[midnight minnow]

does anyone know how I can start getting into chess, I'm serious about learning and willing to do anything I can to learn

[hallow cargo]

U can wach a YouTube video abt how to play then play chess on coolmathgames or smt

[midnight minnow]

okay thanks

[lavish marsh]

I didn’t quit chess, I quit cheating

[fair nova]

chess.com

[pliant storm]

Watch a basic video, learn how pieces move, then learn the rules, then learn how to checkmate and defend, then play a chess.com bot like martin. Use the game review to get pointers. Do this for a week, then start playing against other people. Play longer games, dont play blitz/bullet. learn to deffend against scholar mate. After a bit, learn basics tactics like forks and pins. Im going to turn this into a thread, this is a really common question, so anyone who wants to help, drop some advice/material down bellow

wait, how do u create a thread?

[lost stratus]

PC or mobile

[pliant storm]

mac

ig its same as PC

[lost stratus]

I forgot how it looks like on PC

If anybody wants to join the club to play tournaments and for fun

[acoustic badger]

Join this

[lavish marsh]

I was a cheater man

[versed vault]

def cheats now

Once a cheater always a cheater

[lavish marsh]

But only some people will admit to change

[versed vault]

you can admit but it doesn’t mean it true

[lavish marsh]

You are right. Millions of people will say millions of things which are indirectly related. But I don’t care about other people’s opinions. I tried to fit in by cheating. But it didn’t work and I’m in this state. As said earlier, only some people admit and change

[fossil maple]

💀

[lavish marsh]

Plans on banning my new acc eh ?

[deft pelican]

is there any sense in trying to get better at chess?

im like 1900 elo chesscom and around 1700 otb

[pure knot]

nah dumbo

[pure knot]

do you plan to make a living off of chess?
if yes then no, if no then yes 🗿

[deft pelican]

no thats just stupid

making a living out of chess would just be if u stream chess or teach

teaching in my area would be about 10-12$ per 2h as 2400 otb im only 1700otb which cant really provide much i would need to learn a couple more years for that

plus there are genetically gifted people that can easily outplay you

[pure knot]

chillax bruv I'm just answering your question

no need to write an essay

[deft pelican]

at a higher level its pure memorization and position play

[deft pelican]

ive answered thru and essay

[topaz eagle]

u cant generalize from a substrata of a population 😭

i see ur point tho

[deft pelican]

no i mean at a high point in chess like being top global there are genetically gifted people

like Gukesh

magnus

and other non actual ones

[pure knot]

you already answered your question bruv

[charred cosmos]

No

It's all abt sponsors

And prizes

Why do u think magnus went to cc

Cus sponsor

And titled Tuesday

So money

[deft pelican]

also tournaments but they are extremely expensive because of traveling costs you make less than u win there locally per tournament i can win about 250$ but thats only if i beam IMs andd GMs outside of country its just too expensive

[pure knot]

bite me

[deft pelican]

what

[deft pelican]

who would want to sponsor me im like an ant on an apple tree

i dont much of how sponsors work like how do they make their money back just by having the title of a "sponsor" of a good player

[charred cosmos]

Some Lebanese guy

His everything is js play chess

Stream

And push elo

[deft pelican]

mh

[charred cosmos]

And want red bull to sponsor him

And he is actually doing pretty well last time I checked

[deft pelican]

thats 1 in how many?

geniunely

its too much competiton

you need to be unique

in a game about memorization and positional play

[charred cosmos]

In Gotham chess server

Im. Banned there btw

[deft pelican]

same

[charred cosmos]

Im know as the guy who plays the danish

But I don't play the danish

[topaz eagle]

why r u guys banned from the server

[charred cosmos]

I double down on the disadvantage

[deft pelican]

crybaby mods

[charred cosmos]

Triple gambit that girl

[topaz eagle]

lemme try joining lmao

[deft pelican]

and crybaby gotham like u get banned bc u ping him just make @gotham a banned word

like bro

0 cognitive function

[charred cosmos]

I have multiple cc accounts cus im too lazy to do all the forgot password stuff

[topaz eagle]

its dead

For 100k members

[deft pelican]

this server kinda dead too

beside gen

[topaz eagle]

this channel is dead

not the server

[deft pelican]

yeah well that serer is dead bc all the fame he got was during the chess memes

and he has like 5m subs and only 300k views

unless he screams in the camera ROROROROKKKKKROKKK GUYS ROOK

and maybe gets some traction

[pure knot]

nah 300k views per vid for a 5m sub channel is considered js sub-par, not dead.

