>>538625463How strong do I need to be to play this bundesliga thing and not be annoying? I suck
>>538626348Interest in the bundes has dwindled to basically 0, on sunday no one showed up but we could get the regular weekend tournaments going again instead, everyone is welcome to play in both don't get self conscious about your level.If I'm free this weekend I'll join all 3 and shill them ITT
third for Andrea.> Where are her leaks?
>>538629185>regular weekend tournamentsAll for it.
Mate in 1, gonna spend the rest of my time looking for a better one
>>538646635this is the only form of BM that actually gets to me
>>538649557It’s poohavior, premoving mate is the real mog
bump
Donde estan?
>>538654440I pretty often premove mate, but what is even more satisfying is premoving a refutation to a blunder. Like when I predict that my opponent won't notice a piece being defended. That's even happened with like 2100 rapid players, it's hilarious. The pause while they stare in disbelief at the square where their queen used to be, then the resignation
>>538672082That is truly the best
>>538672082I did this once when I played with a much weaker player. I saw an easy to spot tactic for him where he can take my knight for free, but I take his rook and a pawn afterwards, so I "blundered" and immediately premoved a reply to him taking my knight, knowing he will take it. He took it. Dude typed "wtf".
>>538625463Dogshit OP, needs more horse cock
I have never made a premove online and never will
>>538674759That you Kramnik?
>>538674759I have to respect that. You can even be strong in blitz or bullet without premoves, but you sound like someone who stays away from such degenerate time controls

Gotta admit its pretty fun when .scam drops you 300 points below your peak and then let's you start playing real players down there again
how do i get better at chess
>>538696558like bags of sand
Savage move in time scramble
how do i into checkm8?
>>538629185Only natural after all the inorganic>oh boy we sure doing well >dish sure is insprishing Was totally predictable that after a huge flux of cheating the whole thing would peter out.
Who are our approved chess youtubers?
>>538696558Practice checkmates. I actually got better by doing lots of BnN checkmates. By that alone, i learned so many stuff i couldn't notice while learning openings. It also gets me to relax everytime i'm down on rooks. Sometimes people would sacrifice everything once i'm left with bishop and knight, thinking they can draw it somehow. Little did they know i know how to mate with those 2 alone.
>>538710793Andras Toth is the best educational YouTuber for club level players. You learn a lot just watching him passively.
>>538696558Stop watching slow boring vids. Chess is SPORT in essence as it should be. Treat it as a sport. Change your perspective, and your playstyle should change too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD6O5E28VHs&t=100s

We're not showing up here:https://lichess.org/tournament/I7LR0hrNHas zoombam pulled us out?
Does anyone know any other games like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqAOSdIkoNkI swear i've seen the similar defense "cage" formation before but i can't remember whose game it is
>>538721194That's like 1700 lichess right?you should be more or less in the middle of the pack, this was the last tournament with a decent turnout for example:https://lichess.org/tournament/ulNxbEIp
>>538721717I didn't. Maybe they took us out due to inactivity?
what lvl is an average anon 5 min player on lichess? I can’t win that shit
>>538728194i usually stomp people on there, and I'm both bad at blitz and a shitter normally, so probably like sub 1000
>>538728265damn im 1600 chesscom lmao
>>538728194Noticeably weaker than the 3min pool at least
does anyone here play 10+5 online?if so how bad is the cheating situation?which site would be the lesser evil for it?

>>538747246Pooing in school was always risky. On top of public toilets being disgusting as usual, you always had to worry about someone seeing you and bothering you. The most useful skill public schools teach you is how to be vigilant and not do anything weird to catch the bullies attention.

Petition to ban all jeets from playing formal chess.
>>538770801Granted
What's with puzzles doing things wrong? Here is a puzzle and the engine suggests that the queen ought to go to c2. However, after I did the correct pawn move, the queen went to a2 instead. I see this happen fairly often (the engine suggests a different move than the one the puzzle actually does) and it grinds my gears sometimes. What's the point of training against an engine if it's not going to play the best/engine moves? chess.c*m is the most egregious when it comes to this, but I still see it on lichess every now and then.
>>538775669The engine might show different moves depending on how long you let it run and calculate things for. Not to mention differences between stockfish versions etc. Non-tablebase computer moves, despite being very good, are not mathematically perfect.
>>538776240I guess that makes sense, especially since c*m requires a paid membership to use the non-gimped stockfish.
>>538775669Also, you should turn on the "show multiple lines" option in the engine settings. Having the computer show you only one option is suboptimal for analysis
>>538777772Granted with the footnote that they may not live underwater as jeetfish

Anons... I just trolled the ever living shit out of some guy trying a meme opening on me I don't know how or why this happened all I am saying is never give up. Holy fucking kek.
>>538789802He fucked up at the end, he probs should have pushed the a pawn and gone for a race.
i have a blindspot for pawns defending pieces, not like 3digit "aw damn i exchanged a queen for knight" but like while doing puzzles
What’s her opening repertoire?

Anyone here play a classical game online? Every now and then I see someone in the lobby trying to find someone to play a 30+30 game or longer and I can't really imagine wanting to do that. Someone was just on the lichess lobby with a 40+180(!) and that sounds unreal to me. Anything longer than 15+10 feels like it should be reserved for OTB.
>>538796909well on puzzles you tend to focus more on finding quick checkmates instead of normally adjusting your position

>>538789802Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension/10
>>538801407A couple years ago it used to not take long at all to find 60+0 matches on chesscom. It used to be one of the "extended default" time controls, similar to 10+5. As an absolute beginner before getting into online chess i used to play exclusively clockless games with friends so i liked this time control a lot due to being similar to what i was used to (don't know if it still exists though, the longest i play nowadays is 10+0 like a degenerate.)I remember playing a game of that a day when i was first starting. Good times.
What sites have endgame trainers that let me play out the entire endgame and not just quiz me on a single move? I know I can set up scenarios myself but I'd rather not spend that much time.
>>538812481is it true that shogi is just chess but you can't move backwards?

>>538801407I play games in the lichess Lonewolf league (30+30), so yes.https://www.lichess4545.com/lonewolf/They also have a 45+45 team league, but I don't play in that one because I don't like apologizing after losing a game.
>>538784476Imagine how useless his little clitty is. >>538709882The cheating has been rampant and I think a lot of anons decided to take a stand against it. Already a number of necrobumps ITT.

>>538845910did he really challenge you? I always thought it was a made up story, hard to imagine larpov not being a pussyhow did it actually go down?
>>538845860I quit playing 1....e5 because I was so tired of that shit. Even if I win, my king can't castle and I just feel uncomfortable the entire game.
>>538848852I don't really remember. I think it was something like me doubting his "credentials" and asking if he'd be willing to play some of the stronger guys on the team, he wanted to play me and I told him that I'm a shitter and he should settle it with the big boys. Something like that. Then he became utterly obsessed with me for some reason.
>>538848852Nevermind, found the exchange.https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/121378477/#121394533That's the extent of it, the reason why he's still obsessed with me three years later lol.

