>>540411478thank you for making a real one
idk which one to post this so I'll just drop it hereinsane gameit really showcases the brilliance required to break through real defence
I will be posting in this one
>>540412321You post in the first one that gets posted, that's the side wide rule, but this guy is throwing a hissy fit that he didn't get to make it so we can post here since it means that much to him, whatever. >>540412064>>540412458This is undignified by the way, get a grip.
>>540412484*site wide
>>540412484yeah but I don't like that onedon't know why some retard felt the need to change the normal op that's more than a year old
>>540412680You don't like it because you didn't make it. Your OP is shit. lichess is shit and the team is dead, it's also pointless to link the previous thread because this board isn't archived. There is nothing special about your OP except the fact that you made it. That other thread was my first time making a thread and I thought it would be fun to give it a try but apparently I stepped on your toes and you have to plug lichess, so whatever. Won't bother again.
>>540411478so you didn't threadsplit for the gothamjew op or the gay furry porn op but this is where you draw the line?You have weird priorities man I like this OP better too but this is pasteintrannyesque behaviour >>540412484>this guy is throwing a hissy fit that he didn't get to make it so we can post here since it means that much to himI made the last thread and many others before that and he didn't threadsplit so I think he's just really triggered by faustino for whatever reason
>>540412894oh fuck I didn't see that that faggot had removed the team from the OP, then it's 100% justified to make a proper one my bad>>540412892KYS
>>540413082Weird ass
>>540412892kill yourself while you're at it
By the way, it's easy to tell when it's you samefagging because the thread doesn't get bumped up the board, retard. You're sperging out over being the OP of a thread spamming KILL YOURSELF, you should consider taking your own advice.
>>540412892>lichess is shit and the team is deadI don't understand anons who unironically join it. I would never want to call myself an anon publicly. It's like self-humiliation.
>>540413572It used to be worth it when it was active, you could have arenas with up to 10 anons and bantz in the general. Now it averages 2 people per the rare arena, I don't understand OP's obsession with making it a staple. It's over lol
>>540413508>>540413572>wrongly accuses someone of samefagging>blatantly samefags immediately afterlol how you doing pbt? you hadn't sperged out in a while
>>540414007?? It's my first post in this thread
>>540413959we had decent number in some of the ligas up to like a month agohttps://lichess.org/tournament/qhahVKr1all it takes is for someone to join first and shill them and we could get the tournaments going againI should be free this weekend if so I'll do it
>>540412892Hey newfag zoomer retard, kill yourself
>>540414007No, I didn't and I'm not interested in your faggot thread war, we can post here dude it's all good. You earned it>>540414397>we could get the tournaments going againNo, you can't. You've been saying that for over a year and they still average two people.
>>540414630Seriously, you can stop. You got your way, move on. End the spergout
>>540415041I didn’t make the thread, I just think you’re a faggot
>>540415124Yeah I'm sure retard
>>540414704Do you honestly think regulars here can't tell it's you everytime?No one else has this unhinged hate for the team>>540415041And no one else is such a projecting schizo thinking every reply is one anon samefaging
>>540415418Move on schizo
https://lichess.org/00DVMX6a
>>540415206Also, I don’t appreciate you shitting up the threads with your zoomer niggerspeak. No more of that.
>>540415707Move on retard
>>540415707what the fuck are you even talking about?
>>540415487gg
>>540416474Gg, I should have played Nd5 instead of Nb8 but it was lost anyway
C A N A D I A N 1 9 0 0A NADIAN1900
Do you also play drunk bullet/blitz nights, anons?From time to time, when I decide to get drunk until passing out, I make a new account at 400 on chesscum, bring it to 100 by two/three fast losses by resign, and start playing while drinking until blackout.Tonight is another drinking night. I got a bombay sapphire gin with tonic.
I played 5 cheats in 13 games but remember that cheating doesn't happen and if it does, MAYBE once in 100 games MAX
>>540417242isn't one of those a rematch?
>>540417242what time controls? and also how did you go from 1600 to 2000 in one game?
>>540417586Yeah you're right so 4 in 13, didn't pay attention>>540417589The 2000 rating was blitz, the 1600 was bullet
>Chess
>>540417826bruh how do you cheat in bullet?
Is Girl's ascent back into the top 10 the most significant chess success of the year? For a while it was looking like he was sliding into mvL tier irrelevance.
>>540418179browser extensions>>540417242yeah online chess is a rotting corpse at this point, I see it as practice for OTB and nothing else
>>540417826>400 rating difference between Blitz and BulletSuss
>>540418274he's never winning the Candidates so who cares
>>540418589It's sad but I agree, it's over. Com even recently reduced staff AFAIK so it's only going to get worse>>540418698I was on vacation visiting family and playing on my phone, if I tryhard on a desktop I'm actually higher rated at bullet than blitz. I sometimes just spam bullet on my phone as like a candy crush anxiety relief and don't actually pay attention
>>540418274No it's nothing special, it's not unusual for top players to farm the Grand Swiss and end up with an inflated rating. It was after the Grand Swiss that Alibozo Fraudloza broke "2800" and was ranked #2. Giri got favorable matchups and had a decent performance but he's still Drawish Giri, don't expect anything
I have a diamond membership and I literally never play against cheaters. So there really must be a different pool for premium players, with only 100% non-cheating players.
>>540416463I’m talking about these kinds of posts >>540413149>>540418179
>>540419894You're definitely playing them it's just a matter of them being banned. I actually stopped using the cheat report option and choose "other" so I can explain why I think they cheated and at what points, similar to on lichess, and it has a higher success rate. If you never suspect anyone and don't try to bring attention to them they might fly under the radar longer.It could also be a matter of rating, I don't know your rating but it's rare for people to be above 2000 which makes it much more common for people above that rating to be cheatingThat said I also had premium (the pic was on an alt) and I did notice they didn't give me as many new accounts and pfp-less random third world accounts, but tried to give me other premium players who seemed like real people, so I do think you're part of a better pool
