>>98723681Love this guy, and good op. It has relevant information and isn’t obsessing over one player edition
>>98724766>good op. It has relevant informationThe calendar can be handy I guess but take a look at that rentry and tell me it's not the most bloated thing you have seen in your life
>>98724998You’re doing good work keep it up fren
Must be really stressful to play for your country in important events like the Olympiad.
>>98726315For sure, especially if it’s against a country you don’t like
The problem with chess waifus is that I can't play against them because I'd be constantly distracted.
>>98728519What would you be distracted by?
>>98728592Literally everything. I can wear a huge hat and try to focus on the board, but still, she can sneeze, she can ... fart...
>>98728791Nice haha share more pics if you’d like
>even in chess general you have coomers posting whoresFuck off.
>>98728519Only if they wear short sleeves.
>>98728935It’s better to join them than constantly complain about them!

>>98715480Sindarov, then Caruana.
Is checkers older than chess?
>>98730543probably
>>98730569How do we know?
>>98730596You can play with stones with zero piece design and a few rules, I suppose it was easier to invent. Africans have been playing games with stones (mancala) for thousands of years.
>>98728519You should see the game she played today. She needed a win to save a match draw, and somehow did it from a dead 0.0 position. She’s unbelievable.
>>98730838Post game?

Anyone else disappointed how whorish Dina is? It gets worse the more you look into her.
>>98730543older than modern chess, but younger than shatranj. In Spain, checkers was originally called "Dame" ("Queens") after the medieval chess piece, which moved like a promoted checker.
I went up to a girl at a chess club, I think she thought I was gay
>>98732149What happened? Details please!
Played unbelievably bad today. Ended up resigning most matches in the first 10 moves because I can't concentrate and ended up blundering a ton.
>>98733212I just feel like every girl I meet at the chess club thinks I’m gay.
>>98733646Tell them that you're a 4channer, that'll help for sure.
>>98729700Round 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OFm_VrDTCo
>>98733646Have you tried looking less gay?
>>98734688I just wish I could unfuck all those men, but the chess lessons ain’t gonna pay for themselves
This is so close:-Alua has white tomorrow, but against a strong opponent-Alice has black against a weak opponent
What to expect from this guy?
>>98736699Literally the exact same thing as Dvorkovich.FIDE will absolutely never unfuck itself so long as it continues being infested with the puccian rot.
That’s exciting
Beware, the last round at the Olympiad starts earlier so that half the spectators will miss it.
>>98737873What time

Any cool chess movies coming up?
>>98745106It's not a good subject for movies.
>>98723668Do you guys prefer chess.com or lichess? And why?
>>98746496What about another Bobby Fischer movie, or a tv series? It’s been a while since the last one
>>98746496The musical was pretty good.
