim edge]

mmmm wasnt rly worth it

[echo kestrel]

Lol my opponent resigned here

[stable mirage]

in bullet or blitz

[young pagoda]

Actually, my Elo is -1, and that is the amount of braincells you have after reading this

I'm hoping to become a grandmaster before college so I gotta train HARD

[supple delta]

Surely

[young pagoda]

And he sacrifices

[faint bear]

a 12 yo indian gm

[kind geyser]

What is your title now

[young pagoda]

What’s ur rating rn

[grim edge]

insert levy babble noises

[echo kestrel]

What's your age and rating?

[median saffron]

bro got opps for htat

[grim edge]

Online it's 950 but over the board it's 1400

[supple delta]

Yeah, and imagine playing a next gen Magnus without knowing

[stable mirage]

even the 7 year olds are crazy strong 💀

[echo kestrel]

What's your age?

[young pagoda]

How old are you?

[median saffron]

i pushed 1700 fide this weekend

[faint bear]

im playing on an otb tournament, there a dude, 12 yo and 2400 fide

[echo kestrel]

I will put my life savings on the fact that you don't get it

[supple delta]

I've seen but I refuse to believe cause it hurts my feelings 😥😥

[echo kestrel]

1400 to 2500 in 4 years is actually impossible

[faint bear]

he needs hard work

[kind crag]

don't be greedy kids

[young pagoda]

Sorry to say but very unlikely you even get titled

[echo kestrel]

Especially since you're 900

[stable mirage]

probably overrated 1400 too

[echo kestrel]

online

[faint bear]

im sure its possible

[grim edge]

Thanks for the support 👍

[supple delta]

Broo, seriously how the f.. they do that 😅

[echo kestrel]

No shot in the whole world

[native axle]

Oi

[faint bear]

Iv seen ever bigger jumps

[echo kestrel]

Yeah for real. If he's 1400 otb and 900 online he's insane overrated

[faint bear]

iv seen a dude being 10 yo unrated and 12 IM

[grim edge]

: (

[faint bear]

so i think its possible

[native axle]

Damn

[echo kestrel]

They cheated LOL

[faint bear]

idk, but they should teach me the secret

[native axle]

And i can't get over 1600 since like 1-2 months

[maiden mesa]

you are severely underestimating the strength it takes to become a gm, even if you dedicated every free waking hour from now till college you most certainly wouldnt get it

[young pagoda]

Go on the grind

[young pagoda]

True

[echo kestrel]

The only time I've ever gained +400 in 2 weeks (actually did once) was in bullet when I hadn't played for months so I was way underrated anyways

[faint bear]

probbaly it took 10 hours of daily work

[grim edge]

That's not gonna stop me from trying

[faint bear]

i've gained -400 in a month online, is that good?

[maiden mesa]

you're just gonna set yourself up for failure

[supple delta]

I guess one of the ingredient is to be born with chess brain 😅

[stable mirage]

have fun

[pallid plinth]

Yes

Super

[faint bear]

the secret ingredient is crime

[young pagoda]

You could get nm realistically after college

[restive storm]

bro thinks he's hans niemann

[young pagoda]

Holy moly

[median saffron]

i mean he can get CM lol

[faint bear]

@grim edge you can be a gm, if you work and think about chess instead of doing anything else in your freetime 10 hours a day with passion and love

[maiden mesa]

even that would take an unbelievable amount of work, and even then the difference between NM and GM is colossal

[median saffron]

even my 0 iq ahh is getting there

[young pagoda]

“Chess speaks for itself”

[young pagoda]

Agreed.

[echo kestrel]

That's rapid though, he's still an absolute noob in blitz

[echo kestrel]

Fr

[kind geyser]

And have a money source so you don't have to work

[stable mirage]

bea

[supple delta]

I started chess at 2021 and really started seriously at mid 2022 or something like that, never been higher then 1400 ☹

[maiden mesa]

like if you're, idk, 700 a goal of like 1500 is far better than GM

[echo kestrel]

I'm literally 17 and 2150 online and my goal is to get titled before 18 and I still don't even know if that's possible

[young pagoda]

Even then, some people’s brains don’t work like that

[supple delta]

I did get 1500 rapid but a lot soo much I'm 1400 now

[pallid plinth]

Fr that's kinda sad tbh feel bad

[faint bear]

nice progression

blitz is true skill

[young pagoda]

No. Rapid is more impressive

[supple delta]

Oi stop that 😅

[echo kestrel]

LOL rapid is 100% not more impressive than a high blitz

[lime lava]

agree

[faint bear]

I would say, you have to solve a lot of puzzles to have the patterns, and than the next step is to.. idk lol

[kind geyser]

Blitz is too fast to think and too slow to not think

[finite jasper]

Coherent

[echo kestrel]

High rapid is literally so easy to get.