i am learning to play bullet and i can't win any bullet game on anon lichess, they're all too damn strong for me :( i'm 1500 chesscom rapid
>>540420775you shouldn't be playing bullet yet dumb ass nigga. that's a time control for people who are very familiar with the game. at your level your basically just moving pieces randomly
yes bro it's always cheaters we get ityou don't need to post like you're paid by the character every time you lose a game
Reminder to always cheat against these flags.Gives them a hard dose of reality, lowers jeet rating, and will make some of them quit chess altogether.
>>540421062Nah brah haven't you read in the last thread 1300.scam is a STRONG rating so 1500 is SUPER DUPER MEGA STRONG and if you don't agree you are a fucking terminally online weirdo and comparing yourself to Magnus
>>540421212So you literally somehow manage to be a contrarian about literal proof of banned cheats, no wonder you can't be convinced of any explanation. Even when they're literally banned for cheating you're still going "Yeah sure dude all cheaters sure". What?
>>540421586if you're unironically avoiding bullet at 1500 because you're afraid it will stop you from becoming the super GM you are destined to be you're completely being cucked by anon-coaches. at some point you can just enjoy the fucking game even if it's not technically optimal by some random bozo online's idea of how you're supposed to get better.
>>540421586i feel reddit out of this post, why are you people so sarcastic and insufferable
>>540421749>>540421212
>>540421749Reddit and .scam streamers/youtubers convinced countless midwits than denying cheating makes them intelligent, they could walk in on someone cheating while fucking their mothers and they would still deny it to prove how rational and superior they are
>>540422339Lol it's so confusing. If I had posted that I thought I played 4 cheats in 13 games that guy would have been ranting about "cheating schizos", but there's literal proof for you. That's the rate you sometimes encounter them. They're really out there!
>>540399952Because in blitz, sometimes, the fast-paced time control leads to your opponent making really bad tactical oversights that result in an instant effortless victory for you, assuming equal skill and equal pattern recognition abilities. This is an unavoidable part of fast chess if the opponent wants to maximize his chances (thinking too carefully about every move really, really risks a loss by time later on), and is something that happens at all skill levels with varying frequency (see: TT blunder compilations on youtube and the like). In other words, there is always a "dice roll" with some chance of you getting an easy win."Easy rewards on a dice roll" is literally the reason people throw away thousands upon thousands of dollars on Vegas casinos hoping to win just one more time. At this point i don't even have to explain why blitz is mega fucking extremely addictive. But at least it's a healthier game mode than bullet, that's for sure.
can someone explain to me the "pastebin tranny" thing? i know it has something to do with the /tg/ /vg/ split and some mod but nothing else.
>>540420458What do you write when you report them out of curiosity? Just looking for a protocol
>>540423839Sure, something like:>Started the game at an estimated 1700 level, no knowledge of Sicilians, blundered a clean piece on move 12, took a long pause then played either top or second best Stockfish moves for the rest of the game to outclass me from a losing position. This player is not 2000 and if you look at his games there is probably a consistent difference in level between start and finish.Just something like that, it can be more succinct and particular in a real case scenario. I always get more responses doing this because I think just clicking “report cheat” goes to some automated system that says “Nah he blundered a piece” and moves on, but clicking “Other” gets actual eyes on it and can get across the nuance.
>>540424167did this ever work on your alts as well or just on your payed account?
>>540424653Yeah the pic I posted was from an alt, it worked on both
>>540424851I'm surprised they have the manpower to read all those reports from everyone but good to know I'll try it too>>540422953>italian autist is obsessed for years over his evergrowning chess pastebin(something like 1000+ links) and always having it in the OP>seemingly lurks the general 24/7 to always bake at bump limit, sometimes he samefags a bit to get there>whenever someone else makes it he accuses him of being his bogieman "the psycho" wanting to control the op(projection is one of his main traits)>this goes on for years, most don't really care some start calling him the pastebintranny and telling him to khs whenever he makes a thread, overall he's just a minor nuisance>sometime during the summer of 2023 tg gets a new janny who also lurks the thread 24/7 and deletes an insane amount of posts(60-100 every thread)>after months of this we had a vote and agreed to move to /vg/ to get away from the janny>this is when the pastebin tranny went from weird to full blown insane, he's convinced the move was orchestrated by "the psycho" to control the OP even though it had nothing to do with that or him>he stays on tg but since most people moved to vg he has to start samefagging all day to give it semblance of life>he also tries multiple times to move the general to /sp/ but it doesn't work and flags reveal the extent of his samefagging, half the posts in sp threads would have an italian flag>see https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/139171193/#139171193>meanwhile he keeps coming to /vg/ on a weekly basis to have literal schizo meltdowns where he accuses everyone of being one person samefagging and generally seething at everything>this has been going on for almost 2 years and he keeps getting more unhinged
>>540425428Yeah and I suspect they have a system that rewards accounts with successful reports with priority in the future, while people who just report everyone who beats them as cheating gets moved down a list. So for better chances only report when you’re confident
>>540425428wow ok very interesting. and holy shit that pastebin is impressively large. i actually think i remember there being a vote sometime after that hack but i didn't use either general too much then.