wtf ErGODmus won against Levon
Please, anyone?>>538724382
>>538851798His entire "weavers cheat" is him protecting his ego in case he loses. He can always claim "see, weavers cheat once again" and make himself look like a victim.He'd have to play someone first, though.
G*kesh lost 3 in a row and then drew the last seed, not bad
>>538851798I expected him to be the archetypal 40-something club player sitting at 1800 fide with a peak in the high 1900s.
>>538848979You never heard of the polerio defense? Black's not forced to allow the knight sacrifice attack.
>>538852819>drew the last seedFraudkesh is now in a worse position against Divya
>>538801407I played some 30+0 the other day. Even with a provisional 1500 rating it didn't take long to find games and no one aborted surprisingly enough. I played a guy rated 2400 blitz so real players do actually queue.
>>538854493>polerio defenseGreat if I had the chance to set it up.If they even got a whiff that I was trying to defend, they'd play 4. Bxf7+ and then follow with Ng5I started delaying ...Nf6 so my queen could defend the g5 square, but Bxf7+ was going to happen before I got the chance to castle regardless.The whole thing with me playing 1....e5 is they were going to take f7, regardless if it was the fried liver, or the Haxo, or the Göring, or the Scotch gambit, or the fucking Jerome gambit.I just wanted to play the Ruy Lopez for god's sake.
>>538857114>If they even got a whiff that I was trying to defend, they'd play 4. Bxf7+But then that's just an unsound move that throws away a piece for nothing. The main thing White has going for him in the fried liver is that the black king is forced to walk towards the middle after the sacrifice and there's threats everywhere. But if you can just walk away with something like Re8 followed by Kg8, there's nothing to fear at all. You consolidate your position and then eventually just win by going into an endgame up a piece.
>>538818285more like crazyhouse... and you can't move backwards. Kind of game balance for the piece drop rule. Also gives you a "Hail Mary" option of making an end run to the other side of the board where your promoted pieces are stronger than their drops (called "entering king").
>>538812481= bishop exchange. Very prevalent in pro games recently, like how the Berlin Ruy Lopez took over in chess for a while.
>>538858513Yeah, that was the other thing. There's a hell of a lot of refutations to keep up with. I'd learn something, they'd play something different, and then I'd have to go back and look up what I'm supposed to do, and then I'd forget previous refutations I looked up.I mean, I'll return to 1....e5 eventually, but I feel like I need to spend a month or two booking up on refutations to xf7 bullshit before trying it again.>>538858787>consolidate your positionGreat idea, but hard to do when you're a shitter and super uncomfortable about your king being exposed and uncastleable.
>>538860404nigger, after Bxf7, you take it, they go Ng5+... what is the best answer? Look it up... the rest is just normal and serious chess, you are a piece up, they will do pajeet things and shitty attacks if you don't see those then train tactics and calculate
>>538859114>can't move backwardsyou can, but most pieces have limited backwards mobility.
>>538845860>win in 10 moves with this unbeatable gambit!Anon if a trap is dangerous and not too deep for a 10 min youtube video, everybody else has seen it already countless times
>>538845860>youtube tutorials are a mistake.It adds flavor to the ladder grind. Every once in a while everyone and their grandmother start playing a specific line and you just know an eceleb has spoken. Jobava London comes to mind as an example. Current meta I see the most is the Colle Zukertort.
>>538866301I swear if I see the caro-kann and the colle one more fucking time... I don't know who goes recommending this shit but everybody plays it.
>>538867340Pretty sure it's been established that the Carro-Kann plight are all Gotham cucks. Aman is doing a Colle ladder grind right now. Truth be told I am guilty of playing Colle as well lol. It's a fun system.
>>538852819that non-titled Nigerian guy is last seed I thought
>>538869123Correct the jeeta is second last doesn't change much, failing to win with white against someone 300 points lower is worse than anything "mindbroken" Ding did
>>538869707What's really funny is she's still 400 points higher than anyone Hikaru has been farming. At least Gukesh is doing it the bushido way.

so is hans going to be in the candidates or what? give it to me straight /chess/
>opponent is in a dead lost position>instead of resigning or playing out the checkmate, they let their clock run down>I start spamming the +15 seconds buttonIt's petty and passive aggressive, but I don't care.>>538897136It'd be cool, I admire his willingness to use his spite as fuel for the grind. He was buddy-buddy with Kramnik for a while. If he can pull him in a second, he might have a fairly decent result given his current form (depending on who else is competing).

>>538925517Match or game?Best game is Kasparov’s Immortal and it’s not a debate.If you do mean match, probably Fischer vs Spassky
>>538926963I still think the octopus knight game is kasparovs true immortal
>>538927526That’s a great game but it’s not as impressive to me because it was just preparation, he found a neat idea before the game and executed it well OTB. But the Immortal Game was just pure chess genius, happening right there live. For me it’s the chess equivalent of Beethoven’s 9th symphony
>>538917116That's good and all, but why would you feel proud of yourself for having your opponent blunder a queen in the opening? He didn't even give you a chance to play any fancy movesHopefully you keep playing and get to crush your opponents with crazy sacs and combinations

>>538939578even though every woman in that picture is obviously preoccupied with thoughts of big white cock, it is clear to me that divyas mind is most ravenously engaged with the notion of being penetrated and inseminated by BWC
>>538940520Of this there is simply no doubt >>538940502Divys juicy toes are property of the white man, perhaps you were flagged as a potential jeet and thereby the frames were auto clipped by divys behest? How close to you is the nearest jeet?

