what do you mean the onion thing? Jokes? Jokes existed before monty python

Hello friend i will coach you

son

[nocturne elk]

lmao

think that guy got locked out for fairplay

[idle rain]

locked out for saying e 😭

[prisma pawn]

"I say E, I think E, I play E"

[idle rain]

@weary pollen "tolerance paradox" is complete bullshit btw. It's only Liberals who tolerate bigotry in an effort to be "civil", because they're too scared of damaging their optics and potentially losing voters. actual leftists and REAL tolerance doesn't allow bigotry to fester. Being tolerant to a racist is racism itself, tolerating a bigots presence is bigotry in itself. If you're not making the space safe for minorities and those historically oppressed, you're not making a safe space, you're making a racist club, which there are enough of.

[weary pollen]

son i didnt even participate in that discussion

did you mean to ping @tribal silo

[idle rain]

💀 i thought you did

whatever

[analog aspen]

no one did other than pinkbird talking to a brick wall 😭

[weary pollen]

i swear tim donut contributed

@stiff abyss whatever

[tribal silo]

To what

[analog aspen]

mabe that but meh

[weary pollen]

tolerance paradox discussion

[tribal silo]

Blud i aint agree to shit

I just smiled and waved

[weary pollen]

i thought you were one of the discussors

[tribal silo]

No?????

[weary pollen]

i guess it was just pinkbird

[analog aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-penguin-wave-smile-boys-gif-4858940

[idle rain]

it's not a pradox, i don't think you need to be a particularly well read leftist to understand that allowing bigots in a space in an effort to "allow everyone" is counter productive

it's like allowing a shit flinging monkey into the space and wondering where all the shit came from

[weary pollen]

in my defense youre in almost every discussion and my mosquito bites are getting quite big from scratching them so im kinda distracted

[weary pollen]

i dont read dude only thing i read is chess books

[muted flare]

took my parents car secretly and accidently changed to park while the car was still moving 😭

[tribal silo]

Dude this server has too much juicey ass lore just fan the flames

[weary pollen]

truth nuke

[weary pollen]

i wouldn't be able to hold a discussion with you on this subject lol

[muted flare]

yo guys it jolted and made a weird sound am i cooked?

[analog aspen]

oh shit I sense something is up

[idle rain]

"took my parents car secretly and caused $2500 in damages"

[weary pollen]

im sorry?

[stiff abyss]

You’re not rejecting the tolerance paradox you js oversimplifying it. Popper’s point was that tolerance needs limits when intolerance becomes coercive, not that every “unsafe” or offensive opinion can be purged cos the rule becomes: “we tolerate everyone, except whoever our side labels intolerant,” which is just power politics with moral branding and stuff

[tribal silo]

Yes

I canceled the car insurance last week sorry

[analog aspen]

Oh christ here we go

[weary pollen]

@tribal silo do you havbe popcorn

[idle rain]

you damaged up the E brake and differential (?) so ya. It's not totalled but if they have to take it to the mechanic soon you're the reason

[tribal silo]

You need to explain in your words, your perspective thats how the lecture moves the audience

You are at the tap dancing phase

You now need to shift to the ballerina performance

[idle rain]

1: What's your point?
2: It's very easy actually, and productive to make a safe space to say "If you believe people are inherently inequal this is not the space for you"
They're allowed to have that opinion, but if your intentions are to make a space that is comfortable for everyone, INCLUDING minorities and oppressed groups, you need to exclude those who are doing or accepting of the oppression.

they can go to their LDS church discord and be racist there

I'm positive they'll be accepted

[stiff abyss]

That works for a private space, not as a principle for society , like exclude people trying to strip others’ rights, not anyone you can frame as “accepting oppression.”

Example: “minorities shouldn’t vote” = out.
“I disagree with this policy” = not the same thing.

[muted flare]

i was moving like 5kmh trying to park been 30 mins moving with it no weird sounds or anything

hopefully its ok

[tribal silo]

Birds can sing a whole life story in a moment yet they die before they reach the sun

the audience leaves before you hit the climax of your debate

You must sing the argument in one swoop

Back in taipei we had to sing in one go

[stiff abyss]

not everything is singable tim

[tribal silo]

About our journey, our struggle, and the battles to daily life

[tribal silo]

Birds represent a lot of things

[stiff abyss]

in my case its js a bow

[tribal silo]

Ive learned a lot

The baoshu river has many birds of all species

[idle rain]

this is a private space. Are they being excluded from public society by being racist? No, they literally have a president who agrees with them. Are they being oppressed in any way for their racist beliefs? No, they are empowered compared to the average person of colour.