People with 1800 rapid ratings play 10X worse than people with 1800 blitz ratings

[young pagoda]

Rapid requires more thinking beyond 1500

[echo kestrel]

Someone back me up on that

[faint bear]

blitz is harder than rapid, but also harder for your opponent

[wild wing]

Exactly

[lime lava]

thats why its hard and impressive

[echo kestrel]

Exactly

[stable mirage]

in rapid

[echo kestrel]

10X worse in rapid

[faint bear]

rapid is more effective than blitz, but if you wont take it seriously it doesnt matter

[echo kestrel]

1800 rapid is way worse than 1800 blitz 100%

[young pagoda]

Bullet: “Am I a joke to you?”

[faint bear]

im worse in rapid cause i dont wanna think in an online game

[kind geyser]

In which tempo

[echo kestrel]

Bullet people are different

[stable mirage]

bullet scale is way different

[supple delta]

Yeah I do that in lichess
But when it comes to the actual game my brain just stops working
I think every chess player has some weakness but I cant deal with mine yet

[faint bear]

bullet is best

[young pagoda]

I play rapid more seriously than blitz

[echo kestrel]

What?

[faint bear]

dude, why you actin like that

[echo kestrel]

That's exactly why there's only a few hundred people over 2300 rapid but thousands over 2300 blitz lol

[kind geyser]

For saying better you should say something like in 10+0 or in 5+0 :d

[faint bear]

do you have a coach? you could find someone who tells you where you are weak

[echo kestrel]

I'm 2100 rapid and in the top 0.01%, but it doesn't feel like it

[lime lava]

no one cares about rapid* I think I didnt say it the right way haha

[stable mirage]

also not wanting to play cheaters every other game

[supple delta]

I feel like rapid is the best cause I'm bad at everything lol

[young pagoda]

Exactly.

[echo kestrel]

I'm top 0.01% in rapid yet not even top 0.1% in blitz and I'm higher rated in blitz

[faint bear]

I see what happened :DDDD

[echo kestrel]

Therefore rapid is garbage

[supple delta]

I absolutely dont have a coach

[restive storm]

imagine no rapid 2300
when I grinded 2200 to 2300 I almost found no cheaters

[compact mantle]

im about to try it

[supple delta]

Did you have any coach ?

[lime lava]

1045. Rg7 1046.Bf6 1047.Ra7 1048.Re5 1049.Rxb5 1050. I cant see the board ;/

[faint bear]

i still have coaches

[kind geyser]

It is 3 am here and I will wake up at 7

Oops it is 4 hours not 6 lol

[young pagoda]

It’s funnier than any comedian ever possible

[supple delta]

And you did you have any coach?

[faint bear]

true, the way he yells

[echo kestrel]

Nah I haven't had a coach in like 4-5 years

[young pagoda]

GTE is so stupid, he guesses like 300 and they are magnus vs hikaru

[supple delta]

Really, you pay them lots of money then cause they must be atleast 2400 right ?

[faint bear]

gms

[grim edge]

@solid cairn my bad i slept hella late

[faint bear]

i mean, im 2200 so it makes no sense to have a coach below 2400

[supple delta]

Daam that's premium teaching experience

[lime lava]

whats wrong?

[kind geyser]

Title doesn't mean they are good teachers lol :d

[young pagoda]

Yo what time zones are y’all in some of you are saying its 3 am and for some of you it’s noon

[supple delta]

You been playing for how long ?

[kind geyser]

Title means they are (or were) good players

[faint bear]

exactly, i know a very strong gm, who is a bad teacher

[young pagoda]

Magnus would suck at teaching

[green jungle]

black resigned here (We both thought it was resignable) (it isnt)

[faint bear]

i think so

[lime lava]

Now you will correct what I did wrong you weakling

start

[faint bear]

Tho i would love a class with him 😄

[supple delta]

Indeed

[green jungle]

you know this because

[faint bear]

he thinks

[green jungle]

jsut because someone isn't good at teaching doesn't make them bad at teaching

[supple delta]

But the tells things in such a simple way its soo easy to understand

[green jungle]

they can be average

[primal shore]

hasn't magnus said he's a bad teacher

[faint bear]

bruh?

