>>486738489>Yeah that's gotta be him lmao what a massive faggotYep. It all lines up.
Hey pbt how come in 2023 you sandbagged your bullet rating from 1700 to 1000 then immediately smurfed your way back up? That's shifty behavior.
>>486741835This here. What happened here?
The long awaited racists vs antiracists team battle is finally here!https://lichess.org/tournament/IoroqBf4Players of all skill level are welcome!
lol there's a general for chess
>>486737484based edition
>>486742267yes you're in it
>>486742169which is which
>>486742169weird start time but I hope I can make it for my racistbros
>>486742169>racists vs antiracists how are we defining these terms? There's a motte and bailey thing that happens with the term 'racist'
>>486744282God damn it, forgot I'm muted. Used to type it into the chat. If someone could type it into the chat that'd be great.herders = antiracistweavers = racist>>486744593I thought that this was the traditional starting time but maybe I remembered it wrong. It can be changed. >>486744696Use your own definitions and pick accordingly anon.
>>486742169which team is which?>>486744696Basically if you believe some races are genetically predisposed to being better at chess, then you're probably racist. (This is how we're keeping it chess themed)
luddite chess league where you're only allowed to play moves from before 1986
>>486746418>Basically if you believe some races are genetically predisposed to being better at chess, then you're probably racist.okay, but that's obviously the case
>>486749964I disagree, but let's not have a productive conversation about it, let's settle this over the board like men of class.

Today your opponent will be:EgyptianUnderrated Hasn't lost a game since July 3I won but i should have aborted that. It was high risk.
approximately what elo do you have to get to before people stop hanging pieces for no reason
>>486742169zoombam is on the racist team? :(
>>486763884according to the schizo it's 2300
>>486765314>>486763884if you ever see a 2300 hang a piece its because theyre cheating and forgot to turn on their engine
>>486763884fide lichess and .scam ratings are all very different in that skill band. also depends on the clock format too. in blitz/bullet they are obviously more commonbut i think 1500-1600 is a good generic answereven the somewhat higher rated players will randomly hang a piece "for no reason, but in general around 1500-1600 is when i'd be surprised to see a completely braindead free piece giveaway
>>486765556I had a 2400 FM hang mate in 2 with over 2 mins on the clock>>486765263>toolazytotry is on the racist teamI'm thinking based
>>486766170thats definitive proof that the FM is a cheater
https://lichess.org/azZXI1wCdrunken bullet
>>4867638841700 com rapid should be low percentage on that but no zero. Somewhere around there. Talking about free piece with no tactic involved to win it. Just grab it there ya go. If there is a one move tactic i don't know when that stops. I'm 1900 com rapid and 2100lirapid, those tactics are still the bread and butter of every game.
>>486771716People here always talk like they're experts. This is my most recent game, 2180 blunders a knight on move 10 with no tactic.
>>486772674>People here always talk like they're experts.I'm talking about my experience at those ratings.
>>486772674>1900 chess comhe is pretty much at chess expert level though KEKW
>>486773732You're absolutely right. I would like to emphasize that bad days happen to everyone no matter the level. Look at attached game. I bet black gave us chess and never came back.
imagine if Hou Yifan kept playing chess instead of getting a real job
>>486780942>became the youngest ever professor at her universityman, sucks she took her talent somewhere meaningful instead of becoming another 27xx shittershe could've had a better wikipedia page and everything. feels bad, man
>in general i would say that my assessment is - and i made a lot of statistics already - and in general i would say that top ten player - ok if its not magnus only - yeah the average level of - in rapid - of a top 10 player is something like between like 15 and 20 - that is, 15 when he's in good form, 20 not best form - but yes that's very very high top top level player accuracy in a tournament lets say, average - and by the way, so, performance centipawn was 13 dot 8, which is actually much better than top 10 - in fact this is the level of magnus carlsen - magnus carlsen in the very good form - at his best i would say - i will compare one of his performances and you will see - so 13 dot 8 like really exclusive level of play - and again there, are lot of decisive games, so the games were not simple - some, yes, ok, some were not too complicated - even though still, when you play rapid chess and you have half minute on clock even in simple position you can go wrong - so again even in rather boring game still to show 10 or 6 is still not easy at all even for top players - but grandmaster svane is showing it quite regularly...
>>486784930