[deft pelican]

yeah but the hype is gone

[pure knot]

• ~1/3 of his shorts get ~1m views too

[pure knot]

yh cuz no more pandemic

[deft pelican]

There was a channel Chesscape which died it had like 250k not 2k per vid

[pure knot]

tbh it's chess hype that's gone

[deft pelican]

yeah talking abt magnus and trillion zoom in effects the rook just so you stay 40s on there

[pure knot]

tbf most shorts are like that

[deft pelican]

still dying vro

chess not fun

👎👎

played for 7yrs etter footbal or tennis smth physical

[pure knot]

remaining stable isn't dying, it's just not as popular as before

[deft pelican]

remaining stable is degrading

just like in chess

havent played like a month and got abolutely cooked now im back at 1891

from 1900 and smth

[pure knot]

ight mate if you say so

[normal pulsar]

Mods hello

[grizzled moth]

Whats up with this too neutral, group, I have to bring light here

Lets see are there any commands, those are always fun

[grizzled moth]

If you are actually 1800-1900 you will definetly understand that loosing 100 elo seldomly is normal

[midnight minnow]

sorry I'm late but thanks a lot

[grizzled moth]

Or skip to the good part and take 3 extra months learning by pure experience, it reinforces your base a ton but it will take extra time

How far are you willing to go?

[midnight minnow]

as far as I can, its real fun playing chess

though I did lose 100 elo last night 😭

[grizzled moth]

haha right,.. how much time should be better phrased

[grizzled moth]

ive seen worse

[midnight minnow]

my bad, I'd dedicate like a year, unless that long isn't necessary

[grizzled moth]

that long for?

[midnight minnow]

just to be able to win on my own and find a good opening

[grizzled moth]

ahh about 700-800 elo is where you start to use actual logic

so about 7 months +- 2 months

[midnight minnow]

yes

[grizzled moth]

yea, thats about it but you will need about weekly practice to maintain at that level

after reaching there*

[grizzled moth]

Anyway, Dont forget to vote the more attention we get the more chnage Gohar is to notice

[midnight minnow]

okay thanks

[grizzled moth]

Remember evryone VOTE WE MUST REVIVE THE DEAD

[ripe crystal]

I was lowkey bored

[grizzled moth]

Then rember to vote above

[grizzled moth]

Here

Wait guys help me out here😅 dont ban everyone

[normal pulsar]

That looks like Hikaru's plan

[normal pulsar]

That's just a simple 0 elo level mate in 127 bro cmon

[old pawn]

thia game was clean af https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/122996798296?tab=review&move=38

[old pawn]

takes takes qh3 takes check takes takes and mate

[normal pulsar]

I wouldn't know I'm only at -294 elo

[normal pulsar]

Then u should practice mate in 100 and also beat that bot named stockfish to practice

oh yes I heard stockfish is a very easy bot

Yea, stockfish 17 is like -4000 elo

I can beat it in -3 moves

[ivory spade]

quick question how did i win a blitz game while hanging mate in 1 three times, and i won cuz my opponent missed all the chances and i won with 0.3 seconds left ^im also 1600 blitz*

[topaz eagle]

ur both bad

Thats the only explanation

[ivory spade]

but ive beaten a nm in rapid

[topaz eagle]

and i got whooped by sinister carlsen

[ivory spade]

Who

[topaz eagle]

U dont know sinister carlsen?😭

they thought it was magnus carlsen’s alt account

bro was cracked

They closed his account for fair play tho coz no one knew who he was

i think

[ivory spade]

huh TvT

[grizzled moth]

Keep Voting, We need the votes

And pls no ban🙏

[orchid furnace]

what should black do?

[normal pulsar]

if anyone uses lichess feel free to fight me

[late turtle]

black should play bishop f5

[orchid furnace]

i know

its in the book

but what after?

how do you get rid of the pawn?

[late turtle]

move the e pawn up

[orchid furnace]

knight cannot develop

[late turtle]

that's why you move it to like e7

[orchid furnace]

then g6?

