let's go alireza
We in a 5+0 ligma today, starts in 2hrs. 44min.https://lichess.org/tournament/HrUQtLONBe there or be square.
>>536093141Precision engineered to lick white butthole
Okay the liga is starting in 4 minutes!
>>536096025Catmixer pls carry
If you play less than 30 hours of bullet per week lower your voice when speaking to me
>>536116957He strategically withheld support in our time of need, typical catmixer
A few days ago I was bitching about being in the 600 ranks and someone recommended chessbruh's habits series to me. I watched the first three episodes and have taken the lessons to heart but honestly they seem just as bad as what I was doing before, and my rank isn't budging.
>>536133937post games and let us analyze, that's the only way
>>536134935There's nothing to analyze, I just make retarded moves. Ever since I started doing the "habits" (which is just basically play with you're brain off) I just throw even harder and am down -60 just today.
>>536133937I know you're still blundering pieces, you need to stop that. If you can avoid hanging your pieces and you take your opponent's hanging pieces, you will be 1000 easily.
>>536136545Nigger I’ve been telling faggots how retarded the “habits” are for decades. Go to the archive and read some of my posts
>>536136665I am, I just need to calm down and stop playing impulsively. Everyone says you can be 1000 easily, and that's why I feel like a retarded child.>>536137547There is nothing to fucking analyze, all you're gonna say is "ya you're retarded". I try to learn from mistakes but I've always been garbage at that.
>>536138694Quit crying like a faggot and lrn2study. Have you ever improved at anything before? Chess is the same, you spend time practicing and learning and overtime your performance will increase until you hit your natural ceiling at which point you will need PEDs to progress
>>536140718>Have you ever improved at anything before?Nope. I've either been naturally good or cried. That's my whole life.
>>536141138Well, if you’ve ever read one of these threads before you know what I’m going to say. Hit the gym and read the Soviet chess primer
>>536138694>Everyone says you can be 1000 easilyI didn't mean that it would be easy, but that if you stop dropping pieces then you will certainly be able to play at that strength.Learning to not drop pieces isn't easy, you need to pay attention and force yourself to think before you move. You don't need to just think in a general sense in whatever manner you're used to thinking about the position, but to make a conscious effort to check whether your move is hanging something.Eventually it will become more or less automatic, but it requires effort at firstAlso solving some chesstempo tactics every day should help you, at the low levels there are a lot of basic hanging piece problems, hanging mates, simple pins/skewers/discoveries/promotions, etc. which should all become second nature
>>536142810>Soviet chess primerwhat is this?
>>536143692Exactly what it says.
>>536143678I will keep trying to do this, I know I'm already developing these skills. When I was on ADHD meds I actually got up to 900 very easily a few years ago. But then I stopped taking them and stopped playing for a couple years and now I'm below 600 as of today.
>press new opponent button>be lichess>I'll do you one better...>the same opponent!
JUST FUCKING THROWING END GAMES AFTER BEING UP 5.1 FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
>>536143841this nigga ain't gonna do that, too lazy to calculate, just read his posts, he's acting like a bitch. >>536138694Post them, we are gonna say you're retarded BUT we are gonna give you the reason and HOW to fix those mistakes, that's the difference. Don't be scared, if you don't want to post your username, download the game as a gif and then upload that to lichess or just edit the fucking gif idk
>>536148104here's my most recent game. I thew away a bishop for free, and that cost me the game because I didn't look
>>536148613and another one I just played and managed to not throw
>>536148613>>536149576ya you're retarded
>>536148613imo you played extremely well for a 600, you were crushing until you hung your bishop. Even then you could probably have gotten a draw. I think you should have sac'd the rook for the promoted queen and tried to promote your remaining pawn (keeping your king nearby)But obviously the main problem was the classic <1000 blind spot of playing a mostly half-decent game, then losing concentration and playing an egregiously horrible blunder. You can improve that a lot with a week or two of effort.
>>536148064Calm down fabi
>>536150860This is after two weeks of effort, I must have been even worse before. But thank you. Perhaps just going back on ADHD meds is the best option since I keep losing track of myself
>>536148613Play Nc3 against that to make him lose tempo, at this level most people would go for the check and you'll laugh at them by developing and they will crumble easily. You just gave away d4, some may say " LE DEVELOPMENT XDD" but the idea is to bring forces and fuck their development, watch Paul Morphy's games, the guy was a genius: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1336329>alsoNigger you don't know how to mate with queen, rook, or rook and queen. Learn some patterns, do this : https://lichess.org/practice do every lesson, DO NOT CHEAT, THINK MOTHERFUCKER, THINK. >read pic related and do 1001 chess tactics for beginners by Roberto Messa
>>536160164I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for in this Morphy game. Also ya I don't know many mate patterns but I haven't had that much trouble with this yet, the game is won or lost long before that
>lichess>report someone for cheating>less than a minute later, get a message saying someone I reported was banned, and get back ten rating points.Sometimes, the lichess mods are okay.
>>536149576>Hanging pawns>Missing rb8 winning a knightTbh I expected 600 to be much much worse though? Idk if I could beat you down a queen
>>536164914>immediately closes his accountJust BTFO all over the place.
I hate this fukcing game. I only want to be good at it because it makes me feel smart but it's retarded to waste this much fucking time on it when I don't have a job or real life. Actually learning it isn't fun, trying hard isn't fun, only the part where I feel smart
>>536175157let the hate flow through you
I fucking HATE endgames.
nodirbek's getting rekt in america
>>536187920Its time.

El Bumpo returns!
>>536073276Threads are dying now after 100 posts? Even when a loser is sitting around to necrobump it every few hours? On a slow board? DIRE.

