bro i broke 3 monitors playing rapid

You are supposed to change my mind

[echo kestrel]

I wouldn't be able to pull this 10 game win streak off if I hadn't dropped 250 points first

We actually have no idea what we're doing

[manic nova]

that's an impressive one

[echo kestrel]

I still play a refuted opening

[inner dagger]

[echo kestrel]

It's just recovery tbh

[rocky pawn]

cap

[lime lava]

Im uwu-ing in general

[echo kestrel]

Time to see if I can do it for 10 more games

[inner dagger]

Which opening?

[echo kestrel]

Duras, e4 f5

[inner dagger]

I'm 2300 rapid and I'm clueless in some positions

[grim edge]

i hope the Grinch steals everyone's presents

[echo kestrel]

It's crazy how there's actually a few Duras players even at 2000, I used to be awful against my own opening (lol) but now I know the lines that they always mess up and now I'm mowing them down

[inner dagger]

Idk but ur rating will probably improve if u play normally

[echo kestrel]

In case you're curious, e4, f5, Be2 works very well against Duras players, it's probably the most annoying line and even I lose if white plays it perfectly

[echo kestrel]

Idk how to play normally.. 😭 basically I have set positions that I like to get into and I play well with, and without those I suck

[rocky pawn]

at my level should i be doing more than just puzzles and spamming games

[grim edge]

@grave mantle bruh

[echo kestrel]

I played a 90+30 otb tournament once, one of my rounds lasted 4 hours so yeah that was fun

I didn't even win either, we drew

[rocky pawn]

lmfao

[grim edge]

youre so prettyyyy

[rocky pawn]

the otb tournaments i play are 40+5 tc

[echo kestrel]

Ahh yeah that's about what I'm used to

[rocky pawn]

less drawing and less waiting ig

[echo kestrel]

Frr

I usally do 30+5, 45+5, or 60+5

I've done 75+15 as well before, but that was quite slow lol

[rocky pawn]

lol +15

[echo kestrel]

Lol

[rocky pawn]

how long did it take u to get to 2k from 1k

i thought it would be harder to go from noob>decent than decent>pro

guess thats just me:/

[manic nova]

decent to pro feels harder

[rocky pawn]

fr

i cant escape 1600

[acoustic mason]

Yeah, noob>decent is just learning the game, decent>pro is a lot more than that

[rocky pawn]

fr

[acoustic mason]

1600 is still pretty good tbf

[warm spindle]

@echo kestrel

[rocky pawn]

nah im trash

[acoustic mason]

It's a matter of perspective. To a 2k, sure. But to a 1k, you're good

[warm spindle]

@echo kestrel togishire!

[stuck kestrel]

no

[acoustic mason]

Just let me live in the delusion that my level isn't as low as it actually is

[stuck kestrel]

being delusional is underrated

creating ur own happiness is the best thing u can do

[acoustic mason]

I'm underated? I'll take that

[stuck kestrel]

No ur harp

[acoustic mason]

[grim edge]

That's not delusion it's just being mindful lol

[acoustic mason]

Rare wholesome genchat?

[sage dawn]

I can't swear??

[silent quest]

And creating your own misery is the worst thing you can do

[silent quest]

Istg

[acoustic mason]

Nah, that shit is banned here

[sage dawn]

What the shit?

[sage dawn]

The most crucial swear word and it's banned.

[silent quest]

That thing you're sitting on

In your pfp

[silent quest]

Give credits

[sage dawn]

Right.

[rigid geyser]

Well you could bypass and haven't seen mods give a shit about it

[grim edge]

From book The cat who taught Zen by James norbury

[rigid geyser]

But if you're planning to stay you're better off not cursing

[silent quest]

Fk this shit

[desert oxide]

@manic nova so what is up bb

[rigid geyser]

[grim edge]

Adults complaining they're not allowed to swear will always be funny

[manic nova]

💀

nothing much

[keen shard]

Do people tend ti just sit out their time? Im 1 move away from mate and my opponent doesnt have any moves to save them and now theyre just wasting their remaininf 6 minutes.