Thanks isharelin

You guys can take a look to support me if u want ^^

or comment any vid or content u want to

sorry for the spam if u find annoyed

[grizzled moth]

Guys keep voting only 5h left😇

I will try my best to get it to Gohar

[clear spade]

yes i play this pretty often too, have a decent win rate with it. There's two lines here, the c5 line and the Bf5 line, i personally play the bishop f5 line because i find it a lot easier to play, i would suggest looking into some lichess studies of the caro kann, that helped me a lot

[pure knot]

there are 2 main lines: Bf5 (instantly using the upside of the caro-kann compared to the french by not blocking the light-squared bishop); after this, e6, c5 and Nc6 are played to apply pressure on the d4 and e5 pawn. c5 (less theory) which instantly applies pressure on the d4 pawn, taking often results in the pawn being given back and a decent position for black
Orr a weird line, g6. The idea is (I'm not rlly familiar with this line so I might be wrong) to apply pressure on white's center with the f6 break instead of c5 with the bishop on g7 controlling the a1-h8 diagonal

[clear spade]

c5 is what levi roseman of Arkham Chess recommends if i remember correctly

[pure knot]

yh cuz it's less heavily reliant on theory

[topaz eagle]

id go g6

[clear spade]

ik but i mean at my level no one's playing theory, and honestly i don't feel good blocking in my light squared bishop

[topaz eagle]

its what magnus would have done

im talking abt sinister magnus ofc 🫡

[pure knot]

bruv sinister magnus was like 2 - 3 years ago

[topaz eagle]

idc

[clear spade]

dude have you seen that random ass untitled player on top of the bullet leaderboard

arkadiy khromaev or something

[pure knot]

yes

[clear spade]

who tf is that

[pure knot]

oh uhh

lemme see

[topaz eagle]

bro was a menace

[pure knot]

the guy's an afm

[clear spade]

AFM?

FIDE Online Arena titles?

[pure knot]

yh

and he also plays only hyper and ultra bullet

[clear spade]

dude for AFM 1400 rating is needed

I could be an AFM

[clear spade]

ok fair enough

[pure knot]

andd he's been banned twice

[clear spade]

'fair' enough

[pure knot]

and then unbanned

andd the guy is also known on lichess

[clear spade]

how tf did chess.com let a well known cheater get away thrice

@pure knot rate this shitty game https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/123021779738?tab=review

[clear spade]

my noob ass missed a fork TWICE

[pure knot]

nah he's known as a hyperbullet specialist on lichess and banned then unbanned on chess.com twice

[clear spade]

ahh

[pure knot]

bro played better than me 💀

[clear spade]

endgame and opening was good but middlegame was shite mate

how'd a miss a clear fork twice

but position was so good stockfish says it's still winning

but that idea of saccing the pawn in the opening was nice

[clear spade]

should've seen my last two games lmfaooo

ofc i only share my good games

'somewhat' good games

[pure knot]

@warm thicket @clear spade holy shittt

https://www.chess.com/live/game/123024019932 perfect attack btw

guys I just beat an old man

[topaz eagle]

bullying at its finest😭

[clear spade]

Damn that attack was fr nice

then again, the old man played the 'Alekhine's Defence' of all things

also why tf did he sac the exchange with the rook on move 20?

Rxg6!!+ was a nice ending tho

Btw I sent a friend request @pure knot

[pure knot]

I would've sac'd there too
Sacking the rook seemed like the best move there, the other alternative was g6 and seemingly allowing a fork with a long-term unsafe king

[clear spade]

OK that makes sense

thanks

[pure knot]

this'd look scary as hell

[pure knot]

2x brilliant

[clear spade]

beautiful indeed

[tropic wyvern]

[old pawn]

Damn

[old pawn]

I just got checkmate thats arguably rarer than checkmate by castling

https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/123035685862?tab=review

I actually started tweaking after this lmao

[warm thicket]

Scawy

[old pawn]

istg im NEVER getting a checkmate by underpromotion to a fucking horse again

[twilit terrace]

what is a good way to learn chess well?