>>536250831can lichess provide me love and support?
>>536240554El Bumpo will save everyone
>>536247118pause the music Chad, we gotta interview this nerd now. oh, and take a photo for us, they paid extra for selfies and "community engagement" *rolls eyes*. yeah, we'll see you back at the hotel room haha
>>536262707gukesh is 5'7" and the botez sisters are still not much taller than him in those giant heels. are they midgets?
>>536269929Most women are around 5’5 to 5’7 and goblinas are gonna skew shorter
I miss slurp posting
>>536275679Are Goblinas good at chess?
>>536289047No, they are not
>>536278210he's waiting for nodirbek
Did anyone ever play this? Apparently, back in the 90s, they were doing so many MK games they started adding gimmicks like chess and a racing game to increase sales.
draws should be replayed until there's a winner
>>536306918
Love this sexy checkmate(found in 2.7 seconds from mate in 5 in bullet obviously, slowbies cope)
>>536327169That rook in front of knight mate pattern is pretty common, good to know (and always aesthetically pleasing)
Checkers > Chess
White to play and win. This one I couldn't solve at all, so I'm wondering if any of you poozlers will get it. Don't cheat with an engine please.
>>536340758Rxf5 exf5 Qxh6! gxh6 Nf6+ Kh8 Rg8#
>>536342234Good, you got half of it. What about kxh6?
>>536343917(nta)1.Rxf5 exf5 2.Qxh6 Kxh6 3. Rh1+ Kg6 4.Bh5+ Kh7 5. Bxf7+
>>536340758nta, i thinkrxf5 exf5 qxh6 (gxh6 nf6+ king back mate) kxh6 rh1+ kg6 kf4! threatens bh5+ kh7 bf7# (discovered check with the rook)though i only found these lines so fast because you basically said that checkmating was correct
>>536346385you need to see that kf4 covers f5 in stead of the knight getting taken by the pawn and that the bishop's threat can't be stopped with the tempo, though, bh5 can't be played on move 4
>>536346709lmao true... I pulled off a larpov, oops!
>>536306918i want Diablo gimmick chess made by blizzard or Sonic Chess made by sega with cheesey garbage lines when you move them.
>play pajeet>they afk 30 seconds to turn on enginefucking street shitters
>>536365328>play pajeetThat’s where you went wrong. Just abort
>>536366032its okay they started making retard moves when they only had like 5 seconds left thankfully
Does anyone else think chess.com artificially labels normal moves as "brilliant" to get players more invested?
>>536377650Nice meme zoomer. You stupid kids don’t have the balls to play OTB. I remember playing blitz games in the pub. Jazz was playing and everyone was smoking cigars. Zoomers these days just don’t have what it takes. I’ve had enough of this general, I’m gonna go put on a skin tight onesie and ride my bicycle around town. Later nerds
>>536377086they definitely do thisthey also pretend your game has some brilliancies in it even though it doesnt to get you to buy premium for more game reviews
Could you win?
>>536386172ya white's bishops are literally free
I'm 2150 liblitz so about 2000 FIDE classical id say
>>536346613>>536346709You got it!! It's such a beauty of a mate, right?
>>536386172What's the evaluation here
I thought chess was /tg/?
>>536400387you thought wrong
Materialwinnercuckbros.........
>>536378420sounds like big boy needs a nappy
>>536401175saaaaar you cannot redeem winning sar I am having extra pieces
We are reaching levels of deadness never thought possible. Necrobumps of a magnitude never seen before.
>>536409350ur gay
>>536378420>You stupid kids don't have the gall to inhale carcinogenic fumes for hours on end while playing balding geezers with children your age?>HehOrganized OTB chess is a thinly veiled pederastic activity, always has been.
I might be able to help out in the Liga tomorrow
>>536411435thank you seriouschad, I knew you would save us when we needed it most
>>536411167Carcinogenic, but the nicotine is a nootropic which would lead to better chessIt makes me a little sad that I'll never have the experience of drinking 3 cups of coffee and smoking while playing 1+0 games at a 2600 levelMaybe I'll try those Zyn things someday though
>>536400004+2 for white
I hate the London.I HATE it.
>>536425008just play nf6 c5 they dont know how to handle it
>>536425008look up the most obscure gambits against it and play them every time
>>536425209Interesting, time to book up.
>>536425483I think the spielmann indian or something is the name for it but I might be confusing that with something else
>>536425483also when they push d5 and you go b5 you can sit back in your chair and laugh maniacally as they freeze up and go into a think
fucking gachafags need to chill Im sick of necrobumping this thread
Poasting Londonsystem-chan to fight back against the gachafriends
whenever i look up /chess/ on the catalog i see like 4 /zzz/ threads and am overwhelmed by a mighty urge to download and beat off to tens of pictures of chinkshit girls
How often are there chess threads on /v/?
>>536449370We have them here instead
Am I not understanding this correctly? The engine says to go to e7 (which gives +2.3 for white), yet going to f6 would give +0.6 for white. Why isn't it saying to go to f6?
>>536453856Maybe the cached cloud analysis is from an older version of stockfish, idk. Could be a glitch. I ran the local analysis up to depth 40 and it prefers Kf6 as +0.4
>>536439428
professional advice for my correspondence player friends: During the opening phase, try to figure out your opponents sleep schedule. Use their flag to get a rough guess, but pay attention to when they have a large gap between moves, basically when they go to bed. The trick is to send your move while they sleep, so that when they wake up in the morning they are more likely to play their move. Morning brain is significantly weaker than evening brain, you will notice a difference if you can make this happen.