High quality thread.

>>540442417No, I'm larpov. PBT is several posts up.
Gonna go up to 3-0 to work on calculation
>>540425428>>whenever someone else makes it he accuses him of being his bogieman "the psycho" wanting to control the op(projection is one of his main traits)You just had a melty and started calling everyone your boogeyman because someone made a different OP, but tell us more about how projection works
So I’ve decided to give this semen slurping game a try. How long until I break 2000 in all time controls? Also, is it realistic at that point to dream of going on to become titled?
>How long until I break 2000 in all time controls?It depends on the person. Odds are you will never do that, it’s a rating that’s unachievable for the majority players who have been playing and studying for over a decade. So if you do, probably not for years. But there also people with natural talent for the game who can get that strong in just a few years. So maybe not at all, maybe tomorrow. Depends on the person.>Also, is it realistic at that point to dream of going on to become titledIf you’re the sort of person who can break 2000 in a few years probably, but those sorts of people tend to have better things to put their mind to. We had a poster here do that and then she left and went to law school. See also this bit of an interview with Magnus Carlsen:>SPIEGEL: Mr Carlsen, what is your IQ?>Carlsen: I have no idea. I wouldn’t want to know it anyway. It might turn out to be a nasty surprise.>SPIEGEL: Why? You are 19 years old and ranked the number one chess player in the world. You must be incredibly clever.>Carlsen: And that’s precisely what would be terrible. Of course it is important for a chess player to be able to concentrate well, but being too intelligent can also be a burden. It can get in your way. I am convinced that the reason the Englishman John Nunn never became world champion is that he is too intelligent for that.>SPIEGEL: How’s that?>Carlsen: At the age of 15, Nunn started studying mathematics in Oxford; he was the youngest student in the last 500 years, and at 23 he did a PhD in algebraic topology. He has so incredibly much in his head. Simply too much. His enormous powers of understanding and his constant thirst for knowledge distracted him from chess.It’s always midwit adult improoovers like /ourguy/ Stepan who decide they’re going to become titled players. Just play the game and have a good time.
>>540454048Chess.com 2000 never, but you can break lichess 2000 in just a few months
>>540454048Depends on your talent and the time you can dedicate to chess. I've seen people do it in months with autistic dedication and natural feel for the game but breaking through in like 1-2 year(s) is still good. However, most people never make it even after years and years of trying. So you just have to see if you have the talent and decide if you wanna study/practice chess like a university subject.I'm guessing the question is about online, which is easier but online ratings do not necessarily transfer to otb and you're still very far from a titled player's strength.
>>540455829Kek
>>540455898>I've seen people do it in months with autistic dedicationnobody can break 2000 in all time controls in just a few months, it’s just not humanly possible. in Rapid MAYBE (huge maybe) but not blitz and bullet
I climbed like 100 elo earlier the last two days and and I finally felt slightly good about myself but tonight I've blown like 70 of it. Holy shit I am actually subhuman filth trash fuck me. I'm at fucking 750 I am a literal fucking child
>>540458246progress is never linear anon
Love John bartholomew. Simple as
>>540456739He did it in rapid easily and he could've definitely done it in slow blitz. >bulletHe wasn't interested in speed chess, he had otb ambitions so he rightfully ignored meme tcs. I didn't know this guy well but the longer he had, the stronger he became like a true calculator. He drew an IM in a simul after faltering in a better position for example. I wonder what he's up to these days.

>>540458534It should be when your in literal retard moron league.
>>540459428you're bad at chess. that's okay. everyone is until they get better. try to enjoy the journey. if you're gonna get mad at every mistake and loss along the way, learning is going to be very hard.
>>540460416All I do all day recently is watch chess videos, or play. Yet somehow I'm worse than I was 2 years ago when I was playing more casually. It's not okay to be bad in my position, I am a failure beyond comprehension
>>540459308ENHANCE
>>540460960Take a break dude. Let things coalesce. You’re stuck in a mental chinese finger trap right now.
>>540460960Try to play games with a mindset of not losing rather than trying to win. Keep your pieces connected, don’t try to be brilliant, put your pawns on good controlling squares and try to keep a pawn chain. At your level all you have to do is wait and your opponent will start handing you pieces
>>540459242Sorry, that didn’t happen and it’s weird to lie about
>>540461090I wish it were just right now but I get this flustered over everything I play. It's a self esteem thing I guess.>>540461140This is good advise. I probably am trying too hard to find checkmates and pushing.
>>540461070I actually think it’s a great photo. Obviously she’s extraordinarily beautiful and we’d all like to get a closer look. She’s placed herself at the center of the picture, but as we get closer we realize there’s nothing to see except pixels. And as we realize this, and gradually zoom out, we better appreciate the natural beauty of the horizon, the waves, the moon, the rocks, and the stars. Really fantastic work by her
>>540462164im gonna get my binoculars out and coom to it
>>540461237nta but I know exactly who he's talking about and it's true, that guy went from blundering basic tactics to having a very positive score against me in less than 2 months, I'm 2100 lirapidHe was obviously a huge outlier but it's possibile if someone is really gifted >inb4 he was cheating or lying about being a beginnerWe analyzed every game togheter so I'm quite sure he wasn't, as for lying I could see him get better in real time so I'm inclined to belive him
>>540429910>aborting games against the majority of the worldI understand aborting against indians, but against some dude in kazakhstan or argentina? lol
>>540462164>Obviously she’s extraordinarily beautifulLooked her up thinking it's exaggarated as always, but she's actually very cute.

>>540455159>John NunnI felt that way about Luke McShane.
>>540460960>watch chess videosThere's the problem. Analyze and annotate your (not bullet and blitz) games (loses especially), study games of masters, practice tactics. Do this for hours a day, every day for a year, and you'll see improvement.

Reminder to cheat against indians so we can drive them off our hobby.
Before getting banned on plebbit, I posted a few things on r/chess.There is an function called "insights" that tells you the percentiles of countries that viewed your post.India was always like 30%-40% there lmao.
https://lichess.org/WkpzeiiFOur friend Lordbentham has lost a game of BLITZ! This happened 2 days ago. What about Rapid games, you may ask? Well, it's been 2 months since the last brilliancy. I wonder, when is he going to cheat again?
Bump with game.Not a remarkable game, but I have to give those curmudgeons at chessgames.com some credit for titling this one:>Fischer fiddles while Byrne roams.
>>540483836What did you post to get banned?>India was always like 30%-40% there lmao.Racist posts are the only reason it hasn't gotten that bad here too, do your part to always remind them they are filthy subhumans and don't belong here

Wish lichess had a flag culture like chess.com, I'd love to know the indians and other assorted subhumans I get paired up with so I could more easily cheat and take back the elo they've stolen.