[pure knot]

do you want a good way to learn chess or a way to learn chess well?
cuz there's no way to do both

[clear spade]

damn that is a pretty rare mate. however your opponent played the fkn 'DAMIANO DEFENSE', which is very well known to be the worst move to play after e5

[hollow gull]

u shud first know the basics such as all the pieces the points they hold and the position of the pieces on the board, then u shud also know how to write notation and use the clock.
on the learning basis, u shud do puzzles on a daily basis n play games every day, it will really help improve your game. you also need to learn a few openings and the more u advance u can learn more.
u shud also know the basic mates and and traps.
two apps recommended personally are chess.com and lichess

[old pawn]

I know but the mate itself was amazing

[clear spade]

yeah matewas awesome

[deft pelican]

yeah but its annoying usually i just win all the time

[pure knot]

yeah you defo ain't 1800-1900 if you win all the time 💀

[twilit terrace]

learn to play chess. pretty much

[twilit terrace]

ok, thank u!

[deft pelican]

most times but like i either play an amazing game or blunder a pawn and lost momentum

my winrate is 50% not 100 xd

the acc's name is DaEgo4Chess if u want to c

[deft pelican]

repetition

and analyze your mistakes get some openings learn basic endgames like 1 rook 1 pawn vs rook and beside that for the middle game just do puzzles which are also free on lichess for tactics and learn 3-4 openings ig thats enough for 1600

or wtv

[deft pelican]

cuz your oponent is like tactically blind and plays blitzt to move pieces around not to actually play the game

[deft pelican]

wrestling or mma

[deft pelican]

??

[pure knot]

@deft pelican you happy?

[deft pelican]

i can see the chat on cc nice blunder

gg

[pure knot]

yh ofc nice blunder 😂

you talked me into not playing Nb5

[deft pelican]

nope check the chat again :)

also Nb5 was the best move there

[pure knot]

yeah ik

you just said "imagine" and allat

and most of the time I played Nb5 there

[deft pelican]

i didnt say pls pls pls dont play Nb5

dont sugarcoat it

[pure knot]

you said imagine 💀

[deft pelican]

we both blundered

[pure knot]

nah you had a decent position there

[deft pelican]

and....

[pure knot]

reverse pshycology ahh shit

worked somehow

[deft pelican]

no i blundered position you win positionally after Nb5

[pure knot]

Nb5 O-O Nd6 f6

[deft pelican]

yeah and it looks awful no centre for me

center

[pure knot]

"looked"

my center is too weak to protect

[deft pelican]

didnt waste my analysis for such a game

[pure knot]

oh btw don't call others fucking 400s anymore please 💀

[deft pelican]

why

[pure knot]

when you have a title you can trashtalk all you want
stay humble (I learnt this the hard way)

[deft pelican]

wdym hard way a loss is just more knowledge either way i win

[pure knot]

no I'm not talking bout this game

[deft pelican]

and u were trashtalking too even tho you "learned" the hard way

[pure knot]

I'm just saying next time don't just blindly call others 400s and shit

[deft pelican]

nor am i?

[deft pelican]

i can do wtv i want thanks for the suggestion

[pure knot]

you literally just mentioned a loss

[pure knot]

what suggestion

ohh won't thank

okay do all you want

[deft pelican]

i meant a loss like i trashtalk and someone wins against me humbling me

i did not mention you

[pure knot]

ahh

[pure knot]

who tf r u talking bout bruv

[rose grail]

just be careful with that guy, he doesn't have any social behaviour/skills

[pure knot]

thanks for the constructive critism

[rose grail]

[broken escarp]

Will any body like to play chess woth me ?

my id : sokoxWW

[clear spade]

hit him with the good ol' greenie allegations mate

[clear spade]

if you know what i mean @pure knot

[kindred jetty]

hey guys im really bad at chess does anyone have any tips to get or be better

[warm thicket]

@clear spade you never told me if you liked the albums I recommended

[normal pulsar]

.

[alpine horizon]

Play games with more time and do analysis and also stick to one opening for each colour

[foggy apex]

what is the best opening for white..?

[clear spade]

Shit dude did I not? Well I listened to two of them, Jar of Flies and Dirt for Alice in Chains. 1st album my fav was Stay Away and Nutshell, in Dirt I liked Junkhead.