>>536469239better tip for correspondence players: play a real TC instead of wasting your time on that garbage
Black to play
professional advice for my correspondence player friends: During the opening phase, try to figure out your opponents sleep schedule. Use their flag to get a rough guess, but pay attention to when they have a large gap between moves, basically when they go to bed. The trick is to find out where they live and kill them while they sleep, so that they can't wake up in the morning to play their move. you will notice a difference if you can make this happen.
>>536441067What's the deal with feet, I wonder. Not just the occasional thread image, but nearly every single one.
>>536472110>correspondenceactual correspondence or li/.com correspondence? the former is just engine vs. engine at this point.
LMAOO lordbentham is online playing blitz, and yes... motherfucking is on and off every time, see it by yourself right now
>>536484291What does that mean, btw? I've played against people who had all green bars, but their connection kept dropping in and out.
>>536484907you're talking about jew.com but there on lichess if that dot is off it means that you changed tabs and you are not on the lichess page. This guy does that constantly in fucking blitz , unfortunately I couldn't record it but it was fucking obvious that this guy cheats (like we didn't know that already kek) but I imagine this is how he plays rapid as well
>>536470923i think nd3 g3 nxb2 and whichever piece goes to take the knight back you threaten black's knight with a pin by the queen and three pieces (rook bishop and queen) against two, though i don't feel like typing out the lines...
nvm nd3 nf3 nxg2 qxd6 bxd6 rfb1 wins the piece back
>>5364709231....nf3+ 2. Nxf3 resign.
>>536484291>off the tab on opponent's timemight be browsing 4chan
>>536489857>heh heh, let's see if my stalker is accusing me of cheating
>>536073303Whoa BASED? lucy is the best characfter?
>>536474517i think it's a running meme that the 3d models in the game have good-looking feet
>insists on saying "captures" every single time instead of "takes"what's the deal with people who do this
>>536497063what about people who say "eats"
>>536501209I like to eat the horsies
>>536503025you must be one real hungry fella to do that
it appears some newfags are triggered by correspondence chess. Newfrens, please understand that this is a correspondence friendly general. It is, unequivocally, the white mans time control. Cheaters do not occur anywhere near as frequently as you would think, even on .com. Brownoids tend to flock towards blitz/bullet and the more uncivillized time controls, as it were. The white man finds refuge in the slow pace and relaxing environment of a correspondence analysis board. This is something incomprehensible to the brownoid and the brownoid adjacents such as slavs and italians.
>>536503025
>>536505787>Cheaters do not occur anywhere near as frequently as you would think>let me open my opening full book>let me see this tablebase hereYou don't think in those games, you just pretend to think, a game must be here and now, not 3 weeks or 1 year "thinking" about a move
>>536488632or you just mate in 2
>>536506468Thankfully its not mutually exclusive with other time controls, you can play a few games of correspondence while also playing live chess regularly. I dont know how long you have to make a move in ICCF but for lichess/.com 24 hours or 36 hours are the most popular time controls. One thing lichess doesnt have that I wish they did was correspondence tournaments the way that .com does. Those are also either 24/36 hours and you get put into a bracket with 7 other players and if you win your bracket you advance to the next round, its pretty fun. So in that circumstance youre not thinking for one year per move, you have to make 1 move a day in 7 different games
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>536506468ah but we redefined those as not cheating for this particular TC thus i have won the argument
>>536175157>hateGot me thinking, and I realized I don't hate chess, I just hate my opponents. It's probably why I don't play against chess engines; I'm indifferent toward them, so I have no hate to drive me to play against them.
>>536470923are the minor pieces in the white position just lose enough to allow you to keep the knight after nxc4 nf3 qxd1 rfxd1 re8 re1 bg4 (bc2 bxf3 gxf3 be5) (nh4 rd8->rd2)
Most difficult 2600 rated chess.cum puzzle.Yes, it's M1
>>536509902Scuttlebutt says hardware failure, and it may be hours before it comes back up. Probably no ligma today.
>bluesky>mastodonwtf is this crap
>>536514395Thibaut isn't about to aid and abet Martian Hyperfascism by offering status updates on X
>>536514395You damn zoomers and your social media sites civil war, nothing like OTB games in Philadelphia which the cheating weavers (or cheavers) know nothing about.
>>536514097They identified the problem.
Just had a jeet think for 20 seconds about how to defend a pawn in a bullet game KEK greedy little jeetoids
>>536514694x won that battle months ago. no one cares about the meme lib sites anymore. is this just thibaut doubling-down like he did on the STLCC ban no one else cared about? that was hilarious
where were you when lichess is die?
you get what you pay for
>>536515342x has been losing users ever since musk took over. there are more bots than ever on x too. this is the x experience:>make new account>check feed>porn>gore>more porn>bots seeding political hatred, dividing the west even moreit's a shithole, buddy.
>>536515975i dont really care what x is or isn't (i have none of those problems you describe, but maybe you just dont know how to use it). it is the mainstream site and mastodon and bluesky became irrelevant months ago. a lot of the liberal users mad at musk came slowly creeping back because guess what? there's a lot more engagement there. but im sure thibaut will eventually come crawling back just like he does with every one of his vanity project decisions. probably take another 6-12 months going by the STLCC stuff.
>>536411167Holy shit have you zoomers reached a new level of shut-in cope hahaha >I don’t want to be raped by a pedophile Pretty sure they don’t go after fat 20-somethings… pretty sure they’re attracted to cute white boys. >I don’t want to get cancer from secondhand smoke I am imploring you kids to actually go outside and experience life instead of huffing memes all day. Maybe the Tal pictures have confused you but smoking hasn’t been an issue for decades. They banned it everywhere.
>>536512397literally impossible
So lichess is "temporarily back but might have to be offline soon", is it even worth it to play in the liga under these conditions?
Just watched Christine (1983) and the word shitter was used more often than here. Kinda forrgot it has other meanings.
>>536517626just got back from the shitter, what did i miss?
damn im so good at this game
>>536516924There's just two of us, and we need more.
>>536518346I hardly slept last night so I'm planning to just play a few games and try to avoid relegation
>>536518325are you trying to give your visual cortex cancer with that color scheme or what?
the lichess moderation team has taken action against weavers for cheating over and over again. the results are telling.
>>536520013We were framed by those OTB pederasts from Philadelphia.
>>536520013what happened?
>>536521176Team destroyed, only two active members.

How likely is it that there exists an undiscovered chess genius who's better than Magnus but just stays incognito? Or secret chess societies leagues beyond the public one?
Play the opening like a patzer, the middlegame like a maniac, and the endgame like a buffoon
>>536533515You've been watching my games, I see.
>>536532773There's an extremely likely chance that there's someone more naturally inclined than Magnus to be good at chess out there somewhere, just based on how few people ever try to be good at chess. Zero chance that someone actually made that effort without participating in the scene
Remember: every blunder you make is actually a gambit.
im new to chess whats the difference between the general on tg and the general on here what purpose should i use each for
>>536546245one is classical and one is rapid
>>536546245just forget about the one on /tg/. Youre not going to believe me but the entire general is just one discord tranny samefagging back and forth with himself. This is the real one that everyone uses
>>536546245not much, honestly
>>536546826this
>>536521809My cat died last week, haven't had motivation for chess recently.
I have not won a single game in weeks. I have lost at least 50 games in a row. Thank goodness I only play anonymous casual games.
>>536569736Sorry, Ive been playing a lot in the anon pool recently. Didnt mean to bully you like that, keep your head up

ok nerds last necrobump before I go to bed. Keep this thread alive for me through the night. Thanks.
Here you go king>>536573084
>>536569736This is a really strange claim to make, you'd have to be like 600 elo for this to happenSolve a few tactics or something, come on

Do you think there is any money in teaching people how to cheat to not get caught?I don't know where to offer such services
>>536617067https://www.reddit.com/r/chessindia/
>>536621346reminds me of that anon>Sir i can teach you chess for $60 sir
are there any cute shogi players (female)?you guys only post some old dudes and skinny guysyou think i care? i MIGHT consider learning shogi if there are cute girl involved (only might)
>>536617067I think that's probably too easy and also unrewarding+pointless for anyone to pay to learn it
>>536624163yes, but they keep them away from stinky barbarians like us. Karolina often reported on them, check her Shogi Harbour channel from when she was still an active pro.The best ones are animated anyway, cf. Ryuuou no Oshigoto! and Karolina's anime ad.
>>536630931I'm not a lookist but those are some sad standards bro
I really need to stop playing online blitz. It pisses me off way too much. All it takes is one bad, unprincipled patzer move from my opponent in the opening for me to immediately take it as an insult and lose my cool. Which then leads to me playing even worse, of course. Then i lose to some total retard that i should have crushed easily if i just played calmly and soundly and get even angrier. I hit "new game" and the cycle starts all over again.I wish there was an option to hide everything below ten minutes on the lichess main page. Every time i play fast chess, i hate it, yet i just can't stop playing.

Anyone got this for free? I want to see the blueprint.https://chessvibescourses.thinkific.com/courses/chess-skills-teir-listI can't find it on pirated sources.
>>536647278an anon posted a script to do just that, look it up
>>536647278this but I'm a bullet monkey. it's less than ironically ogre
I can't understand blitz and bullet monkeys. I have fun from calcooolating. Just today I calculated a few paths and saw that I have a winning in-betweener on like move 4 and I felt like a top tier grandmaster, i still feel like a pro.I never have fun from blitz. I want to calculate everything.
>>536651101blitz and bullet have all the fun parts of calculation (finding a cool idea) without the boring parts (seeing if it actually works before you play it)
>quit chess>uncle builds me a sick chess table a week laterSomeone have belt I gotta find a vein. Sorry to all the tiny glass chess set fans but its finally getting retired.
>>536648675I'd have to agree with this post. Nazi is a qt and super strong
>>536658025it looks sickpieces also look great