This is a gosh darned discord server if I'm not wrong, and it brands itself as a server for ALL chess nerds, including the queer and brown ones. If this is to be a space for queer chess nerds of colour, then it has to make the space safe for them, this includes socially shunning those who would wish them harmed.

[stiff abyss]

Fair

[tribal silo]

Maybe youre right but sometimes i think about birds and how they could sing a message

[idle rain]

say you're trans, it is not any less hateful or harmful to hear "I disagree with trans acceptance" as it is "I don't think trans people should exist"

you're just masking hateful rhetoric in "civil" language

it's evil, and causes real harm

[tribal silo]

Are you trans, theres many trans players in this community, it transforms this community into a stronger community where we can roll out a welcoming community, we just have to remove racist people like the guy earlier

[idle rain]

i am gender fluid in the way that makes you gay if you wanna kiss me

[tribal silo]

Wait what

[idle rain]

it's okay

[tribal silo]

Ok then back to the equality thing?

well it seems like a standstill

[idle rain]

why do you want to have a discussion about equality

it's simple, we're all equal

[weary pollen]

did someone say.... transformers roll out

[tribal silo]

No you and bird were talking about some stuff

It made me realize that sometimes we can argue and the journey ends at a rough river where nobody dares to advance or retreat

[arctic bolt]

I'm more equal than you tho

[tribal silo]

Bro

[idle rain]

they just wanted to tout some nonsense and feel smart about a right wing talking point to try to dupe liberals into either allowing bigots into safe spaces, or to erase safe spaces altogether

[analog aspen]

son where did you come from

[tribal silo]

Yeah i was hoping we would see some anecdotal stuff or something maybe

[idle rain]

them just going "fair" pissed me off. They egged me on to elaborate and explain and convey my message, and by the end of it had nothing to give back

[arctic bolt]

from Lichess

[idle rain]

useless "discussion"

if you want me to be your professor pay me

[stiff abyss]

uh

[tribal silo]

Ah i see

[tribal silo]

Hello again, would you be open to other perspectives in the terms of fairness

[idle rain]

sorry if that wasn't your intent, im just upset with the state of this discord

[stiff abyss]

“Fair” wasn’t me conceding everything ok,it was me accepting the private space point. My actual point is still. but you didnt contest it, so i said fair

[idle rain]

littered with bigots

[tribal silo]

Yeah that other guy earlier set me off

[idle rain]

ok i take it back

[tribal silo]

He just walked in with racism and inequality as his focal point

[stiff abyss]

😹

[tribal silo]

And nobody stopped him until it was too late

Conceptually he already polluted this chat and stirred more controversy

At least hes locked out

[tribal silo]

hello!

[pallid plinth]

why are you saying dihh in a chess server??

[frail barn]

because its general off topic

[naive topaz]

that dih is like a king of chess, like a fboy soft and weak

[haughty estuary]

fr?

I peeled my mango n then realized there were like small strips of skin I didn’t peek off

I still ate it

it was so yummy

[balmy spoke]

Uh sorry? Well u can just tell me nicely if you want me to stop?

No need to be rude ig

[frail barn]

she wasnt being rude

[balmy spoke]

Idk tho, say "dih" is kinda inappropriate

I understand what does she/he mean, but that's inappropriate, just saying

[frail barn]

Ok

[pallid plinth]

I am male

[pallid plinth]

your message wasn't looking appropriate aswell

[balmy spoke]

Where? I don't want to argue here. I also say sorry if i against the rules or something before, but it say general off topic so we can say everything here other than chess right?

I'll stop it here.

Have a great day or night!

[undone sierra]

I think this is the first time I've seen this in analysis

Where the engine perfers a minor imbalance in the opponent's favor over equality

What do y'all think?

[hollow wasp]

Did it swap them after a second?