>>540495458pastebin tranny, the guy that made chess threads in /tg/.Besides him and laprov, I think the only other boogieman at /chess/ is catmixer.
What was the drama about anon challenges that made people stop playing them and abort?
>>540498702catmixer used to post them while avatarfagging and many thought he was cheating in themruining them for everyone over that is retarded and I'm glad to see them getting posted again
>>540500037Cheating or not, he was also obnoxious on a personal level.
>>540500524I agree but anyone who abort anon challenges on the off chance it's catmixer is a giant faggot
>be completely winning>did something retarded in a winning position a few moves from mate>be in a losing endgame>set up the position in stockfish and move a few times until you're equal>then play by your own and winI just became a cheater, but the nigger didn't deserve the win, I played against an indian.
>>540507874cope cheatfag
>>540508615Becoming evil to destroy even greater evil is not evil by necessity.
>>540507874>>540508778all cheaters are niggers and jeets spiritually no rationalization will change the facts>>540481886same for you, humans simply abort against streetshitters cheating lowers you to their subhuman level
>>540509297I do not agree. When there is evil in this world that sole justic does not manage to defeat, you should be ready to taint your hands with evil to destroy evil. There is no justice in surrendering to evil, therefore just is becoming evil yourself, if it is to defeat evil.
>>540509539I guarantee you are gonna do that against humans too soon or more likely you already have, you just want an excuse to cheat
>>540510067This will not happen. I will not let myself be corrupted by something so shallow. Cheating against animals if they do not deserve the win is fine. I was not playing a human being. Had I fought a human, I would have laughed at my own stupidity and proceeded to play by myself, or resigned like an honourable man, wishing my opponent a nice day.
>delude yourself into believing [insert outgroup here] is constantly doing [bad thing]>"well, they're doing it so we have to too!!!!">start doing [bad thing]the very illogic responsible for much of the erosion of civil society today, thank you for playing your part comrade!
>>540512117I am not suggesting they are doing it so I have to do it too. I am suggesting they are evil per se peccatum, by itself, and it is not sinful to destroy evil with evil, for true justice needs to taint the hands to destroy the evil from time to time.
>>540512793>erm, I actually believe something even MORE retarded than you're suggestingthank you for clearing that up
>>540476709This is good advise, I shouldn't consider videos to be effective learning even if I do pick up tips
>>540512793Becoming more and more based each post
Why the extreme hate against indians? Genuinely curious.
https://lichess.org/jlN4NxNAbeen playing like shit all day though
>>540514529In chess they cheat at a infinitely higher rate than humans and they tend to engage in all the most scummy behaviours never resigning,running down the clock, spamming draw offers in lost positions etcOutside of chess it should be self explanatory to anyone who has even interacted with one be it in person or online, but here's a feature length documentary about themhttps://odysee.com/@montysthinkingoutsidethebox:2/India-The-Worst-Country-On-Earth-Codex-Pajeet-II:ccYou can skip through it and get the several reasons to despise them in a couple minutes
Jesus, I play like shit today. I blunder everything left and right, I play rapid games as if they are some hyperbullet shit. I know a move is retarded and dumb, but "it's fun" and I do it, and suddenly I'm lost. Why the fuck am I doing this to myself?And I don't bother to calculate, I don't want to calculate anything.

>>540533590I am currently on the retard mode, I have lost every single game and haven't gotten a simple puzzle. I feel as if I lost 1000 elo tonight. Days like that happen.I would immediately take cxd4 without even thinking or calculating. I assume you did the same
>press button to resign>well let's see>move king around>here you go boss a shiny new ELO on the house!!!!!!!>hey thirdie................thanks
>>540533309I started as a noob playing Spanish but over time moved to Italian
>>540533781if you didnt resign you are the spiritual thirdie
>>540534163Was it worth it? Tell me more, I'm thinking about moving from Spanish to Italian. I'm 1400 and stuck.
>>540533590Nxe4 probs
>>540534239If you're 1400 you're better than me lmao. Italian has just felt more consistent, gives you quicker development because you're not repositioning your bishop 10 times early on
>>540534239Nta but the shitalian is super low theory at shitter level.
>>540533309Italian is a better practical choice at the shitter level imo. It is very punishing against common amateur mistakes. Spanish is good, but many many times when i tried playing it i ran into something by my opponent that just made me go "god i wish my bishop was on c4 instead".
>>540533720I played Nxe4, which turned out to be more retarded than playing on instincts and auto taking on d4.
>>540533590Nxe4... d5 Na5 b4 cxb4 cbx4 maybe? idk anon tell us
>>540534701Damn anon you are more retarded than me then.
>>540533590>>540534701i dont get itisnt that a free pawn on nxe4?
>>540412892as was stated last thread this is an ongoing years long issue where there’s one weirdo who insists on making every thread and he malds whenever he doesn’t get one. it’s what caused endless arguments and split threads on tg. >>540425428and i see we are back to zoomers LARPing as internet detectives who backtraced the guy! always sad as fuck. entire internet at this point is just zoomers pretending it’s the good old days.
>>540535183no because of d5 and once my c6 knight moves qa4+ will win my e4 knight
>>540533781>shiny new ELOI hope it was Discovery, I like that one.
>>540535463i didn't see thati will never be good at this stupid fucking game

>>540535595dont worry i am still somehow 1700 so you can succeed even as a retard>>540535863fire
>>540534220Incorrect on every level It is the thirdie that can't conceive of the game beyond material consideration, this is the foundation from which the thirdie is constructed.Thus they leave the game when they are suddenly losing being up material. Its nothing beyond not being physically capable of mentally processing such a possibility.Pic related, you would've resigned like a good lil goy when you were down material as white here while I found an advantage with ease and checkmated the worthless thirdie
>>540536626there's a difference between being down an exchange and a pawn while your opponent's king is in danger vs having only a king and pawns vs an opponent with a queen + bishop. that sentence may have been poorly constructed and somewhat difficult to parse though.
>>540537068How about this one? Should I have resigned instead of winning on time? I can run them all by you now
>>540538096you still had a queen and i assume your opponent was low on time so continuing there makes sense. i am not >>540534220 though only >>540537068 just fyi
where did this retarded <2000 elo zoomer come from and why is he spamming the thread non stop?
What is even this discussion about? It all depends on your rating and the time control. If the opponent has like 5 minutes + and the position looks like this >>540538096 there's no way I'm not resigning if my opponent is not a super bad player.If I am in a 3-minute game and my opponent's time is nearing its end, sure I will play it out.
the better i become at calculation and spotting ideas the more my chesstempo standard rating dropsi hate the problem generation algorithm so bad
low level chess is great because you can blunder a king queen fork and your opponents just never see it
>>540539141Your ideas are hope chess and your calculations are wishful thinking. Only possible explanation.
>>540539271I have the most fun when I play super drunk at my low elo drunk account. I just play the most retarded shit while listening to nightcore remixes and dancing to the rhythm.
>play like shit the whole day>brainfog, everything missed, lost like 10 in a row before you stopped>now, 1 AM, drunk as fuck, listening to EDM nightcore>destroying everyone in bullet, 6 win streakI feel like a king.
>>540481758Cute but it's a 1650 chesstempo equivalent
>>540539370No man istg, it's all silly shit like "oh you went up an exchange and cleared the pressure on your stranded piece well actually after the 4*2 move line unfolded white has a passer on the 6th rank so its a DRAW!" or stupid 50/50 king moves that I don't even feel like calculating and actually end up playing by feelIstg my raw calculation and visualization right now is limpid like the gentle rain that draws a rainbow in the sky of a warm summer afternoon, grouping into a glass made of crystal
I never calculate. I simply know what the best move is then play it