>>536659906
>>536659906Learning the endgame first is the right way to go. Recommended by Capablanca himself and books like Amateur to IM, Chess (Maizelis), etc.
>>536659906That's pretty respectable.Desu I don't think I've ever heard of a player around your strength studying Dvoretsky and having good results, but I think that's because most club players just lack the patience necessary to seriously study endgames.My endgames and openings are both pretty weak, but I'm strongly considering gitting gud at endgames and studying some Dvoretsky rather than resorting to the desperate measure of actually learning opening theory
>>536658985Just need to drill and add lead shot to base and recork. They're slightly too large to fit 4 pawns per square but he's not a player and just bought the pieces so it's all good.

http://live.shogi.or.jp/oui/kifu/66/oui202508260101.htmlhttps://abema.tv/now-on-air/shogiThe fifth game of the 66th Oi title match is being played, between Takuya Nagase (sente) and Sota Fujii (the Oi title holder). The time control is 8 hours per player, and the match is a best of 7 (Fujii leads 3-1).The opening this game was bishop exchange, with Fujii playing a right-side king setup instead of one of the mainlines.
>>536706970>There is no place for racism in chess or our society in general.Why does White go first then? Checkm8
>>536716991We're about to change thathttps://youtu.be/VPFI3-W8Fqo

>>536730460it beginsfide was supposed to crack down on it and women players were also aupposed to be based about so we'll see how it goes
>>536730460If I were a woman, I would be one of the strongest players in my country. I can only imagine free money from national women section tournaments.It's definitely unfair.also, even if a woman won,>role model to young female playerswhat bullshit. Role model to female players would play in the open division and win by BTFOing men.
>>536730460lmao
>>536730460>>536730902womens titles are a joke anyway, this could be a good thing maybe they'll abolish it and the foids will have to actually learn how to play chess instead of being given money for nothing
>>536730460Some gay player like Baduur Jobava or Maxime now has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and become women world champion lol.On the other hand, this whole trans movement sprung up from the feminist movement, I say let the women deal with the consequences of their actions.
What stops you from becoming a tranny, moving to a shitty country and becoming #1 top female player?I'm looking through the FIDE ratings and there are multiple countries where I would be the best.
>>536734105Being a mediocre man is better than being a woman

Can someone recommend me an easy to learn, non-retarded opening for white that will teach me stuff? i am a shitter with no white opening, I tried to get into the ruy lopez but it has like 919412890291831230189u1095 various lines and the only courses I find recite me the lines instead of telling me wtf is this shit even about.Can be for both e4 and d4 (or whatever).
>>536780738There are no openings at the gigashitter level because your opponents won't play theory. Put pawns in centre, knights out, bishops out, castle, rooks connected
>>536781470yeah but if I grow while trying to play this opening, my knowledge about this opening will grow with me. just want something with no big theory so i can understand the plans and use them universally
>>536781589Everything has a lot of theory that you don't need to know.E4 repertoire would beRuy Lopez/italian, open Sicilian, rubinstein French, exchange caroBut you only need to know the first 6 or 7 moves and the basic plans aka weak opponent pawns, your pawns breaks, and know some of the basic traps like why the opponent can't take the e pawn at times in the ruy etc
>>536781589Can't go wrong with the Scotch Gambit.

>>536789859Yes.>at your levelThat's the point I was making. You will stay at your level if you play that bullshit, you will never get better.
>>536789947If the shitty gambits work, then you play them until they don't work anymore. And you get to have fun doing it. You have nothing to lose.
>>536790256I absolutely skullfuck englund shitters every time without fail, i encourage you and all your indonesian buddies to keep playing it.The only good englund line is the queen sac but every englund shitter is too one trick pony to try it except for some aussie or canadian chads it seems

Hm… huh
>>536709142Nagase won in 91 moves. The next game will be played 9/9-10.notably, this is the first time Fujii has lost two consecutive games in a best of seven title match.
>>536849575How's Nodirbek doing now? I liked that nigga back in the day but I haven't followed pro chess for some time.
what chess books do you own, and which do you recommend?
>>536864104I only own Robert Hübner's 'Twenty-Five Annotated Games', and it's the only one I recommend.
i'm so fucking bad at this gamei had an advantage, didn't see an obvious easy to spot tactic, like low level puzzle, and lost the game with shitty accuracy due to hanging a pawn in the endgamei'm so fucking bad
>>536795018lol. He probably coaches in countries that don't care about him trying to fuck a 17yo and some old hag. Latam, Europe, Asia, choose your pick. And btw, was he even charged with anything by the police?
>>536867583Yeah, I'm sure he sits in some Thailand, coaches for a living and has one or two cute chess girls willing to fuck him for free coaching.
>play a great 95% accuracy game over 37 moves >no mistakes, every tactic capitalized, great positional chess, peak >look up your opponent's account after the game >"YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED BY THIS MEMBER" Lmao, dude reported me for sure.
>>536875709Even better if they're several hundred points higher rated than you.
>>536864985very cool
Anish getting some competition
>>536865542You have to be ok with being bad otherwise the journey towards getting better will just be painful and not fun.
>>536900074I am not okay with being bad. I want to be better at this shitty game.
>>536900232Sounds like you need to take a week away from chess.
>>536900232Drill puzzles for 30 minutes (the correct way, no blind guesses), then take a small break and go play some games. You will notice an immediate boost in performance. This will give you motivation to continue improving.
>>536899862le SLURPEE BAAAAANDE+2 doe so Maxime ros are winning even when they aren't

>>537015469I have over 20k blitz games on lichess and am 1900 liblitz. There's been maybe 10 times in 20k games where I felt like I was playing a cheater. I'm 1700 chesscum blitz with around 10k games. Probably around 100-200 of those have been against cheaters.I think the whole cheating problem is overblown on both sites. I just shrug and move on. Maybe it's different for different rating ranges.
anyone got any advice for managing nerves during chess games? it was never a problem for me but as i'm getting stronger i've been getting more and more nervous when i play. i'll completely ruin a winning position or endgame because as soon as i know im winning i feel this wave of anxiety come over me.
>>537016253You're better.Think that you're better. Always think your opponent is a noob and you will completely rape him. You know everything better, the opening, the strategy, the endgames. You're super underrated.You'll start winning. You being nervous comes from believing your opponent is strong and can still beat you, and that fucks up your cognitive rationale. There was an anon yesterday who talked about Nodirbek looking at his opponent as if he wanted to kill him.>>536849575That's how you need to approach the game.
>>537016662that's extremely helpful actually thanks.i agree with you, that's where my anxiety is coming from
>>537016253this advice will be less useful if your level is too high, but to build confidence converting winning positions i think you should - be able to convert basic endgames in your sleep (k+q v k you should be able to premove the win, k+r v k you should be able to win with < 5 s on your clock)- understand basic plans for converting winning positions so you don't have to come up with with original plans every time. usually this means creating a passed pawn, stopping your opponent from promoting their pawns, and promoting your pawn- give up material to simplify the position to one you can convert in your sleep- know how to identify your opponent's potential counterplay and stop it before proceeding with you plan. in some positions the opponent even if they are losing can make things tricky by giving up material to get a passed pawn that is hard to stopone thing I noticed from watching gm games is that they really take their time going in for the kill. their goal is to maintain control first, and win later. they'll make very subtle moves to stiffle all counter play before proceeding with their winning plan
>>537016145>There's been maybe 10 times in 20k games where I felt like I was playing a cheaterYeah this is the typical game knowledge of the litard, stopped reading
>>537014464>The people who pay for chess.com are sub-1500 shitters who do it because they are idiots who need a computer to print out pretty exclaimation points so they can feel better about themselves.indeed. the website literally redefined what a brillinacy is specifically for this purposeOMG so brilliant of u!! good girl!!!