>>486786192In order to speak about cheating at the level of Vladimir you must believe it. It cannot be a shitpost or troll. It must be sincere.

girls just wanna have fuck
The greasy old men at the chess club all had weird, gross, fucked up, cut and mutilated penis. But the spry young furry boys at the universities all have big, snake, phimosis, hard throbbing, dicks or cocks at least.
>>486793170no they just want money i should break up with the girl im seeing cause shes abusive
>>486793901then why do they always fuck broke-ass gangbangers who have no money
It is true that they want money. All the university students are either rich (to pay for the tuition) or are part of some protected class (usually Latino or Asian) that allows them to not ever have to pay for anything in their life so they have basically unlimited spending money. Where do you think all these furry tech-research bros keep coming up with the money for their $1300 art commissions?
>>486794930https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_USJCTIgs4youre questioned is answered at the end
>>486786192>yeah it's literal word saladIt isn't. Kramnik is saying Svane's ACPL over all these games was 13.8 average with a performance rating of 2700 something. That is punching above his weight as a 2400 (rapid). The counter argument though is Frederick Svane is 20 years old and 2636 in classical. It's likely his rapid rating is bullshit due to playing barely any fide rated rapid since he made GM in 2022.
>>486800574nigga should study punctuation instead of statistics

kramnik should study this dick and rotate on it

>>486793471>phimosisThat's not a good thing, anon. I used to have phimosis and it just means that it hurts when you fuck.
>>486814402He's probably just esl and mixed up the words phimosis and foreskin.
>>486815845>>486814402Boys with phimosis are cute, and I'm tired of pretending they're not.
So we have a new gimmick poster and his gimmick is being a faggot?Why does this general attract so many weirdos?
>>486816626gimmick? sometimes you feel a lil bit gay and want to express it. don't make it a bigger thing than it is, just lads being lads. just bcuz we're a chess subreddit, doesn't mean we have to be all serious and kosher all the time. sheesh!
>>486816626lots of posters have the gimmick of being faggots

>>486829595Thanks for the heads up, I played this for like 2 hours even though I only wanted to play 1 originally. Lost all my rating in the second hour. Couple of notes:>increment is gay>no berserk is gay>getting all the strong players right when the concentration is fading and you keep losing is gay>losing to all the hyperaggressive shitters is gay >summer is very gayWe better break the record at least.I was planning to play in the 2024 Summer Marathon and try to get a trophy but this tourney gave me second thoughts. I mean that's only bullet but still. I could barely see anything by the end and it was only 2 hours.

