[raven geyser]

this is a honest question : how do you stop "chess blindness", like I have games where i just forget that i hung a piece or my mind just can't process that there is a bishop somewhere on the other side of the board waiting to take my queen. It would really help to get some tips to counter that as, to be fair that is the only thing keeping me from going up in rating

[river meteor]

When do you think chess will be forgotten?

[alpine moth]

U cant

[river meteor]

LOL

Ok same thing for latvian

[late forge]

Alr what happens when one of the grandmasters attcks the other grandmaster

[river meteor]

Question: what is the best way of learning new openings and lines: by books, in wikipedia (i do that), in the internet, or on yt vids?

Pawns can promote to Kings so when you get checkmated your pawn on the 7/2 rank turns into a king and its just 50% checkmate

[light heron]

What opening do you dislike to play against?

[late forge]

What happens when grandmasters at the world championships get so fed up with chess that they start a riot

[daring sky]

Spanish London Caro

[south flax]

Give bishops a necromancy ability

[river meteor]

What happens if a chess game lasts forever? In most tournaments you gain time per move, so theoretically, you could play up to 5898 moves in a chess game, which if you get 10 secs per move, and you get a 1.5 hr starring time period, you will play for 58980+90m of time, which will be a long time

Of course

If you get anything from what i mean

[daring sky]

Good Question