>>540562853Immediately basically, why do you ask?
>>540535863I was there the day the strength of /chess/ failed. I led Troonsildor into the heart of /tg/, where the General was forged, the one place It could be destroyed! It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. Troonsildor kept the general. The team of basket weavers is broken. There's no strength left in the world of /chess/. They're scattered, divided, leaderless.
>>540501251Every anon challenge is catmixer and should be aborted immediately.
>>540562853Instantly, although i gotta admit that if i did play it instantly i would be panicking for a second thinking i hung my knight on c6
>>540562853Bf5?
>lose a bunch of 15 minute games in a row>think to myself "it's alright, i just gotta analyze what i did wrong and play better this time">start another game, get paired with someone lower rated but "never underestimate your enemy">pic relatedI am a joke to them. Holy fuck. With opposition like this, even the chesscom algorithm is calling me pathetic at this point.

It's interesting how sometimes stockfish seems retarded in endgames, here it gives queening as winning when even a shitter like me could tell at glance it isn't because after Bxc8 the knight is needed to stop the f pawn and white has no advantage to speak offI wonder if it's just a bug or if it's banking on some line I'm not even considering after Bxc8 it's a tablebase position so I can't see what stockfish was planning on doing
>>540586767it’s because you’re using browserfish
>>540587124How so?
>>540562853Took me a good minute of discarding taking the knight and nbd7 to see the bishop attacking he queen, however in a game I'd see it immediately
>>540586767My browser fish says queening draws
Hey lichess give me some easy puzzles to warm uphttps://lichess.org/training/VNNc6https://lichess.org/training/CRc18>There you go bro easy peasyas long as you play the obvious moves without thinking, oh you want to calculate before moving?fuck you then faggot!>Have this one too it's not underrated at all I promise! https://lichess.org/training/tt2dNOk lichess kinda shitty puzzles but whatever I'm starting to warm up give me some more challenging ones now>Say no more senpai!https://lichess.org/training/K4NKPhttps://lichess.org/training/hhw1zhttps://lichess.org/training/SJun0>Here these are much harder than the last ones!I'm never doing puzzles on lichess again what a fucking retarded joke of a site, I'll pirate some easy tactics book to warm up and use chesstempo for the challenging ones, It's unbelievable that I'm tilted harder than I've ever got after losing a game by the fucking rating of puzzles of all things, seriously fucking this gay pozzed commie site
>>540596757>as long as you play the obvious moves without thinking, oh you want to calculate before movingif the moves are obvious why do you need to calculate?
>>540596757>https://lichess.org/training/tt2dNseems like a good puzzle to me and involves calculation?
>>540597330They are obvious in the sense that they are the most natural not in the sense that it's obvious they work>https://lichess.org/training/CRc18 A lot of people go "grug me give check then me take tempo on the queen grug grug" without thinking and stockfish kindly gives them the queen massively deflating the puzzle rating while the other lines aren't so obvious, not saying that it's super hard to see the problems for white after 28...Qc8 Qxa7 followed by ... Qc5 and I'm also to blame for initially stopping my calculation at qc8 but it's not 1900lipuzzle level or even 2300 level stuff>>540597548That one is a fine puzzle albeit underrated but I was tilted by wasting so much time on the previous 2 and decided to mindlessly play the natural move thinking "fuck it lichess just punishes you for thinking", got in wrong and tilted even moreThen I switched to higher difficulty and it started giving me the easiest shit ever which sent me into feral rage for some reason, I'm still seething hard 30 minutes later
>>540564078Agreed.
>>540596757Yes, that feeling of wasting time looking at diagrams for 5 min or even more to get the fucking puzzle wrong gets me every time. I always try to see the bright side and say something like " Ok, I didn't see that, let's learn this pattern and understand how it works" If you want to have a nice book, try pic related... but you will get mad at certain points because sometimes the author decides that you have to calculate the blunder to see the real answer, something like >answer: b4 ... Qh4>but the beautiful tactic comes if Ra1???and that gets me angry as fuckA great book is the Anthology of Chess Combinations by Matanovic, look it up on Internet Archives and such
>>540596757how the fuck does lichess manage to mindbreak retards so consistently? it's amazing.
Why is the Endgame Variation in Caro-Kann so favourable for White? Lichess database has 42% wins for White and 44% draws.
>>540609497It's a masters database, not a lichess database. It isn't favourable for normal online games, just for masters GM games. They prefer this line. King is safe without queens and white has some initiative.
>>540609497>endgameI guess we'll have to wait for the 28-piece tablebases to reveal the truth.

https://chessreads.com/#Stjepans new website
>>540626939how much of a market is there for chess? because there's no way there's a demand for all this shit everyone's pushing. I swear every chess person has their own chess thing they're trying to promote.
>>540629972I think its fairly massive. Any difficult hobby where people think if they spend money on it they'll get better can easily squeeze out a couple thousand from each of those people in a few years.You don't need to pay for that website though it's just book reviews
>>540626939Not a bad concept, once it gets a large volume of reviews and a variety of reviewers it could be a really useful siteI suspect all the ratings are way too low because Stjepan is so autistic about chess he can't get how much effort the average person is willing to put in, I gave up on Endgame Strategy by Shereshevsky 100 pages in cause it had too little annotations and it felt above my level as a 2000.scam, he has it as 1000-2200
>>540609497that database is useless, it has engine games in it
>>540635080So what?
>>540633080Yeah he put aagaard calculation as 1800+, the problems are so hard they're basically unsolvable, pretty much engine slop tier.
>winning>blunder your rook to a knight fork
Oh noo haha that sucks
>>540644868I am sure I would miss that shit as black lol
>>540638032engine vs engine is always a draw hence 44% draws
>>540644868its best to put the king in the center of the board where it controls key squares
I was happy about this game because I managed to beat a 1600+ player as a 1400 scrub, but now that I look at it, it seems like the guy just blundered in the opening and decided to troll the game, there's no way 1600s play like that :(