>>537018915i could buy your whole family and enslave you pussy
Sometimes I wonder if it's Danny Rensch himself shilling chesscum in these threads.
>>537018980Just calm down. You're scaring me
>>537014464>>537018529Why not both?I do have a diamond membership on chesscom, but I pay like one dollar a month for it. I use it for endgame trainings, drills, free lessons, courses, it has a vast library of useful stuff.I also use chess tempo and lichess for tactics, and listudy for blind tactics (a titled guy recommended it to me) to train visualization with calculation. For serious analysis I use EnCroissant with stockfish loaded in, it's the best analysis tool.I wouldn't pay the full price for the chesscom premium, it's too expensive. I agree it's not worth it. But if you can get it for a buck or two, it's more than worth it for the stuff it gives you if you want to learn.
>>537019689Nothing against chess.com lessons. But if I'm going devote time to studying chess, I'd rather read a book. Just a preference.I'm pretty lazy these days and mostly just play. Lichess is a better playing and analysis experience. In just the opening explorer: infinite depth, more master games, you can see how other lichess players played and how you played previously -- really useful once you have a large collection of your own games. The default analysis board interface is better, more lines, navigating between lines, the built in engine is stronger by default, etc.
>>537020456You guys conspiratard about chess.com shills but you can't tell me this isn't literally an ad. I'm even hearing it in Billy Mays' voice
>>537021340I'm just stating my experience. What did I say that is not true though?
>>537020456Chesscom analysis sucks, I prefer lichess to chesscom, agreed. And it's retarded it's not free. Stockfish is literally free. They make you pay to use an open source tool lmao.I use chesscom analysis for fast two minutes analyses after each game (can turn on the infinite depth with stockfish 17.1 in the options) because I play there, and encroissant for serious analysis of longer rapids/classicals with connection to databases, my own games etc. It gives you great game reports and tools.Each website is better in some ways, worse in other ways. Puzzles on chesscom, for example, can be fucking stupid and weird. Recently I did a puzzle rush there and at like ~2700 I got a simple M1. It's the WORST websites for puzzles by far.Endgame trainings, drills (from-position training), lessons, courses, studies: chess.comPuzzles, puzzles by theme, puzzle streaks etc: lichess, listudy, chesstempoCoaches: lichess (chesscom has the coaches category too, but lichess makes them give you a price and write about methodology, chesscom has just profiles for some reason lol)Analysis online: lichessAnalysis in general: encroissant with stockfish 17.1 is the bestChesscom can be a great resource to learn if you can grab the diamond for a dollar. Don't buy the full price.
>>537021340Lichess isn't a product that you have to pay for tho.
>>537022423You think they aren't making money off all the redditors that donate? Have you noticed any changes to the site at all? lol

>>537044930is it zeroes?
>>537045143>>537045581Surprisingly (to me) it's +6.8, and the computer likes it more and more for white the longer it calculates, goes up to +99 at depth 43

>>537054474I was imagining it more as a situation where i went up a rook many moves earlier before we got into that position. If we literally just consider the pic then yeah, at that point it's pretty much anybody's game in practical play.

I just had a bizarre glitch or something on lichess where my opponent made a move, and then I got disconnected from the site.After disconnecting/reconnecting my wifi and refreshing the page, the opponent's move was undone and it was his move again.I was sure that after his clock ran down lichess would tell me I was disconnected somehow and actually lost, but no, the opponent just let his time run down to 1 second, played one more move, and flagged.So my guess is it was a server glitch or synchronization failure with the database, idk, and my opponent's move was simply consumed by Thibaut's technical edifice. And he didn't realize until too late. Very weird.
>>537073480Update, looks like a slightly similar glitch happened to other players right around the same time.https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/game-gets-abruptly-aborted-by-serverSome database issue I guess
What time control is most active for 960/freestyle? 10 minutes? Any faster would probably be utter chaos I imagine.
>>537048997I prefer to wait until once second is left before delivering checkmate.

Wonderful sequence by Mishra to win the game, sacrificing two pawns for an overwhelming initiative. He must had already seen Qb1 when he played b6!! 8 moves earlier.https://lichess.org/broadcast/fujairah-global-2025--superstars/round-6/CXOrFnqt/SJv22CKI#38
>>537154236If they get bored they can leave like me
>>537127437Hard to say why, but I kinda like playing on it. It has flair.
>>537162727>Do not drink alcohol more than once a weekwhy? You know how many masters are alcoholics?I drink every day and I got very decent.
>>537166746Because then you'll spend way too much time recovering from hangovers, and during such periods, your brain will not be functioning at 100% power (similarly to when you're drunk, but to a lesser extent). It is especially bad if you're trying to learn something or memorize things, in my experience. In the case of masters who are alkies, one can assume they got good before they started drinking (that is, as kids).>i drink every day and i got very decentIf it's very light drinking then it's not that big of an issue, but your brain still isn't running "in a fully optimized state" so to speak. Try training chess for 10 days without any alcohol, as an experiment. I can almost guarantee you will play way better than you can right now.
>>537164246I like the board configurations, anticheat is also much better, you can set up profile pictures and do multi-premoves.Chesscom offers better game experience. And sure, they're jews, but you can analyze stuff in lichess or offline with stockfish on your pc anyway. One anon recommended encroissant yesterday, i use it too for serious long rapids. I analyze shit copying moves OTB, then check everything there

I doubt he'd ever win it but he's the perfect jeet killer and Nepopotamus slayer to take out all the undesirables. But honestly it'd just be so much more fun to post about the Candidates with him in it.