[undone sierra]

Nope it's pretty stable at that

That was after a good 20 seconds of thought

[hollow wasp]

I feel like I might've seen it before but even still I have no Idea why It would be in that order
Maybe it analysed them to be top three and then later realised the 2nd has an edge but follows the same line

[undone sierra]

Maybe

[potent shell]

yeah i stand by that one

i have seen so many people like that

9/10 lesbians i would say are like that

[fluid egret]

[desert walrus]

THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE AC ITS STILL LIKE 80° UP IN HERE

[tardy lake]

I like both genders, but why is it that you think your opinion on others matter when you know so little

[potent shell]

wdym you like both genders, pick a side dawg

[gusty hatch]

[desert walrus]

[potent shell]

[tardy lake]

Yuh I better lol

[potent shell]

he dm'ed me and called all the slurs in the world

[tardy lake]

Because you were attacking the lgbtq community first

[potent shell]

i was asking questions tho

who do yout hink you are?

[tardy lake]

Mhm

[fluid egret]

What you’re calling glazing is just defending people who you attacked

[desert walrus]

“Glazing” when it’s just treating someone respectfully

[tardy lake]

Ilo ur really good at chess

[pure rain]

panda bro your the one who’s acting like the discord mod

[fluid egret]

it’s like saying because I don’t scream the n word at someone I’m glazing them

[potent shell]

[tardy lake]

I am a discord mod lol

[icy dune]

<@&745328830649991179>

[potent shell]

you started calling me those

[tardy lake]

Not here but in other servers

[desert walrus]

panda im on theyre side u gay bi lesbian pervert

[gusty hatch]

._________.

[tardy lake]

Are u using these as insults lol

[weary pollen]

no you dont need to be lesbian

[fluid egret]

I think what they’re saying is that panda is perverted against lgbtq people

[tardy lake]

He gets it

[gusty hatch]

guys i bet none of u have played against a FM on chess.com before

[weary pollen]

how is one perverted "against" a group of people

[weary pollen]

i do

[fluid egret]

bad wording 💔

[tardy lake]

Voyerism lol

[weary pollen]

but that's not "against", and it just means you like watching?

[tardy lake]

They just mad while doing it

[weary pollen]

son i think youre making up a situation

[fluid egret]

that’s crazy

let’s not make an argument about something I said that was worded wrong

[tardy lake]

I’m just trying to interpret the same thing as u lol

[tardy lake]

What were you going for?

[fluid egret]

I STILL DONT KNOW HOW TO WORD IT

nvm I guess 😭

I think panda got muted

[fluid egret]

[weary pollen]

true ive never played an FM 😔 maybe one day!

[fluid egret]

Wait you’re 2100 USCF and never played an FM at all?

[weary pollen]

i was lying

[desert walrus]

2400-2600 WHAT

[weary pollen]

oh ive played the brazilian assumpcaos before

[desert walrus]

I had that title for a few days I was so proud

[weary pollen]

i think we are 1.5-1.5 after 3 rapid games

[weary pollen]

change your chess.com username LOL then they can't take it away

[desert walrus]

How many games do u have total

[desert walrus]

Damn

[fluid egret]

faaahhhh I don’t even have 2k yet

[desert walrus]

I have like half of that

[weary pollen]

i think 11000 are from blitz

around 2000 of those 11k are 10minute games before they changed 10min from blitz to rapid

[desert walrus]

UNC

[weary pollen]

son that was in like 2022 or 2023

[fluid egret]

that was a thing???

[desert walrus]

How were the dinosaurs

[desert walrus]

Definitely not 2023

[weary pollen]

yeah my rapid rating gained 600 points in a day because of it

[weary pollen]

yeah it was 2020 my bad

[desert walrus]

[weary pollen]

blitz shows my real improvement though

i just really didn't improve after like 2021

[half finch]

Too strong

[weary pollen]

im a bit washed now

[fluid egret]

damn that’s so many games 😭

you can just see how much you’ve played in that rough aah big graph

[fluid egret]

I might be a little bit too, I stopped playing rated about 2 months ago cuz stress so idk how long it’s gonna take me to get back

schools out in like a week or two so I’ll continue then

Trying to hit 2100+ by the end of August

[weary pollen]

probably 15k games in the first 3 years

i really mellowed out later on

[weary pollen]

i find unrated pointless; it's better to have a graph history of your ups and downs to look at