I love this Building Habits series. I was thinking chess was all about finding "le best move" and aphorisms like "when you see a good move, look for better." But GM Hambleton has shown me that the real way to win in online blitz chess is just to focus on developing your pieces, hanging some pawns, trading down into a losing endgame, and then winning or drawing in time trouble. I just gained over 100 points (over 1350 Chess.com blitz) following this simple strategy every game, and I feel like the sky's the limit.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8N8j2e7RpPlSPzEcaZx6YFLxVjQmvJtyIn fact, according to the Chess.com game review, I just beat a 2200 level player following these habits.

Playing online chess as a white person is like the scene in Apocalypse Now when Martin Sheen gets to the savages and they’re all hooting and hollering and waving Stockfish and spears
... is what I tell myself in tears after I lost my third game in a row to a third world flag+unsound opening combo (I should auto win if the evaluation of an opening is more than +1)
>>540676732This is online we're talking about... Here's an example of how. The secret to winning at online chess at this level is always trading down to a losing endgame.

Is King's Indian a good defense for beginners?
>>540688713its the grunfelds little cuck brother that gets no pussy
imagine actually being a firouza fan and having a teeny tiny little dick and a BMI of 34. Be a magnas fan. Have a big dick .
>>540688713No. It’s a hypermodern opening, which is a school of openings that allows Black to take over the board and get an advantage while Black intends to undermine and outplay them. It’s played by strong players trying to avoid a draw against weaker opponents, and creating chances for both sides. Beginners are not able to undermine White’s position effectively and just get run over. You should be playing a Queen’s Gambit or the Slav.
>>540690081*that allows White to take over the board and Black to try to outplay them
>>540690171Didn’t really need the clarification it was obvious what you meant. I disagree on saying new players shouldn’t play it (or any other offbeat opening) because there’s a chance they’ll get run over. If they have any sort of mental and emotional strength getting BTFO is the best way to learn. But I’ve noticed this general tends to be extremely weak minded and has in the inability to humble themselves
>>540690081Will look into the Slav then.>>540690770I'm willing to lose a few to learn a new opening
>>540690867do the semi slav if you prefer sex without a condom
>>540690770You don’t get better at the KID by getting BTFO, you get better by being a strong player who understands positions. All you’ll accomplish by spamming the KID as Black is losing until you change your mind and decide to play something more solid. Losing while playing more solidly is good to be able to study because the reasons you lost are more concrete, you will not understand why you lost in a KID and what to do better. You have to raise your baseline ability before you can even realize you’re blundering, let alone stop blundering. It’s basically the same as a driving a Lamborghini for your first car, sure you can make it go and turn onto roads and you feel like you’re driving, next thing you know you’re splattered on a tree. >But I’ve noticed this general tends to be extremely weak minded and has in the inability to humble themselvesIt’s actually you who needs to be humble, chess doesn’t reward chest-thumping Brads who think they’ll just brute force the game with pure aura. Drive a few cars before your first Lambo or get bent around a tree, your choice.
>>540691720>Drive a few cars before your first Lambo or get bent around a tree, your choice.You misunderstand my point. The beauty of chess is that the stakes are not that high. Becoming a Max Verstappen is much more rare because the threat of death is very real and the basics of safety need to be taught early because people’s lives are at stake. In chess, it is completely different, you can afford to lose in dumb and speculative ways game after game as long as you are willing to learn from them.That said, I am only arguing this point in principle alone. I think the KID is an opening for faggots and people shouldn’t play it generally. But that’s besides the point.
>>540691720>chest-thumping Brads who think they’ll just brute force the game with pure aurathats exactly how it works actually but you wouldnt know because youre a beta male
>>540692763The risk of losing in the KID isn’t death, but it *is* stunting your development by not learning the fundamentals before you try to play advanced concepts that are over your head and will remain over your head after you’ve lost.
>>540692990So how would playing any other opening, where they are defeated by a master player and their loss is simply incomprehensible to them and they will never improve (I don’t believe this, but it seems to be your belief), any different?
>>540693517First of all, there is no reason for them to be playing “master players”, they would be beginners playing beginners. Second I already explained this, in order to get better at chess you have to start by learning the fundamentals, which results concrete chess. Once you know how to play concrete chess, you are someone who understands positions and correct piece placement. At that point, because you know the rules, you can break them. If you’re not learning the fundamentals because you’re already breaking the rules that you don’t even know, all you’re doing is losing games you could have won and not learning anything from them. And to answer your question, even losing to a master in a concrete game would work as a lesson, because the reasons you lost aren’t as complicated and abstract.
Picrel is an example of a common KID line. Beginners are taught to correctly develop their pieces and put their pawns on controlling squares. Their games are then meant to be about contesting control of the center, like most chess games, at all levels. Thus, they learn how to play chess.At a higher level, players can play like picrel and intentionally break the opening rules to create a game with imbalance where they can play for a win as Black by initially ceding Whitw an advantage. There is no reason for a beginner to do this. You are not sufficiently acquainted with the rules to break them. You very frequently put pieces on the wrong squares, push the wrong pawns, don’t understand pawn breaks. You have other priorities than learning how to play hypermodern chess like you’re Garry Kasparov avoiding a draw.