[silent quest]

Adults dont give a shit

[silent quest]

They do

[keen shard]

That's annoying

[grim edge]

It's rare but people do it yeah. You can report them for it

I had someone do it during a 60 min game

[silent quest]

For stalling

[grim edge]

I just open another tab tbh

[silent quest]

💀💀

[silent quest]

I did that and i lost by abandonment because the guy played a move after waiting for 3 mins

[grim edge]

Oh I guess it depends if your browser unloads the tab

Two knights are more op than I thought

[silent quest]

It depends

[keen shard]

Im on mobilr lol

[manic nova]

knights are monsters together

[west reef]

https://tenor.com/view/roshan-bang-cool-step-hrithik-gif-21842763

[grim edge]

Yeah on mobile the app can unload and disconnect you from the game so I recommend not doing that lol

[desert oxide]

Excuse me. I know this is kind of weird and I’m super shy…but I was just wondering…what pick up lines work best with you?

[sage dawn]

What?

[manic nova]

what

[acoustic mason]

I think the app starts the countdown automatically just for having it in background, it doesn't even need to reload

[grim edge]

Anxiety rizz

[acoustic mason]

Unload*

[silent quest]

Exactly

[sage dawn]

My most sincerest reaction.

[silent quest]

It isn't rizz if it didn't work

[grim edge]

I remember once when I had a female name and profile pic years ago to see what'd happen and I got random DMS way more

[silent quest]

[silent quest]

Discord got loads of simps

[grim edge]

I used to have a friend who pretends to be a girl on the internet. But like 24/7 and they'd never break character

So just remember that when you try to hit on girls on the internet

[grim edge]

i know how this feels like

[desert oxide]

No pen, no paper...but, you still draw my attention

[acoustic mason]

Just in case this was unironic: pickup lines don't work, ever. Just be an interesting person and talk to girls like humans

[silent quest]

Hello i play chess

[manic nova]

same, my attention with you is as stale as a stalemate

[desert oxide]

oh i thout they were bots

[sage dawn]

What the hell is happening here?

[acoustic mason]

Boy, are you a chess.com server? Because I'm struggling to find a connection

[silent quest]

You'll get used to it , the general chat is always wild

[grim edge]

My fave is "did it hurt when you fell from heaven because your face is messed up"

Hi no one

[desert oxide]

Are you a queen? Because you have me in checkmate.

[acoustic mason]

What even was the pun there?

[sage dawn]

This is like watching a blind toddler walking on a minefield.

[silent quest]

:patricksnatched:

[acoustic mason]

[vast osprey]

Cook my brotha

[grim edge]

Lol I'd probably only date a girl if they read as much as me but that would mean spending time with each other would be ignoring each other all day and then talking about books for 5 minutes

[simple rose]

Reminds me of this ngl.

[silent quest]

What genre are you into?

[acoustic mason]

That's pretty much how long term relationships work anyway. It's exhausting to give someone your full attention all of the time

[grim edge]

I read a lot of xenofiction but I'm getting into fantasy. Wanting to try tad Williams books. Going to be reading memory sorrow and thorn.

[desert oxide]

who is that nerd nothing like me 🫰

[grim edge]

Agree lol

[simple rose]

Real

[grim edge]

Like, not spending time with someone doesn't mean you dislike them

[silent quest]

I never heard of xenofiction what's dat

[grim edge]

Animal characters lol

[silent quest]

Also spending time with someone doesn't mean you like em

[acoustic mason]

Me and my partner legitimately spend most of our time in the same room, her watching TV, me watching/playing something else on my pc. And we briefly acknowledge each other every now and then

[silent quest]

Oh interesting

[grim edge]

I used to be friends with someone, he was clearly a sociopath but I didn't care cos he was fun to be around.

It backfired eventually but it was fun lol

[silent quest]

Weird people are always fun

[grim edge]

Yeah cos they're reckless and do wild shit but you wouldn't rely on them as a friend lol.

He would just bring you to explore abandoned buildings with him. Got caught twice.