>play blitz>hanging pieces in one move right and leftwhat the fuck is happening to me
>>538980665Solution 1: Do a puzzle session and complement it with some slower games, that way when you play blitz your instincts will be in better shape and you'll see much higher quality moves in less time.Solution 2: Just say fuck it and go play bullet, that way it won't matter if you're hanging pieces left and right at all.
Either the 3 minute pool is significantly stronger or I'm significantly worse compared without those 2 min extra
Goryachkina won again.
are we team Keymer or team Bluebaum?
>>538987871Team Alireza
Been really impressed with Ahbimanyu Mishra's defense in this tournament. He held very tough positions against Giri, Pragg, and now Hans.
>>538987871Obviously wincent he's our only hope to have a white european champion in the near future
>>538993884Grim. Letting the birth rate slip was a mistake
Even though gukesh is about 1900 blitz and rapid its because he's good at classical and didnt cheat bros........................................its officially over
>>538958325>people who play OTB don’t know their real rating >but us newbs playing anonymous games on lichess? >WE KNOW.
>>538836249listen, without a doubt the people who were talking the most shit to me regarding chess skill were russia and czechczech came over to sp and talked a massive amount of shit with an american flag pretending to be methen when i showed up and said "do you want to get 10/0'd right now in front of everyone?" i got this weird plethora of excuses let me try to remember them>i don't have a mouse right now>and my connection is bad now>and i'm bad anyway>you have to come over to tg and fight against our champion KARL the dreaded KARLand i said i have no idea who that is and no bone to pick with them... czech and russia are the ones who were throwing rating words around on spso make a thread on sp, show your flags and i'll stomp russia and czech out 100:0i have no beef with australia who is a harmless troll or india who is another harmless trollczech or russia can speak up if they want to step up on sp with flag confirmation
>>539004167man I know you are detached from reality but there is a link to that thread right here >>538850274 you making shit up is even more retarded than usual>czech or russia can speak up if they want to step up on sp with flag confirmationI would bet half my net worth if either one does it you will just disappear for the day as always, it's so weird how you act like this knowing full well you are mediocre at best and half the thread is better than you
my biggest problem with the /chess/ schizos is they don't put on a trip or a nametagthat and the fact that tards keep engaging them
How do I find chess bros, some partner to play and improve with?
>>539008692go to a chess clubtry online leagues
>>539008692chess club IRL. never been there but I've heard it's nice
>>539009280>>539009329I'd prefer something online, chess clubs scare me.
>>539009984Is it because you're a beginner or because you're socially anxious? Because neither of these is a problem really, chess clubs are some of the most autist-friendly (for lack of a better word) places there are, and if you're new to the game people will be happy to share their knowledge
>>539009984I'm a weirdo bordering on anitsocial and even I am on good terms with everyone at the club I go to and most of them are extremely nice and friendly with me despite me being often standoffish with them, maybe I got lucky but it makes sense that chess clubs would be some of the most welcoming places for weird nerds.That said you could try asking in the lichess or .com forums for training partners around your level or if you are willing to spend money the chessdojo program seems cool
Tournaments are better without Shitnus making excuses of people wearing watches every game and showing up like a slob in jeans you MUST admit
>>539011426>>539011602I am bad with people irl, yes. I've also never played over the board.I have a chess club that's decently famous in my country for their female players, all female grandmasters. And the club generally has super strong players, more than half of them titled, so it's quite intimidating. Joining is a bit expensive too.
>>538983001That’s nice. Divya will destroy her in Candidates
>>538964292It wasn’t a “blunder”, he just didn’t realize there was a very peculiar move that would have given black equality. Topalov didn’t see it, because most wouldn’t. Even if he had, the game would have continued It’s not really in the spirit of the game to discard every brilliant game that isn’t 100% engine approved, sometimes you play speculative crazy games rather than positional grinds. What matters is if you outplayed your human opponent, not whether the engine can come up with a refutation.Fischer’s “Game of the Century” was against an IM who badly misplayed the opening and most consider it overhyped btw.
>>539000175It's weird to imagine someone like Fabi reaching rapid/blitz tiebreaks in the wc and being the massive favorite
>>539022473Kasparov’s game being played against topalov another greatest in the world makes me think it might be the greatest ever.Personally I think nezhmedhinov chernikov is the most beautiful of all time but chernikov wasn’t a great of the eratal botvinnik WC where tal sacs the knight early is another greatFischer’s greatest games are game 3 and 6 of the WC imo, game of the century was Byrne being a good sport and letting a kid play a cool finish
>>538993884Keymer never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
>>539022473>>539024309For me it's Karpov-Unzicker 1974.
>>538993884uh, what about the future first american world champion?
>>539025398Why?
>want to play OTB in FIDE tournaments>"to play in FIDE, you need to be registered with your country's federation", says google>look up tournaments in your country, gotta get rated here>cannot register to your country's federation and play in tournaments without joining a club>look up your local club>100 euro paid yearly>your country's federation is a big scam of old fuckers making money under the table, all registered clubs are a part of the inner circle to make moneyI don't even want to be in a fucking club. I just want to play chess. Jesus fucking Christ. I hate this shithole.
>>539028660Yeah OTB is a pain in the ass that you have to pay for, that’s why so many people just play online
>>539028660organizing otb events costs money and 100 euros for a year is pretty much nothing compared to other sports. it's also a good way to filter people that aren't serious about it.
>>539025943He couldn't even beat a 16 yo American kid today. Unlikely he will finish top 2 now.
>>539028660That's scuffed as shit. Is there really no way to register as an individual?
What did they tell divya right before this?
>>539031226>He prefers white girls.
>>539031226Probably got a text from her dad that she had gotten a prearranged marriage with a jeet and she would soon have to forego BWC
>>539031503Keeping divya away from BWC would be like keeping a herd of ravenous lions from a freshly killed antelope so somehow I doubt it
>>539031503She’s already married, it’s one of the reason she’s so ascendant. Probably some wealthy jeet that lets her do what she wants all day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g9JyWS9YAQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5d-bZt-H38Gonna watch these streams right now

I had 7 blunders last game, and 13 total in the game. I hate myself for being this ranked, but I'm struggling to not blunder constantly

>>539043367The shitter becomes the shittee
>>539040871Always ask yourself what your opponent wants to do, if you play the move you have in mind. This will help you to not blunder Don’t just make moves thinking about what you want. What can your opponent do about it?
>>539022473so this is a brilliant game because my opponent didn't see it.
>>539016831just go to a normal, small clubunless you're an r9k-tier guy, chess club members are just good lads who mostly wanna play chess ime
What does this item furthest down signify in the lichess database?
>>539053501>unless you're an r9k-tier guy,...and what if I am?
>>539053805That's the capital letter sigma, which is used in math to indicate summation.In this context it means that, counting up all the games proceeding from the given position, 61% were wins for white etc.
>>539054258No wonder there’s no niggers on lichess
>tfw no chess anime
>>539061487There's a shogi anime, Ryuou no Oshigoto. You can do what i did and watch it while pretending it's about chess
>>539061487There’s a chess manga that was cowritten by Kasparov for some reason, it’s called Blitz, but I couldn’t find the shit online for free, and I’m not paying for some pictures with letters.
>>539061487is this the Frieren throwaway lesbo character?
>>539063208I wanted to watch it but I'll probably have no idea wtf is going on, I don't know the rules or how the pieces move in shogi.
Return to Monke
>>539072350As far as i remember it shows as much actual shogi gameplay as queen's gambit shows chess which is pretty much nothing. No need to know the rules to watch.
>This position is from a "postal" game on Chessworld.net between 0404it (2150) and RR (unrated), 2008. Both players could use more exciting names, but the position they reached is quite an instructive one.kek, silman the goat
>>539047969I don't get these pawn movers who ignore development and castling. Just senseless players.

>>539088840On his twitter, divya is the first followerAlso, I scrolled his timeline and he doesn't post anything about other GM competitors apart from Divya, which is interesting, start the procedure. He mainly just posts about his own achievements as one might expect. (And also Divya lately for reasons)
>>539092163>>539091396

Woodward in 7th with his 2557 elo has to be underrated. The next person lower rated than him is at 58th.
>>539106650Buddy. Google hires millions of jeets. The handful of sirs at the top of the poop chain understand that planet earth unanimously wants their country cordoned and nuked. They know that this is because of what they post online, amongst a few other things. So what do they do? Spend billions of dollars on cutting edge technology to filter thirsty jeet posts all across their domains. Trust me, there are approximately twelve thousands 'bobs and vagene' posts per minute on every video divya has ever posted. But they will never see the light of day.
>>539106650They hate Indians that don't have their disgusting accent, that's the reason Tanya has to exaggerate her accent x9999 so Indians feel "at home", Divya speaks like a normal girl from California or something like that and they hate her guts

