Ay chess fellas! This friday I'll be representing my school on a chess tournament against students from other schools. Im not a pro nor I have real ELO or something like that, but I do know how to defend myself well enough. Any tips y'all would care to share?

Chess in the park
Man you are trolling
Chess in the park is disabled in this chanel
Unfortunately a bunch of people were misusing the activity function of the channel
Now you can only share chess.com / lichess links
You guys are free to play chess online?
crazy
Since when can Bishops & Queens hop over pawns, and how in that many movement turns, at LEAST 3, did they not move a single piece? 💀
Even if that explains the pawn hopping it doesn't explain the opponent skipping their own turns without just automatically forfeiting, am I being trolled? It's early
its obviously fake
unless you wanted to flex knowing your checkmates from a certain custom position

After they blundered their Queen, everything went downhill for them
Not a good teacher, I mainly rely on experience 😭

Good game @primal ridge
I got some work to do
Let's play tomorrow
Okay?

Sis thinks she's Hikaru
I have an account on both
What's your ratings btw?
1200-1300 c.c and like 1100 lichess but that's because I haven't played rated on lichess in over two years now so it should be more like 1500
I'm also probably really rusty because I haven't been doing many games since about September last year due to college apps
but now that I'm in I'll be more active :)
Keep it up bro
why watchu need
Probably game review
wanted to ask if its worth it
hey
i am new to the chess btw i do know all basic moves of the pieces
so can anyone teach me or just play with me to learn smt?
You new?
Sure bro dm me
Unironically did this because of Hikaru 😭

Minecraft , moba legend
For now it's tomorrow we can play Delta Force and Counter Strike multiplayer if you don't want to play them
Hmm
does anyone want to perhaps play chess
whats chess?
i dont know if thisis sarcasm but its like this game where you use pieces to win against someone by taking their king
thats like a really simplified explanation of it though
its basically a really strategic board game

i dont know if i can play it now tho because i just found out i gotta go
have fun
ty!
This is Chess club
So don’t ask that here, please and thanks
Hello! I'm new here
Used to be a big chess fan
👍🏻
👍
Alr
ok
👍
Pawn c2 to c4
English ew
I don't like English :)
you don't like it because you lose against it
Nah I'd win
oof I'm cooked then
I sometimes keep it closed till someone (me included) messes up
Oh
I suffer from unnecessary pawnpush-itis
so that might not be good for me
I switched from that playing style upon hitting 1300 though
then I fell several points and that's where I am now
What's your current rating?
Oh
1260/1240 rap./bl.
That's nice
How'd you git gud at chess?
Idk I just did 😂
Have played like 1500 games till date
Learnt from my mistake
And here I am
Started playing in Nov 2023
I binge watched gotham one day and then grinded chess for a week and went from 400 to 1200 Petty soon
:(
Then I went to some offline tournaments
Oh damn
Took like 3 months then I was 1200 --> 1500
Then it remained there for a while
Then like 2-3 months later I pushed to 1650 then fell down to 1350 
I'm just a really slow but steady learner
I never really watched educational chess videos lol
Then I took a break from chess for like 5-6 months
Well then you're just different hehe
Keep at it and you'll improve
Nah
I'm about 4000 games in in total and I haven't budged very much recently
but I'll keep at it xD
Lol
I went on hiatus because of college apps but now that it's over hopefully I can play more!!
congrats! what's your repertoire like?
1469 rapid games in all time
With black i would usually play the sicilian against e4 and Nakamura's kings indian against d4
As white i just go with Italian deep theory
hikaru has his own version of KID?
It's the way he plays it
Very aggressively
so launch kingside, I'm assuming
Yup
There's a beautiful game I'll send wait