>>540626939Has he even read all those books? It takes me months to read a single chess book because I go over every position autistically and I go backwards to test my memory kinda like a manual spaced repetition thing. I mean, he has Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual on there and even Carlsen hasn't read it from cover to cover.I knew a guy from /lit/ whose Goodreads had thousands of books "read" but it turned out he hadn't even read most of them. I knew this when I talked to him about certain books that I had actually read that were also in his "read" list. I knew something was off when he had big tomes like Marx's Capital, Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit, Whitehead's Process and Reality listed. Books like these, and Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, take years to read and a lifetime to understand, so it's an easy tell.
>>540701790I remember him claiming he goes through a chess book a week on the perpetual chess podcast, you are right that it's hard to believe but chess is basically his full time job so it might be possible
I love how noobies always pin the knight in the opening with such aplomb. They’re always like blam-o! Game over! And then the game continues and they become slower and confused

Beginner here. How do you guys "abort" thirdies? You resign on the spot, tanking your ELO? Surely not?
>>540724350Before you do your first move, you can abort the game. It's the same button as resignation, but before you move, it is called "abort".You just stop the game before it begins, you don't lose elo if you don't do it like 5 times in a row.
>>540701790I'd bet he's read the words on the pages of 35% of the endgame manual. I can see stjepan coping hard enough to convince himself that he is understanding it and its a good use of his time
>>540725073Oh that's good to know, thanks. I guess I'm gonna save >>540429910 then. Might be useful.
>>540724350> How do you guys "abort" thirdies?Depends how far along the mother is
>>540727456Aborting India Indonesia and Saudi Arabia is good enough
>>540727456Yeah, remember this >>540727761You don't need to abort against some south american dudes or even african nigs, they just want to play chess, but I swear to God indians, indonesians and saudis are the fucking worst
>>540729993Alright so based on what you guys are saying ITT I should abort:>Algeria (duh)>Bangladesh>Egypt>India (duh)>Indonesia>Jordan>Malaysia>Morocco (duh)>Pakistan>Romania>Saudi Arabia>Tunisia (duh)>Ukraine (why?)Did I miss anything or was a country falsely flagged? Discuss.
>>540730908No need to ban Romania and Ukraine. Eastern European countries are full of old chess club grandpas who just want to play the game. But the rest, yes.
>>540731128Thanks.I made a handy cheatsheet (get it?)
>>540683560the basedfrog is playing black and just won>>540699710is that not theory?>>540732398>not knowing the flags by heart
>>540732398looks good
>>540734913Thanks. Here it is for verticalfags. And yeah I added a div just to fill in the blank space.
How is the bird literally never played at the top level? Is there a reputation? Seems to me as good as any opening to play for a win
>>540736368Refutation*
>>540727456you can only do it so many times in a row and the more you do it the quicker it will take to turn into resign, so remember to always hover on the button and make sure it says abort and not resign,I only do india indonesia and pakistan, mudslimes cheat a lot too but I'd risk it with them than abort them and then not being able to abort a jeet next game
>>540736368You can just go for English that doesn't lose you 0.3 points in the first move. Bird weakens your kingside significantly and what do you do beside fighting for the center? you don't open literally any pieceenglish doesn't do any of the flawsopens your queen, doesn't weaken your kingside, still fights, and the pawn there is almost always good, then the knight goes in and you just play chesssure it doesn't suck for club players and online rapid blitz, but i wouldn't play that in a tournament game
>>540736526Thanks for the heads-up, anon. Will keep that in mind.
>>540736368I assume all of these are rapid or blitz thoughtbeitever
Does playing the London and Caro cause permanent damage to one's tactical vision? Is it possible to undo the damage by playing mainline Scotch and Sicilian?
>>540736947>LondonIs it really that good? I'm a noob and don't know shit, but I checked the London yesterday and it looked like it took forever to setup properly.
>>540736526from my experience, it's super rare to abort more than twice in a rowi've never aborted 3 times in a row and i abort most muslim countries + the obvious ones like india, indonesia
The ultimate gambit in chess is the new account gambit.Almost guaranteed they're a cheater but if you win you get the unmitigated joy of watching their elo crash
>>540736947Caro, not really, it's a good opening that can lead to interesting positionsLondon, yes, it brainrots you, especially if you're a new player. >>540737206 You should never play system openings like the london if you're new, you just repeat the same shit without understanding why or how to actually play the opening phase of the game. Just e4, develop your pieces and play chess.
>>540737870>Just e4, develop your pieces and play chess.That's what I do, chief.I need to understand the game before repeating patterns.
>>540738042Good for you, you'll improve fast.
>>540737554It happened to me several times but I also abort all accounts that are less than 6 months old
>>540738375I hope so.
>why haven't you subscribed to my website yet, anon?
>>540736947No, this is a meme take. Caro especially is a 100% legit normal opening just like any other. London is for people who don't want to learn much theory but if you're a beginner or even an intermediate no one knows much theory anyway. People think that because you premove the first 3 moves with London it somehow plays itself which is just not true
>>540746716Alright, buckle up, because this is too good. Have you ever seen Levy Rozman, a.k.a. GothamChess, and Leon Trotsky in the same room? No? Suspicious, right? I mean, seriously, the resemblance is uncanny. It's like Trotsky went through a time warp, landed in Brooklyn, and decided, "Forget the revolution, I'm gonna teach people the Sicilian Defense!"The hair, the beard, that intense stare that could either checkmate you or overthrow a government—it's all there. And let's be real, it's not just a visual thing. Have you ever noticed how Levy breaks down complex chess strategies with the same fervor Trotsky used to dissect Marxist theory? It's like he's not just teaching you how to win at chess; he's preparing you for the inevitable proletariat uprising... on the 64 squares.Now, I'm not saying Levy is secretly plotting a communist revolution from his streaming setup, but the resemblance does make you wonder, doesn't it? Is he really just a chess teacher, or is he waiting for the opportune moment to seize the means of pawn production? I mean, come on, with a face like that, you can't blame people for questioning his character!
>>540746716I'm an adult with a 3 digit iq and a 4 digit rating
>>540748526is this chatgpt?
>>540754417GPT isn't witty.

I will make it, bros. I will make 1500.

