Are you good at chess?
>>
Bo7 needed

For some reason based on the captured pieces it seems unlikely that black won that game but what do I know.
>>

if people think you are smart, they automatically assume you can play chess really well (and vice versa). i don't understand this trope. i think you need to read guides and play a lot to get good. i got asked to play and i was only going by feel, had no idea what i was doing
i don't like watching it either
>>
>>222031998
I know how the pieces move, that's about it
>>
>>222034342
Yeah it's just like maths. People assume if you're clever you're good with math.

>>222034505

I know all the rules but none of the strategies.

Are Indians going to post this guy every time he wins?

>>222037198
this could have gone very gay, but it went in the based direction

Im stuck at 1200 hell where most jeets dwell. Im not even pushing for elo, just want to play cheeky fun chess and i meet jeets who either keep switching the app to check on computer moves just stall games without resigning everytime they lost a piece. I dont understand, its 1200 elo, why the fuck they even doing this? Its not like you got to brag if you win or be humiliated should you lose.

Originally the Queen was the general. They changed it to queen to have the whole King queen schtick
>>
>>222037198
Kings can mate kings in chess it just never happens and they can't do it alone. Also the bishops, rooks, and knights are all men.
>>
>>222034342
pattern recognition desu, but to be actually good you have to come up with your own ideas
memorizing openings and mating patterns only gets you so far. it's why i don't do it. i'll never git gud because why would i, i just follow strategic principles that apply to most games
>>
>>222031998
If chess were a greater mind sport, Google's DeepMind would have chosen a Norwegian chess player instead of a South Korean Go player as the sole human player for AlphaGo to compete against.

>>222037198
control the center with pawns, stop advancing paws or you'll sufficate, don't get your queen out early, develop with tempo if you can, don't move the same piece too much, try to castle, luft for your kang. try to place your knights in the center or on outposts, exchange your bad piece for their well placed piece, bishops on long diagonals, rooks on open files (obviously), and don't take the bait. and get your king out asap when the queens are off
from the top of my head. some basic rules can help quite a bit. not hard to understand either
only then start looking at specific openings and tactics
>>
>>222041590
a king can never put himself in check
while i'm at it learn about the rules when your time runs out. if a mate is possible even as bizarre as they come you lose
Firouzja chimped out one time because even he didn't know about that rule lmao, and he's a super GM

>chess is a game of deceit and manipulation
all your pieces are shown on the board, how can you deceive anyone
>>
>>222042388
>If chess were a greater mind sport
also there wouldn't have been so many indians playing it

throw enough shit at a wall and eventually some will stick