It's a golden age for American chess 1/2
2/2
>>539113813>>539114164Now to wait for one special chess boy to put them all in the trash like Fischer did with the Soviets. Hot take it's not going to be Firouzja although that too would be pure cinema.
>>539113813It's sad that Vincent and Hans have the worst tiebreaks out of those at 7, they would be my ideal top 2 but chances are slim especially since both have black tomorrow
>>539113813Except shitmerican boomers blacklisted hans
>>539114884If Hans and Vincent win their games with black and Alireza draws his, they can make it. Personally I think it's gonna be Alireza and Arjun who are gonna get those 2 spots
>>539113329Have any of the American players commented on the political climate right now? Not to name anything specific.
>>539116392I imagine people with actual lives and chess tournaments to win don't give a fuck that some youtube grifter got killed.
>>539115519which is very ironic because he is the only one out of all of those that is unquestionably american other than maybe the hapa kid, everyone else is either objectively not american (aronian,so, dominguez,mishra) or debatable(fabi, hikaru and awonder) >>539115863I think it's mathematically impossible for arjun to finish top two
>>539115863How will arjun make it with 7.5?
>>539116685>I imagine people with actual lives and chess tournaments to win don't give a fuck that some youtube grifter got killed.
>>539117089Oh shit, I thought he was on 7, my bad. Then Hans really has a chance. He already knows he can beat Anish, unless Anish goes hard for a draw our boy might make it to the candidates.Alireza and Hans getting through would be very kino
>>539117221It's true. People that have something to do with their lives don't ever care about current news or "politics"
>>539118282I'm the one who said it was mathematically impossible but I was wrong, I had only looked at the current tiebreak but since bluebaum drags alireza ARO down and keymer raises arjun's he would actually finish second behind bluebaum if he wins tomorrow and the top 2 boards draw, it's still very unlikely but not impossible
>>539118871>People that have something to do with their lives don't ever care about current news or "politics"
>>539119670> if he wins tomorrow and the top 2 boards draw*and neither mishra nor woodward wins
Hans and Alireza would beK I N OINOAnd I think its somewhat likely
I think the top two boards will be draws thinking that it's enough to get them through. Then Vincent and Abhimanyu will win and go through.
Sam Shartland is the worst American player
>>539120935I'm pretty sure I am worse than Sam Shankland.
This guy talks just like me but I am 1000 rated instead of playing in the Grand Swiss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUKlqvW3nZ8
>>539119697>If I don't consume news slop the empire will fall
>>539119670Who will be the most fun to go to the candidates? Hans for sure and who else?
>>539119697nta but you might have a reason to care if you are american(and even then I think american politics are a glorified reality show keeping you distracted while the jews that own both parties fuck you regardless of which one wins) but why should a russian living in switzerland care?
>>539121673Probably Arjun. His games are always wild
>>539121713American politics are global politics. Eurpoors and thirdies will seethe about this, but it’s true
>>539121420kek, he sounds like a cool guy
The flushening
>>539120737Can Abimanpoopeeshra really get through?
>>539121713US is the main exporter of culture, and its actions have a global impact. The whole "melting pot, let's get all the immigrants" was exported to the whole western world, for example. Cancel culture, woke, lgbt shit have also been exported to the world by the US and is one of the pathways they use to destabilize countries. Only an idiot would think that he shouldn't care about what happens in the US cause he lives in another part of the world

>>539123801low chances, but if all the stars align he might make it
>>539123801He has the best tiebreaks out of anyone on 6.5 or 7. I think if he wins and there are not decisive results on 2 of the top 3 boards he will go through.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YvpLuTa-60
>>539125238If you only knew how great things really are
Post your face when Bluebaum is the 19th world chess champion
>>539126790It would be hilarious, especially after all the hype Keymer gets. But realistically I think he can't make it through the candidates even if he gets in, he would end up being just another Chudassov
hans in the candidates would be the most kino
>>539128095Please god let it happen
Hansmokebros it's our time
Hans winning will bring Magnus out of retirement so I am in favour of it
>>539128095Like another anon said, if Hans gets in the candidates, Magnus might come out of retirement and join it just to stop him. I don't think he would allow a world where he's not world champion anymore and Hans is. And he would also fuck over Naka by taking the highest rated spot from him
Magnus wouldn't even win the candidates in his current state. He is focused on having a baby
>>539130639Hikaru's wife is pregante too
>>539129806Hans would smoke magnussy
I don't think Magzy cares enough even if Hans qualifies. He knows how much of a crapshoot that tourney is so he'd never do it.
When I see beauty, there's no doubtI'm one of the devout
>>539132140When I see blackI think it's whackBut when I see whiteIt's outta sight
>>539131931This.Magnus isn't driven or motivated by revenge and other petty considerations.
>>539133693>isn't driven or motivated by revenge and other petty considerations.he tried to ruin a kids life because he lost to him, tf you on about?
Hans already permanently buckbroke magnussy
Threesome with Pia and Anna
>>539133925That was some emotional reaction, spur-of-the-moment thing. Going out of retirement to try to get a spot in the candidates just to stop someone from becoming WC, for the sake of revenge, seems to be a touch beyond what Magnus is willing to do.Not saying he didn't act like a shitter, just saying that's more work than he'd put in for the sake of being a shitter.
>>539133925how the fuck can you retards compare the effort of throwing a hissy fit to that of trying to win the toughest tournament of chess? he's just not up for it anymore.
>>539134202Imagine taking it out of pias butt and putting it in Anna’s mouth
>>539124630Yes. I live in a cabin in the woods on 50 acres I own up in upper New York. I get all the news I need from the weather report.
>>539133693The risk:reward ratio isn't worth it. He cares about his legacy and rating spot the most, like every champion on the cusp of retirement.
>>539135170>pias buttPussy you mean, right?Right??
>>539136221I agree but if somehow hans won the candidates I could possibly see magnus helping with gukesh training or at least sharing his prep with him The shit he pulled with hans is the biggest stain on his legacy and the more ourguy proves himself the worse it makes magnus look
MASSIVE CANDIDATES DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>539136691No
>>539139863B-b-but she poops from there!?!?

>>539143380forced anal cavity search nerf destroys cheatcels
Yall niggas forgot about my boy Max
>>539142093Looks like one of my games playing high. One or two retarded moves and the entire game spirals to shit. There is gatekeeping at 1000-1200 elo for sure once you crack that you can breath a little bit, but then the real sweats come in.
>>539146541I can for sure get to 1400 by tomorrow, then I will try to reach 1500 and maybe 1600, somehow I feel confident I can do it. My win ratio still is very positive.I wonder how different it will be.

>>539154931to be quite honest when yelling
>theres an actual chance that hans will make it to candidates and could flush the poo to become WCplease god this would be so fucking funny
>>539152189Air quality. Even players like Magnus can be dramatically affected by such factors
It's sad that we get Ding and Gukesh as world champions while Hikaru will never ever be wc.
>>539161098he easily could beat pookesh, winner of candidates is probably going to take it whoever it is
>>539161939This could be a rare chance for an American to become world champion. Wesley, Fabi, or Hikaru all seem like they would have a great shot at dismantling Gukesh (Fabi always bungles it, but he could probably at the very least hold Gukesh in classical and then wipe him out in the faster tiebreak time controls)

>>539164540On a semi-related note, since stockfish 17 released i've been feeling no desire whatsoever to analyze my games anymore. Its recommendations are too incomprehensible far too often. I wish there was an option to revert back to previous versions when requesting an analysis on lichess.

>>539188356copypasting this from the comment section here is a summary of the scenarios each player needs in order to qualify for the Candidates:1.Bluebaum* Qualifies if he wins, or* If he draws and at least two of the following three results occur: i. Giri–Niemann = Draw ii. Mishra does not win iii. Keymer does not win2.Firouzja* Qualifies if he wins, or* If he draws and all of the following results occur: i. Giri–Niemann = Draw ii. Erigaisi–Keymer = Draw iii. Mishra does not win iv. Woodward does not win3.Giri* Qualifies only if he wins^4. Niemann* Qualifies if he wins, or* If he draws and all of the following results occur: i. Bluebaum–Firouzja do not draw ii. Erigaisi–Keymer = Draw iii. Mishra does not win iv. Woodward does not win5. Keymer* Qualifies only if he wins and at least one of the following happens: i. Bluebaum–Firouzja = Draw ii. Giri–Niemann = Draw, or Giri wins^6.Mishra* Qualifies only if he wins and at least two of the following occur: i. Bluebaum–Firouzja = Draw ii. Giri–Niemann = Draw iii. Keymer does not win7. Erigaisi* Qualifies only if he wins and all of the following occur: i. Giri–Niemann = Draw ii.Mishra does not win8. Woodward* Qualifies only if he wins and all of the following occur: i. Giri–Niemann = Draw ii. Erigaisi–Keymer = Draw iii. Mishra does not win^ If Bluebaum–Firouzja does not end in a draw and both Keymer and Giri win, then Giri and Keymer would have the same average-rating tiebreak, and the second tiebreak would apply.