Went out a lot. Unemployed. Leeches off parents.

[desert oxide]

@manic nova Will you come with me to see my pawn collection?

[silent quest]

@grim edge how much do you love animals your Goodreads is full of books having cat covers

[acoustic mason]

<@&745328830649991179>

[manic nova]

lmao

[grim edge]

But yeah I'm obviously moving away from reading xenofiction. I like animals a lot so it makes the books easier to read but the issue obviously is most tend to be books for young people. It's quite hard to find books that aren't for children

[grim edge]

I'm autistic with a fixation on cats lol

[random drum]

@digital phoenix be like "hold my beer"

[desert oxide]

never hate jalous people they are jalous because they think you are better than them

[manic nova]

sorry, I prefer chess pieces larger than 1 inches

[acoustic mason]

Tf is a jalous person?

[grim edge]

Warrior cats books aren't even good tbh I've just been reading them too long to stop

[desert oxide]

i can be your knight queen !!

[acoustic mason]

Bro, touch grass

[gentle steppe]

I don't get it

[silent quest]

Hahaha everyone has their unique taste fair enough

[acoustic mason]

He's just being a creep

[silent quest]

💀

[gentle steppe]

What's being a creep in that msg

[grim edge]

I do need to read more non fiction tbh

[acoustic mason]

That was one of many

[silent quest]

Non fiction mostly bores one

[grim edge]

Got this today lol

[grim edge]

It CAN be great but its heavily dependant on the author and their knowledge. Anyone can write a book about something they have no clue about

[silent quest]

A signed copy damn amazing

[silent quest]

Yeah

[toxic valley]

I got king's gambit declined: Falkbeer countergambit

[grim edge]

🪑

Forgot I had this book when I was interested in beekeeping lol

[grim edge]

sheesh

[warm spindle]

is that you on the cover

[acoustic mason]

No, that's a bee

[desert oxide]

ok it looks like im gonna quit dont want to melt your heart

[warm spindle]

thanks my dude

[novel moat]

How are you so bad at this

[acoustic mason]

Bro cooked for 10 minutes for that weak ass response

[desert oxide]

at least im not rapid

[grim edge]

hi

[grim edge]

I could rly do with getting a new cat but I should prolly save some money first lol

Anyone wanna play chess?

Ok 500

Hey chat

Hello Duckduckgo

https://tenor.com/view/cat-nyan-nya-bakemonogatari-hanekawa-gif-18475220

[viral epoch]

Oughhh

[grim edge]

hi femboy

[viral epoch]

Nya

Whoa

[spiral harbor]

what gambit should i play

[grim edge]

Nb5

Sureeeee

:3

[wooden lintel]

I just sacrificed the Rook OTB

[viral epoch]

[wooden lintel]

It felt great

[grim edge]

Botez gambit

[spiral harbor]

for 800-1000 elo

[grim edge]

gotez bambit

[wooden lintel]

Queen's

[little elm]

why play gambits

[grim edge]

Because they are fun

[wooden lintel]

Fun and strong.

[copper scaffold]

how bad did I played to get this result

[grim edge]

The only gambit I've ever played was the delayed wing gambit and that's cos I watched Gotham chess. I think my winrate with it was like, 10%

[grim edge]

bragging rights

[little elm]

Bh6?

[grim edge]

Bxh6 Nf6+

Though I beat a 1700 player with it somehow

[honest drift]

And ur up a piece

[grim edge]

I should try find the game lol

[viral epoch]

Cuz it makes me very happy when they take, or don't, either way I end up in positions I know better than my opponents

[acoustic mason]

I play "gambits" because I refuse to admit my moves were actually blunders

[wooden lintel]

And if they decline, you get more control over the center.

[grim edge]

same

[little elm]

you could try the swiss gambit

[acoustic mason]

Does the scandi count as a gambit? And if not, what makes something a "gambit"?