Gelfand vs Nakamura
It's just 🔥🔥🔥
@crimson grotto
I've saved some nice games from the past where I did cool sacrifices
obv they don't compare to GM shenanigans but I'll look through them
most of these games are like 2 years old
here's one (white to move)
it's just an exchange though...
ah here's another one (black to move)
Hmm ok
Is anyone free to play chess?
I cracked trust
That’s pretty much every kings Indian
Jolkm ju
Yeah
Queen to e1
qe1
Kg2
Cut to the chase, ...Qe2
Then Kh3
What the best move in that position?
||(it's the queen sacrifice Qh5+ to either force stalemate or repetition of moves)||
whats the app??
Different themes, perhaps?
Queen to h5
Am I stupid? Black cant move their queen to h5
It's after all the moves I said above, sorry for not clarifying 😭
Being ..Qe1+ Kg2 Qe2+ Kh3
Oh
Oh I see
Im sick rn which is annoying
Oof gws
Get well soon
Hii!!
Hi
Hi
nah
yo
Idk
U got banned a long time ago
Bet
I got banned 3 times 😔😔😔
Wait here or chess.com
Me
Ik Ik
It kinda died icl
Brain rotted ppl joined that server
Alr here or chess.com?
Nvm I gtg in 8 minutes
Bruh
Not even like a 3+2 game
I suck
I’m like 150
U should beat me in like 5 min lmao
Oh well, I was planning to join a 4th time 💀
@rich sierra want to play a game?

1223kratos

i shall beat you one day
lol thank you
Wsg!!
guys what are all of your elos
115 lol
800 but im playing against my 1.2k friends and beating them
i just gotta play more tbh
Yeah
I'm about 800 too!
Damn, how long have yall been playing?
where do you find that?
It’s the number written beside your name when you play games
:'] 200
That’s not bad, cuz in 210 😭
Thats okay im only 1647
I think mine is 222
OHHH THATS SO COOL
Bro I’m stuck in 500
hhiiiii anybody want to play?
I am 1000
Damn bro you really good
I can’t make it 5 moves in without blundering something
Alg you get better over time
Just analyse the board take your time look for checks captures and attacks and find a simple opening that is easy for you but is still good
Réti openings are gud
You're th ehighest one here by far
blunder_master is 1800 and back when I was active a year ago I had a conversation with a candidate master
I think a lot of people in this server are really gifted at chess but don't necessarily speak here very often
Ther's a CM here?
Not that impressive buddy😭
Vs me rq
yeah but I don't think he's been active in over a year now
I'm sure there are others, though
Stafford gambit >
found the eric rosen fan
who else advocates for the stafford?!
Cuz I had to vs some idiots where the video didn’t even think of those moves
Interesting
I did watch some Eric Rosen tho
I've forgotten every stafford line ever since I stopped playing regularly so I might still get cooked by the stafford if you played me rn 😭
But Stafford gambit is op if yk how to play
but do drop a study if you're willing!
What ur elo
Wdym be that
1300?
By
Like, drop the lines you're talking about
Fide?
there are things on chess.com and lichess called studies
that help you annotate these moves
nope I just play casually on c.c
If I enter a fide rated tourney it'll probably be after I graduate college hahaha
I'm too old 👴
K
👌
I do think I could beat u tho
yeah, probably
No it is not 😭🙏
For my level of skill
I can beat ppl above 1600 irl
well then keep playing!
I think it’s cuz I join games and resign after a few moves cuz I don’t feel like playing
oh I get that feeling except I resign after the smallest mistake
I do that when I tilt
What ur bullet rating?
certainly lower than my rapid and blitz
good night
Hello! I am currently doing CS50x and have an interest in chess but don't knows where to begin. Any idea?
Gothamchess
Heck yeah
its garbage 😭
It's fun as a challenge, though
and at least when I was lower-rated it was funny seeing people fall for that one line lmao
even 800s evolve bro 😭
hey, honestly I'm here to have fun with the chess!
I've resolved to play dubious sacrifices even if it means a greater loss if it doesn't work out
I’m down
Come to lounge 1
i cant
im in another vc
i just asked for chess to do smth since theres a boring thing going on ingame and i wanted to kill time
all good lmk when you’re available 👍
alr
They removed chess in the park bc people were miss using bot commands
No it is not😭
Even if u play against it perfectly it’ll still be equal and prob me will have a bette reposition
Position
What's your elo btw
I can probably play after like 7pm est
Aka 2 hours
Check out this #chess game: Elphuti vs Kush_Talati - https://www.chess.com/game/live/141610679804
I really grinded my opponent in the endgame
bros a genius
play a game w me
Kk
whats ur user
Mb
sent
resent
ggs
so i asked if it was better to take a longer time format
Nah I muscled
you got into unstoppable mate, where was the misclick 😭
Yk when I lost my knight
I didn’t mean to go there
i wasnt up a piece tho
U were
One game I fumbled my knight
Anwyasn
The second game was prob to closet
I thought I fumbled
I don’t think u did buddy
Thx
How does bro remeber 😭
Wait lemme explain how I saw it
and also rg3
rg3 was so bad on my part
Fr I was expecting a check
I baited u out
Cuz u need them pieces
And then I won
nah the check was a blunder
But then I was like why would he do that
I realised
cuz theres kf7 and then id lose
Nah
Stafford is only good below 1000 it’s decent at 1200-1500 but after that it’s garbage
Hi everyone
I'm new here.
What do u guys mostly do in this club?
play and discuss and analyse
grind elo 
thats why scoth is good
scotch
Probably @vestal mist
He’s like 3000
He had 1800
Ig they gotta make you a gm
I ain’t never tryna vs u again
I have a 50% win rate against u
True
It’s 2-1
Mb it’s 33%
Ik I realised
Ur 1000 more elo than me
So that means Eric Rosen is the goat
I don’t think so
No
He’s opening op
Then if he plays stupid ah moves in the middle game he ain’t the goat
“Oh no my queen”
Also u gonna try join f3?
Nr
I’ve only watched him twice and I’ve seen him say it twice
Kk
I would’ve but you said it died
Ofc
It does
WTF
He joined again
But then he pinged everyone and said n-word or n-word
He got banned
Same with sd and then
Are u guys fighting?
Hmm
How does it look like we fighting 😭
😅
Myz iamtony we all stopped talking their much
😭
So even if I came back I’d have no one to talk to
Barca Man U and quenda be carrying that server
Nah there some guys
Inconsistent tho