>playing a game against myself with evaluations hidden>game ends in a draw, time to review the game>see several turns constantly flipping between +3 and -3 for a pawn move>apparently whoever moved first gets better trade and positionhow do i get better at calculating shit multiple turns ahead
>both of them need to win to qualify>go for a line with an almost 80% draw rate>trade queens on move 14wtf is wrong with hans and giri?
>>539198289I think Giri can be somewhat happy but Hans is basically out
>>539195963pic related and some endgames can help you a lot. "Anybody" can calculate 20+ moves but the difference between us shitters and GM is the precision, we tend to calculate useless shit that makes us waste time, shit like>WAIT I DON'T HAVE TO RECAPTURE HEHE LEVY TOLD ME TO DO DANGERS LEVELS YEAH That's why they know a lot of patterns and see tactics instantly, they know how to separate real stuff from bullshit. Also, they know WHEN to calculate
>shit's popping off on all the top boards>better analyse a 0.00000 opposite colored bishop endgame in the women's section for 10 minutesbruh

Winnish GODri
Hans MOKED Niemann
I want to strangle the fucking morons here who told me to switch to 5+3 to improve this shit has tanked my chess understanding in a record time
>predicts the ending in your way
>>539213074Too much time to think I know. Jesus you need an entire week bro?
>>539213074Mikhail Botvinnik forbade his students to play blitz, saying it fucks up the amateur player's development, and they need to play classical games and calculate everything to improve as players.Artur Yusupov, one of the best chess pedagogues of all time, also forbade blitz for the same reasons.Chess pedagogics are very against blitz and bullet. If you see anonymous amateur retards saying "PLAY BLITZ TO IMPROOOOOOVE", tell them to fuck themselves.
>>539214147Just cope for retards. >I couldn’t find mate in 2 because I didn’t have 20 minutes to think>yes yes every blitz player would’ve premoved it>BUT ITS NOT CUZ IM A RETARD!>I just need to THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK moar
>>539214147Ok, but Hikaru Nakamura would dog walk botvinik and said blitz is fine and he played blitz all through his youth. Do I trust a dogmatic patzer from 100 years ago, or the second highest rated player at the time of posting...?
>>539214782rating?
>>539215536higher than yours bitch
>>539215447He also played tournament classical chess 90% of the time at high level, and focused on it. Do you?
any combination of keymer, hans, alireza and ,to a lesser extent but only due to being a jeet, erigaisi would have been kino, instead we get abasov 2.0 and slurpish giri
>>539216402Keymer choked 2 consecutive games and killed his chances. Really disappointing.
>>539216402I wanted Alireza too but he would perform worse than Blubaum in the candidates. I think he doesn't care anymore
>>539215978There's no way he did. Firstly there isn't a tournament every day, even at the peak of their careers these guys are playing more casual chess than professional, so it's wild to think it'd be different for a child. Secondly, he himself has said with his own words that he mostly played blitz.
>>539217104>22 >gave upHe doesn't have the makings of a varsity athlete. Shame.
>>539215447>Nakamura said blitz is fine and he played blitz all through his youth.loloh well if it worked for him, it works for everyonenever understood the point of these "arguments"is Nakamura a good chess player or a good chess teacher? there's a subtle difference
>>539217803How does someone so talented burn out just shy of the top?
will bluebaum be another chudasov?
>>539218149I don't know, but they keep making gms younger and younger if I was looking at that stiff competition I'd give up as well. Soon we're going to have gms at single digit age. Thanks computer.
>>539218149My feeling is that he knows he can be champion if he invests 100% effort in the next few years and that's probably enough for his ego. Actually doing it isn't worth it. He only plays tournaments with large prizes in the last few years and has limited his classical games.
>>539218016>If it worked for him it worked for everyone.This vague refusal of advice can be applied to yours as well. Botvinik himself understood that his teachings were applicable to promising juniors, botvinik didn't build Kasparov from a 400 dotcom shitter, most people agree he was already about 2000 strength when he joined at 10, you don't think he played any blitz for that?Botvinik may be right that blitz won't help a 2k rating go to 2600+, that just isn't repevant to the average 400 rated opponent that doesn't routinely face opposition that provides challenge worthy of 2 hours of scrutiny in a classical format.You're taking a quote from a dead bitch and applying to situations it wasn't intended for.
>>539219094Maybe 400s would benefit from a time control where they (and their opponent) can actually formulate a plan and avoid hanging pieces every game
>>539219094how do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you won't even say your rating
>>539219681You know many 400s formulating plans?
>>539219897I don't even think it would be possible to remain 400 for long for someone who had a solid grasp of the rules and played with enough time to think.The way I imagine a 400 player, learning how the knight moves instantly increases their rating by 200 points.But nonetheless, if you ever watched a pogchamps stream, you'd know that really bad players can still come up with ideas about how to proceed in the position. "I'll attack that piece, I'll push over there, I'll promote my pawns, I'll line up my queen and bishop to checkmate him"
>>539219806Likewise. A more relevant question, which of your 400 rated friends have gained the most rating following your advice? Where did they get to? My roommate learned the game as an adult and is 1000 dotcom rapid.>>539219681Do you actually know any 400s? I think you probably have a fair assessment of their ability, but you seem completely disconnected from the issues 400s actually face OTB.>PlanIjbol, they don't know how to evaluate simple positions, they fundamentally don't understand strengths and weaknesses, they think castling is questionable, let alone come up with a plan to exploit any of the above.The average 400 made his last move because it hits a piece or vaguely pressures something, or even "I didn't know what to do"
>>539220732The concept of a plan just like the president.
>>539221404>My roommate learned the game as an adult and is 1000 dotcom rapid.this is the biggest self own I've ever seen
Hans, why
>>539224124His talent is too bright for the English.
>mfw your great white hope Hans was eliminated by a brown manGuess you'll have to cheer for Bluebaum now
>>539225186Uhm excuse me, did you forget there's a little jewfro man called Fabi.
>>539221997Sure, how are the beginners you taught doing? Any of them still play? Any of them over 400?I know the truth your flippant response hides. Your advice has probably never lead to a single rating point gained for anyone, because your advice is out of context quotes from GMs you didn't know or understand 100 years ago.
Carlsen and Nakamura are both listed as participants in the World Cup. Are they really gonna play?https://worldcup2025.fide.com/participants/
>>539229472I think it just means they’re qualified, I doubt they’ll play
>>539225186Very well. Bluebeans is my new favorite chess player. Please flush the poos
>>539225186It's annoying rooting for Hans because he always chokes when it matters. He needs to lock in for the World Cup
>Anish back in top 10 (#7)Girincels... We are most definitely BACK IN BUSINESS!
>>539232831>Keymer from WishBut....................Why?
>>539233346now imagine someone having fabi and hans as his 2 favorite active players lol, couldn't be me no way...
Fabi will win
... at the biggest jobber contest
Bluebaum will be WC, reign for 10 years and never lose to a poo
>>539238594Hans Niemann will qualify for the Candidates in the World Cup, sweep the boomers and beat Gook with the Schliemann.Screencap this.
>>539238594I can only hope so. It's been hard finding a reason to be proud of my country ever since the US had the GDR collapse out of fear.
>>539238594Wrong. It's Fabi time frfr this time.
>no magnus>dad hikaru practicing against hicks>Fabi #3 in the world, first qualified for Candidates, historically weak World Champion to defeatIt's his turn.
>>539240103Tactical Fat Nepo incoming. Chances of anyone surviving the Candidates are slim to none. Third time's the charm!
Giri is one hell of a boring player, never liked him fuuuuuckkkk
Does the Blü in Blübaum's name mean bloom or blue?
>>539241724In modern german neither although it most closely resembles the word stem blüh- with the h omitted which would translate to bloom and which would be the most immediate association for me as a native speaker if I looked at it in passing. Information online is conflicting thoughbeit.
>finished on 5/11>lost 4 ratingit's over
High level chess events ranked by viewer enjoyment:1. World Cup: every game is hugely consequential. Nothing like it. We need more big knockout tournaments.2. Grand Swiss: always blood when the big dogs have to face the underdogs3. Candidates4. Tata Steel: good mix of promising young players and established stars5. Norway Chess, Sinquefield Cup: usually as strong a field as the candidates6. World Championship
>>539244624Olympiad deserves a mention as well and is up there with the World Cup
>>539244785>olympiad Designated cheating tournament.
>>539244785After the debacle of unchecked poos cheating to no end the Olympiad has lost validity for the rest of time
>Drawish Giri>Matthias BlueBUM>made Candidates>to fight for the chance to face World Champion Pookesh>who is not even top tenChess is dead
>>539240398I would agree but it’s usually supposed to be his turn and he always finds a way to choke. I won’t believe in Fabi in the Candidates until I see him win it
>>539251036Weird narrative considering Fagi is one of the elite few to have ever won a Candidates.
>.1 second left>mate premoved>LOSS BY TIMEOUTIs the clock part of the scam algorithm now?
>>539219047It’s actually the opposite, he did the whole “100% effort” before and was nowhere close to competing to win Candidates, I think that actually did a lot of psychological damage and deep down he feels like he doesn’t have what it takes. It doesn’t help that he didn’t do much better the second time. So I think he’s distanced himself a little to protect his ego.It was unfair of people to overhype him as much as they did, I remember once when Firouzja and Magnus played each other, Anish Giri said “great, there are TWO of them now.” What? I never saw that. I always said his peak potential was MVL, nominally good enough to be world champ but in reality just a gatekeeper.But he grew up his whole life hearing how he was the next great world champion and trying to live up to that expectation. So he managed to cross 2800, made Candidates, it’s happening!! only to come up so short. It makes sense that he’s scared to put himself in a position to disappoint again. And imo it’s fair, because he will never have what it takes.
>>539252030That doesn’t make sense. Years have passed since he won Candidates and he has failed many more times than he succeeded, despite often being the favorite. One success in the past doesn’t mean he hasn’t consistently failed after.
>>539252226They give a network delay allowance to third world countries. Not kidding. Just another reason to abort against them
>>539216968Typical
>>539214782lol so true
If you get checkmated one turn before you checkmate, you should get a draw. You both played about equally well
>>539252625>he has failed many more times than he succeededNo shit, it's an 8 player tournament. That's like trying to shit on Fagnus for having lost Tata Steel many more times than he succeeded.
>>538797595holy smokes who is this fine chica bonita? my my my would i like cum in her pussy if you catch my drift, am i right fellas? ehhh?
>>539009984Just join some chess youtubers/streamers discord
>>539254448No, it’s not the same. Candidates is by far the most important tournament you will ever play and you always bring your A game, Tata Steel is just another annual tournament. If Magnus had to defend his title by winning Candidates every cycle as well, he would have won Candidates almost every time. There might have been one upset. Your responses continue to not make sense. Yes, it’s an 8 player tournament, that is indeed the player count. Fabiano would indeed have to beat other players to secure victory in the tournament. I don’t know what relevance you imagine that has.
>>539244624>We need more big knockout tournamentsKnockout formats tend to be more random as the winner don't play half the field.I personally prefer swiss or round robin.
>>539255154I can tell you're a low elo shitter.

