[crisp turtle]

Increment meaning additional time per move?

[thorn lark]

increment is nice on blitz I guess

[static onyx]

i want a shark to cuddle with

[wide eagle]

no one cares

[dense mesa]

the clock can be a chess piece if i throw it at the board and knock all the pieces off

[slate shale]

clock shouldn't exist tbh

[wide eagle]

blahaj

[turbid karma]

no increment

[thorn lark]

yes you gain a certain amount of seconds after making a move

[charred geode]

tbh increment isnt for me i just dont like the increment

[hidden gulch]

why yall play with increment what are ya scared of, flagging?

[analog iron]

Increment in blitz fr

[quaint marten]

itss wtv

[exotic smelt]

time to search how to say swear words without getting banned in chess.com server

[deft scarab]

ratio

[crisp turtle]

Increment is cool in blitz but apart from that it's not needed imo

[thorn lark]

I think the same

[hidden gulch]

lol

[charred geode]

i think ima leave this server or something

[analog iron]

Obviously

[hidden gulch]

git gud

[sinful aspen]

no increment

[faint junco]

10|0 supremacy

[hidden gulch]

no increment gang

[thorn lark]

anitta one game when

[spring sky]

Increment is good

[lofty compass]

No!

[hidden gulch]

sorry im busier than I look

[hidden gulch]

increment is cringe

[spring sky]

Danya plays way faster than is.

[analog iron]

Ufts

[exotic smelt]

[lofty compass]

No!

[hidden gulch]

we flag here

[thorn lark]

its fine you have a job i dont

[deft scarab]

flagging for no skill fr

[urban girder]

Increments make it more fun in my opinion.

[crisp turtle]

I've been playing 3|2 recently, I like it

[faint junco]

Are you indian ?

[hidden gulch]

vimun why you alting

[lofty compass]

increments for the win

[deft scarab]

well u do cook meth

[hidden gulch]

no name is a pun

[hidden gulch]

[chrome lintel]

For tournaments I like increment but for casaul play I rather not

[thorn lark]

fr

[hidden gulch]

@chrome lintel fair point ngl

[exotic smelt]

true

[jagged furnace]

increment

[gilded moon]

if you play with no increment youll jus lose on time

[hidden gulch]

not if your opponent loses on time first

[gilded moon]

lol

[haughty terrace]

I don’t as I rather think the stress of being flagged is something you should be use to. It’s a deadly tool that can be used against your opponent or yourself

[lofty compass]

icrement is fun to play with

[faint junco]

Ohh I used to be proud as a Indian is admin of chess.com discord group lol

[analog iron]

Well I really don't care I just play and beat them before time anyway

[lofty compass]

Flagging on bottom!

[hidden gulch]

lol, we do have Akshansh! @faint junco

[wintry drift]

where is red brilliant and blue blunder

[chrome lintel]

Cant wait to see hans play some tournaments on chess.com

[hidden gulch]

@silent dove #old-emote-suggestions

[gilded moon]

increment is better bacause when theres a time scramble the pieces fly off the board and its more fun

[hidden gulch]

so. no increment is better?

[analog iron]

Bruh

[hidden gulch]

you're sending me mixed messages, kid

[faint junco]

Ohh
Indians on the top 🔥🔥🔥

[blissful pilot]

Increment for chess quality, no increment to demonstrate your mouse skills

[viscid nymph]

noice

[chrome lintel]

true

[hidden gulch]

no increment to demonstrate your skill to GIT GUD. COPE. FLAGGED. EZ

[ornate mirage]

I think both are good at times.
No increment tests your knowledge.
Increment tests your ability to make decisions under pressure.

[chrome lintel]

I just won a bunch tournaments so I need to get me a new mouse

[wintry drift]

dead chat smh

[lofty compass]

No!