>>537171643through god all things are possible
>>537084041How can you complain about people not resigning when you literally have the ability to end the game immediately through checkmate? All they are waiting for is you to see an obvious m1, or to stop stalling.
Resigning in blitz/bullet for losers. If you watch titled tuesday games, even GMs don't resign in lost positions.
>>537177747the brownoid and kike GMs dont resign? yes, youre right
>>537171643Most based guy in chess, racist poo killer christian who hates arabs.
>>537177853Well, I mean the white man resigned Europe and look what is happened there.
Resigning to a sub-2000 player is dumb. These people hang mate in winning positions.
>>537178975there's a middle ground between resigning when you're at a disadvantage but still have something to fight for and never resigningif you keep playing in totally completely lost positions where the only thing you have to hope for is a stalemate on the off chance your casual online opponent screws up royally, you are just being autistic - it's a waste of both players' time all to give you a 1/100 chance at an extra 4 elo points or whatever the difference would be
Game is probably a draw under standard chess rules, but if white promotes to a king the position is winningWhy shouldn't this be allowed?
>>537185051In this position sure, white is forced to give up his original king and the "extra" promoted king has enough pieces to win the game (if i understood correctly), but in practical play this would just lead to unending games everywhere due to people having "extra lives". One king is hard enough to checkmate, now imagine having two on the board for either player. The amount of draws by 50-move rule would skyrocket, pretty much no one would ever win a game of chess past move 40 again
>>537185675I was imagining that any supernumerary kings could be captured, so in practice promotion to a king would almost always be a mistake. Only in extremely rare situations would the rule change even be relevant. But it would lead to some absolutely kino promotion tactics, I'm sure of it.>this would lead to unending games everywhere, the amount of draws would skyrocketI don't think so. A queen could mate two kings easily, because you're always going to be able to fork them somehow and win one of the kings.Checkmating with rook vs. two kings would be more interesting, but in practical play, it would always be better to have promoted to a queen instead.
I have lost 7 games in a row at the 700 level and I want to shoot myself in the head. Every single game has been a brutal ass fucking where I make incredibly obvious blunders that a fuckign 4 year old child shouldn't make. I have been doing nothing but watching chess videos and looking over my games for 2 days and then I come back and play like this. I am subhuman, I am a disgusting piece of shit who is unworthy of life. I am a 32 year old fucking virgin who has such bad anxiety he can't leave the house and I STILL DONT EVEN HAVE THE DECENY TO BE GOOD AT MY HOBBY HOLY SHIT I NEED TO DIE SO FUCKING BAD.
>>537189906I seriously have nothing else going for me in my life other than I memorized shit well on test in grade school as a kid and I let that fucking nonsense convince me I was some super genius who was going to take over the world. How fucking pathetic. How disgusting. I am not smart. I am not even average, I can memorize well and in every other conceivable way I am an actual subhuman retard.
>>537189057oh yeah, I guess this one is a draw for sure because the kings can actually defend one another and the attacking king can never assist. If the kings are separated and can be skewered then there are occasionally wins for white, but it tends to be a draw even if the kings can be kept separate, afaict.With queen vs. two kings, the same defending principle applies. If the kings can rush toward each other fast enough, the queen alone would be helpless. However, I suspect most QvKK endings are winning since there are going to be forks everywhere. Just have to keep the kings from defending one another
>>537189057Mating two kings with a rook would be impossible. The normal KR v. K checkmate involves a zugzwang, which is made totally null by the addition of a second piece to move. Unless Black makes a mistake by allowing his kings to be aligned in a straight line (making a fork possible), this game will simply never end.Queen vs. two kings can go either way tho. Would probably be interesting if someone made this in code to see what would happen.>>537189906Here's a secret tip i've given someone i know who was about your rating: go on your settings and turn off the "show legal moves" checkbox. The little dots that appear when you click on a piece showing where you can move. Get rid of them and rely only on your own brain to know where things can go, as if it was an OTB game. Over time this will remedy your board vision problems.>I am a 32 year old fucking virgin who has such bad anxiety he can't leave the housePay a hooker (so you can no longer call yourself a virgin) + get into an exercise routine (i recommend running). These will absolutely nuke your confidence problems.
>>537189906whats your gym routine and diet like?
Imagine. I am literally one of those guys in a chess video who plays so inconceivably bad that the commentator literally is at a loss for words at the retarded shit he's witnessing. I am not thinking with any part of my brain, I destroyed that part with weed a long time ago. >>537191658My problem is more about not looking for threats. Guess that is a board vision problem though, Underestimating the ability of my opponents to see checkmates more than 1 moves ahead is also a problem. And no I'm not paying hooker, I that doesn't count.>>537191712I bike sometimes, other than that it's all dogshit.
>>537192065>it's all dogshit.found the problem. Fix that first and worry about chess later
>>537192645You are correct. More veggies and running is always good. I just won 2 games because both opponents blundered queens early so maybe there is hope.
>>537189906Actually same but much higher rated than you. I just lost a bunch of games in a row due to retarded blunders. One game I lost a piece to a pawn fork because I forgot these faggots can move, and then I autistically defended a lost position for 30 next moves for ~15 minutes just to get mated.
>>537191658I believe it's an easy win with Queen vs. two kings in almost all scenarios. As long as the queen can separate the two kings, then white can bring in the king and checkmate/capture one of the kings without relying on zugzwang.
>>537177747anyone tried learning some tricks from leela piece odds to play for a win even when down a piece?
>>537191658>Mating two kings with a rook would be impossible. The normal KR v. K checkmate involves a zugzwangThis seems valid for many cases, but in pic related I've shown some themes that can arise when one of the kings is confined to the back rank, which would be fairly typical and easy to achieve in many endgames.
>play until the middle game>get draw request>deny it>they concede>for 3 games in a row
>>537213932Winning ideas with the white king far away (white to move in both diagrams)In #2, the black king tries to get to the sixth rank to avoid being checked for a mating tempo, but when black plays kb5 after 4.kf6 kb5, white can play rg7+, forcing the black king into the corner.kg6 kc6, and white now wins with re7
>>537216813that was probably me. If it gets boring I dont wanna play
>>537189906it's so over>>537193181we're so fucking backAnons gave you good advice on the non-chess stuff, I'd only add that fixing your sleep issues, if you have any, is very important. Now, onto the chess part: you're at a rating where not hanging pieces for free and consistently seeing basic tactics will guarantee improvement so there's hope for you yet. You need to actively work on chess to get better, passive learning by watching videos and lamenting over all your ??s will not cut it. First, finish this: lichess.org/practice (you can skip some of the harder mates). Then, you need to do a ton of low level puzzles so that basic tactical patterns burn into your brain. Doing anon puzzles on lichess is perfect for this. If you're really commited, working through an introductory book will certainly improve your chess. I'd recommend one of the Yasser books but if you're feeling hardcore you can go with the Soviet Chess Primer.One last piece of advice: play longer time controls to have the time to think about all your moves and better see the threats that your opponents make. This will also make the post game analyses much more useful.In short, practice+puzzles (+book) = guaranteed improvement. Good luck, anon.

