[west reef]

damn it

[tight lily]

if u focus a lot u'll get to 1500 at no time

[west reef]

its possible

[vivid yoke]

course it is

[west reef]

Mayve i will

[tight lily]

and also do some puzzles and learn some openings

[tight lily]

arent u 1500

[west reef]

I mean I learnt 2 openings and am stuck with it

[west reef]

no i am 1400

[tight lily]

oh

even for me to improve i should still do puzzles

[vivid yoke]

which 2

[west reef]

what does learning opening even matter tho man

[tight lily]

if u wanna get destroyed by a opening trap that u dont know

[west reef]

Ofc i know main lines and variations of these 2 openings that i play

[tight lily]

idk

[west reef]

like I know at least 10 moves inside these openings

after that its middlegame anyways

[grim edge]

:3

[tight lily]

if u know the middle game ideas

np

[vivid yoke]

do you play e4 or d4

[west reef]

yea i need middlegame ideas

[west reef]

d4

[tight lily]

scotch gambit its pretty straight forward

[west reef]

I play queens gambit

[tight lily]

i reccomend you looking at it

[tight lily]

thats also good and solid

[vivid yoke]

do you know the elephant trap

[tight lily]

and an upside of playing d4 is you dont face the sicilian

[vivid yoke]

stockfish likes queens gambit I guess

[west reef]

ik scotch, its e4, Nf3 followed by d4 ?

[vivid yoke]

yes

[west reef]

then Nxd4 ?

[tight lily]

yes but then you dont capture back you play Bc4

[vivid yoke]

yes

[tight lily]

thats the scotch gambit

[vivid yoke]

then Qxd4

[west reef]

i see

[vivid yoke]

but most of the time you don't want to recapture the pawn

you want to attack straight away

[west reef]

I am not comfortable with playing e4 man

[last verge]

why not

[tight lily]

e4 e5 nf3 nc6 d4 exd4 bc4 and yes

[west reef]

like 1 in 100 games i might play e4

[tight lily]

i like this a lot

[west reef]

and when i do play, I go for either ruy lopez or italian

[vivid yoke]

I like the ruy lopez

[tight lily]

ruy lopeeezzzzzzzz......... when its closed i hate it

[west reef]

just cuz i play d4

[tight lily]

😭

[vivid yoke]

what's the closed ruy lopez

[last verge]

i play e4 but im still comfortable with other openings just not as experienced

[vivid yoke]

berlin defence?

[tight lily]

idk the lines of ruy lopez but the position can be closed sometimes

[west reef]

I see

what tip would u give for a weak 1400 like me

[vivid yoke]

I think you're talking about the morphy defence

[vivid yoke]

what tip would u give for a weak 1169 like me

[tight lily]

might be, the ones where black develops his bishop to e7 and play d6 and the center is closed

iiiii rlly dont like those stuff

[west reef]

everyone says puzzle, like i do puzzles, it just help to recognize some tactics and thats abt it

[last verge]

branch out and explore, study openings you like and play more games. you just need more experience

[tight lily]

its personal tho

[vivid yoke]

oh that's not the morphy defence

[tight lily]

also giv tips pls :3

[west reef]

mhm,, okay

[tight lily]

the same goes for me too?

ok i go study from chessbase

goodbye

[forest jasper]

I can help

[lime lava]

UwU

[west reef]

whats ur rating

[nimble niche]

chess is for nerds

[lime lava]

Your pfp looks like enel combined with Mr 1

[west reef]

damn

[lime lava]

[west reef]

It looks like if Big mam and King had baby

[forest jasper]

You said that 1800 times

[upbeat viper]

[forest jasper]

@west reef what do you consider the queen's gambit

I assume qgd

[west reef]

d4, d5, then c4

yea after that, if declined, just develop

and if accepted, play e4

thats wut i do

[nimble niche]

d4 d5 c4 dxc4 e3 Be6

[forest jasper]

from there black can play Nf6 or Bc5 or Dxc4 or c6 or e6 or c5 or e5

[lime lava]

e3 bettuwu

[forest jasper]

Don't do that

[west reef]

if black plays out knight

[forest jasper]

Best move is Nf3 against qga

[west reef]

i push my pawn to touch that knight

[west reef]

No i like that idea

[nimble niche]

e4 is inviting b5

[west reef]

daniel naroditsky taught that line

[forest jasper]

What if they respond with e5 immediately

[west reef]

i love that line

[forest jasper]

Nf3 and e3 is much better, easier and more solid

[west reef]

if they respond with e5, i go d5

[forest jasper]

That is bad

[west reef]

maybe it is lol

[forest jasper]

Computer says -1

[nimble niche]

black should hang onto the pawn with Be6

[west reef]

rlly

[forest jasper]

And every QGA player who plays e5 knows d5 lines

[west reef]

whats ur username, i amma play QG with u

comon lets play

[forest jasper]

If black tries to hold onto the pawns you just play a4 and b3

[west reef]

it wont be productive if we talk abt opening here like this

at least i will learn what u said, if we play a game

[vivid yoke]

@west reef

[west reef]

?

