thanks

thought one

[normal pulsar]

np

[warm thicket]

Alright this seems pretty difficult so I’ll just spell out my whole thought process in case I accidentally get something right. The main problem seems to be e6 is a getaway square.

[pure knot]

and you're already better than all of those in here who tried to solve it

[rigid ridge]

Hey guys who wants a chess buddy?

[midnight schooner]

[lethal hearth]

Dm guys hehe

[woven pebble]

I HATE YOU SO MUCH

[lime shuttle]

Nice, its mate

Anyone wanna play chess

[normal pulsar]

What elo?

[lime shuttle]

1550 blitz

[normal pulsar]

Damm I am too low in blitz although I am about 1160 in rapid

[lime shuttle]

Oh ok

[night adder]

yo im around the same rating

wanna play

[normal pulsar]

Yea sure

Dm me

[clear spade]

I kept looking for a forced mate with immediate checks, but since you say that, I think we just have to create a mating net. So think queen f7 makes sense by disallowing the king to go to e6, it creates the net, and followed by bishop f4 check and king can't go back to e6, hence we probably we have a forced mate coming

[clear spade]

does that make sense? @pure knot

[lime shuttle]

Anyone else wanna play?

[weak condor]

What do you guys think of Shogi?

[clear spade]

Never played it, but want to in the future.

Apparently it's a lot more complex than chess.

[weak condor]

Played it once, had no idea what I was doing, I am also thinking of trying it again.

[drifting viper]

I'm stuck on 800 elo help what do I do

I play games and analyze them I solve puzzles but I keep dropping down to 790 and then back up to 800 to 810

[short otter]

Yo geniuses

[short otter]

Im stuck at elo beginner idk

[short otter]

Proud of u but tbh idk hehe

[drifting viper]

Ah npp!

[drifting viper]

Thank youu!! I'm sure me and you will become amazing some day

Just stay consistent and practice efficiently!

[short otter]

🤍

[short otter]

Youre already amazing! I just have to kinda level up my brain😭

[short otter]

Yess!!

[pliant storm]

Play longer gàmrs and talk out loud to yourself

Press flip board to see what your opponent will do

Tbh I am in the same boat, but at 1000 elo

[normal pulsar]

u have to focus on making less mistakes and also do some puzzles to improve fast.

[acoustic crystal]

Can we play a match (5 min game)

[balmy sentinel]

bro im also stuck on 800 but i used to be 1200 except i lost my acc so idk what i should do to improve bc i play the exact same way]

[river charm]

I love atomic chess

[muted mango]

Atomic…?

[balmy sentinel]

isnt that a chess variant on chesscom idk tho i havent played chess in a long time

[frosty arrow]

QUEEN'S GAMBIT Y'ALL

BEST SHOW EVAH

[normal pulsar]

wish I could, but busy this month

[normal pulsar]

1200 to 800 drop is pretty huge, im assuming u gave a long break to chess. Try improving ur tactics with puzzles, and also avoiding simple mistakes should pretty much be enough to get u to 1000 atleast.

[balmy sentinel]

what time should i play? i was thinking 15 min but 20-30 min have been recommended to me

[normal pulsar]

halo im bored but like chess

pls play wit me 🙂

[normal pulsar]

30 min games at 800? I suggest u play 10+0

[balmy sentinel]

thx - what about avoiding mistakes any tips on how to spot?

[normal pulsar]

after ur opponent makes a move, look for threats, captures, etc. this helps avoid simple mistakes like hanging a piece or missing a simple fork, etc. Also avoid playing one move attacking threats that dont do anything.

[balmy sentinel]

thx so much!

[lost stratus]

In addition to this, look for checks!

Without hanging your pieces of course

[balmy sentinel]

well yeah

[lost stratus]

Before I stopped playing chess, I was 1700

[balmy sentinel]

nice

[warm thicket]

lol thanks but I don’t think I’m good enough to solve this

[warm thicket]

I thought of that but I don’t think it actually works

[old pawn]

Black is not actually that bad here. Although they have an extremely exposed king, they are up two pieces and no check is useful. White should keep up the pressure by developing the knight to c3, and maybe prepare long castling due to the exposed king

[queen spruce]

Yo

[jade meteor]

yo

[queen spruce]

I’m kinda new to chess

I wanna learn an opening

[scarlet ferry]

Hello

https://youtu.be/TemLSMDKSMw?si=WndsfMP_lX_AExhM

[dapper crypt]

E4 e5 nf3 nc6 bc4

[dapper crypt]

And then u just play

[scarlet ferry]

lol not a bad opening

[dapper crypt]

It is the most historic opening

[scarlet ferry]

yep

[clear spade]

why?