[wispy plover]

https://tenor.com/view/crycat-crying-cat-crying-cat-thumbs-up-thumbs-up-ok-gif-17048449662472934214

[wooden lintel]

A gambit is a sacrifice

In the opening

[acoustic mason]

So does that make the scandi one? Because I never see it referred to as one

[wooden lintel]

No

[grim edge]

It's funny looking through old games and seeing all the players banned for cheating

[wooden lintel]

The pawn on d5 in the scandi is defended

[acoustic mason]

Oh right yeah

I'm dumb

[grim edge]

i like to flex that i beat an NM once but then they find out it was in bughouse so i prolly just got lucky lmao

[echo coral]

what does NM mean again?

[grim edge]

National master

[echo coral]

ah ok

[grim edge]

They were paired with a 600 rated player anyway and I was paired with an 800. My partner checkmated

[acoustic mason]

So your "beating a NM" was actually watching an 800 mate a 600?

[grim edge]

yes lmao

[acoustic mason]

NM at 1.7k? Is that the usual range for that title?

[grim edge]

its bughouse rating

[acoustic mason]

Ah

[grim edge]

its pretty hard for master players to even match up against masters in bughouse

[acoustic mason]

Is your partner random matchmaking too? Or do people usually play with someone they know?

[grim edge]

you can do either. i think most people queue with a random though

[acoustic mason]

Pairing with someone massively lower than you must be frustrating

[grim edge]

it looks at your average elo to determine how many points to give you though

so pairing with someone low rated and winning gives more points

[acoustic mason]

But still, setting up an attack just to have a blunder afterwards must kill master players inside

[copper scaffold]

[hallow gate]

uwu

@vestal urchin

[turbid terrace]

Idk why he take

[grim edge]

is the game finished

or you still playing it

[turbid terrace]

Finished

[grim edge]

it's mate in 2 if you take the bishop

[vestal urchin]

shut

[grim edge]

ye thats mate

when someone sacrifices a piece i recommend always checking to see if theres a checkmate pattern, even if it looks like a blunder

[stuck kestrel]

not just checkmate pattern

sacrifices dont only lead to mates

[alpine creek]

guys does anyone here have a fide rating or just play other?

[grim edge]

tru tru

[echo coral]

facts

[grim edge]

i dont go outside

[stuck kestrel]

none of us do. thats why we are on discord

[alpine creek]

[spiral harbor]

what gambit should i play as 800-1000 elo

[grim edge]

is 1200 on chess.com even good enough to get a fide rating, idk. I don't know if id survive a classical game lol

[grim edge]

no lol

fair

[light cosmos]

Intercontinental missile

[acoustic mason]

None

[grim edge]

even though id prolly lose every game itd be cool to compete in chess regardless lol. sometimes i feel like playing against better players gives you more insight. also just not knowing their rating and trying to play your best anyway

[stuck kestrel]

queens gambit

[stuck kestrel]

beads

[grim edge]

xd

[acoustic mason]

Asking what gambit you should play at low elo is like saying "I just got my driving license, which supercar should I buy?"

[spiral harbor]

is king's Indian good?

[grim edge]

wonder what my winrate with kings indian is lol cos i rarely play it

[stuck kestrel]

that would be 1200 atleast. 800 asking that is like asking which supercar to buy without even having a licence

[stuck kestrel]

yes

but thats not a gambit lol

[acoustic mason]

It's not a gambit, but yes it's good as long as you learn the ideas. It can be easy to mess up if you just blindly learn the moves

[stuck kestrel]

just play italian

[grim edge]

oh i won 3 and lost 5. lol

[spiral harbor]

then what is king's indian?

[stuck kestrel]

an opening..