[fluid egret]

yeah I know, Ive jsut been playing casual and otb

[weary pollen]

but you can continue in school, no? Like reading a chess book while eating, or while traveling to and from places

it's what I was doing, I brought my own books in school

[fluid egret]

stress has been severely cooking me

[weary pollen]

giganerdge

[weary pollen]

i see

[fluid egret]

I’d rather just be a little happier and wait a couple weeks to play rated chess.com

also I didn’t stop playing, just stopped chess.com

I’ve been doing tournaments

[weary pollen]

i see fair enough

[fluid egret]

Although that’s not really a challenge because I’m really underrated USCF so much less stressful

[weary pollen]

personally whenever i take any length of break (1week or more) I notice my play is visibly weaker although my results are still stable

[fluid egret]

yeah I really didn’t want that to happen

[weary pollen]

when i play unrated though I just can't brinmg myself to try

[fluid egret]

I get that

[weary pollen]

also like 99% of the time i match with a lower rated so i dont need to either

but back when that wasn't the case i just didnt like it i guess

well back when it wasn't the case I was still seeing number go up so I guess that was a good motivation

[fluid egret]

do you have a motivation now? Like a goal you’re working towards?

[weary pollen]

ugh a mild amount. i want nm, but i dont have much means of going to tournaments., so I really haven't been caring

just really messing around online with some random bullshit... check this out with the engine: d4 nf6 c4 c5 d5 b5 cxb5 a6 f3 axb5 e4 qa5+ kf2!?

well the point is i want the idea setup with Be3 without having to trade queens with Qd2 and Bd2 is awkward

ideal *

the engine likes d6 more than e6 against kf2, but I think if you want to refute the idea you have to play e6, d6 doesn't make sense as white consolidates fairly easily

[fluid egret]

well, what’s chess without having fun

[frank rock]

Chess is for nerds

[weary pollen]

d4 nf6 c4 e5 dxe5 Ng4 Bf4 g5!? is really fun. It's too bad it loses by force basically

[fluid egret]

Ng3?

[weary pollen]

a london correlary would be d4 e6 bf4 g5!? which isn't very bad; black develops normally with Nc6 d6 e6 Bd7 Qe7 etc and long castles

[weary pollen]

i forgot to add dxe5 after black plays e5

it's from the budapest gambit

[fluid egret]

ok ok

[weary pollen]

i guess i just instinctively assumed white would take i mean theres like no other reasonable move

funny part is 3.e3 against 2...e5 and now 3...Nc6 transposes into a black knights tango, which can easily transpose into a reversed french advance...

[fluid egret]

yes but you just gave me a line with 7 Kf2 💀

I’m not using logic and reason here

[weary pollen]

if im going to be honest my first move instinctively in that position was kf2 and i was just surprised when the engine confirmed

[frank rock]

[weary pollen]

because every other move just feels awkward, but with Kf2 youre aiming for ideal and natural development

[fluid egret]

Bd2 still best though, even if Kf2 not losing

by engine

[weary pollen]

well yes but im saying that kf2 isn't logicless

in fact I would argue that Kf2 is the most ambitious move

because the goal of Qa5+ is to disrupt white's development, Kf2 is trying to keep harmonious development

[fluid egret]

yeah I can see that

[weary pollen]

so basically trying to refute the point of Qa5

there's a line after 7.Kf2 e6 where black sacks a knight on a6 or c6 (white's pawn captures it) and white's king ends up on b3

i can't remember it anymore now though

[fluid egret]

😭

[weary pollen]

i showed this to a friend who was also 2400 and we played 6 games and we scored like 50% from that piece sac position

so it's practical in real games I'd say

[fluid egret]

it’s so funny that we have engines today and you can still do this in game

like technically if you play like an engine it’s less than optimal, but you just get to watch your opponent struggle to punish thst innacurwcy because they’re not an engine

[desert walrus]

Hi I’m back

[fluid egret]

I should start playing this Benko line 💀

[fluid egret]

HIIII I MISSED YOUUU

[desert walrus]