[drifting viper]

Ahhh thank you!! 😭 I'm so sorry I just saw this now I fell asleep lol

[drifting viper]

Ah I basically do all those I'll just solve more puzzles and wish for the best then 🙏 good luck to you I believe you will reach whatever goal you are looking to reach ^_^

[drifting viper]

Perfect I'll just do that!

[lost stratus]

Puzzles are amazing, but try focusing on the theories of an opening

Do you use chess.com to play your games?

[drifting viper]

Yep I do

[lost stratus]

Perfect, the analyzing tool is your best friend

Sadly its a premium feature to use it continuously

[drifting viper]

Yep exactly what I was about to say

[lost stratus]

I wish some days, like valentines day, they offer it to everyone for free

🤷‍♂️

[drifting viper]

All the other free analysis tools are janky and just aren't as good as chess.com's

[lost stratus]

Yeah, its not accurate enough

[drifting viper]

So true! But I mean it's a corporation they'll do anything to make as much profit possible

[lost stratus]

Does stockfish cost money to download, I havent actually tried downlaoding the stockfish app

[sleek nacelle]

You can try using lichess

[drifting viper]

To be honest I'm not sure

[lost stratus]

Okay, stockfish is free

[drifting viper]

It's free?

[lost stratus]

I thought lichess used the stockfish 13

which was outdated

[sleek nacelle]

Nope it doesn't cost money

[lost stratus]

Yeah I just checked it out, thanks anyway

[lost stratus]

Its free, but I dont know what engine they've updated to

[sleek nacelle]

No it has many versions

It uses 16 as of now ig

[lost stratus]

Oh that's nice

[drifting viper]

Oh that sounds good

[lost stratus]

Anything above 16 is just considered good

🤣

[sleek nacelle]

U can just select any stockfish version and play against it

[lost stratus]

There are some websites that do not give the analysis, and simply just player vs stockfish

[sleek nacelle]

Yes but lichess got many free study material and stuff so just try using it to learn

[lost stratus]

That's true

[short otter]

Ahaha no worries! Dw abt it

[scarlet ferry]

Everyone makes a mistakes. As long as you learn from it.

[compact axle]

Hey guys! For my math IA I would like to know more about chess and if it is linked to a change in IQ levels. What strategies/openings do you use most often and how effective is it? What are your strategies throughout the game? Which side does it work best in? Have you noticed a change in your IQ levels from before knowing how it play chess vs now? If you’re able to answer some or all these questions please reply to this🙏

[scarlet ferry]

Chess involves strategy and thinking, which may relate to some cognitive skills, but it's not proven to directly change IQ. I like openings that control the center, and I plan attacks carefully while playing solid defense. Chess has helped me think more analytically, but I haven't seen a change in my IQ score.

[compact axle]

Thank you! Which side do you feel has a bigger advantage?

[scarlet ferry]

Eh white

[compact axle]

Alright thank you for your information!

[dusty cliff]

While playing chess I play strategies lesser seen because the opponent many times doesn't know how to respond. Chess has brought no change at all in my IQ level. It's just that I keep on memorizing new patterns to get better.

[scarlet ferry]

At school this one dude makes noises while he plays and i fail everytime bc of it

[compact axle]

Do you have a side that you favor?

[dusty cliff]

Some openings such as Vienna work when you are white. Some openings work better when you are black. Personally, I like the black side better.

[scarlet ferry]

I agree with the first part

[compact axle]

Thank you very much

[night adder]

hi anyone 1200-1300 wanna play?

Also you can't just call me a clown bc I took a crack at it lol

I'm only 1350 blitz

[normal pulsar]

Nc3 is not losing

its still winning for white

just that it misses an even better move Qf7

[night adder]

GUYS

im so close to beating a 1699

i trapped his queen with a bishop sac

but im low on time

[pure knot]

oh nah us vietnamese like to use clown emoji

[pure knot]

srry

[night adder]

[pure knot]

Qf7

[pure knot]

yh

[midnight schooner]

Let's say your playing chess, but the game starts off looking like this, what move are you making?