[spiral harbor]

oh, then what opening should i play that can be played by both white and black

[acoustic mason]

If you're confusing openings with gambits you definitely need to avoid gambits

[stuck kestrel]

play queens gambit for white and kings indian defence for black

u dont need to play the same thing with both

[grim edge]

i should play kings indian more often lol

[spiral harbor]

i like to play same thing as both

[acoustic mason]

That's why you're 800-1k

[spiral harbor]

i used to play london as white and caro-kann as black

[grim edge]

but i prefer ruining my winrate by thinking i understand how to play alekhines defense

[stuck kestrel]

keep playing those then

[spiral harbor]

i keep losing with caro-kann

so i switched to king's indian for both

[stuck kestrel]

makes sense

[stuck kestrel]

Thats fine

[grim edge]

39% winrateeeeeee babyyyyyyy

[acoustic mason]

Kings Indian as white can put you at an unnecessary disadvantage

If London works, stick with that and just use kings Indian as black

[stuck kestrel]

not if ur 800

[acoustic mason]

True

[stuck kestrel]

london works because u can play it against almost anything

[teal herald]

Why?

KIA is good

[acoustic mason]

Idk actually. I'm mostly repeating what I read in my KID course

[honest drift]

KID is trash

[stuck kestrel]

me on my way to give opening advice even though i only play one opening and dont know anything else

[honest drift]

Basically anything else is better for black lol

[grim edge]

im pretty sure i dont understand the openings i play at all

[acoustic mason]

Said it's possible but not recommended. But to be fair, the main reason cited was that you wouldn't learn as much because you're just playing the same moves every game

[stuck kestrel]

i dont think anyone does

[honest drift]

No ur just bad lol

😐

[stuck kestrel]

thats why i make my own openings

[grim edge]

well yeah i am bad

and im ok with that

[inland helm]

how?

[stuck kestrel]

ur not very good either

[honest drift]

Nah I am

[stuck kestrel]

i meant i just play whatever i feel like.

[acoustic mason]

We get it pratham, you're good at chess. Sit down.

[honest drift]

Cry about it duck

[grim edge]

there are 1300-1500 players who dont know openings, they just try to play good moves.

[stuck kestrel]

ur scared of 1v1ing tilt

[honest drift]

Why are you giving horrible advices to people

[stuck kestrel]

why

[honest drift]

KID is literally bad

[wise mortar]

Ootl, what’s with Alireza tournament right now? Beside all the controversies, does he need more ratings for candidates tournament or something?

[honest drift]

I can 1v1 him and i will have a losing score, probably like 10-4 or 10-5

[stuck kestrel]

why do people play it

[acoustic mason]

Hikaru plays it so I guess it's not that bad

[stuck kestrel]

so ur not good

[primal fern]

do you have a chess.com account?

[honest drift]

Hikaru is a god at KID

Magnus plays qa4, f3 kd1 qe1

[stuck kestrel]

he plays it and hes better than u.

[inland helm]

does anyone wanna play a match

[wise mortar]

Yes, do i really need to link it?

[honest drift]

Im convinced your iq is below room temp

[fickle ingot]

a

[stuck kestrel]

Can u explain why im wrong on that

[honest drift]

I dont play it because i will get blown off the board

[stuck kestrel]

because ur bad

[honest drift]

😂

[stuck kestrel]

lol

[primal fern]

am board

[acoustic mason]

Every time someone disputes your claims you just call them dumb good argument, so smart

[honest drift]

Yeah you dare not dispute correct statements

[stuck kestrel]

he has only 1 counter for everything man

i bet ur iq is below room temp

[honest drift]

Cuz it is lol

Cry abt it

[acoustic mason]

You could just say why we are wrong if what we say is truly that dumb

[stuck kestrel]

lol fr

[grim edge]

explaining why you have an opinion needs to be more common lol

[stuck kestrel]

yeah

[grim edge]

its annoying when people make statements with no explanation

[honest drift]

Opinions are trash anyways, not everybody should have them

[grim edge]

boring and pointless. helps nobody even if youre correct

once upon a midnight dreary

[stuck kestrel]

applies to you well

[wise mortar]

How to link my chess acount to this server?

[honest drift]

Facts dont care about your opinions

[stuck kestrel]

hi calliope

[acoustic mason]

"hikaru is a god at KID" and "KID is trash" are such conflicting statements. My iq must be too low to understand the logic

[honest drift]

Hikaru is so good he can play KID and win. He also has so much practice with that opening

[grim edge]

if you cant defend a 'fact' with evidence it's pretty hard to believe youre correct lol

as I pondered weak and weary
over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore

[lucid vortex]

/ connect

[wise mortar]

That’s mean you cant watch Rick and Morty only 200 iq can understand waaah

[honest drift]

My evidence, engine eval after KID mainline

[acoustic mason]

So KID is hard to master, not necessarily trash?