Any medical professionals in here and if so, what do you think of David Howell’s skin in this Crunch Lab Masters stream? It looks like he’s in the early stages of liver cirrhosis, look at what hanging out with Magnus has done to him./chess/ friends, I am not trying to be ironic or facetious here. I genuinely believe he looks like he has jaundice and I would like to get your opinions on this.
got it
>>486860868Not a doctor but I also noticed his skin being yellow yesterday
>>486860868Could just be a bad quality camera
FUCK. I'm 1800-1900 liblitz and I had a +4 position against an IM after 16 moves in a 5+0 game, but blew it.
>>486869254cute
It's over for USA after the current generation of Fabi, Wesley, Hikaru retire. Meanwhile all the top Indian players are 20 or under (Gukesh, Pragg, Arjun, Nihal). And they still have less famours 2600 juniors like Sadhwani, Buddy Pranav, Mendonca, etc. who spend all their time on chess. While the Americans juniors will give up chess to go to a Ivy League school (see Awonder Liang, Carissa Yip, etc). You can bet Yoo and Woodward are both headed the same way.
>>486872203good
the thread has managed to get even slower if that was possible lol
>new account>1. nf3Instant abort.
>>486872203Chess is a meme game so it's better this way.
>2024>he has never trained with pic related>>486890478lmao this is true
>>486890478Yup I dodge all 1. d4 and all 1. Nf3 because Nf3 is glorified d4. those retards don't fool me
Are these knight and bishop lessons on lichess supposed to be one hundred moves long? I just gave up on the previous lesson and got hints for everything and it took ~40 moves to finish. I'm just chasing the king around the board and the best moves I'm supposed to find are some of the most unintuitive recherche garbage imaginable.
>>486895414look up the W maneuver for this. Also this even with best play takes a lot of moves
>>486895414the knight + bishop mate is probably the lowest ROI thing to learn in chess, it'll come up once every 10000 games and then you'll still mess it up because it's been a year since you studied it and you can't remember the details anymore
>>486891370You can play the sicilian invitation with c5, that's what i do.
Haven't played chess in a while, can't believe the general moved to /vg/. So what's the scoop? Y'all wanna play a 960 tournament? 12+5? I had to 'host' ban lichess since I wasted all of my time playing boolet and I needed to get a job
Brehs...for me, it's Jennifer Yu. Also, I for one am fine with them leaning into the chess thot angle.
>>486897202I play Nf6. White will then have to reveal some indication of what kind of thing they want to do. If it's c4 or d4 or even g3, that's all met with a similar setup on my side. I don't play d5 because that lets white go in to main line Reti, which I don't have prep for.
>>486897053>1 in 10,000Potentially even less than that depending on your opening choices. Now of course you don't want to be in a situation where your only path to a win in an endgame is to force yourself in to having to do that checkmate and not knowing how the fuck to do it, which famously happened to a certain former women's world championhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFF5ibgB6eAAnd I will say I have once saved a draw in blitz by forcing my opponent in to trading down to that endgame on the wager they wouldn't be able to do it. There was increment but he didn't know the technique. He offered me a draw, said "I don't know how to do this" in chat, I accepted.
>>486906430Is this the bimbo world championship
>>486906430Something about Alexandra Botez's mouth weirds me out. It's like she just jams as much botox/lip fillers into her lips as possible. Doesn't look natural.
>>486860868That's kinda racist, bro.
>>486910732Both Botez sisters are bogged.

I love how every other day when I log on chess com to do anonymous games, there's a red number in the top left signifying someone got bannedthe amount of cheating on the site is just ridiculous
>>486930838how are you getting the notification if it's anon games?
>>486742169Starts in 40 minutes
>>486941884>1 ""anti racist"" vs 4 based peopleYeah, this tourney is not happening, it was to be expected there aren't enough normies on 4chin. Also why the fucking hour? It's 8 am here and am still hangover from yesterday
>>486941884>>486943532I completely fucked up. I wanted to set it to 8 pm but I set it to am. I can't even play in it like this. I only joined antiracist because I knew everyone, or at least most of the strong players will join racist. I was hoping that maybe the guy posting the challenges and calling out "the racist" would join but even he stayed away. My bad lads.
>>486941860no idea but the red number shows up. you can try it yourself
>>486944136can't you change the time?
>>486944136Too bad. I really wanted to play with the og gang. Make the next one at a reasonable hour and I'll shill it here during the week and I'll even send some mass messages on lichess when I get the time.The summer is soon finishing, it's about time we get the tourneys back up and running
>>486944136The antiracist really showed the courage of his convictions (negligible, strictly confined to anon games)
>>486945219Done. Sorry borby2 and pasta. ut this was the original intention and hopefully more people show up then.
>>486945473>Ramirez and ShahadeNow there's a good matchup
>>486945506Nema problema, maybe we should make another proper shill post though

https://lichess.org/training/NQHiMcute
>>486948418Nope. That's too subtle for me at this time of night.
The record for playing the most chess games in a day was broken.
>>486742169>>486947737should we rebrand this as ultra racist vs regular racist for the sake of participation and team balance?
I switched out the KID for the QGD and chess is fun now. No more do I have to suffer a chronic lack of space.
I just flagged a middleaged russian FM in 3+0 with a very low blitz rating. Motherfucker played the exchange and got flagged in a +billion position where I only had one pawn left. Total slowbrain death
>>486953786Lmao at that picIt's fine as is imo but it can certainly be an idea for a sequel All of a sudden the teams are balanced tooMaybe it will be an actual team battle in the end
>>486906430>battle of mids and the one token brown chickmeh. wake me up when they make them wrestle naked while covered in oil.
>>486952823I break that supposed record every time I get drunk and go on an angry bullet spree.

