>>539462434he looks like he should be named Igor
>>539462434I could see him being the main character in a Haneke movie
didn't know doofenshmirtz played chess
have you ever been so mad you wanted to scalp a man over chess?
Just playing around with my homemade opening study app and having too much fun to actually take the time to release it. Please motivate me.
>>539467709Of course, I still remember one time around 2 years ago I stalemated against some neverresigning faggot in time trouble and he mocked me afterwards I would have murdered that faggot if I could haveI posted about it here saying I wanted to skin his children alive in front of him and then cave his head in with an hammer,I was completely unironic hell I'm still getting mad thinking about it 2 years later
>>539467709You ever played one of the new DOOMs and saw these brutal melee kill animations?Sometimes i get so mad that's exactly what i wanna do to my opponents
>>539468134Nah, you can keep it.
>proctor mandatory for everyone during TT>suddenly Hikaru is no longer winning everythinghmmm
>>539472241He’ll just go with the “I’m getting old” cope. His playstyle was always weird to me, wouldn’t be surprised if he did cheat
>>539468134you're making something for the gayest aspect of the game so don't expect praisebut still, good on you for creating something even if there's many other programs that do that, this one will truly be yours
>>539468134Don’t listen to the theorylets. Opening theory is the most interesting part of the game and has a cult like following. Continue to work on your app
>>539468134what's your elevator pitch? how is it different from other shitty apps?i wanted to find one that would let me write notes and draw anywhere on the board, but yours doesn't seem very interactive.
>>539472241>proctor mandatory for everyone during TTdid they really employ hundreds of proctors just for this?
>>539474803It's a computer software that tells them everything that happens on the players pc + 2 cameras (1 facing the setup, one facing the player, I think)
>>539475359I see. that's pretty sweet.
>>539475359It's better than nothing but it's still trivial to cheat,for example Hikaru is wearing headphones in that pic for all we know he could be on a call with someone following the game from another pc and telling him engine moves at critical momentsThey should add delay, ban headphones and require a microphone to stream the them the audio in the room too
bro thought he's the endgame master
>>539470312what the fuck is wrong with you dude
>>539478315>random h3 push from white in the opening that does nothing but waste a tempoDamn, never thought i'd catch one in the wild. Can you explain what's the thought process that goes behind moves like that? I've seen this tons of times from online opponents, never understood it. When i first learned chess i was explicitly taught not to do that.
>>539479129Completely normal reaction to never resigning stalemate cucks
>>539479824To prevent bishop from getting to g4. I don't wanna lose my knight early. It's also useful to prevent sneaky ice skating mate, if it's ever a become a sudden threat.
>>539478315>h3>a6 and h6 from your opponent300 elo
>>539480179>He loves getting pinned early
>>539480391Not a problem unless you’re absolute dog shit at chess (which you are)
>>539480043>>539480391Bg4 in that position is a pretty bad mistake if white takes the center with d4. Black starts suffering from tons of pressure very early on due to the weaknesses created and lack of development. I recommend you to take a look at the game in this link on an analysis board, see how black can get completely crushed after that move.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_GameDoesn't even apply just to this particular opening, very early Bg4 pins are a relatively common inaccuracy for allowing early attacks. The book Art of Checkmate has an entire section on that iirc. Here's another very famous example of a bad pin.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_TrapStuff like this is why it's important to study classic games when learning chess.
>>539429063my wife anna rudolf is top tier, you better not be insulting her commentating ability
>>539481601>Opera gameSorry gramps, not happening.
>>539482061The top tier is Leko, Polgar, Svidler, Gustafsson and Anand. She's not even in the same universe.
>>539482637>gustafssonhe wishes
>>539482692I only put him there for his colabs with Svidler. In another pairing I consider him high tier on par with people like Miroshnichenko or Howell when he's not doing the chess.scam mickey mouse shit.
>>539483335have you ever heard anna commentary? she has the voice of an angel
>>539483582Mogged by Yasser in that department I'm afraid.
>>539483689homo
>>539482390The guy i was replying to is an actual beginner. It's better for him to study Morphy than to try to understand deeply complex positional games by Karpov or the like.Also, out of curiosity, where is that image from?
>>539483709
>>539482692>gustafssonI like his dry humor.and he's definitely much better than the likes of Canty or Rozman. But I agree with that other anon, he's best when paired with someone like Svidler. too bad he stopped doing streams in English
>>539482061There's something uncanny about her face, I just can't put my finger on what it is
>>539484528She's weird in general. Something's off about her. I feel bad energy when she talks.
rate my anderssen-esque game
>>539483776found it on this pagehttps://zoboko.com/text/15rr0ldq/how-to-study-chess-on-your-own-creating-a-plan-that-works-and-sticking-to-it/7from a text called "How to Study Chess on Your Own: Creating a Plan that Works… and Sticking to it!"
>>539485351Holy shit, this guy just BTFO literally the entirety of /chess/, lmao