[hidden gulch]

I say that but Trym, my boss, flagged me while I had MATE IN ONE on the board and I almost broke my laptop

[chrome lintel]

anyone here god bullet players with good mouse recommendations

[hidden gulch]

in a gamer rage moment

[gilded moon]

no i mean that time scramble last longer

[hidden gulch]

make board real tiny. remove animations

[hidden gulch]

oh lmfao

fair

[chrome lintel]

Umm I was talking about getting a new mouse but sure

[hidden gulch]

free tips

no animation helps a LOT

with puzzle battle/rush too

[chrome lintel]

ok I will turn them off

[gilded moon]

i rather increment for classical and bullet

[mossy breach]

increment is only good on bullet 1+1

[gilded moon]

not for rapid and bliz

[hidden gulch]

bullet is not chess, which is why I like no increment. cause I'm not considering bullet

lmfao

[chrome lintel]

you should not even be playing bullet at your rating

[gilded moon]

lol

[chrome lintel]

atleast if you are trying to get better

[hidden gulch]

the potato has a point

[mossy breach]

im not

[hidden gulch]

w

[mossy breach]

im just saying

[analog iron]

3|1 titled Tuesday

[faint junco]

Bullet is best for improvement

[mossy breach]

i usually play 5 min or 10 min

[hidden gulch]

untitled tuesday too

[gilded moon]

na no way bro

[faint junco]

That's why I never play it

[chrome lintel]

real im about to become a gm only playing bullet

I will have to rename to gmpotato

[hidden gulch]

every time someone says that I remember that video with the dude and the glizzy

[mossy breach]

bullet isnt thinking, bullet is just playing random moves and praying theyre not bad

[faint junco]

No

[hidden gulch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsnrtujrRYw

this one

but let's stay in topic

[analog iron]

No prizes there and lot of cheaters 💀

[hidden gulch]

[faint junco]

In bullet you have to calculate deep lines

Need need solid opening repertoire

[gilded moon]

when untitled tuesday?

whta time

[hidden gulch]

we run fair play checks every week. there is a monthly prize for best move, which gets you three months of diamond AND a cool ahh article

[chrome lintel]

I love me a no prize useless tournament

[hidden gulch]

@gilded moon same time as titled one

[hidden gulch]

it's prized, just monthly

and it's pretty fun

[gilded moon]

kk

[chrome lintel]

its about who gets the best move

[hidden gulch]

https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/untitled-tuesdays-best-move-of-july

[chrome lintel]

thats just luck not skill

[hidden gulch]

see this dude won a prize

it ain't luck

[chrome lintel]

yes it is

[hidden gulch]

nah

[mossy breach]

yeah, we all spend 2 minutes thinking in 1 minute bullet matches

[hidden gulch]

Rxg6 is skill

[chrome lintel]

you must pray your opponent is bad enough so you can do some crazy sacrifice

[gilded moon]

agreed

[hidden gulch]

we pick best move out of submissions/high votes

[chrome lintel]

the move itself is skill

[hidden gulch]

we don't pick a terrible game with one luck move lmfoa

lmfao*

[chrome lintel]

but getting to the point to do is luck

[mossy breach]

thats a best move at best, its common sense that if the queen isnt protecting the square you can mate on, you can mate there

[hidden gulch]

plus it's a fun tourney

[zealous vault]

No increment!

[hidden gulch]

copium, check the whole post

it's a great move yall wildin

[hidden gulch]

w

[mossy breach]

its a simple ahh move

[chrome lintel]

also how is that move hard to see

thats such a easy move to see

how did that move win

[mossy breach]

its not thats what im saying

[analog iron]

Probability of getting that prize is 1/10000000000

[mossy breach]

im a 500 and i'd see that bro 💀

[chrome lintel]

I could be a 2400 and lose to a 1400 with that format

[gilded moon]

@hidden gulch what time is untitled tuesday in europe

[mossy breach]

probably like 2AM or something because theyre all westoids

[real rampart]

increment fun

[tough bloom]

Bullet or blitz: no increment
Rapid or classical: increment

[real rampart]

the other way around

[mossy breach]

bullet with no increment 💀

what are you on about bro 💀

[tough bloom]

People be playing 2+2 and calling it bullet l0l

[stray agate]

the idea of bullet is to have a fast game

bullet isn't for the people who won't play so

[mossy breach]

as a wise man once said

"bullet sucks"

[analog iron]

Increment was suggested by Bobby is that true

[hidden gulch]

that's frmo the community club

[analog iron]

Blame yourself

[gilded moon]

its just i live in ireland

[hidden gulch]

https://go.chess.com/communityclub

[gilded moon]

idk what the cet mean

[hidden gulch]

so 14 cest and 23 cest

[hidden gulch]

central european time?

[stray agate]

then your definition of wise man isn't correct
bullet is excellent for developing the skill to critically think in tight situations

[gilded moon]

ohh

[hidden gulch]

4pm your time

[stray agate]

it's invaluable to not learn

[hidden gulch]

and 10pm

nice

[mossy breach]

i aint gonna be able to calculate a line in 4 miliseconds

[stray agate]

you will get close to that metric by playing bullet

[chrome lintel]

I miss the verify tournament thing

[mossy breach]

i dont need to

[thorn lark]

No increment

[gilded moon]

thx!!