Here’s me outplaying Stockfish. Keep comparing the moves Stockfish wanted me to play in the middle game with the moves I played and tell me which you honestly believe are stronger. https://lichess.org/WKnl68KV/whiteEngines are good at making *engine* moves which is sometimes different from playing the strongest human moves. It wanted all sorts of weird alternatives to the clearly best moves, because it was predicting other gay engine moves on the other side. Whereas I was playing a human, with human moves, and chose the correct moves to finish the game quickly.Sometimes it’s valid to say to an engine, “I disagree.”

>>538893980You’re mistaken if you think lichess isn’t also filled with Indians just because most people don’t show flags. They’re everywhere. But com has better cheat detection to deal with it.
lichess banned me because they muted me for accusing someone of cheating, which I didn’t know, and I logged into the second account I had already created beforehand, which they said was an attempt to dodge the shadow mute, that I didn’t know about
so now I play on scam
>>539299742That's why I play on chess.com. Better anticheat and possibility to abort indians.
why do people cheat at chess? how can cheating be fun, you just copy paste movesI understand cheating in some counter strike or something, where you see people through walls and not getting caught is a part of the fun, but here?
>>539302928It’s impossible for normal people with souls like you and I to comprehend. This is equivalent to asking why the black guy would stab stabbed Iryna Zaretska. Some people’s brains run on entirely different tracks, and we can’t imagine it.
>start playing daily games on chess.com>no one uses opening explorers and master databases, so you win everythingwtf? do people not know it's allowed?
>>539274217>I legit cannot make my brain work on the level of a 5 year old. It's just constant dogshit, trying to play way too fast, not thinking, only using instincts I don't have.This shit right here is exactly why anyone with any sense knows that playing speed chess is terrible for people who are just starting. It should be painfully obvious that it's a bad idea to condition yourself into playing with little if any thinking (which is what fast time controls do) when you have pretty much no experience with the game, but people really like to gaslight themselves to death when it comes to this for whatever reason and say that it's fine. They think it's a natural progression to still hang multiple of your pieces every game (AKA to not even have a full, intuitive understanding of the RULES OF THE GAME such as how every piece moves and where it can go in a given turn) even after playing hundreds and hundreds of games of chess. That would be a mad amount of experience if these were standard or rapid games. There are people who don't see, at all, the sheer absurdity in something like this.And what suffers the most is the morale of the new player dragging the stone up the hill forever, of course.
>>539306380If they knew what you were doing they'd probably consider it cheating, kek

>>539221404>Do you actually know any 400s?Honestly, no. I have friends who hardly ever played chess and had almost no interest in the game, and even they were easily 600 without any effort400 is unfathomably bad, almost strictly for very young children or third worlders, I would guess
Bumping with Reti's most well-known endgame study.White to draw.
>>539221404>they think castling is questionableBut castling is questionable
>>539302928At a shitter level, I think it's a sense of "power" remember that many people consider chess the game of geniuses and super logical people (we know that's not true but they don't know cuz they don't play/have experience) when they lose, they feel attacked, like their "intelligence" is not good enough.They play 1 game or more and lose every game, they don't want to study, don't want to understand the game (long process) so they hate people that know how to play and they look at them with disdain and think they are "pompous" and shallow and pedantic (kek) just like pic related. So they try to win by cheating and get a relief in the form of "vendetta" something like " What happens now bitch? Weren't you super smart? You're losing now, what are you gonna do?" Those are my 2 cents, idk what other anons think

