Hello, I'm new here, I apologize if I'm writing in the wrong place. I will ask a question.
I had a 1-month diamond trial membership, I didn't know it was over and they charged me an annual fee without informing me by mail. I want to refund this. I wrote to support, but will this money be refunded? Has anyone refunded it before and how many hours will they respond?
hey! usually i think they will refund it, but i’ve never had this problem. i know others who’ve had this problem. my point is i’m pretty sure you’ll get refunded 
moooo
U got charged for whole year?

thanks

1 year subscription fee charged
Damn I thought u usually get charged for month
Breathe manually
#reaction-roles ignore me
Actually, when I started the trial, I tried to select 1 month, but it asked me to continue by selecting 1 year, and I forgot that I was forgetful.
What is bro expecting with this move?
i'd be disappointed that my son grew up to be such a nerd 🤓
I see

bro my dad played chess the last time like 4yrs ago
and i suck at chess
im like the badest player u see

A lot of ppl in general drink
IDK THE WINE WAS TOO EXPENSIVE already
You know what's crazy carrot vodka
BEER IS CHEAPER

What about choclate vodka
beer is disgusting and makes you fat
Hmm sounds delicious ngl
beer does make people fat...
how about you exersize

As an alcoholic I can confirm
then you can drink beer
Why r u an alcoholic

the more we consume the more we need to exercise

inchos the type of person to shove pencils up his nose change my mind
hey why do you play 1.f4 but not 1...f5
i hope u will never be able to draw ever again
I do play 1...f5
incho's the typa guy to be mad when he hears someone say a "drake the typa guy" joke
But only against d4
LMAO
why not against everything except 1.e4
Because I don't like the dutch that much
i wanna play chess again
bird and dutch are kind of the same tho?
incho's the typa guy to ping and reply to messages of someone who he knows has blocked him in a server
okg bk

Yeah, bird, dutch, sicilian, everything the same
English too
hi bk
i will grind chess for you ❤️
bird and dutch are mirrors of each other
what
oh wait didnt you say ily forever
if u play leningrad dutch you can do 1. f4 2. Nf3 3. g3 which is very similar
Big difference my guy
nvm
huh 
i used to play bird and dutch exclusively
i know well enough
nooo bk 
except one is bad
bk don’t hate me
My man ya aren't even connected
anyone wanna play? (I have 1100 elo )
How would I know if you're a 500 or a 2000
bird is 0.00 and dutch is like +0.3 yeah
you can play a game vs me 🤷♂️
nah its over
Blud acts like it matters on his level

it doesn't really, so you might as well play 1...f5 against everything but e4
1.d4 f5 is the scariest thing for the 1...f5 player anyway
yapper be yapping
I challenge anyone in this server for 100$ send me a link
I simply don't like the opening as much
bird is boring
fr
1.nf3
Did you ever play it
1.f4 f5 is boring
Léningrad dutch kinda fun
f5 is crap vs the bird
yes
no sane person plays this
- Nf3 f5 is playable
white just gets a fun game tho after d3 and e4
yea black is fine if they know what they're doing
1.f4 e5 2.nf3 bg4
a little tricky is all
My man on 1400-1599 yapping about how bird is boring
would you rather say you cant vs g4

and duck found another server to spamm theory on
yapping is 3 words now
no one plays grob so i didn't see the point in mentioning it
bird players when u like to have fun:
I played the bird in an OTB game and won
i beat the bird OTB and it was fun

huh
ment to say huh
No, you wanted to hug me
nah ain't no way up giving you a hug

i love hugs too! <33

well too bad
Not from f4 players tho
how to clobber bird using from's gambit

Once before a tournament i saw a guy reading a chess book, about how to play 1f4, well he was ugly...
how to lose in one move vs the birds
from's gambit is OP
You can't project that on everyone