[night adder]

unless im playing against drunk magnus

this isnt happening

but i would go for exd5+

[old pawn]

Exf5

[night adder]

no d5 is better right

bc uve got yr knight move

[old pawn]

You fork the king and the knight

[night adder]

then you can argue Nxc6+ also

[old pawn]

Gxf5 would be good too

[night adder]

no man

i think exd5+ is better bc if the king goes back to e6, u fork king, queen, rook

if he doesnt u take bishop

[old pawn]

Nxc5 is common sense wym

Exd5 loses a pawn

[night adder]

how

oh yeah mb

[old pawn]

Wait I'm stupid

[night adder]

im mental

no im stupid

dang

[normal pulsar]

Qf7

[ivory spade]

with knight

[clear spade]

cxd5

[low abyss]

just started chess any tips i should know?

i alr know how the pieces move

but don't know stuff like what a fork means

[grim wing]

fork is when you got a lower value piece attack two higher value pieces at the same time

i can try to help you a bit in dms if you want 🙂

[old pawn]

It could be a queen fork

forking a bishop and a knight for instance

[balmy sentinel]

en passant is basicalluy just a fun fact ig

[lethal hearth]

Bombacalat

[eager topaz]

it really is

I’ve done it to a few people and they’re mind blown that it’s legal

Understanding the game itself is more important

[nocturne stone]

The last one was the most fun tbh

[nocturne stone]

I definitely played too fast and kind of all over the place, but it was fun to challenge myself again

Pre 1200 you don’t need much apart from principles

[paper wagon]

I've played 33 games in the entire span of my account

I can't decide on an opening

I just kinda play whatever

That's my problem

[nocturne stone]

Try the London

Or you can try e4 and play risky

I like Italian game positions

[paper wagon]

I play caro kann with black because Gotham said so

[nocturne stone]

Carro is great, I like the Sicilian cause it’s fancy

[paper wagon]

Thanks for the tips! I'll practice with the London and look at some guides on YouTube

bro

you're just sparing me

like so many times

[midnight schooner]

This was my most satisfying game ever

And my closest

[night adder]

hey guys

[fresh pumice]

idk how todo chess

[nocturne stone]

Anyone up for a game?

[night adder]

im down

[pure knot]

istg chess.com is so stupid sometimes

how tf is this brilliant

[night adder]

im not sure

but lemme try

if the pawn takes the queen, you take the rook and promote to queen with check

otherwise:

WAIT

A

MINUTE

YOU HAVE ANOTHER BRILLIANT MOVE IF HE PLAYS RD8

BD6

THE PAWN IS FORCED TO TAKE THE BISHOP BECUASE ITS CHECK AND KING CANT MOVE

THEN C7

AND IF THE ROOK GOES TO LIKE A8 OR B8

YOU CAN JUST PLAY THE SAME THING OR BXC7

WOW

can someone else please check if i was correct?

[pure knot]

ik ik I'm js saying it's not even that hard to find

not that brilliant

[night adder]

no the other line

if the other line i gave is correct

then thats why the computer gave you a brilli

[pure knot]

Bd6+ is inaccurate

[night adder]

how tho

[pure knot]

Bd6+ cxd6 c7! Qa3+

suddenly you allowed black counterplay opportunities

white is still winning but

[night adder]

white's got two queens man

[pure knot]

nah mate

not 2 queens yet

ik it's winning and allat but still

[night adder]

like
...Rd8
Bd6+ cxd6 (forced)
c7 Qa3+
Kg2 Qxa2+
Kg1 Qa1+
Qf1 ...

its winning

[night adder]

yeah so after this Kg1

if queen gievs a check we can block with our queen

it will end in a rook vs queen or rook+queen vs 2 queens

[pure knot]

yeah ik it's winning omgg

wait

but what are you gonna do after Qa5

[night adder]

hmm

[pure knot]

c7! Qa3+ Kg2 Qa5

[night adder]

yeah thats a good point

[pure knot]

that's why Bd6 is inaccurate

[night adder]

wait then

[pure knot]

like you had to find Qc3!!/Qc2/Qc1?!

[night adder]

instead of Kg1

you can move towards the left side of the board towards the queen

likie Kc3

Queen check

[pure knot]

bruv

I said Qa5

[night adder]

let me load the position on chess.com analysis board

[night adder]

ill show you the moves

[pure knot]

no need here

[night adder]

wait a minute

earlier you were saying Qa5

i was misinterpreting it as Qd4

cuz that is def draw-ish

lemme think abt Qa5

[pure knot]

how
the
fuck
can
the
queen
travel
to
d4

[night adder]

from a1

read my lione

line

[night adder]

.

[pure knot]

btw I was js saying that Bd6 wasn't the best move why are we doing this now?

[night adder]

here cant u go c8=Q ?

bc im trying to prove its the best move

did u chk the engine

?

