Absolutely not
Did you not just see Magnus destroy everybody else at the esports
It’s not even a comparison

Hey. I'm good at chess but I can never make a proper end game, any tips?

I also don't agree... Pragg imo isn't at all near top 10, and def isnt Magnus/hikaru level yet

you think pragg is better and we think magnus is better. That's it
dire rose
Sure
vestal mist
no point in trying to convince the other
dire rose
you think pragg is better and we think magnus is better. That's it
It’s simple whoever beat another in a best of or smth like the last 3 time they are better

im gonna play like a crazy goat so dont expect accuracy

not much merit either way

rich sierra
like if you know your mistakes, pattern recognition should prevent them to some extent
but ofc, pattern recognition comes better with playing, than with puzzles
vestal mist
are you making fun of me?
nova basin
rich sierra
ill break it down for you
the flaw with puzzle solving is that there always exists a position; and always you are winning
in games, its much more complicated
finding a tactic when you dont know it exists is much bigger than solving thousands of puzzles
and also in games, you learn better to defend and about positional play
puzzles dont offer anything
rich sierra
you dont defend a losing position
you defend a position your opponent slipped up in
big difference
defending a losing position takes time, and a lot of calculation
heady fulcrum
are you making fun of me?
It was really not that offensive bro. Try to change your pov. Just giving an advice.
Don't look everything in an offensive way like someone is trying to make fun of you. Rather, try to be curious and look at it in a more questionable way. Like this, at least I learn a lot

If you're white, it's worth to experiment with the queen's gambit or London system. Both very solid.
vestal mist
Nah people don't even respond here
Because the "anyone to play chess with" will for sure get you ghosted in a channel like this.
And asking how to get better at chess is like expecting people to teach you maths when they dont even know your grade. Imagine I asked you how to get better at something and I gave you 0 details whatsoever and you had to go in and guess what I knew about that topic.
Also you gave up by the second message dude have some faith 😭

Ik enough chess to know that these words do NOT work together
London system is probably one of the most boring openings for white

Is it better to play rapid or blitz?
rain lion
Got matched with a guy that had 100 elo over me, dominated him in the match 
Never won 10 elo more easily
rain lion
Is it better to play rapid or blitz?
so both are good tho rapid would be better in order to train your accuracy when blitz would be better if you want to work on recognising paterns more fast from what I know
minor wedge
Ohhhh ok

What to do when playing against an opening u have absolutely no theory or plans against
elfin cradle
What to do when playing against an opening u have absolutely no theory or plans ...
try to play as solidly as possible, and look to see what square the opening is trying to attack/focus on.
elfin cradle
yeah
control the center, all that good stuff. Generally, openings fall apart after a few big trades

Endgames are harder trust
edgy swift
Yeah, chess is programming, too.
rich sierra
Endgames are harder trust
yeah i gotta disagree with that
on average yes endgames are tougher, but at the higher levels i think its middlegames
especially cuz theres so much positional play
iron knot
King G4 would be the better move
shadow willow
old pawn
Yeah, chess is programming, too.
Wrong channel buddy

Fair enough
Or what about openings bc of memorizing theory
Especially when you get to gm level theres so much stuff that you need to know

no one hiring your ahh
rich sierra
Or what about openings bc of memorizing theory
nah, atleast at my level people still don't know theory but they manage to play through
and anyways, the entire point of learning theory is to get into a favourable middlegame

dire rose
Ruy Lopez is alright
high yacht
If ur a slow player at least find some different opening
i play blitz and mostly bullet
dire rose
Wait are u an aggressive player?
dire rose
i play blitz and mostly bullet
I meant slow meaning u don’t like to attack much
high yacht

Are u a aggressive or passive player

i still stick with Ruy Lopez for white and King Indian for black?
if you understand the openings then yes
i wouldn't recommend them to players who are below 1800 or so because they involve a lot of theory and positional play
but if it works for you then it works

and then you'd get absolutely ripped apart in the middlegame
If it was bullet yeah
vestal mist
im prouder of knowing middlegames better than openings
old pawn
Im more of a slow and calculating player
vestal mist
because atleast theres theory in the openings which i can learn

Im more of a slow and calculating player
im literally the opposite

Knowing positional concepts and tactics you mean?

"hmmm. Open files... eh might as well sack"

Knowing positional concepts and tactics you mean?
knowing when a sacrifice works and when it doesn't by seeing it for a second

do you lose more bc of time or checkmate/resign?
if bc of time, then i would play practice games with bots and try to play faster. see how it goes.
if bc of checkmate/resign, take more time on your moves and analyze the position.

Keep your advantage, focus on your opponents weaknesses, or just play the game out by trading pieces because you'll carry that advantage to the endgame

Is there any ways to reach 2000 elo with Courses?
I'd suggest chessable courses, they're mostly opening courses but they work well and there are free versions. I'd also suggest you do a lot of puzzles as well to improve tactics.
It also depends on your current elo.

Is there any ways to reach 2000 elo with Courses?
courses do work
but they cost money (might not work if you are a student)
and needs you to be consistent
personally
I got to 2000 without any courses
but
i did that
vestal mist
imo i dont think you should need to use courses to get to 2000
sweet prawn
before i had homework
vestal mist
the wrong mindset is looking at the number
sweet prawn
imo i dont think you should need to use courses to get to 2000
I just got to 2000 by watching high level matches
vestal mist
i'm only a 1600 but i can confidently say that you learn way better on anything by having fun rather than focusing on the result
vestal mist
yeah thats an example
sweet prawn
i'm only a 1600 but i can confidently say that you learn way better on anything ...
real
vestal mist
literally all my 1900 lichess games (said lichess because its got nothing to do with fide elo lol) are just sacking and attacking
exactly what i have fun with
and i learned a thing or two, so you should take my advice
just do what you enjoy in chess, and dont focus that much on elo
sweet prawn
yeah
vestal mist
- this guy's advice is gold
vestal mist
watching other people play is a good way to absorb knowledge

could i play you @sweet prawn ?

So I recently started playing (2 days ago) and I kind of suck at openings what all can I learn to improve my game?
I m 1044
I m lowkey kinda obsessed with chess rn
keen turtle
Chess.com it starts at 800 right
not sure but i think u can choose that
u can start at 400 800 1200 1600
ig
keen turtle
Anyways I suck
1044 is not bad
spark grotto
1044 is not bad
Plus that's blitz
keen turtle
How can I get better openings
honestly just play it out and see which one u prefer, ur gonna enjoy the game more that way, but if u rly wanna improve then there are videos on openings online
spark grotto
Hmm
keen turtle
No I keep losing to this guy at school in 5-6 moves

it’s better if u enjoy the game and don’t overthink improvement

Is there a line of Sicilian you recommend?
I’ve played accel dragon for like the past 6 months and I’m slowly feeling my games are getting shut down by a bunch of anti Sicilian variations
vestal mist
Is there a line of Sicilian you recommend?
open
thats the core
there are other moves like 5.
but js a6 and ur solid
develop normally, put some pressure on the pawn, maybe pin the next knight...
vestal mist
black is winning here btw
well equal, but you have very good plans
very early on
it's the most intuitive line imo
sweet prawn
i've played 80-90% games on low time before tho
yeah
but like
there is a diffrence with playing the whole game with a few minutes