>>486784930>>486785425>>486786192>>486786935>>486800574>Vladimir Kramnik, a former World Chess Champion, was discussing the accuracy of top chess players in rapid chess games. To make his point more concise and readable:>Kramnik analyzed the performance of top players in rapid chess, comparing their accuracy to centipawn loss (a measure of move quality). He found that top 10 players typically have an average centipawn loss between 15-20, with 15 representing good form and 20 less optimal play.>In a specific tournament he was referencing, the average centipawn loss was an impressive 13.8, which Kramnik considers exceptional. He compares this to Magnus Carlsen's best performances, indicating it's a level of play rarely seen even among elite players.>Kramnik emphasizes that maintaining this accuracy is challenging in rapid chess, especially with time pressure and decisive games. He notes that even in seemingly simple positions, top players can make mistakes with little time on the clock.>The grandmaster Kramnik mentions, Svane, consistently demonstrates this high level of accuracy in rapid chess, which Kramnik finds remarkable.

https://abema.tv/now-on-air/shogihttp://live.shogi.or.jp/ouza/kifu/72/ouza202407220101.htmlThe final of the 72nd Oza challenger tournament is being played, between Yoshiharu Habu (sente) and Takuya Nagase. The time control is 5 hours per player, and the format is a best of 1. The winner will play Sota Fujii in a best of 5 match for the Oza title, which both players are former holders of (Habu 24 times, Nagase 4).The opening of this game was gote's Gangi (an unusual choice for Nagase, who usually players P-84 as gote) vs. Sente's rapid attack.

If it keeps getting this slow we might have to merge the threads again brahs
>>487106589again, anon, I ask you: do you believe these posts will achieve the effect you intend? A couple weeks again you literally counted down "3 - 2 -1 let's go back to /tg/!" and were apparently completely sincere about it.
>>487106985This is like the first time I've posted in a thread in months, I usually just lurk.Idk if tg is where we should go.
>>487107220The thread activity level runs in waves depending on time of year and notable ongoing events. It's summer with minimal events so the thread is slow.
>>487110498Suppose that makes sense. Just wish my irl friends liked chess enough to talk about it regularly. This board is the next best thing for me.
>>487106589The other thread has literally one poster there is no merge to be done

>>487116194just go to the catalog, sort by creation date and go to the bottom some threads are 18 days old right now, even at his slowest /chess/ is faster than a good chunk of generals here, IIRC we only got bumped off twice in 7 months no need to worry and even at worst /vst/ is super slow and arguably a better fit for us than vg anyway
good morning /eceleb/. what will our favorite chess players do today?
https://lichess.org/training/13AqVI hate puzzles like this, maybe the guy saying not to do them if they have <1000 plays is correctthe starting position is weird but still first 3 moves are relatively easy to find but then just when you assume the puzzle will end you have to find the 4th only move which too me is too much calculation requiered for the ratingmaybe to you it's obvious but to my eyes kxg7 c3, the solution and to a lesser extent d3+ all seemed plausible and it's not trivial to rule them all outYes I'm seething and it's a skill issue whatever enough puzzles for today
>>487133006nah you're right this puzzle is fucking garbagethe final move isn't even a tactic or anything. it's just.. a move that continues the game. and somehow that's the end of the puzzledefinitely feels like a puzzle that an ai came up with and is scuffed in the type of way that an ai would fuck up. it's a series of weird moves that feel puzzle-y, but it lacks a coherent point
>>487135182although i guess it's as simple as the puzzle should stop after the rook sac that removes the defense of the queenthe fact that it makes you move the bishop after is just retarded
>>487132585Hans is currently 2715. He's only 3 elo behind Keymer and close to breaking into the top 20.
>>487136436our boy doing good, but the lame ass US chess federation busting his balls over some shit everyone forgot about. apparently he didn't tip the arbiter at st louis chess club? got off with a warning this time... phew!
>>486906430Man, they couldn't get Hannah Sayce? I guess I will follow a little bit of the chess, then go jerk off to their Passes content.
>>486810185that's a really good one. It also shows why it is often good practice to do Kb1 early after castling queenside to avoid tactics against your king.