[mossy breach]

🗿

[stray agate]

hikaru can play ultrabullet no sweat
purely because he is dedicated to it

[chrome lintel]

increment clearly wins with 69

[tough bloom]

Rapid/classical is for calculation and serious games, blitz/bullet are for quick intuitive games -- the higher your rating, the faster you'll be able to calculate in very little time

[mossy breach]

bro thinks he's hikaru

[hidden gulch]

Danya said many GMs have blocked him cause of his flagging abilities lol

[mossy breach]

im a 500 not a GM bro 💀

[storm flame]

valid

[gilded moon]

who here is above 1500

in rapid

[stray agate]

it feels good to insult, doesn't it

[chrome lintel]

me

[chrome lintel]

im 2k

[gilded moon]

im 1900

[stray agate]

likewise

[chrome lintel]

ok so ?

[gilded moon]

just asking

[chrome lintel]

ok that was random but sure

need to work on my blitz only 1700 blitz

[gilded moon]

nice

[stray agate]

blitz isn't serious chess

[chrome lintel]

i mostly only play rapid though because trying to get better

[chrome lintel]

yeah but I want to get better at blitz for some otb blitz

[stray agate]

by a person saying they preferably play blitz is an indication of their inability to play chess seriously

[split gulch]

increment ofc

[stray agate]

without increment as well

increment is disgrace to chess

whoever came up with it either pitied bad players or was one himself

[chrome lintel]

you are a disgrace to chess

[stray agate]

i mainly play sodium opening to mock players who mock others

[amber talon]

no increment so you can flag your opponent in blitz/bullet

[stray agate]

you would be an example

[chrome lintel]

the only mocking happening is your own rating

[amber talon]

i like increment in rapid tho

[iron hornet]

[stray agate]

you don't even know what my rating is

[chrome lintel]

you talk like a 1000

[mossy breach]

has the intelligence of a 100 ngl

[stray agate]

you haven't reached 1000 yet

[mossy breach]

couldnt care less ngl

[stray agate]

you clearly care enough to talk poorly of me

[chrome lintel]

I bet hes better then you

[stray agate]

what have I done to you

[stray agate]

how much will I make today

[chrome lintel]

nothing with your rating

[mossy breach]

started arguments over someone playing blitz, im just defending the guy you got mad at for no reason lol

[stray agate]

i never said anything about @chrome lintel

[mossy breach]

you kinda did ngl

[stray agate]

people who play blitz can't take chess seriously

primarily

[mossy breach]

discord users trying not to get into an argument for 12 seconds

[stray agate]

i never made this an argument, i voiced what i had to say about increments and you made an argument out of it

[mossy breach]

you didnt talk about increments you talked about blitz

[stray agate]

i said increment is a disgrace to chess

[chrome lintel]

Yes

thats not true

at all

[stray agate]

and blitz is played by people who can't take chess seriously

[chrome lintel]

you are a disgrace to chess with that opinion

[mossy breach]

im sorry but

if youre saying people dont take chess seriously because of the amount of time they put on the clock

you dont take chess seriously

[stray agate]

you're violating rule one by making personal attacks

[chrome lintel]

OoOOooo

very scared

[mossy breach]

youre violating rule one in a different way

[stray agate]

this is the #📊〡community-polls channel, the fundamental backbone of it is to get the opinions of the players
if you can't handle one, leave

blitz isn't serious chess

[chrome lintel]

I can handle your opinion all im saying is my opinion is that your opinion is garbage

[stray agate]

that isn't an opinion, it's an insult

[mossy breach]

its a poll about increment, youre arguing about blitz

[stray agate]

it's 100% ok to have opposing opinions, but if you're going to insult me that's not ok

[stray agate]

blitz is one of the mostly played time setup with increments

[mossy breach]

you insulted hundreds of thousands of people technically

if not more

[chrome lintel]

OoooOo not ok guys

[stray agate]

i said blitz is not serious chess, and that people who play blitz affirm with that

[chrome lintel]

How is blitz not serious chess?