[faint bear]

he said i think

[supple delta]

Hello

[kind geyser]

What is the engine line here :d

[green jungle]

Be6 lol

[faint bear]

Caruana dark archangel is op

[hushed shuttle]

very true

[green jungle]

if i didn't know who caruana was id say this sounds like a sick song title

[young pagoda]

His brain works much differently than the average person

[faint bear]

😂

[supple delta]

I've seen magnus telling why he played a certain move, his word is simple and easy to understand atleast when he is explaining

[supple delta]

His brain works in 4D

[faint bear]

but he speaks slowly, and in a strange way

[young pagoda]

I’ve seen him in interviews saying the right move literally pops into his head

[green jungle]

this is some next level bullshit

[supple delta]

Yeah like he kinda stutter a little bit

[green jungle]

because he is norwegian, probably

not a native english speaker

[faint bear]

im not either, but i speak qucikly

[primal shore]

it's all memory recognition

[young pagoda]

That’s not true

[faint bear]

i think he is just so deep in his thoughts he doesnt realise he is slow

[primal shore]

It's why 5 year olds who can't form full sentences can be so good

[young pagoda]

That’s impossible

[supple delta]

He the Main character

[green jungle]

it's quick thinking and a lot of pattern recognition

the pattern pops into the mind first and then you calculate the moves

[young pagoda]

That’s not how it works

[grim edge]

@native axle im 770 do you want to play rapid unrated?

[primal shore]

The way stockfish works is literally pattern recognition and comparison

[faint bear]

bruhh thats nice

[young pagoda]

Yes but stockfish is a computer and plays very differently

[native axle]

In a game rn with servuschef dahlia

[young pagoda]

Stockfish is also 4500

[green jungle]

im sorry but for the one you solved the queen just captures it

[primal shore]

Stockfish ain't close to 4500

[faint bear]

i cant see number 3 either

[supple delta]

Yeah, but its soo hard to build chess AI I've tried it once and failed

[primal shore]

Stockfish estimated rating is like 3800

[green jungle]

unless you see what to do if they capture it

[faint bear]

im so bad

[ruby igloo]

yes sir

[young pagoda]

Ok I exaggerated a bit the point is that it’s much higher rated

[faint bear]

thats something you dont calculate at all

[ruby igloo]

i know but i set him up

[primal shore]

yea because a machine has 'perfect' pattern recognition compared to humans

[faint bear]

i mean it doesnt really make sense to argue about stockfish strength, i think the 3600 elo is rather symbolic

[young pagoda]

That’s not very hard to see if you are over 1000

[faint bear]

no really, i am sweating but cant see it

[young pagoda]

Correct, and magnus is still human

[ruby igloo]

yeah but i planned it like a few moves ago

[compact mantle]

The one in top right is Rd5+ Rxd5 Nc4#

[kind geyser]

Isn't it just Rd5

[primal shore]

yes exactly, you agree.

[faint bear]

oh, Bf6 okay

[young pagoda]

That’s different then

[primal shore]

It's all just pattern recognition, at that level at least

[lime lava]

I literally told you the answers, you said they are wrong YOU DIDNT EVEN LOOK AT WHAT I WROTE

[faint bear]

next one could be Bf6 right?

[stable mirage]

tf is #3

[faint bear]

Bf6 i think

[young pagoda]

It’s more looking at what his opponent will do and what is best for the position

[stable mirage]

oh damn

yeah that works nice

[faint bear]

it took me a while, i felt like im so bad at chess

[primal shore]

Yes but the way you do that at such speed is entirely pattern recognition

[compact mantle]

Bf6 yes

[stable mirage]

idk why the other 3 are so easy though

[young pagoda]

You know he has literally 2 and a half hours or more per game

[compact mantle]

Bc they are rook sacs

[ruby igloo]

i was just assuming he was gonna castle cuz i just wanted pressure on the knight on f with my dark bishop and open rook (i was using my special gambit against caro-kann) then i know some tricks in caro kann where white sometimes sacs knight on f7 and black player thinks hes safe cuz he put a pawn chain on e6 to block light square bishop so I moved my queen one square and my opponent didn't realise what moving queen to e file actually does 😂

[compact mantle]

Not the first one ig

[stable mirage]

I mean why wouldnt they put a fourth rook sac if they were going to give 3 easy puzzles

[supple delta]

And I sacrificed my Rooooook

[compact mantle]

Nah they usually have a curveball ngl

[young pagoda]

What’s ur elo and what time control was that

[faint bear]

send us some more @grim edge

[severe oxide]

Guess the flag

[compact mantle]

Most chess books have that one irregular chess puzzle

[lime lava]

angola

[young pagoda]

Armenia

[faint bear]

send us some more puzzles from that, i wanna do a bit of thinking before going to sleep

[ruby igloo]

guess my elo

and it was blitz

[young pagoda]

Send the game

[severe oxide]

yes

[young pagoda]

I will do GTE

[compact mantle]

Qd6 the first one

[grim edge]

angola?

[lime lava]

That flag is almost my country

[primal shore]

yes....and you said "the way he thinks isn't normal" because he instantly picks up on a good move in a position, he has absolutely no time to actually calculate the variations and is therefore pattern recognition

[ruby igloo]

but then u can see my elo

[faint bear]

what is n3?