>>487150737>Man, they couldn't get Hannah Sayce?bit ashamed to admit it but this was my first thought as well. second thought was that Belenka should retire if she doesn't stomp these bitches. the only threat is maybe Yu
>>487133006>maybe the guy saying not to do them if they have <1000 plays is correctI didn't mean that exactly. I was mostly criticizing the fact that lichess has no minimum threshold for play count on the puzzle challenge modes like storm/ streak/race. When an inaccurately rated pizzle appears in those it throws off the difficulty curve those modes are supposed to have. If you care about your puzzle rating then yes you may want to turn the rated toggle off as prophylaxis against bullshit due to low play count.
>>487154315Belenkaya is lower rated than (Yu).
Hello /chess/, >>>/vg/vrg/ tourist hereReminder that over there we are regularly playing chess in vrchat and that next session is today at 21:30CEST/19:30UTC (~2h30 from now)We'll play 1h of chess before switching to mahjong, but people who wants to stay for chess can keep the instance alive if they want to.> I don't have VR and what's the point?You can play without vr as well, we use vrchat which also have a non-vr client. The main appeal is to play with different people in a virtual environment, which means you can talk (or type if you don't want to use a mic), spectate and move from table to table.The table implementation also have (in-game) replay, so you can analyze the game afterward with your opponent.> What do I need to be able to join?Basically to make a vrchat account and to have the game started (you can just install it from steam), I recommend to make a direct vrchat account rather than using your steam account for in-game log in as it makes joining easier.I will post an instance link when the event starts, while logged in the vrchat website you can click on "invite me" and you will get a notification in-game to join the instance.Besides maybe getting familiar with the controls you don't need anything else really> How do we play? (time settings, ...)We usually play with 10min +5sec, but it's up to the player to set it up. The timer reaching 0 says "gg" but doesn't force to end the game, so you can agree to ignore the timer if you prefer> What's the skill level?According to the other host the average /vrg/ chess skill ranges from 800 to 1500 chess.com> NA hours when?NA chess instances are on 10pm EST on Wednesdays

This Alice Lee game is pretty nice so far. Hopefully she can finish it off. Position still very complex after the knight sac.https://www.chess.com/events/2024-us-junior-chess-championships-girls/06/Vidyarthi_Omya-Lee_Alice
>>487197242true but the other anon is also right
>inb4 archived
>>487201406it's managed to get even slower lol
>>487192049Idk man, most of the chess players I've played with irl just seemed really content with the game in general. It feels nice having some quiet time contemplating things outside of daily stresses, and it's fun chattering with someone over famous players' games. Love the social aspect of getting to know people from so many parts of the world, sharing experiences and stories. It's such an autistic hobby and it's easier for fellow autists to talk about it and be passionate over it. It's a comforting yet stimulating refuge from the expectations of life.
>>487187775I think blitz is worse for degen losing streaks tbdesuin bullet so much of the game is pure instinct that even if you're having a godawful day once you drop enough you rape people just by playing on automatic, also you can play so many games that the bad luck aspect can be nullified by pure sample sizea bad day of blitz can get really fucking bad though because if you're tilted and playing carelessly your opponents have enough time to actually punish you for it, but it's still fast enough for you to play a ton of games and send your elo into a landslidewhen I was degen spamming blitz I would have days with like 300 elo swings, never had anything like that happen with bullet
According to Lichess I had 0.00 seconds left at some point during my last blitz game and went on to win. I am invincible. (only 8 blunders by the way).

>>487216038I knew you could turn off chat, but can you also hide their username and rating? I'll go do that too.

When you get better, you stop with that retardation anyway, automatically. It's just natural cycle of chess development
>>487277251

Well in /chess/ specifically or the actual chess scene it'd be nice if people stopped treating "zoomers are awful" as if it's a mysterious, controversial issue. It could not possibly be more straightforward: all throughout history the young guys who knew nothing were very intimidated to speak up. They knew that there might be an immediate price for saying something retarded (like a punch). Put everyone on the internet and suddenly the scared children have a lot to say. Basic psychology. Highly comparable to dog behavior.