Did you ever get worse for no apparent reason?If so how did you fix it?Up to monday I was steadily holding 2000+ .cum rapid, yesterday I lost every rated game I played and even in lichess anon I was blundering 10x more than usual.Today I dusted off one of my many smurf accounts which was around 1850 and even there I went +4-4=1 so I'm more than 150 points weaker than I was 2 days ago.The main problem is that I'm missing obvious moves from my opponent all the time even when I take my time to look for them or I notice I can do a certain move because it blunders something but then the very next move I forget and do it, it's driving me crazy especially since usually calculation is the best part of my game

pretty sad that the WC cycle is such a complicated system that is only choosing the world #2. Magnus just won a second TT with a near perfect score, checkmating in nearly every game, off by just one draw to Duda this week.
>>539344343The fact that the undisputed world #1 in classical is also a beast at rapid, blitz, and bullet makes me very happy.Realistically, in any time control except bullet he's probably #1. In blitz he might be even be further ahead of everyone else than in classical.In bullet he could only be top 3-5, not sure.
>>539342739and yet you are the only one ITT talking about this you retard

If I were FIDE president, I'd do 2 Grand Swiss events each qualifying 3, and World Cup qualifying 2, fuck the rating spot. But that has the side effect of not making people go out to play other tournaments, which the circuit spots do.
>Poopoopeepeedananda will get the circuit spotCRINGE
>>539347564how much of a lock is that? There are many near the top of the list that haven't even played the five required tournaments yet
>>539327753Good analysis. Definitely a motivation of many
>>539351449I think theoretically he could be overtaken by abdusattorov but is ahead, not sure though
>>539342739this is a metaphor, get your political shit out of /chess/
>>539342739the jews did it (as per usual)
>>539302928I think I recognize it's cope on a subconscious level, but I think cheating for some key moves can be an effective teaching tool.
>>539361176That's what analyzing after the game is for Surmandeep
>>539361176Does Naroditsky use 4chan?
>>539362791Yes
>that normie who claims to be trying to improve but has been hardstuck at 800 .scam for monthsPost your most hated player archetypes. Hard mode: no nationalities, ethnicities, religions or political affiliations.>>539361176It's retarded. Not because it's unfair, but because it's the exact opposite of the most effective way of learning (aka painful OTB losses).
>>539363494Worst player archetype is a bullet monkey trying to catch you on an opening premove.Just had a jew hit me with this one today, it didnt work, the most baffling thing was the whole game he kept trying to catch me premoving after that until all his little jew pieces were gone
>>539363494I don't know about you but I forget about my OTB games as soon as the tournament is over, losses, wins or draws. If I didn't take photos of the scoresheets I wouldn't even remember what happened after the first move.
>>539363927Weird, my memory is utter trash but I can recall the gist of most of my rated otb losses because of how focused I get when playing otb and how strongly I feel about losing in rated tournaments.
>>539361176kill yourself faggot
If you took a decent titled player (say, an FM or IM) and took away all their opening theory knowledge beyond a few moves, leaving them with mainly just knowledge of opening principles and some vague ideas/themes/traps for each opening, would they get rolled and end up hardstuck <2200 elo, or would their calculation ability and tactical knowledge carry them to a decent strength?
>>539363494The type that starts a pawn storm before castling or even developing all of their pieces.
>>539365374It's storm or be stormed. I died too many times getting opposite-side-castled on to let my opponent get me first.
>>539342739I'm surprised larpov managed to post something that further lowered my opinion of him.Go learn to use /pol/ and get in fights with the 'zoomers' there
>>539365374Sounds like the 150 attack mainline lmao.
>>539363494>Hard mode: no nationalities, ethnicities, religions or political affiliations.brownskinned cheaters from southwest "asia"
>>539336318>basic bitch "i queen with check so i don't need to allow the opponent to get in front of the pawn">2450lichess is a gay website, also this shouldn't be a "tactic" puzzle
>>539364821Polgar said that she didn't prepare opening prep that much and she regretted it later in her career, she studied a lot of middlegames and endgames. She said that because her peers were more knowledgeable in the opening, she had to fix her shitty positions in the middlegame, so basically she had to play real chess from the beginning.
>>539363494the redditors type where they go >B-But I have a PhD in Maths>My IQ is 130>I got excellent grades, and my memory is perfect>Why am I still 400 elo on chess.com?>It's must be the game's fault>Me? no way, too smart to dedicate some minutes to it>This game sucks
Danny is coming for you faggots. There's no place for racism in chess our in our society in general.
>>539371730thank god I dont use that shithole of a website lmao
>>539371730how is online racism real? just disable the chat, change your flag to the generic world one lol
>>539372416jeets think if they can ban everyone who makes racist remarks against them then no one will hate them anymoreinstead of the opposite which is people hate them even more for being thinskinned whiners who will happily talk shit but then cry about it whenever it gets turned back on them
Just got some points refundedHow bad at cheating do you have to be to get caught before you hit 700?
>>539371730I'm not a racist, unironically.
what a fullfilling life he must have!https://lichess.org/Mx9fkOWi/black
>>539373825Alright I just reviewed some games and I think this guy was only cheating in end games for some reason. How bad do you have to be to get caught while using a strat?
>>539371730I'm a racist, unironically.At least as far as I know, being aware of basic statistics or the fact that there isn't a single universal human brain phenotype independent of regional genetic variation is sufficient to render someone a horrible, irredeemable "racist".And I'm sufficiently disagreeable that I think that's pretty funny
>>539371730Imagine not having chat turned off on that scam website where opponents can spam emojis
>>539375631You've never stuck your peepee inside a hot chick tho.
Anons here pretend the men in chess aren’t more heinous than the girls in chess. The girls are often fit and attractive. Compare that to all the huge lardass male players. Even youngish ones.
>>539377414Yeah but for every Parham Maghsoodloo or Hans Niemann there's a Max Warmerdam or Jorden van Foreest
>>539377414Fabi is very cute
>>539377793Van Foreest walled hard. Chudnus mogs.
>>539369352From what I've read from her and others, Polgar seemed to do the least preparation of the super GMs. It's like she'd take a glance at the latest theory five minutes before the game, and then go play.
>>539381648she's just like me frfr (except the super gm part)
>>539377414Hate hans cause you ain't hans
>>539302928Most top players have cheated at one time or another.
>>539302928Some video game cheating is fun, I especially enjoyed writing my own cheats (wallhacks, aimbots etc.) because it felt like a real accomplishment and it was fun to try to evade anticheat measures. I never used cheats in any kind of ranked gameplay, of course.But with chess, there's not even a challenge, cheating is totally trivial and doesn't demonstrate any kind of skill or technical aptitude, it's just straight up defection on the social contract that makes online play possible at all.
>>539371730>>539372129I had issues with com chat rules one time out of thousands of messages of vicious abuse, and as soon as I contact them (this was when you still could) and said bitch I’ve paid you guys hundreds of dollars you’re not about to mute me, they said it was a “mistake” and reversed it within days.Lichess will shadow mute you for the slightest infraction and sometimes even ban you outright (I’ve heard people say that happened here). Danny is doing lip service here but com is not NEARLY as tone policing as lichess. It’s like the difference between America and Soviet Russia. You can really say anything you want on com.
>>539388838>thousands of messages of vicious abuseWhy tho kek
>>539388838> I’ve paid you guys hundreds of dollars you’re not about to mute mehahaha, if there's one thing you can count on chesscom for, it's throwing all other principles aside in their relentless quest to squeeze as much money out of their users as possible> thousands of messages of vicious abuseI really am missing out on half of the fun of online chess, huh
>>539389104I had anger issues exclusively when it came to chess and I don’t know why. I flew off the handle over everything. Suspected cheats, gimmick openings, refusing to resign, lucking into a win. I have something odd inside me that CAN’T endure the idea of people I don’t respect thinking they’re better than me, so when cheats or cowardly trade-everything players or flaggers would beat me, I felt like I had to get through to them and make them see how yeah maybe they “won”, but they shouldn’t kid themselves that they’re not pathetic losers. So I’d just unload reams of messages both in chat and then continue on into their DMs lmao. Trust me, com does NOT care.
The downie retard time control memes are really funny oh boy. It’s great when invalids who should commit suicide instead meme on chess time controls. For the millionth time.
>>539390160But were they ever racist though? That’s the kicker
>>539390786Only towards Indians but yes, regrettably. I’ve grown out of that
>>539390160hello karla post bobs and vagene thank you