[clear spade]

I don't quite remember your recs for Steely Dan, so mention that again if you can @warm thicket

[clear spade]

honestly considering they came out during the same time as nirvana's nevermind, im surprised they're not as popular since they're from the same genre

[clear spade]

@warm thicket

[warm thicket]

Yeah they were part of the “big 4” with nirvana sound garden and Pearl Jam since they were all from Seattle and got popular together but they weren’t as big as nirvana

[warm thicket]

Oh I had said that since you already knew steely Dan to listen to brotherhood from new order instead. But if you want one I’d say the album aja

[clear spade]

well i did but i only heard on steely dan song which i heard on the simpsons lmaoo

[warm thicket]

Oh which song

[clear spade]

Dirty Work

[warm thicket]

Well that’s not on this album

But it’s good

[clear spade]

ahh

did you end up listening to the three muse albums? @warm thicket

[alpine horizon]

Depends on how you like to play. If u want to play positional then play london system if u want to go towards gambits go for Italian or scotch

[stuck harness]

Whats the best way to master an opening?

[clear spade]

By uh...playing it over and over again.

and knowing the general middlegame plan

[pure knot]

oh hell nah 💀

[stuck harness]

Cant seem to remember lines like i used to apparently

Actually i dont even think i remember lines past move 5 or 6

[clear spade]

like?

for which openings?

[normal pulsar]

I also need to memorise lines although most of the time I'm just figuring it out in game on my own

[stuck harness]

KIA, QG, dragon sicilian, dutch

[clear spade]

What's your rating?

I would say if you struggle to remember your lines go with e4 openings instead of d4/hypermodern stuff like QGD and KIA

[mint tapir]

Is The London System good at beginner stage? I am a beginner at chess and I can't decide which opening are very good at Beginner Stages

[normal pulsar]

If u don't want to learn much theory, don't go for Sicilian, although u can do queens gambit, it doesnt require much theory tbh

[stuck harness]

Theres actually not much theory for my dragon but i just cant remember anything other than the setup

[normal pulsar]

I mean there's many things the opponent can play against Sicilian, so there's lots of theory

The dragon Sicilian is rly good opening though

[stuck harness]

I do know some sveshnikov but the opponent usually doesnt do whatever i learned

[normal pulsar]

But it's recommended usually for higher rated ppl

[stuck harness]

Im like 1450s

[normal pulsar]

Chess.com or lichess

[stuck harness]

Reached 1599 💀

Chess.com

[normal pulsar]

Not bad

But don't focus on theory now

[stuck harness]

Yeah im trying to use openings that are more on setups like dutch and kia

[normal pulsar]

u tried Scandinavian?

[stuck harness]

Is chessable worth it?

[stuck harness]

Dont really like its style

Dont really like its style

[normal pulsar]

Nah I don't think so

[normal pulsar]

It gives open positions

What about caro kann?

[stuck harness]

Usually just ends up bland

[normal pulsar]

Pretty solid opening though

Hmm

Any kings Indian setups?

[stuck harness]

KIA im practicing with it rn

My coach taugh us some trappy line

[normal pulsar]

u mean a trap for opponent?

[stuck harness]

Yeah

Actually 2 trappy lines

Depends on the opponent's setup

[normal pulsar]

Traps don't necessarily work that much

[stuck harness]

But it relies on the opponent playing d5 and c5

[normal pulsar]

Esp at around 1500-1600

[stuck harness]

Its some deep line

Doesnt give away much advantage

[normal pulsar]

c5? Sicilian from black?

[stuck harness]

After Nf3 and g3

Actually they do sometimes play sicilian invitation

[normal pulsar]

Do u just memorise theory or try coming up with ur own plans in new situations?

[stuck harness]

Both

[normal pulsar]

At 1500?

[stuck harness]

In this case i play c4

[stuck harness]

Yeah

[normal pulsar]

Yea that's good too

What I do is

c3

d4

[stuck harness]

Coach taught us to play english with b3 and Bb2

At least against sicilian invi

[normal pulsar]

Yk more opening names than me xd

[stuck harness]

Yeah i used to memorize opening names lel

[normal pulsar]

I didn't memorize much lol

[normal pulsar]

Try c3 d4 approach, it transforms game into like a QGD setup

[stuck harness]

Ill see

Im more familiar with slav though

[normal pulsar]

whats slav 😅 idk the names properly

[stuck harness]

Slav is like qg but with d5 and c6 from black

[normal pulsar]

oh kk

[stuck harness]

I kinda stopped playing qg/d4 c4 cause i would have to learn counters to the indian setups

[normal pulsar]

By Indian ur referring to kings Indian setups where black puts bishop in front of king?