[odd lake]

aaah

[grim edge]

i always remember angola bc their flag is rad af

[odd lake]

India lost the CWC final

[grim edge]

hi lucy 🌊

[faint bear]

1,2,4 are easy, but 3 i cant see yet

[odd lake]

aaah

[compact mantle]

Second is Bg5 Ne5#

[green jungle]

i literally cannot believe you have 1046 level difficulty and then like 10 puzzles later you have 1054 what the hell the difficulty disparity could not be any larger

[young pagoda]

But some of these positions are way too complicated to base on patterns

[kind geyser]

Mate in 2?

[stable mirage]

I think the third is Qb8, the other 3 arent worth mentioning

[kind geyser]

Bg5 Nd6

[primal shore]

And they are way to complicated to think out, by process of elimination it is memory

[supple delta]

I think its rook sack

[green jungle]

isn't 1052 qb7

[supple delta]

For black

[lime lava]

these puzzles are easier arent they

[young pagoda]

No, the reason he is so good is because he has the ability to think it out

[green jungle]

i think qb7 mates faster because qb8 Be7

[faint bear]

i legit cant see it

[primal shore]

He does not

[young pagoda]

Are you kidding?

[compact mantle]

Ah yeah Qb7

[primal shore]

He can't calculate so deep in about 5 seconds or else he wouldn't spend all of his time in classical games

[stable mirage]

hm could be

[young pagoda]

His long term planning is phenomenal

[compact mantle]

You’re right

[finite jasper]

Calculation over everything

[primal shore]

You can't calculate 3 lines 15 moves deep in 30 seconds

[green jungle]

You don't find the correct move in 5 seconds in a middlegame based on calculating

you find it based on pattern recognition which is just intuition

[young pagoda]

I’m not saying he is doing raw calculation

[compact mantle]

Still easy ngl

[young pagoda]

It’s more of a mix

[primal shore]

Then its literally pattern recognition

[green jungle]

3971 is mega gay

[young pagoda]

It’s a mix

[ruby igloo]

i guess in longer time controls this is the case

[kind geyser]

Are them from a physical book

[stable mirage]

third is a cute little smothered mate

[primal shore]

Irrelevant, without the pattern recognition he's unable to

[compact mantle]

It’s something I wanna have in an otb game

[green jungle]

look at 3971

[ruby igloo]

I just like intuition, if I can explain a move then I will just play it lol

[young pagoda]

Also prophylaxis

[finite jasper]

3971: Nf6+ (Kh8 Qxh6+) Kg6 Qg4+

[supple delta]

Cant see

[pallid plinth]

PEAK LVL CHESS

[stable mirage]

just a long chain not that hard to calculate

[faint bear]

i cant see n3 again lol im so bad

[green jungle]

You can't find good moves without good pattern recognition

[green jungle]

yeah im just saying the moves are just 💀

[primal shore]

Ez mate

[young pagoda]

Never said you could

[stable mirage]

ye fair

[ruby igloo]

just need to know what fischer said, a superior position will lend itself to tactics

[green jungle]

im not saying it's hard just that the moves are cringe

[finite jasper]

3971?

Isn’t 3971 a mate in a few moves?

[green jungle]

this is true but i have no idea how it relates to what i said

[finite jasper]

Forced mate in 3? Or am I tripping

[faint bear]

@grim edge n, thanks for the tactics, ill go to sleep now, bye all of you!

[kind geyser]

Knight check and Queen sac yes

[stable mirage]

I might have overcomplicated it

[young pagoda]

As I said, prophylaxis

[green jungle]

yeah it's m3

[primal shore]

Then we agree magnus isn't special he just has uncanny pattern recognition

[green jungle]

lets be real that makes him special

[primal shore]

Or at the very least, it's the pattern recognition that makes him special

[green jungle]

you dont become world #1 by being normal

[primal shore]

This guy gets it

[supple delta]

All this good player talking about mate in 5
Me: sacrificing everything

[grim edge]

magnus carlesen still has the most advanced pattern recognition engine on the planet

[green jungle]

called brain
yes

[finite jasper]

On Kh8 yeah but if Kg6 don’t need to sac

[lime lava]

3971.Rg7 Rb7(Nf6+) 3972.Rb8 Bc8 Qd7 Ne6# 3974.Nf6 Rh6 Rh7# 3975. c4 f5 Rh2#

[young pagoda]

He is good at everything: patterns, calculation, tactics, prophylaxis

[primal shore]

Omg guys did you see we are making a way to communicate with and decipher whales

[supple delta]

No Hans has better one 💀

[finite jasper]

Isn’t 3971 Nf6?

[primal shore]

And all of that is pattern recognition

[green jungle]

me, a whale, about to be deciphered (Whatever tf that means) :

wrong reply

[young pagoda]

????????