I started losing everything. I blunder pieces in one move, hang them for free like a 400 shitter. I'm 1600 and I play like a complete beginner. I just had 4 losses in a row in a few moves. Wtf is wrong with me? I am quite fucking pissed.
>>537264571Same thing's happening to me I legitimately feel retarded. My puzzle rating is in freefall from 1500 to 1200 and that's on lichess where they aren't even timed. My chesscom puzzles peaked at 1600 around a year ago, I think if I did them now I'd tank it down to 800.I'm on a throwaway troll/derank account and legitimately just had to resign against a 150 rated Indian because my opening/early midgame was so bad it allowed him to get his queen on my backline within ten moves.
engine-like destructionhttps://lichess.org/yeRUrPRM/white
Perfect example of why this game is retarded. If you can completely outplay someone and end up lost as a result, your game is too flawed to be taken seriously.https://lichess.org/QUufJwTJ/whiteThis guy was the much worse player and got outplayed the whole time. Then he accidentallies into the position with Qh3 and the game is over. Ok dude. For sure.And even before that when I should be massively winning the engine is claiming it's not even +1. He's blundering a fork on his rooks, blundering letting my Queen penetrate to his king, blunders all over the board, but the deep analysis is that he's fine. Busted game. Waste of time. No skill game.
>>537273470You played a wild game with little regard for your king's safety. That's a skill issue. You can't ignore your opponent's threats and attacking ideas>He's blundering a fork on his rooksChess isn't all about material. You don't automatically win because you saw a tactic just like in your puzzles.>Rook fork! I go up 2 points of material, that means I win

>>537275014>script of the video written by an LLMlmaoBy the way, no, cheating is VERY possible if you're not a retard from i*dia.I have a list of chess.com accounts used for cheating, picture related.I was testing their cheating algorithm and have created the best way to cheat undetected. One account from here is my main cheating account with rating I won't name, but enough to play titled players consistently in blitz and rapid.Let me teach you HOW TO CHEAT ON CHESS.CUM.Needed:>PC, mouse for playing>phone with stockfish>multitasking skills>play normally>while waiting for your move, move your mouse around just a bit, draw an arrow from time to time>while calculating, draw arrows around>when difficult position comes, wait and calculate with arrows>all the time copy the moves to the stockfish on your phone>now see the moves on the phone stockfish and start calculating them on your pc>hmmm.. this won't work... (3rd engine line)... hmm... nice... then this and this... oh no, but this... oh but i have this... ----- you draw arrow all the time>finally get to the 1st line and just play it after calculating with arrows>all the time, always, move your mouse just a bit. when you copy moves to stockfish, have the phone placed near your mouse so you can do it while moving your mouse>chesscom sees that you always calculate and move your mouse, don't change the tab, it leaves you alone, you're clean, you're always in the pattern, algorithm says you're fineFAQ>why the fuck do you do it?for the lulz and improvementi unironically learned A LOT of chess from cheating. i think it is the best way to improve. i learned so many moves in so many positions, and what to look for, what positional ideas stockfish always has. i became a much more strategical player, cheating is OP for learning.
>>537258730I don't even try figuring out why people play the Caro-Kann.
>>537277385i thought about that being a way to improve but i don't really want to be a cheater...
>>537275313Not a fan of the Ruy Lopez Breyer variation, I see.
>>537278029they are baiting for the advance variation where black is better
>>537278592it's not even that good of a way to improve, OP is just a coping cheat. you can get every benefit and more from simply thoroughly reviewing your games with an engine after the fact, which will force you to actually calculate and build intuition while also picking up on the engine motifs you never would have thought of otherwise
>>537277385idk if it's true, but the idea of chesscom incorporating 'arrow calculation' into their anticheat algorithm is hilarious>This guy must be legit. Sure, he consistently played the top engine move, but he drew so many arrows!
Calculation is stored in the arrows
>>537279680blah blah cope blah blah stupid cheater blah blahNo, it is like real-time analysis but on steroids, because you're playing them during a real game and automatically brains understands why and how, and you will now always remember that idea. During a normal analysis, the brain doesn't send it to your "game" shelf. You can understand something cognitively, what happens during the analysis, but it's not enough for you to spot these things and understand them practically or how to force them physically. Cheating sends them to the right category. That's an actual pedagogical method.>>537278592You could try it out at least. Make a new account on 1600 and try, see for yourself if it helps you. I skyrocketed to 2000 chesscum with ideas and playstyles I learned while cheating.>>537280084Chesscum algorithm sees that as your real calculation. It sees you moving your mouse all the time, trying out variations, understanding why they don't work, treating it like a puzzle. It doesn't flag you as a potential cheater. Indians usually just go for the first line and get spotted easily. Cheating needs a bit more refinement.

>>537280606By the way, just imagine: when you are IN THE MOMENT OF THE GAME, and thanks to stockfish you start understanding the position completely, it clears up, you get that katharsis, you immediately know everything about the position. You can imagine what the guy will do, you can imagine what tricks you can do, what can save you in a few moves, and you try it out without the engine's help because you already know everything. It's something that normal analysis will never give you. You get experience in playing that position and you will never forget what to do. It's overpowered.
>>537278029Why not? I like it because it helps bring my pawns into play and start attacking the center immediately.Secondly I'm at such a low elo that openings are barely even relevant in most of my games. I do this: >>537245027 half the time and still win.
>>537280606It would be funny if someone believed you and got themselves banned thinking they could play perfect engine chess and get away with it by arrow-drawing
>>537282887It may not work on chess.com, but anything would work on lichess. I cheated on lichess for weeks just copying grandmaster strength moves on Chessmaster and never got banned. It was funny how often I ran across people who could beat me too.

Try to be an annoying bitch. It teaches you a lot about defending, funnily.

chess made me racist towards indiansWhen I was a low elo patzer, every single one of them tried retarded tricks, did the wayward queen, and I hated playing them because I knew I will see some retarded tiktok bullshit queen trap. I have no idea why they play like this.
>>537304080I abort and block. Sometimes before I can even block they have a melty and start spamming me with requests to play lol. They know what's up

>>537314291There's an untitled streamer in my country, dude often plays and wins against GMs. Played Magnus, Giri, Hikaru many times. He plays ONLY gambits and the weirdest lines and shit you've ever seen.Dude played titled tuesday once, met up with his titled friend and played on his account, and got like 4.5/5 before getting caught (everything was streamed live because he's a retard, his titled friend got a ban for a year from TT).Any time his games show up on my feed, it reminds me that no one cares what fucking opening you play in online games, as long as you have a plan and tactical vision you'll do fine.

Why is alcohol making me better at chess?Today I sucked all day. I wasn't doing well, I had a lot of brain fog. I lost only because of the simplest mistakes, really, my fault. I was playing like a retard.Now I drank a few drinksand I'm destroy everyone at blitz lmao.
>>537321902chess is a retard game for retards so the more retarded you can become the higher your elo will go
>>537322678I am dancing to classic nightcore, drinking gin and i cannot lose, i went on a winning streak, i remember some anon today saying you shouldnt drink alcool when playing chess but i am co much better when i drink it's so funny
I got back to 1800 by farming wins off a titled pajeetDoes it really count?
>>537331983I did this once to a Brazilian. 5 straight wins and he kept spamming rematches. I told him I could not continue in good conscience and he told me “shut up my dad just died leave me be.” So I gave him one more (which I won… sweep the leg…) and my condolences then dipped.