[vivid yoke]

what if your opponent plays kings indian defence

[forest jasper]

White gets a lead in development

[forest jasper]

Bad opening

[vivid yoke]

or maybe englund gambit

[severe oxide]

im cooking fr

[forest jasper]

that is disgusting

[severe oxide]

englund is fine

[forest jasper]

why did those 2 come to mind

[nimble niche]

englund is fire

[forest jasper]

Maybe hartlaub charlick is fine

[vivid yoke]

and how id that?

is*

[forest jasper]

Englund is refuted

[severe oxide]

false

[forest jasper]

The Qe7 line

[nimble niche]

refuted but fine in blitz

[west reef]

if opponent play indian defense, i go e3

[stone sleet]

hello

[severe oxide]

i play englund in classical

[west reef]

and knight f3, Bishop e2

etc

[severe oxide]

got a 100% winrate

[forest jasper]

Qe7 line is refuted, hartlaub charlick is fine and soller is fine

[forest jasper]

which line of the englund

[severe oxide]

all of them

[nimble niche]

they're all refuted but idc

[west reef]

if someone plays Englund

i decline that gambit

and i close out the whole board

I dont open up

[severe oxide]

idc? 👀

[forest jasper]

If you accept and know like 4 moves you will be better

[nimble niche]

my account fr

[severe oxide]

nah fr ? accepted is way better

[west reef]

ik queen has to come out early, if i acept that gambit

[forest jasper]

Maybe london and colle players don't know the refutation

[severe oxide]

15-0 against ur self

[stone sleet]

london is pretty good against kid

[forest jasper]

Englund Gambit Declined: Reverse Mokele Mbembe on top

[west reef]

I dont like bringing out queen early like scandanavian ass players

[vivid yoke]

but @west reef plays queens gambit not london

[forest jasper]

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[nimble niche]

oh no that's a violation of fp im getting banned

[forest jasper]

2 of the most braindead openings face each other

[vivid yoke]

london is boring, you have to play the same moves again and again

[desert oxide]

🔇🔇🔇

[west reef]

sometimes i kinda mix London and queens gambit setup, i think that opening has its own name

[severe oxide]

fr

[forest jasper]

Same with the king's indian

[forest jasper]

harwitz attack?

[west reef]

like i play typical queens gambit setup sometimes but i bring out bishop like london

[stone sleet]

bruh then play scandi and hang your queen

[west reef]

d4, c4, e3

bishop f4 i think

[forest jasper]

That's called harrwitz attack

[west reef]

Night f3

[west reef]

yea maybe

[nimble niche]

exchange qg is better than non exchange qg change my mind

[vivid yoke]

I thought Hikaru liked KID?

[forest jasper]

Catalan better than all of that

[west reef]

indian defense is played at high level all time

[forest jasper]

He is a gm

[west reef]

against d4

[nimble niche]

kid is the wild opening where anything could happen

averbakh is pretty difficult to play against for kid players

[west reef]

what if someone plays e5 against Reti opening ? :Rofl:

[forest jasper]

kid players when their opponent doesn't let them push their kingside pawns all the way and they don't checkmate themselves?

[west reef]

🤣

[forest jasper]

Averbakh and samisch and gligoric system and smyslov system and exchange and everything else

[west reef]

Playing reti refutes englund gambit players

[vivid yoke]

if the opponent king castles queen side then black has to attack on the queen side

[west reef]

Playing reti is asking to play d4

d4, d5 line

[forest jasper]

It's not called the reti unless opponent plays d5 and you play c4

[nimble niche]

i like averbakh the most for white

[west reef]

yea

[nimble niche]

though i dont play d4 much

[forest jasper]

I play the smyslov system but with Be2, e3 and 0-0

And they just create weaknesses

[west reef]

Catalan is nice too

[forest jasper]

And collapse

[west reef]

catalan has to be best d4 variation

[forest jasper]

But real ones play the grunfeld

[nimble niche]

so many kid players let you close the kingside in the averbakh

no pawn breaks and you just get a free queenside attack while they do nothing

[west reef]

Grunfeld and Modern defense always confuse me

i mistaken one with other sometimes

[forest jasper]

After d4 Nf6 c4 g6 there are the braindead players and the grunfeld players

KID players are the kinds of people who play scandi or e5

[severe oxide]

e5 is fine

[nimble niche]

kid players probably play pirc

[glossy radish]

morning

[west reef]

c5 is best

sicilian for the win !