Start playing the grob

[weary pollen]

i was reading a book and the author had a trainer who said that "it takes many small errors to lose; most medicore positions can be held; and if opening books contain one move, then three others are playable"

this was in response to the claim back in the 1980s that "if god played god in the benoni white would win"

[fluid egret]

sure

[weary pollen]

you should, i dont play d4 personally so i've never been able to test it out

[undone sierra]

The benko is so fun bruh

genuinely peak black experience

[weary pollen]

let me introduce you to the modern benoni

[undone sierra]

I tried it for a bit

[weary pollen]

ah you need theory to play it though

[undone sierra]

But I still enjoy the benko overall

[weary pollen]

i see

[desert walrus]

Before I played the grob I liked the queens gambit bc people don’t expect me to start belligerently attacking them

[undone sierra]

Well it was like my main black response to d4 Im pretty sure

[weary pollen]

i used to play the phoenix attack in the colle system (dxc5 with b4!) and that offered me many interesting games

[undone sierra]

Although I couldnt tell you much about the theory now since It has been a while since I have played a game of chess with it

[weary pollen]

the modern? I thought you were a benko

[undone sierra]

Phoenix attack?

[weary pollen]

yeah in the c3 colle when you play dxc5 and b4

[undone sierra]

I do play Benko, but you can play more than one opening 😭

[desert walrus]

I haven’t played rated chess in like a month

[undone sierra]

i played modern before benjo

[weary pollen]

well most benko players actually dont play the modern benoni

like ever

[undone sierra]

ohh i see

[weary pollen]

im somewhat of an openings enjoyer if you couldn't tell

i have 30 opening books LOL

[undone sierra]

I mean I also play the french against e4

So my repertoire isnt very consistent in style

[undone sierra]

I think I only have like 4

[desert walrus]

All I know is funny grob queens gambit and sizzling defense

[undone sierra]

Selecki's keep it simple 2.0 of e4 and d4, and a book on the birds

[weary pollen]

i think starting around 1300 i started to learn like every opening that wasn't normal

[weary pollen]

i have 2 on the bird lol

[undone sierra]

Idk why I bought it tbh, the opening feels self explanatory

[undone sierra]

ohh fair enough

[weary pollen]

the grob is atrocious because one of the main ideas of the grob (bg2) doesn't even work because sacking the rook on a8 is good for black

[undone sierra]

grob queens gambit

fuh

[desert walrus]

I just grab the rook and defend people do NOT know how to attack the grob

[undone sierra]

Theory just sucks tho imo

[desert walrus]

…or maybe I just play it far too much

[weary pollen]

i remember i got so pissed at the opening i made a lichess study on it and grinded the lines for 3 hours straight

[desert walrus]

Only 3?

[weary pollen]

I enjoy learning theory I think it's fun to see new possibilities

not like mainlines but rather sidelines

[undone sierra]

It makes parts of the game so lifeless at times 😭

[desert walrus]

I have probably about 400-500 hours of playing the grob LMAO

[weary pollen]

yeah but you could also play games with c4 e5 nc3 nf6 f4!

[undone sierra]

True I suppose

[weary pollen]

son

[undone sierra]

Things like that are fine I suppose

[desert walrus]

I have over 3k grob games get good!!!

[undone sierra]

Its just like 20 move sicilian lines or obsecure polish sidelines that are super tricky

[weary pollen]

currently im learning some black knights tango theory beacuse im interested in playing a reversed version of it with a3 as white

unsure if I should try to force a tango move order or if normal 1.nc3 is fine

[undone sierra]

just do both

👍

[desert walrus]

Wait a damn minute you tricked us into talking about chess in off topic!

[weary pollen]

tricked? no no no.... you cooperated!

[desert walrus]

NO YOU FIEND

[undone sierra]

Damn I can tell you have read many of opening books

You type genuinely like what I would read in one

[weary pollen]

its a fun pasttime

[weary pollen]

i did nothing wrong

[undone sierra]

I might actually cry

I just lost a game because of internet in the opening 💔

It didn't even said I had poor wifi. I was just waiting for my opponent and all of a sudden it said he won 💔

[weary pollen]

that happened to me once or twice

[undone sierra]

I need to study the opening we went into anyways