[pure knot]

IT'S NOT

[pure knot]

YES I DID

[night adder]

BUT I CANT SEE ANYTHING

[pure knot]

Qc5+ was best

and then js Bxc7

[pure knot]

blunder

c8=Q bxc4

[night adder]

ok

got it

[pure knot]

you had to find either Qc3, Qc2 or Qc1

[night adder]

ok

I am new to chess it has been 3 months since I started playing

Yo fam come on I wanna learn more

[grim wing]

[ornate thistle]

Yo I’m new to I’ve been playing for like 2 months

[snow rapids]

Have you been seeing chess in your dreams?

[ornate thistle]

Um yess actually 😭

Or atleast before I go to bed and I close my eyes I’m like imagining a chess game

[snow rapids]

You're on the right path🗣️🔥

[ornate thistle]

😭

[snow rapids]

Are you playing online often?

[topaz eagle]

Always wanted to go to japan

[warm thicket]

If knight takes, you take on e7 with a triple fork. You also can’t go either bd7 or kf7 anymore. On top of all that, you are threatening to take on c6, ruining their pawn structure bc if knight takes the bishop is hanging

[pure knot]

oh wait I said 200?

💀 mb I meant 2000

[honest portal]

Yeah he was trolling

Ofc

[warm thicket]

Ofc common mistake

[pure knot]

dude I forgot I'm sleepy af rn

[honest portal]

Isn't there someone like 1000...

[pure knot]

you mean 10000?

[honest portal]

Bruh ur fooling no one

[warm thicket]

@pure knot was I right about the move?

[pure knot]

yeah

[honest portal]

Thats not even possible

[pure knot]

ik I'm just trolling

[warm thicket]

Alright I got worried cuz u rarely compliment me so I was worried you were being sarcastic when you said brilliant lol

[pure knot]

@warm thicket anti-puzzle time!!!11
find the worst move for black

[pure knot]

come on I'm not sarcastic that often dumbo american

[warm thicket]

Ke7

[pure knot]

too easy 🙄

[warm thicket]

Mrmhrm

[warm thicket]

Yes

[pure knot]

so bcuz it was too easy, here's your task:
un. explain why Rc5+ was a mistake
deux. find black's plan
trois. instead of Rc5+ what could white have played instead? (extra credit) (multiple answers)

[warm thicket]

Alright

[pure knot]

btw I swindled the hell outta my opp in this game

[warm thicket]

I want to be proud of you but it’s kinda weird cuz your better than me lol

[pure knot]

do you even understand what swindle is?

[warm thicket]

…

[pure knot]

that's what I thought goofy green day hater

[warm thicket]

… I do know what it means I was just offended you asked that

[pure knot]

ight

came back from this position btw 💀 (and I fucking drew)

[warm thicket]

Also you do realize that although I do know what swindle means, I could look it up in 5 seconds if I didn’t…

[pure knot]

so what does it mean...
IN CHESS

[warm thicket]

Had to add that last part lmao

[warm thicket]

I’m assuming you were using it to convey how your opponent was oblivious to your plans and you tricked him at multiple times throughout the game

[pure knot]

partial credit, now get to the real work

[warm thicket]

@pure knot for number 1 (and kinda also 2 I guess) is it because black can play ke4 and white can’t stop the king from taking on c3 and promoting?

[pure knot]

full credit, want the extra?

[warm thicket]

And for 3 would it be either rd6 or kf1?

@pure knot ^

[pure knot]

zero for using stockfish

[warm thicket]

I SWEAR I DIDNT

actually

I’m being honest

[pure knot]

fine

also from the same game, black to play and win. (I defo didn't find this move)

@warm thicket

wake up lil american

[warm thicket]

Ok I’m back sorry

Hm

This one is harder

Especially cuz I’m not using stockfish this time

Jkjk

[pure knot]

suspended indefinitely.

[warm thicket]

IT WAS A JOKE!

[pure knot]

btw 2 moves are winning
but same idea

[pure knot]

🤡

[warm thicket]

Is it

Rb7

Or rg4

[pure knot]

Rg4 😭

zero

zero zero

[warm thicket]

Rb4

It’s flipped mb

[pure knot]

draw

and draw

[warm thicket]

@pure knot I meant rg7 also

[warm thicket]

Ok

[pure knot]

draw

[warm thicket]

I had no idea for the plan I was just guessing that cuz you said two moves same idea and those were the two moves to protect the pawn

[pure knot]

protecting the pawn doesn't help

that's the hint

[warm thicket]

… I know that now

[pure knot]

here's another hint to the definitely-not-cheating player:
what do masters always tell you to do in an endgame that you normally wouldn't do in the opening or middlegame?

damn being able to use stockfish is so fun

bro is dead

L punk rock hater

[warm thicket]

Call me a Green Day hater cuz I am but I am not a punk rock hater

[warm thicket]

King out

Ke7?