[forest jasper]

kid players probably play pirc and kia

[severe oxide]

sup

[west reef]

c5, a3, e3

[zealous pulsar]

yoo anyone wanna play?

[west reef]

[severe oxide]

[west reef]

horwitz attack

[glossy radish]

[viscid jacinth]

[torpid lintel]

Not good

[viscid jacinth]

Man tf

[west reef]

[viscid jacinth]

I dont got what it takes

[queen totem]

not with that attitude!

[viscid jacinth]

This is so sad

[grim edge]

thanks

[viscid jacinth]

I can beat you blindfolded

fr no cap totally not joking

[forest jasper]

He forgot blackmar diemer gambit, torre attack

[viscid jacinth]

uh i cant talk

@queen totem

[forest jasper]

And he forgot richter-veresov attack

[viscid jacinth]

Rn

[forest jasper]

And he forgot jobava london

[west reef]

@grim edge no probs

this guy look like he listed everything

[queen totem]

thats alright Ran just wanted to know whether the stream came good for you or not

[west reef]

yes the Jobava london yess !!!

[winter helm]

hello

[west reef]

thats knight c6 no ?

[forest jasper]

richter veresov is better

[west reef]

i mean knight c3

[winter helm]

i havent heard of some of these

[forest jasper]

d4 d5 Nc3 Nf6 Bf4

[west reef]

without pushing the c4

[forest jasper]

Rat defense is quite dubious

And it isn't every rat defense

[grim edge]

thanks, too

[proud bluff]

cool

[forest jasper]

because there's the rat defense: harmonist which is e4 d6 f4

But like every other rat defense

[west reef]

how do u response to albin countergambit btw

i have realized accepting that gambit makes me lose queen

[forest jasper]

Nf3 a3

[west reef]

i realized that mistake when i was 1100

[forest jasper]

I accept it and then I play Nf3 a3

[west reef]

that simple tactic with bishop check

[forest jasper]

And if I can't play e3 I play g3

[west reef]

classic fossil

[forest jasper]

accepting it is fine

[west reef]

deflects king and wins queen

[west reef]

yea i never accept it

I kinda play it like tarrasch

i close down everything

[forest jasper]

Accepting it is for the best

1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 d4 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. a3

And from there play e3 if allowed

If not, play g3 Bg2

[grim edge]

Anyone here have a case of gingervitis?

[west reef]

yea all i know when someone play albin counter gambit against queens gambit is

do not lose the center !

thats all i am telling myself

I try to dominate center

[wispy plover]

how do you counter the fried liver attack????

[west reef]

lmao

i play d4, fried liver never occurs to me

[forest jasper]

e4 c5

But no joking

[west reef]

mostly ppl play fried liver with e4, italian setup

[forest jasper]

I can show you how to avoid fried liver

Also it's not called the fried liver until white sacs on f7

And even then lolli attack is better

[west reef]

some ppl try to fry liver with London opening setup its funny, i can just trade out their bishop

[severe oxide]

Fried liver is e4 e5 nf3 nc6 bc4 nf6 ng5 ??

[grim edge]

Just hit 100 subs

[forest jasper]

but @wispy plover just play e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Bc5

[west reef]

yea it is e4 line

[forest jasper]

And he can't go Ng5 because the queen covers g5

[west reef]

basically, when someone tries to attack pawn infront of king, with the knight and bishop combo

[forest jasper]

NO THAT IS NOT THE FRIED LIVER THAT'S THE KNIGHT ATTACK

[west reef]

oh yea

[forest jasper]

no

[forest jasper]

that's the knight attack

[west reef]

whats the difference

[wispy plover]

Ok

[wispy plover]

Alr

[severe oxide]

d5 exd5 nxd5 nxf7

[west reef]

well in any rate, fried liver tries to fork the queen and rook

[forest jasper]