[lime lava]

of course it is, sry Im dumb

[primal shore]

Yes ofcourse experience helps but at the end of the day there's a reason why 5 year olds can be good at chess

[finite jasper]

Don’t say that

[green jungle]

ok im losing you at this point lucy

[grim edge]

the person who argues chess is only pattern recognition could, on the same basis, argue that subjects such as math or art are only pattern recognition

chess is more than "oh ive seen this before"

[young pagoda]

That is besides the point

[young pagoda]

Thank you

[grim edge]

hehe im a contrarian

[compact mantle]

We need the hardest puzzles you got @grim edge

[primal shore]

But what makes a good player is having better pattern recognition

[green jungle]

i thought we were talking about the reason why magnus could find good moves in a short amount of time is his pattern recognition, being able to justify if the move he found is good (he doesn't know if it's good yet) is another skill

[green jungle]

disagree

[young pagoda]

Dude surely you understand pattern recognition isn’t everything

[finite jasper]

What makes a player good is being able to calculate

[green jungle]

disagree

[primal shore]

Not everything but a fast majority

[young pagoda]

It’s a mix of everything

[finite jasper]

“Calculation over everything”

• NM James Canty

[green jungle]

there's no one thing that makes a player better

[grim edge]

mmm but what about calculation, or reaction speed? maybe both are based off of pattern recognition, but something more is there, unique to the faculties of the player themselves

[supple delta]

What makes you a good player is to be born with chess mind lol

[compact mantle]

Calculation is quite important

[kind geyser]

I see only one move ahead, but it is always the correct one.

• Capablanca

[green jungle]

he's fm now, also you're citing an fm

[compact mantle]

It is not everything

[grim edge]

also it seems chess skill is correlated with how hot you are. bc magnus carlesen is SMOKING

[young pagoda]

Recognizing what your opponent has is extremely important

[finite jasper]

He’s strong asf tho

[primal shore]

And I'm saying magnus doesn't have some different way of thinking but good pattern recognition because that's what chess comes down to. That and calculation

[finite jasper]

He’s a massive individual

[green jungle]

physically yes, on the board, also yes

[compact mantle]

Yes, as are most FM’s lmao

[young pagoda]

What about prophylaxis?

[finite jasper]

I mean in the gym

[green jungle]

i played against him in blitz tourney once otb

[compact mantle]

Ohh lmao

[grim edge]

ohhh like hes not unique, but merely more developed than other chessplayers?

[compact mantle]

Yeah he’s built fr

[finite jasper]

Fr

[young pagoda]

I’ve played Andrew tang before

[primal shore]

Who tf is prophylaxis

[green jungle]

why does the discord keep making me reply to the wrong person

[supple delta]

https://tenor.com/view/pingu-noot-noot-penguin-head-bang-gif-17021033

[young pagoda]

It means seeing what your opponent has and stopping it

[finite jasper]

I have a higher puzzle rush score than Benjamin finegold 🥰

[green jungle]

*seeing what your opponent wants to do and stopping it

[grim edge]

hes rly hot tho

[green jungle]

most normal whismy take

[young pagoda]

Correct my mistake

[brazen geyser]

Whenever I start a game against a bot the bot takes quite a while to move... I also have options to premove and take my own pieces and stuff when I'm waiting... reeaaallly confused right now
anyone know what's up with that?

[grim edge]

benjamin finegold is the third hottest gm

[finite jasper]

Fr

[grim edge]

yes i do have daddy issues btw

[young pagoda]

Behind?

[finite jasper]

Aman Hambleton and Eric Hansen

[grim edge]

magnus, anish

[green jungle]

who are the first 2

[finite jasper]

Aryan tari

[green jungle]

benjamin bok is just worse ben finegold

[primal shore]

that's calculation which at highest level most often you know that move is an option from your experience (pattern recognition) and know it needs to be stopped, alternatively it's pattern recognition for seeing checks captures attacks etc

[green jungle]

yes

[grim edge]

yes

[lime lava]

I played with 100 acc and stockfish is trashing me for no reason

[young pagoda]

Oh my goodness this person does not get it

[compact mantle]

First one is Ra1 Qa3 Qc1#

[grim edge]

get out while you still can

[finite jasper]

You are using “pattern recognition” as a blanket term to include anything in chess lol

[young pagoda]

Facts

[primal shore]

tell me why stockfish is good at chess

[green jungle]

as a pro chess player i advise to quit

[grim edge]

omg hi bozo. ive missed u

[young pagoda]

It can see 17 moves ahead

[finite jasper]

Probably has grandmasters feeding it moves

[grim edge]

i wonder how stockfish works tbh. i imagine its a mix of fluid and crystal knowledge

[green jungle]

yeah you make -500 per month

[young pagoda]

I have no clue

[grim edge]

do you think stockfish has good openings sort of "hardcoded"/predetermined into it, or is it all fluid and calculation based?