[stuck harness]

Stuff like KID, nimzo-indian, etc

[normal pulsar]

it doesn't feel too hard to counter those smh

[stuck harness]

I dont really like encountering openings that i have no prep for

[normal pulsar]

I mean, u cant memorize everything. U gotta make ur own plains too sometimes

[stuck harness]

Yeah

I just avoid them outright

[old pawn]

Cagnus Marlsen can though

[clear spade]

Carlos Magnussen you mean

[alpine horizon]

If anyone wants to join a chess club dm me

[old pawn]

Don't u love when someone accuses you of cheating?

[alpine horizon]

[clear spade]

[normal pulsar]

[normal pulsar]

[clear spade]

No, that title belongs to my GOAT Garry Chess

Any other Garry Chess fans here?

[rose grail]

who wanna chess

[clear spade]

@pure knot Omfg god dude I had such a nice sicilian game in bullet today, yes it was partly due to my opponent being braindead, but i sacked my knight to open lines, then a pawn too https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/123135861740?tab=analysis

[pure knot]

@warm thicket find the last swindle I attempted here 💀

I'm white, and don't ask how we got here

[warm thicket]

Rxg6

[pure knot]

nah

Rxg6 hxg6/Nxg6 Kg2 (forced)

[warm thicket]

Oh whoops

Rg2? @pure knot

[pure knot]

explain

[warm thicket]

Right now your only legal moves with the king are to g2 and h2 so it takes away g2 obv and reveals the bishop covering h2

[pure knot]

the rook can't move? ic

[warm thicket]

… it’s not like your gonna win anyway you wanted a final try

[pure knot]

yh the try was Rg2

provoking Bf1

you didn't find that smh

[warm thicket]

… I did

You just asked what the move was

[pure knot]

I said explain

[stuck harness]

[ripe crystal]

chess is still MASSIVE

[clear spade]

bro do u just type '____ is massive' in every single club or smth

you also said 'literature is massive' in the literature club

[normal pulsar]

It isn't at a LOW level at all

It isnt gonna FADE anytime soon

[old pawn]

It was a joke

[chilly sierra]

Thank god fr

[stuck harness]

najdorf or sveshnikov?

[old pawn]

Najther

[stuck harness]

bet

ima grind the dragon i guess

[old pawn]

You get the joke I made there lol

[stuck harness]

yeah lmao

[old pawn]

I'm kidding play whatever I just needed to say that

[stuck harness]

ehh idk tbh

im more familiar with the sveshnikov but i also wanna expand my sicilian theory

[fiery roost]

I keep losing to my friend 😦

[pearl silo]

https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/123187520354?tab=analysis&move=0

just beat a 1200 with bongcloud

lets go

[clear spade]

unless u're 1800 minimum, neither. go with the dragon

[somber juniper]

what's you're elo

[alpine horizon]

Is there a high elo difference

[fiery roost]

we play with a real chess board

[alpine horizon]

So he might be playing for a longer time than you maybe

[fiery roost]

nah we started at the same time after i introduced it to him

[clear spade]

bro u just post images of u absolutely demolishing your opponents

[clear spade]

show us some close games man

[stuck harness]

I might play the sveshnikov though im familiar with the main stuff already

[clear spade]

Sveshnikov is extremely high level tho

so is najdorf

but sveshnikov is especially tough to play

[pure knot]

💀

[clear spade]

...

[pure knot]

high level my ass

they js blunder

[clear spade]

I meant to say the 'opening' is high level

And it is objectively one of the toughest openings tho

i dont think ppl should play the sveshnikov under 2000 otb

[stuck harness]

I played it twice otb yesterday, both times opponent blundered

One of the blunders was kinda part of sveshnikov theory if they play Nf3 instead of any other move after e5

Usually i just get a normal position when i play sveshnikov

[pure knot]

@warm thicket in this position, Nxa1? is a huge mistake for black, explain why.