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7

[west reef]

and or king and rook

[forest jasper]

fried liver is a knight sacrifice not a fork

How are you 1500 yet you know so little about openings

[west reef]

Oh

i mostly play d4 thats why lol

[forest jasper]

Still

You called every knight fork a fried liver

[forest jasper]

Yes

[winter helm]

[west reef]

i just heard that fried liver from hikaru

[west reef]

lmao

basically it occurs right at the opening no ?

when opposition hasnt castled

I am not calling every fork a fried liver lmao

[forest jasper]

HIkaru is not a really good person for opening explanation imo

Danya does it way way better

[upbeat viper]

factual

[west reef]

danya is better yea

its not like i watch hikaru to learn opening lmao

[west reef]

I just watch for fun

[forest jasper]

He goes like umm chat this is pretty pog? chat is this real? and then he shows 1 game and that's it

[west reef]

hahah yea

[random drum]

[barren terrace]

[barren terrace]

[forest jasper]

Knight attack is bad because after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5, White plays Na5 or b5

[flint fox]

el buttery

[minor owl]

[rose oyster]

im on vc for a while rn, anybody welcome to join

[ionic trench]

Whats ur rating?

[plucky patio]

Peak was like 1200 rn im at 930 rapid (haven’t played in forever) and 855 blitz

[ionic trench]

Damn nice

[plucky patio]

Nah bro

[ionic trench]

Whats ur main tc

[plucky patio]

I’m still out here losing in like 20 moves some games

TC?

[ionic trench]

That happens to me as well

Tc time control

[echo kestrel]

Same

[plucky patio]

Blitz 5|0

[echo kestrel]

3+0

[ionic trench]

Nice same

[plucky patio]

Some games I run out of time others I barely use 2 min

[ionic trench]

Well sort of, ive been playing a lot of 3+0 cause it helps in flagging opponents

3+2 is like you almost never flagging

[plucky patio]

Flagging always feels so good and so bad at the same time

[echo kestrel]

I can't stop blundering... please help me 😭

[ionic trench]

Idk man I feel good either way, like just because my opponent doesn't know how to manage time I'm not gonna be mad about it

[plucky patio]

😭

[west reef]

[ionic trench]

Is that the duras gambit

[west reef]

whats the name of that gambit

[echo kestrel]

Yes

[opal birch]

Brah I’m swear I’m actually disowning my cat, mf pissed on my guitar and the blanket, chair and floor

[ionic trench]

I see

[echo kestrel]

Duras

[west reef]

Duras...

[echo kestrel]

It got me to 2200. You should play it

[forest jasper]

why play this

[west reef]

I thought benoni was worst, that looks even worse

[ionic trench]

Next time pee in his bed

[forest jasper]

?????????????? benoni is really good

[plucky patio]

What are the follow ups

[west reef]

benoni trash

[forest jasper]

Benoni >>> kid

[ionic trench]

.......

[echo kestrel]

This is why

[west reef]

nobody plays it !

[echo kestrel]

53% win percentage at the 2200 level

[forest jasper]

benoni is really nice

[ionic trench]

WHAT

[west reef]

I am a d4 player. and i rarely see benoni

[ionic trench]

Thats wild I'm learning that shitt

[echo kestrel]

You're trash

[west reef]

i think i saw one or two this month

[plucky patio]

I just play Gucci piano and hope for the best

[ionic trench]

I'm a d4 play I see a lot of benoni

[west reef]

ik ik

[echo kestrel]

I know the first 10 moves of like 10 different lines of Duras

[ionic trench]

Yea imma have to learn them lines too

[echo kestrel]

Benoni sucks as black. I literally had to learn a whole other line just to get out of it

[viscid jacinth]

As a banana player i agree

[ionic trench]

Shidd crazy

[west reef]

yes

[ionic trench]

I reached low 1500 blitz today

[forest jasper]

Duras just gives up the f pawn

And if you really don't like playing against it you can just transpose into staunton

Or play 1, d4

[west reef]

Benoni is bad,- Hikaru's opinion

i copied that . lmao

[forest jasper]

Hikaru plays the king's indian

[west reef]

ofc

[ionic trench]

D4 is underrated tbf like people hate on d4 a little too much, but I agree London is annoying

[west reef]

Indian defense is nice

[forest jasper]

I don't listen to king's indian players when it comes to openings

[west reef]

haha

[forest jasper]

Yeah, nimzo indian

[west reef]

KID is played a lot in OTB parks

[ionic trench]

I tried kid when I was knew to chess and I almost never win with it I just don't get it