[green jungle]

playing tournaments aren't investments, they're closer to entertainment, because you won't be seeing that money back

[compact mantle]

2nd one Qf1 xf1 xf1 Kg2 Nxe3#

[young pagoda]

I think for openings and endgames it’s hardcoded

[fallen valley]

This sentence gave me brain cancer

[finite jasper]

Brain cancer is just a mix of fluids and crystals in your skull

[young pagoda]

You pay to play and have a little fun, not really to make money

[green jungle]

source: over 2 years i went from 1600 to 2000 otb and won about 500-800 USD total, spent probably many thousands to play in said tournaments

[primal shore]

Stockfish is good at chess because it can instantly dig x moves deep and find the best variation, it's simple calculation right? There's also other engines that are programmed to follow the rules of chess, and nothing more, and then plays against itself millions of times becoming an extremely strong chess engine from those games learning the most precise moves based off past games

[green jungle]

yeah which is cool when you have money but now that im in college i dont have any 😹

[young pagoda]

Xd

[primal shore]

US has horrible tournament prize funds

[grim edge]

say that to my meningioma

[young pagoda]

Correct

[green jungle]

chess has horrible prize funds

[lime lava]

Now explain the reason im bad at chess

[green jungle]

i dont know why you say the US specifically

[finite jasper]

Cus it has bad marketability

[young pagoda]

It’s not that popular and doesn’t have so many sponsors

[green jungle]

yeah

[grim edge]

shining city on a hill folks! the wealth will trickle down any day, now

[finite jasper]

Who tf who isn’t in chess wants to watch 2 people sit at a board for 15 minutes then one of them moves 1 pawn then have to wait another 10 minutes

It’s just not enjoyable for non-chess players to watch and get into it

[young pagoda]

Pretty much

[finite jasper]

As opposed to other sports where there’s a lot more action

[green jungle]

it also didn't help that as in my lifetime i have 2 first place finishes and one of them was when i was 8 years old so there was no money there

and the other was a tie so i split the money

[young pagoda]

Even for chess players, it gets a little boring

[finite jasper]

And it’s easier to tell who is winning, what’s going on, etc.

[primal shore]

So....engines are good because they have perfect pattern recognition with an almost infinite sample size, and the more you play (and annalise and learn from your mistakes) the better you will be from experience

[grim edge]

if there were more of a social presence around it, like football or cricket has, then more people would be watching it

[finite jasper]

Lmaooo true

[fallen valley]

The St. Louis Rapid and Blitz event was very entertaining I think

[young pagoda]

No. They have perfect calculation

[grim edge]

oh god i just licked a 9 volt

[green jungle]

you can only hype up a move for so long

[finite jasper]

Yeh but football and cricket just have more action going on, and it’s easier for people to don’t play to understand

[green jungle]

they dont, google horizon effect

[finite jasper]

You play chess tho. It might be boring asf for someone who doesn’t

[primal shore]

Pattern recognition very clearly plays an extremely large role in chess as the top players in the world typically get far worse then their peak with age, and the reason why people younge enough to not be able to form full sentences can hold their own in a game

[young pagoda]

Yeah people who don’t play chess see that the engine says 0.0000001 and are like wtf

[grim edge]

bullet chess exists, rapid doesnt have to be the default mode. and more people would understand whats going on if they watched

[finite jasper]

Exactly

[primal shore]

What of the engines that go off of previously played games noy calculation?

[grim edge]

e.g i don't watch football much, dont get whats going on, and dont enjoy it unless im with my friends who do

[finite jasper]

Yeah but nobody is watching chess and trying to learn what’s going on when there’s a million other things they could be doing

[grim edge]

football ⚽ or 🏈 it doesnt matter

[young pagoda]

Most top ones don’t.

[tame glade]

Why do I see a bunch of photos of trump when I search 4d chess lol

[finite jasper]

“Yooooo let’s hang out and watch the world chess championship together it’ll be liiiiit”

[young pagoda]

Trump is 4 d chess, obviously

[green jungle]

old people play worse because they can't calculate, not because their pattern recognition gets worse

well it does get worse but it's mainly because of calculation issues

That's why you'll see a lot of old people play more positionally and not tactically

[young pagoda]

Exactly. Things like the World Cup bring people and nations together

[tame glade]

?