[stray agate]

you are living under a roof because of rules and regulations

[chrome lintel]

my guy your ego seems to be as soft as cotton candy

[stray agate]

blitz isn't serious, because a typical player cannot play chess effectively at 100% of their potential accuracy by having a constricted time

and that is my opinion

[chrome lintel]

what

[mossy breach]

"you are living under a roof" all you said with that is that he's not homeless, that's your point saying that

[chrome lintel]

then classical chess is not serious because they cant play 100% of there possible accuracy

only daily chess is allowed now

[stray agate]

his parents wouldn't be paid without rules
what if their parents' employers didn't feel like paying

[chrome lintel]

what

[stray agate]

rules are meant for maintaining order

[mossy breach]

they'd get sued

[chrome lintel]

did I ever curse at you ?

call you bad words?

what are you saying

[stray agate]

ahah!
you are breaking the rules if you don't pay

[stray agate]

you called me a disgraceful chess player

[stray agate]

you can't sue someone without them violating the law or rules

[chrome lintel]

because you called chess players who play increment disgraceful

[stray agate]

i said it's not serious chess
and that increment is a disgrace

not the players who play it

[mossy breach]

im sorry but youre bringing up slavery into a talk about increment and blitz?

[stray agate]

the players who play with increment affirm with the idea that they cannot think for long enough

[chrome lintel]

how can you do something that is disgraceful and not be disgraceful what

[stray agate]

where is the slavery

👀

[mossy breach]

unpaid work?

[stray agate]

i made up an analogy of rules

and why they need to exist

[mossy breach]

you brought up slavery into a talk in a chess server

[chrome lintel]

your analogy made no sense

[stray agate]

you disrespected the rules by attacking me

[mossy breach]

you compared the fact that we insulted you with slavery bro

[chrome lintel]

my guy just compared slavery to me saying his opinion was garbage

[stray agate]

slavery is a big word

[chrome lintel]

This

[stray agate]

i said if his parents wouldn't get paid for their work, that'd be illegal
i'd be illegal because it violates a rule(s)

[chrome lintel]

yes that applys to everyone including me that is a rule

[stray agate]

that's your belief

[chrome lintel]

What

so me breaking the rules is just your belief true ok

real

[stray agate]

i believe a person can do something that another person sees as disgraceful, and not be

[chrome lintel]

what???

then what makes it disgraceful

[mossy breach]

@stray agate rule 1 "Do not abuse, harass or attack anyone.", you attacked people for playing blitz

[last quartz]

No increment is better

[stray agate]

i said blitz isn't serious chess

i don't have a grudge against blitz players, i just don't think they could play a classical game

and classical, in the name, is classical chess

[prime lintel]

increment is good, I like 2|1 and 3|2

[raw geyser]

Bro no increment is stupid, you can't flag

[raw geyser]

Bro I could wreck you in classical and blitz

Become a master then talk

@stray agate I just realized you're 300 blitz..

[stray agate]

yes

🙂

old acc but alr

[bold scaffold]

increment>>> for anyone who knows how important it is to keep time for the endgame

[stray agate]

play against me

[waxen shoal]

90+30

[hollow cloak]

Increment Good

End Of Discussion

Bye

👋🏾

[sharp marlin]

no increment

end of discussion

bye

👋

[zenith notch]

Increment in a small amount, that way clock management is crucial but time scrambles don’t become hurtful for people in obviously winning positions

[amber talon]

basically it's this

no increment, you can't flag your opponents, but then again, they can't flag you either

people do like flagging~

[prime lintel]

Can we all agree that increment is good for classical

imagine playing 90+0

[amber talon]

Yeah i kinda dont like that chess.com doesn't have an increment for 30|0.

Often times good games last longer then 30 minutes on both sides. So.. yeah.

[upbeat ice]

theres "set custom time" you know...

[stark tinsel]

obviously no increment

[young turret]

It really depends on the time control. Bullet and rapid I prefer without increment. Blitz however, especially 3+2, is a lot of fun. I voted for no increment

[bold scaffold]

yes! (sad that we can't react here)

[proven light]

increment but not to much like max 5 sec

[small berry]

2 sec incremnts for irl, For online, No incremnts.

because you can pre move lol

[median igloo]

I play with no increment (10+0 or 5+0), but I don't see why playing with increment is a bad idea so I might try it sometime.

[gleaming night]

No increment, personally I feel like sometimes I play poor moves quickly just to recoup some time, ultimately I just need to work on better time management though. Regardless, I don't care for playing with increment.