[iron osprey]

I'm a 1400 rapid + 1300 blitz with no actual training, studying and all. Now I want to improve. What would you recommend to me? Openings, puzzles (?), study plans, improvement tips, etc.

[clear spade]

pretty easy imho. if nxa1, then Rxf8, Qxf8, Qxd5+, king has to go to h7, or else if Kh8 then Ng6+ and you fork the queen and king, and Kh7 then white plays Qe4+ and i think it's a draw by repetition

[clear spade]

however, idk the best move for black tho, even tho i think black is better here, have to think of that

[pure knot]

there are 2 moves: one is just crushing but slightly complicated, one converts into a winning endgame grind for black

[clear spade]

this correct tho?

[clear spade]

Qd6 maybe?

[stuck harness]

Depends on what you want to focus on or worse at

who is the best at playing chess here and what is ur elo?

[iron osprey]

Wdym?

I'd say my strength is probably intuition, or tbf, idk.

Haven't studied, so I mostly play on intuition only

[stuck harness]

maybe try practicing more on calculation

[iron osprey]

Via puzzles?

Is there some thought framework I should follow?

• opening suggestions?

I only know 1 opening: Scandi

That's it

[tidal bronze]

Yo I'm just realizing this server has a chess club

THIS IS AWESOME

[stuck harness]

obviously CCA; checks, captures, attacks

usually you can find some tricky/hard puzzles online

[iron osprey]

Okay

[iron osprey]

Lichess?

[stuck harness]

its really up to you tbh

[stuck harness]

lichess is good but theyre common tactics most of the time

[iron osprey]

Oh

[iron osprey]

Yea but I was looking for some suggestions to start with, will add/omit later according to how I end up playing in games

[stuck harness]

i'd reccomend openings that prevents your opponent from playing their own openings normally

like sicilian, dutch, english

or if you'd like you can play stuff like benoni, grunfeld

[rough ether]

The ICBM OPENING(WARNING:EVIL OPENING)

[ivory spade]

Uh

[pure knot]

💀 bro's acting like there's an answer to that

[ivory spade]

Preach

[pure knot]

so I have 2 ways to respond to this 🙄
either "fym" or "who is that"
gimme an answer to one of those questions pls

[pallid widget]

Yo

[iron osprey]

Got this nice looking mark on my move 🙂

[pure knot]

dayum nice find

[iron osprey]

From the 17th move till the last move (41st), every move except 1 was a check 😂

Bro got frustrated and said calm down in chat 😂

[pure knot]

slide the game?

[iron osprey]

https://www.chess.com/live/game/123211630936

Tbh, it was a mess

Overall accuracy of 60 something, which is way below the mark

But it was a fun one!

[pure knot]

bro playing axb4 and not trapping the queen is diabolical

[pure knot]

yeah pretty fun lmao
I saw a rollercoaster in evaluation btw

[iron osprey]

Yea lol

[iron osprey]

Where? Didn't get it

[pure knot]

axb4!! Qxa1 Nc3/Na3

when you played axb4 I thought you saw that

[iron osprey]

Ah that

Tbh, it was kinda tunnel vision for the center of the board.

[iron osprey]

In normal conditions I'd have seen it

But in these half asleep sessions, I can play like a 500 sometimes (it's 00:10 here)

[trail jungle]

70th brilliant move

[verbal mantle]

this shouldent happen

[trail jungle]

wtf

[verbal mantle]

chess.com thinks im rated like 1000+

and im acc like

500-600

and like

800 smth rapid

[trail jungle]

Thats avg rating not ur actual rating

[verbal mantle]

ye

[trail jungle]

It’s how u played in that particular game

[old pawn]

Nasty queen trap

[trail jungle]

Maybe u dont play that good in other games

[normal pulsar]

That depends on how u and ur opponent played

[trail jungle]

Try reaching 1000 atleast

[verbal mantle]

it was like the 9999 bot

i dont remember

[normal pulsar]

Computer gives stockfish ~3000 rating when stockfish is way more than that

[verbal mantle]

2999*

[normal pulsar]

Its weaker than stockfish so not 9999

[verbal mantle]

2999

i remembered wrong

[viscid delta]

Idk how to play chess is it fun and should I learn it

[warm thicket]

Yeah

[normal pulsar]

Yea

[pure knot]

go study

[pliant storm]

1100 as of today