[finite jasper]

I was being sarcastic 😭

[warped vigil]

🤣

[finite jasper]

Oh I misread

[green jungle]

it beings them together because their nations aren't in it

[finite jasper]

Nah yeah you spitting

[grim edge]

same argument could be made for football. you only need to look at the match between spassky and fischer in the 1970s to see that, if chess had more of a cultural presence, people would watch it even if they didnt understand it initially

[green jungle]

💀

[grim edge]

typo 😭

[finite jasper]

Okay that was a different thing… space race Cold War etc. but now nobody gaf

[green jungle]

to the shadow realm you go

[young pagoda]

Yeah once you fail to get out of the group stage😂

[finite jasper]

They weren’t watching it for chess, they just wanted “proof” that one side is “mentally superior” to the other

[green jungle]

gangnam style was so popular in like 2012 but now nobody gaf, still doesn't mean people didn't like it at the time

[grim edge]

yeah? modern football has the same element of national pride behind it

[supple delta]

I am infact the king of shadow realm

[warped vigil]

foot ball is meh

[green jungle]

consider your pants

peed

[young pagoda]

And then came along chess com and 100 rated people started existing

[grim edge]

so were both arguing that, when an activity has national pride behind it, it becomes a cultural focus and something people watch together for enjoyment

[green jungle]

how dare you slander my favorite sport, football (soccer)

[young pagoda]

Correct

[supple delta]

I'm not wearing any pants

[warped vigil]

I think it's stupid that things like pogchamps exist. People get fame without skill.

[green jungle]

consider you

peed

[grim edge]

chess just doesnt have this, currently

[finite jasper]

But it’s easier to see what’s going on in a football game even if you don’t play. You see the score or whatever. But in chess, it’s hard to see who is better, why moves are being played, etc. when just watching it, especially if you don’t know notation and can’t follow along with the commentators or whatever

[supple delta]

In shadow realm it's all shadow

[young pagoda]

They are already famous though

[green jungle]

true

[primal shore]

let's start a warrrr

[warped vigil]

Fair point

[supple delta]

Okay

[finite jasper]

What is your point?

[primal shore]

A SKELTON WARRRRRRRR

[warped vigil]

but still

[young pagoda]

I’m going to go so I don’t lose any more braincells

[warped vigil]

Let's talk about hippo hamburgers

[green jungle]

just because nobody gaf about fischer spassky now doesn't mean anything

it literally does not counter whismy's point whatsoever

[primal shore]

I heard the funniest saying earlier

[finite jasper]

No I’m saying people cared back then because of Cold War. But nobody cares about chess now.

[primal shore]

It was "I almost bobby fishered my bishop"

[finite jasper]

Because there’s no Cold War going on

And there’s nothing to prove by being superior

To another nation

[green jungle]

yes this is what whismy was saying though

[primal shore]

There's a cold War going on rn smh

[warped vigil]

lets just wait 10 years and then ding vs caruana will be all over the news

[green jungle]

more like a chilly conflict

[finite jasper]

Ahh

[supple delta]

I made that

[primal shore]

Ding ain't winning wcc again

[grim edge]

in football u have a tiny ball being kicked fast enough to make the ball blur on camera, in chess its all on a board. Besides, a person without previous experience to either chess or football without any prior experience would still be on a learning curve; the social pressure would have to compel that person to learn the sport

[grim edge]

RAHHHHHH

[green jungle]

i almost bobby fischered my knight to a woman (gave it away) (because i can beat all women with knight odds) (they are terrible chess players)

[finite jasper]

Ok I see. But the problem is chess will never have that kind of presence because it has small fan base, and Vice versus. It’s a catch 22

[primal shore]

There's proxy and proxy is war enough for me to call it so

[grim edge]

hello

[supple delta]

Hello

[green jungle]

chilly disagreement

[grim edge]

chess has hundreds of millions of players. we're just all nerds 😭

[primal shore]

shush

[grim edge]

and old people

should I learn the Caro Khan?

[supple delta]

Yeah but I like sweet

[finite jasper]

It’s easier to market sports tho because you can literally see shots being made, or the score rising, or whatever. It’s hard to see why someone is better in chess if you don’t play

[supple delta]

Yes

[grim edge]

pk

ok*

[green jungle]

it is definitely easier to watch conventional sports i dont know what you two are arguing about

[grim edge]

a little board showing the amount of material each player has lost in chess would serve the exact same role that a scorecounter does in football. like its rly hard to tell who's better in football without that counter

[finite jasper]

Ikik but these people aren’t buying tickets to see games live, aren’t buying merch, etc. so there is less money for prize funds, for advertisements, etc.

Which keeps chess out of the public eye

[green jungle]

im a chess player and i can't even watch chess

i play 5 hour games and i can't watch chess

[primal shore]

There's far more money involved in chess now compared to the Fisher wcc

[finite jasper]

Except in chess material isn’t everything, so even that would not tell the full story.

[supple delta]

Mee tooo unless it's short and someone is talking

[primal shore]

And far more coverage

[finite jasper]

But nowhere near sports.

[green jungle]

this already exists, also engine eval

[primal shore]

It wasn't back then either

[warped vigil]

chess is sports

[grim edge]

yuhhh im sayin

[finite jasper]

That’s just natural due to the internet. Everything has more coverage

[green jungle]

along with a race car driving gameplay on the bottom of the screen, and a subway surfers on the side

[finite jasper]

Wdym?