I hate the chud.com game review crap. I hate how it always tells you that you played like someone 400 elo higher rated than you. I hate how they have the little avatar baseding out over your plays. I hate how it tells you some vague bullshit instead of immediately showing you the alternate line. I hate how they redefined what a blunder is. I hate how the entire analysis system is built around giving people dopamine shots to make them buy a diamond membership. I hate Danny Rensch.

The rating increase when you take a leap in skill is so fucking tedious brehsI’ve won nearly 30 games in a row on cheesecum and it just feels like im smurfing at this point. Give me more fucking points per win you fuckers
>chess.com tells me 7 blunders when the game's finished>check analysis>says 0 blundersyeah i don't think this semen slurping site is for me
>>487407550how did you take said leap in skill?
>>487409405it sounds paradoxical but i stopped playing chess kekJust spent the time i previously spent playing studying and i played puzzles in downtime when i was taking a shit or on the train or whatever. I feel like you really can’t learn anything from other players on your level because they know the same amount as you.
>>487400569Someone's mad he doesn't get the double exclamation point brilliant move rating on a regular basis
>>487416423Those are meaningless. If you know how to use some basic 3-move tactics you can farm "brilliant moves" pretty much every single game. They aren't anything special.

There are two kids i scored wins over when they started, now I have zero chance. I mean I would have a hard time holding a draw if they gave me knight odds. They will do this while snacking on animal crackers. You must experience this ego death and accept it.

>>487473657Jennifer Yu has been eating well. Looking a little chunky
>>487484584Your castling time in most openings comes in a specific window of moves. This is the first thing to check. If you're delaying it, double check your reasons for why. Did you have to do whatever you did instead? It was necessary right at that moment? On rare occasions it is necessary to delay. Nearly all pre-castle attacks are bullshit hope chess trappy stuff (except with white against the king's indian). If you're doing analysis and the position is out of book already, set stockfish to multiple lines and watch what it says. Whenever it's saying castling and some other move are roughly equal you castle. That alternative move usually relies on precise play to justify delaying castle or committing to going uncastled for the game. So just make a note to castle in that kind of position.

>>487534104>At that pointI agree lichess is strictly superior but what do you mean "at that point"?the .scam analysis is terribile and insults the user intelligence in every way, if some one wants to play on .scam for whatever reason they should analyse on lichess
Just got back to 600 on chesscum after an almighty tilt that brought me down from 1100 to 450…. Im so back….
Is there anything more relieving in this game than>make blunder>notice it while opponent is on the clock>ohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck please dont see it please dont see it please dont see it>he misses it>winI feel like a retard for having to rely on an opponent not noticing something but a win is a win.

>>487560628This is licheat cope.Chesscom is financially incentivized to take an active stance against cheating both because of its business model and because of its position as the defacto official online platform for pro chess.Lichess, being a charity, has no such incentive and makes it clear that they don't care by making you write an essay about why you think your opponent cheated. If their anticheat was remotely comparable, it would be a simple click to report and block and that would be the end of it.Lichess is only good as a free analysis tool, but you're kidding yourself if you think you're going to get fair matches on that site or refunded when someone cheats against you.

>>487562994In other words blitz is just some glorified variant that might as well have been adapted just to make the game suitable for ADHD tiktokbrains. It isn't chess.
>>487564028magnus has been world champ of blitz, rapid, and classical and has the highest elo currently in all threeblitz is chess, bud. the only time control you can make that argument for is bullet, and even bullet is chess, it's just less chess than the others
>>487565220Magnus has also beaten super GMs in blitz "chess" despite playing objectively terrible moves such as 1.e4 2.Ke2 or 1.f3. It all just goes to prove my point. If it even is chess it's a low form of chess. It's not the same sport.