ikr
i beat a 1600 otb dude. see game lol
No sane, hansome guy plays 1f4, its always the 🤓
Ain't that hard
exactly
an I beat an 1800 USCF with the bird
from's gambit makes it ez
There are always exceptions
@twin moon
Bro wasn't well prepared it seems
they should've studied from's gambit
hm why
its so east to refute
i analyzed it pretty deeply and it seems pretty legit for black
I mean you should accept
what's the line
with what? the g5 line?
Yes Nf3 g5
?
where refutation
Too easy to refute
pls tell line
f4 e5
g3
@peak plank
g4
Nh5 as far as I'm concerned
fxe5
Or Nh4
d6
you mean Nh4?
Yes
Ne7
Who tf plays Ne7
exd6
it's the main move?
Be7 is main line
- f4 e5 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. Nf3 g5 5. g3 g4 6. Nh4 Ne7
Tell the engine Be7 is trash
engine says Be7 is trash
Wait
d4 simply
What is this opening
I just checked you genius
Goofy ahh forms gambit
Fr
Ng6
Bro I ain't gonna play a whole game against you
Be7 is +0.74 and Ne7 is +0.21
Ng2 or smth
+0, 7 being up a pawn means there are comps
Yeah try winning with your 0.02 advantage
Thats no trash
Engine says better for white
h5 h4 and black has a really good attack
black is down a pawn yet eval is equal. says a lot
A really good attack which still is 0.6 better for white
it's +0.1
after your Ng2
Please learn the bird before speaking next time
I played the bird myself lol
i think bird is good
yep, thats the line.
ya can't dismiss from's gambit as being very strong though
white has no troubles in that line
it's very sharp
long castles is very interesting for black but thats about it
It's ok but not very challenging after having looked at it with the engine for 10 minutes
so that is how how banish the trolls from here... u spamm hardcore chess theory
Ok tell me when you find that refutation
so peacefull...
A refutation to what
from's gambit
Bro you literaly joined today and tryna ban people for debatting 💀
i'll give you a hint the top line is 1. f4 e5 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. Nf3 g5 5. g3 g4 6. Nh4 Ne7 7. d4 Ng6 8. Nxg6 hxg6 9. Qd3 Nc6 10. c3 Be6 (10...Be6 is a line i sort of half came up with)
Yes, any single line that refutes it
guys. why are americans so bad at chess. bcs they already lost two towers
not funny
Refuting meaning...?
Only the 1000th person to say that
very funny
Wow, so original
ive heard that too many times
Now say the one with England
<@&745328830649991179>
i mean you're the one dismissing from's gambit as bad, so you got to prove that it's bad
.
i rejoined here to watch the world burn hehehe
But note that even if you prove it's bad (which is hard i assure you, it's actually +0.2 with very deep engine) it's OP practically
and, lets be real, people here asked me questions about religion to then ping mods so i got pissed off
But it is very easy to counter practically as well
the trolls here asked me stuff form banned topics to report me for fun
What do you do to counter it
so I rejoined for payback
To be not worse and often much better
Ng2 and white is practically already worse
you can't just wing it against a prepped player unfortunately
How could you judge that
looking at the lines
the amount of mates i see here are crazy
Atleast you have 6 queens even it was stalemate
There aren't much but that isn't a reason to dismiss from's as trash
stalemate is crazy
that should be like -100 playing that game
React to a message where I said From's Gambit is trash
.
Please stop playing 1f4
Still waiting
easy to refute = trash
Why
How can something be easy to refute and not trash
Your words not mine
Not good in it of itself
Ok, you said it's "easy to refute"
Even if you can refute it, it isn't easy i assure you
But a surprise weapon
For me, it is
Nobody is scared of 1f4 💀

i like seeing 1.f4 because i can have fun with from's gambit
I still win plenty of games because of the quick attacks
I'm scared of 1.f4
Good for you!
@desert lagoon
Would you play f4 in higher time control
Hm so by refute you mean beating your average opponent
Try playing good players
Not sure
Sorry i misunderstood you then lol
I played it in 90+30 as a suprsie weapon
vs an 1800 USCF I knew plays the french
I'd agree that most of the time it's easy to beat people trying out from's gambit
Why not Nf3 or c4
But my understanding of the word "refute" is that you can beat it assuming your opponent has very good prep
Well, although not quite very good 1800s aren't that bad
1.Nf3 is more of a move order annoyance than a surprise weapon
who wanna anylise my trash game
Imagine being so high level that your opponent highly prepares the from's gambit
basically it tests the coherence of your opponents repertoire
i missed so many stuff
Reti gambit is a great choice against unprepared opponents wdym
Hi
agreed
yes
i beat a 1600 by preparing from's gambit decently well
because I got ur bishop on move 6 with it 😄 (lets not talk about the result...)
monkey
I'm talking about people with positional understanding, (usually titled players), no one will be scared about f4
very convincingly
1600 fide?
uscf
yeah but they are o nly 1600

Blitz: 1456 (1585 peak)
Bullet: 1314 (1345 peak)