Will Hikaru get a rating point for this tournament? If so, why not play 84 of these tournaments and break magnussys classical all time rating?
>>537348465self respect?
>>537321902Beer improves intuition but worsens deep analysis. It works well for blitz
>>537348802He's already doing it though?
>>537354151he is doing it to meet a fide activity criteria, it's not about comparison with other players, something that people would be outraged by.
>>537354151Chinkaru is just playing the minimum number of games he needs to qualify for the rating spot, I dont think its that many. He gains less than 1 elo per win. After he gets the minimum games done, he will stop. What the other anon is asking is why does he stop there? Why isn't he playing in local shitter tournaments every single week for years on end to get to 3000+ fide?
>>537171643>won on demand The most cringe saying in chess, some ESL started this gibberish term.The earliest I can trace it back to on the internet is a Russian chess blog from 15 years ago, where the blogger translates Russian chess news into English. I'm sure it existed before this though. So I'm guessing Russian players or journalists started this and spread it in interactions.No other sport or game uses this saying because it doesn't make sense in english, normally it's "must win" or similar.It's just like "but ok"https://youtu.be/2IiJ1IqbmcAIn the comments someone joked that all international chess players learnt English from one person (patient zero).
>*ctrl+f "how do i"*shut the fuck up
>>537365142huh
>>537368973It needs to stop
>>537369627so what should I say instead? he won a must-win game? he won in a must-win situation? I understand now that it doesn't make sense logically but won on demand just sounded more natural to me. it's funny how I never even thought about this expression and just went with it since it's used so often.
>>537369990Why is it even needed to encapsulate so tightly that the player had to win the game in order to achieve something to the fact that the game was won by the player?The niggerification of English has had catastrophic consequences."He won the game, if he hadn't he would have been out of XXX, what a cathartic moment for blablabla."
>>537369990>he won in a must-win situation? I understand now that it doesn't make sense logically but won on demand just sounded more natural to me.That's what they say in other sports, but you are right in that "He won on demand" is smoother and quicker even though it might sound a bit weird to a native English speaker.No, but ok I guess we will have to allow it after all, a unique quirk of the chess world which is entrenched in the chess lexicon.
>>537371565>Why is it even needed to encapsulate so tightly that the player had to win the game in order to achieve something to the fact that the game was won by the player?You're getting a little lost in the sauce there (heh). And the answer to your question is simply that it's way more impressive to win when you have to. English became the lingua franca of the modern world + americans seem to have 0 respect for it so some degree of degradation is to be expected.
>>537371967Couldn't she just have pulled the manual stopping thing and tanked the car behind her bumping into her?
>>537371967I mean, yeah, in generalbut ok
ugh can you two shuT THE FUCK UP
>>537372246Then you could add emphasis to the fact that the specific game being won was really important through punctuation.Ignoring the second part of your post because it's contradictory to the first...
>>537372376There is like 3-4 people posting I think
>>537372376>people have a conversation>can you SHUT THE FUCK UP I can't hear the cricketslol
>>537372270The handbrake? That'd probably make her lose control of the car even more. And I don't think there was a car behind her from what I can see. She just lost control because she was not paying attention and she had 1 hand barely on the steering wheel. All for a dumb TikTok vid.
>>537373421i am studying to get my driver's license but I have never actually driven, why would she be losing control of the car by pulling the handbrake? Isn't that the sort of situation it's for?
>>537373889in the case of normal drivers the handbrake is for parking or for when you don't wanna keep your foot on the break at red lightsdriftGODS use it for something else
>>537373889The handbrake would lock up the rear wheels causing her to skid and slide all over the road. The handbrake is only used when the car is stationary to stop the car from rolling.
>>537365142even looking past that giga autism because this is a chess general after all, "win on demand" makes perfect logical sense as a phrase unlike most anglo sayings but I could care less so feel free to have your cake and eat it too
>win vs this guy because he blunders queen move 8 and resigns>offers a rematch>accept >he does this and resigns againIs this some sort of half assed opening trap he was expecting me to fall for...?
>>537365142>>537369627sir did the needful and redeemed the match
>>537286303the organizer updated their website
chess is retardedNakamura joins local shitty tournaments and each opponent hanging rooks randomly gives him 0.8 elo. If he plays one a day, in September he will be #1 in the world, because FIDE counts them at 2400 elo; they don't count elo differences as higher than 400.
>>537365142I always thought it meant: " win however you wanted" like an easy win or something. Example:>Hikaru is in some shitter tournament>he can win on demand against any player there.Like he can win in the opening, middlegame, endgame... by crazy tactics/positional shit, he can do whatever he wants, and he can still win. So these clowns use it like " he must win" when the person already won?
>>537383351I also understand it like this. You are much better and can win however you want.
>>537383351I interpreted it as to win as the match situation demanded it or you lose the match, aka must-win situation, so it makes a bit of sense.If you interpret win on demand to be as the player demands it, then it doesn't make sense.
>>537382408It is just FIDE being retarded and making a convoluted qualification system that has tons of loopholes.Last cycle Alireza organized a tournament just to gain elo, and Chennai Masters was put together literally days before to help Gukesh and Arjun gain circuit points.
>>537383902The phrase as used in chess is not proper English though.
>>537383351>>537383902it can mean either due to how english works, its ambiguous (but not incorrect english)
>>537385950yes it is, and that wall of autism is completely wrong>the phrase risks ambiguityits the language itself which causes this, it was already ambiguous which is why it is applicable to both situations
>>537382408I wish they'd stop using elo to determine invites and go to a pure qualifier system, as in you need to win zonals/interzonals/candidates etc, rating be damned.It'll never happen, though.
>>537383902>win as the match situation demanded itit's so obviously this that any other interpretation never even crossed my mindhe was demanded to win and did it ergo he won on demand, it makes perfect sense the people complaining about it are autistic
>>537386280we are chess players, we are uneducated autists
>>537385950It literally says in the wall of text the usage implies "the situation demands a win".Even if not proper, does it matter if everyone knows what it means?
https://www.twitch.tv/tarouchessthere are nips who can play chess? wtf
>>537382408>Nakamura joins local shitty tournamentsHe can "win on demand" in every game, even games which are not "must win" situations.
>>537386507He might be an outsider by the looks of it which would explain his obscure hobby. On a different note I'm saddened to see the proud japanese be inflicted with the anglo curse by the name of balding. Mingling with the white devil always has a price.
>>537386507I wonder what they think about Hikaru.
>>537380358why the fuck do they keep doing thisthere's something about the caro-kann that somehow baits low elo players into always sending their queen to h5 and immediately forgetting about it
>>537389450>>537380358I now want to make a 100 elo account and have some fun.
>>537389556how is this fun? do you also enjoy taking candy from 3 year olds?
>>537390012I can play the dumbest shit and win on demand anyway
>>537386280>he was demanded to win This is not proper English, therefore your opinion on the also improper term "win on demand" is moot and invalid."Win on demand" is pure ESL cuckery.
>>537389556>>537389450This must be the fifth time today wtf

>>537423871I watched a few minutes with translated subtitles and he's responding to criticism by other Russian chess personalities on his methods and procedures.
>>537451686I hope we get /zzz/'d again.
>>537443921Native English speaker here. Hikaru is “winning on demand” against these players simply because of the skill gap. He can basically win whenever he wants, on demand. That’s very different from the situation we often see at high level tournaments broadcast on the internet, where top players sometimes end up in genuine “must win” situations to advance, against skill matched opponents. For some reason, the chess media mafia calls this “winning on demand,” which seems to be an ESL mistranslation from Russian (or another language) rather than proper English, which already has long established terms for this, terms used in every other sport to describe the same situation.