[pure knot]

Ke7 😭

[warm thicket]

Kg7

Kf7

Kg8

[pure knot]

how the fuck did the king teleport

[warm thicket]

Ke8

Oh wait

[pure knot]

how did the king teleport from one side of the board to the other

[warm thicket]

Ke2 that’s what I meant

[pure knot]

It's Chess 2.0 release day! And we'd like to brief our players with some rule changes.
First thing first, requested by @warm thicket and million others, the ability for the king to move like the knight. This is a great buff, making getting checkmated 69% harder while also adding swindling opportunities. However, due to this, stalemate is no longer a rule as kings are now fairly OP.

[warm thicket]

Stfu

[pure knot]

Sir, comments are after the announcement.

[warm thicket]

🦆

[pure knot]

back to chess (1.0), what is the move then?

[warm thicket]

Ke2

[pure knot]

Sir, this is chess 1.0

[warm thicket]

D2

What I meant

[pure knot]

sadly, in chess 2.0, pawns don't have the ability to gallop over another pawn and move up a square 😔

[warm thicket]

KD2

[pure knot]

your KD is 2? that's pretty low for a Valorant no-rank player.

[old pawn]

Lmaooo

[bronze charm]

Anybody want to play

[toxic harness]

Man I wish kings could be buffed

[noble shoal]

[pure knot]

@warm thicket
一。Find the key move for black (and explain what that does)
二。After that key move, white has a very scary sequence that makes our king stuck in the washing machine, what is that sequence?
三。After that sticky scene, what is black's plan to win this endgame?

四。(cộng điểm cho thằng nhóc đao) instead of e7, white had a better try to equalize, what is it?
more credit if you find 2 of black's ideas to counter that move.

one of them is definitely stockfish level so I only expect you to find one.

[clear spade]

No love for Garry anyone?

[clear spade]

Not @warm thicket but I feel like Bxe7 works for black, then fxe7 and if he tries to guard the pawn with the knight with Nf4, I think I just start pushing the h pawn, then knight is forced to take the pawn and I can take white's e pawn with my king. But I'm not able to figure what what move white has to make to keep my king uhh, 'stuck in the washing machine'.

[pure knot]

full credit for question 1, sadly not enough to pass the test.

[clear spade]

pity

[night adder]

is the answer to question 2 f7? im probably wrong. im literally a "very bad chess player"

[clear spade]

I doubt it, the king can easily take the f pawn

[night adder]

no i meant

e7 Bxe7
f7 (any move)
f8

if bishop goes to f8 after f7, then knight forks with Ne6+

idk

[clear spade]

yeah but black will still be winning the endgame

bishop vs knight endgame and two passed pawns

very winnable i think

[night adder]

im talking from white's perspective btw

for question 2

[clear spade]

Yeah I got it

black should still win, for the reasons i mentioned

i think so at least

[night adder]

yeah

like black has to sac the bishop

for the pawn

[clear spade]

Btw off topic but I just played my first brilliant move in a chess 960 game

[night adder]

then black is winning

[night adder]

lol

[clear spade]

game was horrendous, full of blunders, but yeah

[night adder]

lol

[clear spade]

I honestly enjoy it, it's like you're creating a new opening every single game, lot of fun

weirdest 960 setups are where you can literally blunder a piece on the first move

not even kidding

@pure knot insane idea, but can white just not take the bishop sacrifice and play knight f5?

then whatever black plays and you white plays e7

but then i think you can sack the bishop and take on e7 AGAIN, then Kd7, then if white wants to keep the knight guarding the pawn they play a king move to wait it out, then I suppose black just starts pushing the a pawn

and if Kf4, I think black just skewers king and knight with Rf2+, then sack the rook for white's knight, take the e pawn with the king, push the a pawn and win

[grim wing]

someone wants to play chess?

[pure knot]

congratulations, you just went home with a perfeeectttttt zero!!

[night adder]

yoo lets goo

i should be a fortune teller

[pure knot]

white can definitely play Nf5 bcuz white can play whatever move they wanna play

for all I know white could play Kg3 for no reason

[night adder]

man ur good at this

whats ur rating

[pure knot]

200

[night adder]

no shot

200 with another 0 maybe?

[pure knot]

a zero has no value :)

so 200 = 2000 = 20 = 2

[night adder]

no thats not how it works bro

[pure knot]

yes it is :<

[night adder]

.200=.2000=.20=.2