[finite jasper]

Physical sports

[green jungle]

only then can i watch chess

[primal shore]

Chess is more funded for prizes then any singular professional video game sports

[green jungle]

i dont know i play valorant only rn

[supple delta]

And candy crush

[green jungle]

wait i lied i played one game of chess today

i deeply apologize for lying

[finite jasper]

Source? I would be confident that LoL has more prize fund than chess

[primal shore]

Absolutely no shot. Global chess tournament hosted almost every single day of any given month almost always have some sort of prize, add all those up and i guarantee there's no one video game sport that has a bigger prize fund. And that's excluding big events

[supple delta]

No worries , but valorant I haven't understood fully

[finite jasper]

Even games like clash of clans have good prize fund

[supple delta]

Haven't played much that's why

[green jungle]

League is the #1 esport in the world chess does not have more funding

[supple delta]

I love that game

I still play it

[grim edge]

i wanna get railed by a chessplayer

[primal shore]

[supple delta]

lichess is the better platform

[primal shore]

I'd ping mods if you didn't just get back from a TO

[coral cloud]

[normal hatch]

[grim edge]

chess.c*m 🤢

[green jungle]

to be honest most bases are shit like actual ass

steal bases from the pros

[primal shore]

real

[grim edge]

[primal shore]

I'm like th12 but sososo rushed

[green jungle]

lucy what the hell you were th11 like 3 months ago

[primal shore]

But if i played I could unrush in like 2-4weeks

[coral cloud]

umm.. are you guys witerally talking about clash of clans?

[supple delta]

I would love toooo cause its my favorite attack specially at th11 +

[finite jasper]

QC hybrid, QC lalo, QC dual hogs, QC barch (😱), QC recall super dragons

[primal shore]

It might be 11 idk

[hushed shuttle]

yea 🥺

[primal shore]

We love CoC !

[green jungle]

if you said super barch id give you a point for that but you pass

[finite jasper]

Lol

[green jungle]

is the townhall blue or yellow

[finite jasper]

Do people use qc with super barch?

[primal shore]

Idk I'm colourblind

[green jungle]

i actually tried qc barch on my th9 acc 💀

[green jungle]

one second let me find a vid

[finite jasper]

Noah’s ark 😱😱

QC swb 💀

[supple delta]

I love QC hybrid, QC mass hogs
QC lalo which is by far my strongest

[grim edge]

pewdiepie is like 7/10 imo

[green jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj2iL0pVRLk 15:50 not a qc, it's a sui super barbs but you get the idea, trust me qc super barch exists

[supple delta]

Haven't seen much of that lately

[primal shore]

Pewdiepie fell off when he moved to Japan and became a professional weeb

[supple delta]

Klaus use to do it

[green jungle]

by super barch i mean super barbs and normal archers

[primal shore]

Nah jokes, I never watched the guy

[grim edge]

hes mb a 9/10 tho bc hes blond

[finite jasper]

Super barch like sarch blimp mass sbarbs, right?

[green jungle]

before i stopped playing th9 id do that in wars 💀

[finite jasper]

Ok that doesn’t count he can do anything lol

[grim edge]

like idk. would you date pewdiepie?

[green jungle]

it's actually crazy how much value you can get from noahs ark it's not even that bad

[primal shore]

He's married and has kids.

[supple delta]

That need incredible amounts of skill

[primal shore]

HE IS MARRIED AND A FATHER.

[green jungle]

yuppp

[primal shore]

He's like 40 even

[finite jasper]

Ahhhhh ok I thought you meant sarch blimp and mass sbarbs. That makes more sense with a qc

[supple delta]

He was absolutely amazing until someone took his throne

[grim edge]

hasnt stopped me before, doesnt stop me now, wont stop me in the future

[primal shore]

Highest I'll go is 25

[finite jasper]

Cus you don’t want qc and sarch blimp

[grim edge]

hasnt stopped me before, doesnt stop me now, wont stop me in the future

[supple delta]

I think NICK is pretty good attacker

[green jungle]

it helped that most bases were shit and didn't follow any principles

example: no air coverage in the area, one dragon takes 17% of the base

[grim edge]

hasnt stopped me before, doesnt stop me now, wont stop me in the future

[finite jasper]

Is he the tribe edrag guy?

Or the lalo guy I forgot

[green jungle]

wasn't the tribe edrag guy synthe and then he moved to navi

wait no synthe was the hog dude

[supple delta]

I have loved QC attack for soo long that sometimes I loot with that army in legend league

[finite jasper]

Synthe is the hog guy

Yeah skelly donut mass hogs

[green jungle]

i play th11 now i dont know shit about th15 lmao

[finite jasper]

When morio was on NAVI that was insane

[supple delta]

He changed his clan I think