[west reef]

like someone who doesnt know jackshit abt chess, is playing KID unknowingle

[forest jasper]

It is a hypermodern opening

[ionic trench]

So I just have no openin for black

[west reef]

they dont even know the name of openings, they just play intuition based

[forest jasper]

Play qgd

[west reef]

but those park hustlers are still good

[forest jasper]

if someone plays the king's indian intuition based then their intuition is horrible

[ionic trench]

If I get a qg then I just albin countergambit

[west reef]

Lmao, its a passive opening i know

[ionic trench]

I'm not good playing passive

[forest jasper]

it's not a passive opening

[west reef]

and if u are a good defensive player

u shud play Indian for sure

[forest jasper]

It's an agressive opening

[west reef]

KIA is aggresive

[forest jasper]

Why do you call every knight fork the fried liver and the king's indian the indian

[west reef]

indian defense with g6 is what am talking abt

[forest jasper]

There are many indian defenses

[west reef]

against d4

[ionic trench]

Ever tried queens gambit 4 pawn attack? That shid is wild

[west reef]

yea

[last willow]

would anyone be so kind to analyze a game for me

[west reef]

d4, Knight f6

isnt that Indian defense ?

[forest jasper]

lichess has free analysis

[forest jasper]

Yes

[ionic trench]

I played that opening by accident otb (friendly game)

[west reef]

yes

so isnt that passive ?

[forest jasper]

But it branches out

[ionic trench]

I like the 4 pawn attack cause it controls a lot of space and shid

[west reef]

yea it does

[forest jasper]

no

[forest jasper]

Branches out into actual good openings and the king's indian defense

[ionic trench]

If you know how to play it your opponent can fold cause it's not common to see 4 phaking pawns in your ass

[west reef]

while u busy fianchetto ur bishop and playing knight f6

dont i take away all the center ?

[forest jasper]

maybe at amateur level

[ionic trench]

Perhaps

[forest jasper]

Not in the nimzo

[west reef]

yea not in nimzowitsch ofc

[ionic trench]

I mean even at low intermediate opponents have no opening knowledge

[forest jasper]

You are talking about openings yet you know almost nothing about them

[forest jasper]

nimzo indian

[west reef]

there are many variations

i cant keep up names

[ionic trench]

And 1500s as very pretty shid

[west reef]

but i guess, i can tell by looking at board

[echo kestrel]

Lol these guys are e4 players, they don't know the stauton

[west reef]

cant say which is which just talking here lmao

[ionic trench]

I've almost never played 34

[forest jasper]

Yeah

[echo kestrel]

But it gets into a position that I know how to play better than my opponents

Do you know the first 10 moves of every line in Duras as white? No
Do I ask black? Yes

[west reef]

U are d4 player ?

[last willow]

how i do it if i played on cc

[echo kestrel]

No..

I play king's gambit ideally

[west reef]

what u play

[west reef]

dammnnn i tried that

[forest jasper]

W

[echo kestrel]

It's fantastic

[west reef]

got destroyed in 5 moves

[echo kestrel]

What your rating btw?

[flint fox]

Have money

[west reef]

bruh

[echo kestrel]

Well you clearly screwed something up lol

[west reef]

yea

[grim edge]

Is there any negative Health effects to lightly scratching chest everyday 5 hours a night for 3 years?

[forest jasper]

1700 lichess

[west reef]

obv...

[echo kestrel]

56% win percentage with kg at the 2200 level yayyy

[west reef]

when a Queen gambit player suddenly plays Kings gambit, ofc likely to mess it up

[echo kestrel]

Alr so 1500

[west reef]

[echo kestrel]

Ahh yeah. Queen's gambit has 0 risk involved lol. If you mess up the King's Gambit, you done

[forest jasper]

the two rating systems are different but around 1500

[west reef]

kings gambit gets too tactical

[echo kestrel]

Yep

[echo kestrel]

You get to attack, it's great

[west reef]

while queen gambit gets slow and positional

[west reef]

yea

[echo kestrel]

I still can't get the Muzio right.. I mess that up all the time

I actually played a Muzio correctly last week and I was so happy

[forest jasper]

I play king's gambit when I play blitz

It's really fun

[west reef]

can we play one game ?

[forest jasper]

preferrably 3. Bc4

[west reef]

try ur Kings gambit , i think u will destroy

[echo kestrel]

Lol I play all my openings even in classical tournaments. I've drawn a WCM with Duras in a 60+5 otb game lol