[muted plinth]

I play to get better and more time = more time to learn

so I prefer increment

[acoustic lantern]

Increment artifically lengthens the game for me if you want a 10 minute game just play 5|0 instead of 3|2

[storm flame]

hikaru,levy,magnus carlsen… don’t take chess seriously i get it

[stray agate]

they don't only play it

💀

[muted plinth]

You guys are afraid of losing so you play without increment just so you can flag

You guys are afraid of getting flagged so you play with increment

[stray agate]

ironically enough flagging is a big part of chess

it is one of the 3 ways of winning

[prime lintel]

I don't want to get flagged in classical

[muted plinth]

so is increment

[stray agate]

there was no increment

wusses came up with it since they kept losing on time

[stray agate]

A person makes a move bellow 5 seconds and the increment is 5 seconds, he will NEVER run out of time

The fundamental idea of TIME in chess is to remind you that you don't have the WORLD'S TIME ON YOUR HANDS

[muted plinth]

but he will make worse moves

[stray agate]

bluds' never heard of bullet

😂

[muted plinth]

bluds' thiinks 1+1 equals infinite time

[stray agate]

not everyone plays 1+1

some play 1+2, or 1+5

[muted plinth]

what does that have to do with my statement?

[stray agate]

every player who plays with increment like their lives are on the line are under 1800 elo

[muted plinth]

what does that have to do with my statement?

[stray agate]

what does that have to do with my statement?

[muted plinth]

the less time you have on the clock, the less time you have to think, the more likely you are to make worse moves

[stray agate]

what does that have to do with my statement?

then play classical

geek

you're overanalysing

[muted plinth]

that even if there is time increment, and you have little time, you may make worse moves

so time increment is also part of chess

[stray agate]

bro then just play classical

💀

[muted plinth]

bro says 3+2 equals classical

[stray agate]

it can last longer than a rapid game

[muted plinth]

you still make better moves in 30+30 than in 3+2 rofl

[stray agate]

so why play bullet or blitz if you want to play with time

just play rapid or classical

[muted plinth]

because I still play fast with 3+2

[stray agate]

you can play fast in bullet and have more time

rapid is the world standard

[muted plinth]

what's your point

[stray agate]

that if you want to play blitz with increment, it will last just as long as a rapid game

[muted plinth]

depends on how many moves you make but it is possible

[stray agate]

i can't convince a stubborn minded person

[muted plinth]

you are very stubborn in your own way too

if you wanna win because you play good, use increment
if you wanna win on time because you play bad, don't use increment

[muted plinth]

I just proved you wrong with simple math:

Rapid: 10 min
Average moves per game: 40
seconds per move: 10min = 600sec. 600 / 40 = 15
Therefore if your game ends in 40 moves you have 15 seconds per move

Blitz: 3+2
increment time = 2 * 40 = 80 seconds
average time a game lasts: 3 * 60 = 180 seconds. 180+80 = 260seconds
average seconds per move: 260/40 = 6.5
Therefore if your game ends in 40 moves you have 6.5 seconds per move

So in 3+2 you can't think as long per move as you can in 10+0

[zinc wasp]

I fall asleep in increment games

[buoyant pine]

I Feel presured In No Increment

[zinc wasp]

increment players are players who are incapable of playing fast and trying to cope

[muted plinth]

not true

[carmine light]

no increment

[prime lintel]

uh we can play fast

2+1

[muted plinth]

3+2 is about the same as 4.3333+0

[muted plinth]

1+1 is in fact bullet and increment

[zinc wasp]

people still trying to cope?

[prime lintel]

how about 1-10

[vale light]

increment because,

1. what if you need to notate

it gives better time to do that rather than ur own

[zinc wasp]

you don't need to notate when playing online

[raw geyser]

I've never played in an otb tournament that didn't have increment

[vast carbon]

Increment

[upbeat ice]

3+2 is about the same as 20+0

[bold scaffold]

bruh

[muted plinth]

How, did you read my math? It depends on how many moves you make and I assumed 40 cuz that's average I think

You have about 30 seconds per move if you get 20+0 assuming one game takes 40 full moves

20*60 / 40 = 30

Nobody has time to spend 30 seconds on every move in a 3+2 game

Even if you play fast to build up time with 3+2 you will never build up enough to be able to spend 30 seconds for the next 40 moves before reaching endgame

[upbeat ice]

40 ain’t average

[muted plinth]

Ok give me a number that's average and I'll input that to the formula