[stuck kestrel]

pratham is a different life form from us humans, he has transcended space time and his reasoning is far too advanced for us mortals to comprehend

[honest drift]

Yeah its trash if you arent good at chess

[acoustic mason]

It's a black opening. Of course eval will swing towards white

[honest drift]

It swings a lot.

[stuck kestrel]

everything is trash if ur trash bro, what point are u trying to make lol

[honest drift]

Nah it isnt lol

KID is just easy disadvantage

[acoustic mason]

What's your go to black opening?

[grim edge]

Hmm KID is solid but I’d still choose d5 or Benoni

tbh when i used to play hearthstone against legend players at tourneys and stuff, everyone had strong opinions and didnt really have good reasons for such opinions. it was bizarre

[acoustic mason]

Against e4

[honest drift]

Against d4 i go semi slav

E4 i go alekhine or e5.

[stuck kestrel]

and against e4

[grim edge]

every time I say this I will start a revolt so…

[honest drift]

Alekhine is also bad by eval but atleast its tricky asf

[stuck kestrel]

FR*NCH ?!

[acoustic mason]

Ok so if I play one of those in my 600 elo pool I'll be guaranteed a win?

[grim edge]

Oui

[honest drift]

No lol

[stuck kestrel]

this is why ur bad

you couldve been gm had u not picked up fr*nch

[acoustic mason]

So your openings are trash

[honest drift]

Your iq must be in the negatives

[grim edge]

pipe down I’m still better than you by a significant margin

[stuck kestrel]

and u taught poor louis fr*nch too and ruined his career

[acoustic mason]

Right on cue

[honest drift]

If eyepatch has 50 IQ, harp has -50

[stuck kestrel]

Being better than me isnt an achievement. my peak is only 1800

[grim edge]

I told him he needn’t follow me and I could teach him whatever he liked

why do people obsess over iq

[acoustic mason]

Find a new comeback

[honest drift]

Intelligence

[stuck kestrel]

People who obsess over iq are the stupidest

[grim edge]

IQ doesn’t matter just be a nice person unlike me and that’s it

[stuck kestrel]

Iq isnt even an accurate measure

[spiral harbor]

Me who's just sitting and chilling and enjoying 2 people argue

[honest drift]

Iq is accurate, ur just mad cuz u have 50 iq

[grim edge]

At the end of the day as long as you are happy, you are winning in life

[stuck kestrel]

[honest drift]

Happy and smart both

[acoustic mason]

Even if it was, it doesn't even apply to chess. Someone can be high iq and terrible at chess

[stuck kestrel]

U are neither of those

[grim edge]

its a flawed way of measuring intelligence because it specifically focuses on things that identify whether you're well educated. you can be extremely talented at a trade or business skills though and have a low iq.

[spiral harbor]

facts

[honest drift]

Yeah im extra happy and insanely smart

[stuck kestrel]

lmao

[opal birch]

ok Johan Liebert

[grim edge]

Hmm

I just came back from piano lesson

I’m feeling kinda low

[acoustic mason]

Wow, I wish I knew how to get rid of all my insecurities like pratham did. He's so cool

[honest drift]

Anyways guys have a nice day i wasnt so serious in this convo

[stuck kestrel]

If u call people dumb in a debate then it means you are stupid yourself

[honest drift]

Chill out im sorry if ur so hurt

[stuck kestrel]

im not

[grim edge]

tbf i find iq tests fun i should do one again lol

[stuck kestrel]

this is why i hate discord debates

[acoustic mason]

Mhmm

[honest drift]

Start winning discord debates, u will like them more

[grim edge]

wouldnt call it a debate when someones just calling people low iq lol

[stuck kestrel]

how about u start getting some bitches