Is it ethical to bring children to chess?
>>487563794>>487564017More cope and seethe from licheatsThese kiddies can only play on licheat because they got banned from chesscom which is why they worship thibeaux's nutsack
>>487574893Not sure what you mean. There's nothing wrong with introducing children to the game. At worst they just dislike it and you can introduce them to some other hobby.
>>487575214>they got banned from chesscomUnlike lichess .scam doesn't even bother to IP ban cheaters nor does it care about people making multiple accounts, a cheating thirdie can make 20 more accounts within minutes of getting banned on oneI agree that lichess cheat detection is inferior but having less casual brownoids plus the IP banning and nuking multiaccounts probably leads it to have a lower % of cheaters

How do I become less passive when playing as black? Last two league games I’ve played as black I’ve played solidly with few inaccuracies, however they’re just getting a slight edge and converting it in the endgame. Any books to read or openings to try?
>>487689421Supremely based old Vlad>Even Fischer wasn't such a nazi chudI know you're joking but there were literally zero signs in Fischer's time that things would get this insane with the world today. Bobby would make every rightwing e-celeb we have now look like a fucking pussy if he were still alive.Anyway chess. Here is chessdotcom's daily puzzle from yesterday, i found it very cool. White to move.
>>4876921081. Kg6 Bxg7 2. hxg7 e4 3. f4 e3 4. f5 e2 5. f6 e1=Q 6. f7#
>>487691872You could try the do or die openings where if you go passive, you're dead like the Grunny or the Pirc. It's jumping in at the deep end though and picking spicier sidelines for your openings to complicate and avoid endgames could also be a solution.
>>487694191That is correct, very nice!
>>487692108>Bobby would make every rightwing e-celeb we have now look like a fucking pussy if he were still alive.Bobby is the chess version of Terry really, nobody would take his ramblings seriously.
>>487689421Kramnik is based, simple asAlso people who use the light theme on any device should be shot on sight
>>487691872like anon said yeah, just play the less drawish, fighting openings as black. it's why /chess/ recommends stuff like the alekhine's defense

>>487707971Hans shitman drew his way back down to 2710. It's over.
>>487697768It's actually the opposite. Light themes are objectively more readable and dark themes are for Discord trannies. Notice what's the default theme for Discord... That's right. It's dark theme. What's the default theme for VS Code (where Discord trannies write their tranny code)? That's right. It's dark.

>>487746126For me, it's Ukrainskaya
I've noticed d4 seems to popular with a lot of Russian club players while e4 in my experience is by far the most popular first move in American and English clubs. I wonder why that is.
>>487747263Fischer probably.
500 elo on the road to 1200 give me your>opening as white>openings as black>e4 vs d4 vs nf3
>>487748882You can basically close your eyes and get to 1600 idk why you're worried about openings. Just do puzzles until 2000 elo and the maybe learn some e4 theory if you want
>>487748882just play whatever feels right to you
>>487748882>Scotch>e5 against e4, slav against d4, abort against anything else.
>>487748882Queen's GambitSicilianD4>E4
>>487748882Seconding queen's gambit. Just learn what to do if black accepts the gambit and tries to hold on to the pawn. That is an easy road to 1000. Mainly everything involving 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e3 b5You will win free knights and rooks from this at that rating range. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a5p8flI5wc
>>487748882Me personally at around 1200 or so at the minute does the following:>White: Ruy Lopez>Black: Hyper-Accelerated Dragon>vs. normal D4 players: King's Indian/ Nimzo-Indian (Better results with the latter)>vs. London shitters: King's Indian and or some random anti-london thing I learned from a video.
>>487748882~1200 rapidRuy Lopez or King's Gambit as white depending on mood1...e5 vs. e4QGD setup vs everything else
>>487748882For me it's the slow Italian as white, e5 or Pirc vs 1. e4, Grunfeld vs 1. d4 and Nf6 vs 1. Nf3 and 1. c4 (fishing for transpositions).t. 1900 chess.cum

>>487776231You should check yourself into a mental institution if you think Kasparov and Karpov shouldn't be in the same tier and that Fischer should be in a tier above them. An accurate top 5 would be 1. Kasparov 2. Karpov 3. Fischer 4. Carlsen 5. Botvinnik and the only relevant question is whether Botvinnik is the bottom of S tier or the top of A tier.