guys btw iam stuck at 1300 i cant go up need help
i am at 1400 chess.com elo 1000 USCF. I know if I improve my tactical vision and pattern recognition thats the fatest way to improve
Thats common, happened to me
I started by working on things other players my rating werent perfect at
Endgames are a good example
1700, if u want to improve, u want to focus on playing more tactically, working on calculating, solving puzzles, knowing endgame theory, and working on developing middle game ideas
Imma FINNA mess u up this is not RAGEBAIT
Hey guys! Just a heads up that we will be having a new club department and I will be the manager for this new department. With the new department, we will be moving into a new club structure. The plan for how it would operate is here: #1401503676945666089 message (we would most likely be running with that revision if the feedback comes back positive).
I would like to ask for your guy's opinion on this structure and suggest any changes in the post. Your club here will be one of the first club to be move into this new structure. I'm excited to work with you all!
Stafford gambit op

Ur elo does not match ur skill
exactly, so that means you can get to 2100 too
Yeh I can 🙏
If I grind chess I can
Why?
If pragg beat Magnus the last 3 times they vs pragg is better
who's that
It’s as simple as that
A guy who beat Magnus Carlson the last 3 times the vs in a row at pro tournaments
bro what
do you like understand chess at all
magnus is the greatest of all time (slightly debatable) and theres no competition
chess might be the only sport where beating someone doesnt mean youre better
yes exactly
i mean
credit where it's due, pragg crushed magnus
but magnus is still better
2020 to 2025 is 10w 6l 9d for magnus though
even the vs stats dont even matter
even if magnus loses every game he plays for the remainder of his career he will still be the goat
his career doesnt have much time left though
im on ur side btw
im a magnus fan
btw yall how should we distribute the club roles?
im not the biggest magnus fan but yeah, can't die his greatness
idk
i think we should do it based off activity instead of level
no one here is that active tho
magnus ur fav player?
fr
but i think i like kaspy more
im not a big fan
he's a great guy tho
i think i've played 12 brilliant moves this week
well last cause its monday
the thing i rlly like about kasparov is that he was aggressive but not too aggressive
Damn
I've never gotten that many
In a week
insane
trust me i got hundreds
Same but mine are spread out
i sack, i dont even care if its brilliant or not
btw i got 1615 in blitz in another account
Oh cool
blitz or rapid
Rapid
Now theres more people who can just randomly play 90 accuracy games
thats true lol