Do you think Israelis get mad when I abort them due to it being nearly identical to another holomcaust?
>>539393456I believe that was german11
I decided to play again today and I have lost even more fucking points. I am now down below 650, and even the retards down here are kicking my ass. Be honest with me, should I kill myself?
>crazy schizo bitch spews insanity at people>Danny: well it's okay, she's a rowdy little pay piggy but a good little pay piggy still>Thibault (personally): kick and keep that mentally ill bitch off this site liGODS win again
I laugh at Gothomchess videos thinking "how can anyone be that bad?" but then I play and I literally am that bad and worse. I am subhuman, a fucking maggot faggot fuckign little hsit unowrthy of fucking life. Can't even be damned to be good at my hobbies I'm wasting my life on
>>539399543Bitch is retarded. “Lichess filters schizo whore sluts and that is….le bad”
>>539399625Read some books, solve some tactics every day, and try to think before you move. You can make it to 1000 within a few weeks, at which point you'll be able to destroy most casuals you meet irlEven good players sometimes blunder or get tilted and temporarily have blind spots, so don't worry so much about the short term ups and downs.
>>539399543Kek
>>539399543Nice try Thibault, censorship is never cool
>>539400506I'm going to start doing more puzzles. Any suggestions for good puzzle sources?

alright I finally played a game I'm satisfied with. nothing special but I made zero blunders and positioned well at least

>>539404194>You do want to play Nd4 rather than Bd4I'm sorry I don't understand

>>539302928It has become much more blatant recently at the intermediate level (2100-2300) on lichess. Pic related. I'm 2200 liblitz and I lost 2 games in a row against this guy last night and just stopped playing for the night because I felt depressed because I know if I report him lichess won't do anything. I'll probably just keep playing on ICC even though it takes ages to get a game during european hours because mainly americans play on ICC. Lichess is ogre.
>>539390160>cowardly trade-everything players or flaggers would beat me>Oh no, they beat me fair and square following the rules of the game, this is such disrespect for my unmatched geniuspeople like you are cancer, i hate your ilk almost as much as cheaters
>>539422083hes right, they make a mockery of the gameso what if you "won" if you debased yourself to the level of an animal to do it
Give me your energy!
>>539422836How is following the rules of the game making "a mockery of the game"?Putting pressure on the clock and taking people to the endgame are all part of the game, you people are just coping.
>>539422976its called the gentlemans game for a reasonyou and your nigger ilk should stick to throwing dice in the gutters of your ghetto
>>539390160>cowardly trade-everything playersI have mastered all forms of KxP endgames.I will trade everything.You can not stop me.
>>539422963dew it
>>539423031>its called the gentlemans game for a reasonYeah and that reason is marketing. Chess has always been a game for unsportsmanlike schizophrenic freaks.

>>539422963Have you made it?
>>539371730Looking at this now, the way this faggot writes is so infuriating it's all the worst aspects of corporate speak, slimy politician babble and reddit quirkiness combined.I love how in picrelated he mentions all the WOAT commentator and none of the best ones, if FIDE doesn't stop being so incompetent at it the future of chess broadcasting is really grim.
>>538703384very pretty
>>539422836It's chess, not the bible, wtf.>>539390160The irony is that the reason you have to reach for excuses and lash out at opponents is because in chess you have no externalities to blame. No shitty teammates or bad luck, just slow inaccurate play from you or your opponent.Chess isn't a reflection of your worth, you should try to change that assessment so you can enjoy the game
>>539428452got matched against 3 third-worlders in a row playing philidor/bowdler/hippo
>>539432417>philidor
>>539364436I've always had these memory blackouts when I have to focus. I'd leave exams not remembering a single question lol.
>>539376916I agree with him and i've done that. Now what?
>>539401776chesstempo.com is good for this. It also gameifies stuff by giving you a tactic rating and keeping track of daily activity streaks.
>>539420939You're blur-sama right?
>>539432417I’ve only ever seen brownoids play the philidor
>>539432417I just found out about the bowdler yesterday. I've never played it but it seems like a hilarious option to cuck chessable appreciators out of getting to use their sicilian theory
>>539425435>yeah and that reason is marketing. Chess has always been a game for unsportsmanlike schizophrenic freaks.Your brain is way too internet-rotted. Chess has been known as a gentleman's game forever, much longer than you've been following modern youtube drama for. Even Benjamin Franklin wrote an entire article about sportsmanship in chess.https://americanliterature.com/author/benjamin-franklin/essay/the-morals-of-chess
>>539437018A true Chessable Chad knows bowdler theory as well. You’re not gonna win that battle
>>539437083>Chess has been known as a gentleman's game forever,Yeah, because of marketing. The first world champion went schizo, the second dodged the third like a coward, the fourth lost to the vastly inferior fifth because he was a drunkard, the sixth was an apparatchik who prearranged games to win his title back from the seventh, eight nine ten were decent, but eleventh was once again a schizo, twelfth was another greasy apparatchik, thirteenth founded his own federation and then refused to play the guy who won his candidates, fourteenth is having schizophrenic meltdowns on youtube and that brings us to the zoomie era you mentioned. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, not even going into the shit non-champions got up to.
Is the Liga over for the weavers?
>>539437018It's all cool until you play into a Kan/Taimanov player. Then you're double fucked.
>>539440795We are taking an administrative leave of absence
>>539440453What's wrong with being a politician?
>>539440795Pretty much, since everyone stopped showing up. Ligas are fun but it's so much time every week that I guess people get tired of it
>>539440453Do you literally not know the meaning of the word "marketing"?
>>539440453I think "vastly inferior" is too strong for Euwe. While I'd agree Alekhine was the superior player, it's more like 1) Alekhine completely underestimated him, and 2) Euwe was an amateur (in the literal sense) who considered his teacher's job as his main occupation, meaning we never saw a fully armed and operational Euwe.From what I've read, the modern concept of match preparation started with Euwe.I consider Euwe an underestimated world champion to this day.

>>539449793how would I do it, though? I won my first game yesterday, but it was because my opponent resigned. I've been doing the Chess.com puzzles, which is improving my vision and pattern recognition, but I feel like an idiot for not being able to figure this out.