>>540754558That post is by gpt tho.
>>540750139>and a 4 digit ratingBecause you bought his book, right?
>>540754558It isn't but it tries to be in an awkward way. I was mostly put off by these elements:>Levy Rozman, a.k.a. GothamChessit doesn't seem necessary to say that, most would call him one or the other and the people on this board would understand. it seems like something gpt would write, in order to apply to a greater audience.>It's like Trotsky went through a time warp, landed in Brooklyn, and decided "Forget the revolution, I'm gonna teach people the Sicilian Defense!"There's nothing too offending about this sentence, just the way it is formed sounds like gpt's "creative writing." Aswell as this, the Sicilian isn't what Levy is known for, so it just seems like a popular chess opening was inserted in there.>The hair, the beard, that intense stare that could either checkmate you or overthrow a government--it's all there.Again sounds like gpt-ish "creative writing" that a real person might not write.>And let's be real, it's not just a visual thing. Have you ever noticed how Levy breaks down complex chess strategies with the same fervor Trotsky used to dissect Marxist theory? It's like he's not just teaching you how to win at chess; he's preparing you for the inevitable proletariat uprising... on the 64 squares.The entire paragraph seems to me like #relatable "witty" gpt writings that don't even make sense. The levy glazing only adds to it. >Now, I'm not saying Levy is secretly plotting a communist revolution from his streaming setup, but the resemblance does make you wonder, doesn't it? Is he really just a chess teacher, or is he waiting for the opportune moment to seize the means of pawn production? I mean, come on, with a face like that, you can't blame people for questioning his character!more funny-guy-gptisms. I guess it's kind of hard to put into words what exactly makes me think it's not written by a person, it's just a "feeling" to ChatGPT's output that you begin to sense after seeing it in enough places.
>>540756543Felt like some Plebbit pasta to me but what do I know, really. Since GPT is trained on Reddit it's kinda hard to tell them apart sometimes.
>>540756927Right. A lot of the supposed "AI" mannerisms are really just obnoxious mannerism that I've "imitated" long since the advent of "ChatGPT."

Favorite response to 1. d4? I've been playing the slav but I've been getting annoyed with how claustrophobic it can feel sometimes (I may simply be fucking it up).

>>540768860Cheers, just opened a bottle of wine.
>>540771572I'm drinking gin with tonic, 1/2. Cheers.
>>540771695I might need to catch up a bit before we play.
>>540764586no, get cigars or cigarillos instead
>>540770052Fischer chose the KIA. Any further questions?
Is there any trick to checkmating in a reasonable timeframe when the opponent has a queen?I just had a game where the opponent had a queen, and I had a queen and two rooks, literally nothing else on the board other than the kings. But they just wasted as much time as possible bouncing around doing every check they could on my king until I ran out of time. It's a common pattern for me.
>>540774943Try to get your king safe first, then pressure any weak pawns and pick them off. If ever you can get a queen trade off do it, and if you can harrass the enemy king do so as you will probably checkmate or win pawns.
>>540774943>checkmating in a reasonable timeframe>the opponent had a queenYour first order of business should be to exchange queens, not to checkmate. Make a little fortress of pieces around your king to avoid checkmates then try to exchange the queens off the board
>>540775146There were no pawns on the board. Trying to get my king safe is essentially the problem, whenever I start trying any kind of checkmating pattern the queen then comes out to check my king and it all turns into a jumble again.>>540775303This makes sense and is what I was attempting, but I guess I was doing it wrong somehow. I'd have my pieces next to the king so every time I was checked they'd block, but then the queen can just rotate around again forever, or even back to where the piece was originally blocking back and forth to try and force a draw.
Maybe it's because I'm shitty, but 960 is either a one-sided slaughter or the most intense tactical battle of my life, no in-between. Blunders are 10x more devastating in 960.
>>540775818No pawns on the board? Just huddle your king so you can get 1 free move then there's surely a checkmating sequence.
>>540776058I've never played 960. I already have enough problems with normal chess
https://lichess.org/Av1t76Vi
>>540779552Same. I'll play 960 the day I beat Magnus.

Hello /chess/I’ve just published an article detailing my run to achieve a Bilateral Undefeated Proof (BUP): 111 Wins against Online Humans and 111 Wins against AI models on the same platform.That’s 222 games with 0 losses and 0 draws.This proof was executed with extreme efficiency. My total time recorded on the app for all 222 games was 8 hours and 33 minutes, meaning my average time per game was less than 2 minutes and 18 seconds. This wasn't just a challenge; it was an exploration of how the human cognitive anchor (Chess = Life) can achieve superior, high-speed consistency against both human psychology and computational strength. For the full breakdown of the philosophy, my Engine-Level conclusion, and how these results were achieved, please read the full story on Medium: https://medium.com/@andrejbracun/the-1-in-8-billion-human-my-journey-at-the-edge-of-human-ai-limits-a9188f3e7defI'm here to answer any questions about the BUP methodology or my cognitive process.
>>540819516I have been working on this project for 2 years. I had to play WOS which is a hiiiigjly pay to win game - a true money pit for a year to get the "annual report" and finish at x>99.96% of 30-50k people in the server.I had to beat ChatGPT on Carlsen lvl strength [2800 ELO+] I forced him into making an illegal moves PGN is included, in the proof section - my move accuracy was 95.0%I had to achieve 96% winrate online in 1/0 bullet chess with N=800+ gamesI had to force a LLM to a logical breakdown during a philosophical debateI had to achieve 18.0 kill to death ratio in a 1st person shooterI had to ahieve 222 consecutive wins No slips. .no fall in concentration My screentime for the app im which I achieved that is 8h33m Exactly statistically split in half 111 vs AI 111 vs random human [you dont know who you play when you press new game on the platform]And yes I actually did all that.

I did that just yesterday I wanted to share my story and all my hard work to exactly the sceptics like you, my friend.Back to your comment The irony of the whole matter is as follows;Ofc I've shared my life's work so to say to persons close to me IRL But here comes the catch.Person 1 is my father in law - he is a live confirmed witness for the Carlsen lvl match vs AI [ChatGPT] You see it was HIM that was :moving the pieces: for the AI .on the chess board. Cause you play via chess notation with him/itAnyway..Person 2 is my wife which who I live for 9 years nowAND! , because I now have a clear[er] estimate of your IQ, you will understand immediately:I do not have what would you call "friends" IRL I never did.

Petrosian could do this, Fischer did that because this and that.Nigga, where do they take all of this from while being this rating? I never understand master games when I watch them.
>>540874679>polish>most popular chess "teacher" is sub 2000You surely have guys with a much better ELO doing YT vids.
>>540876847Yeah, I didn't say he is the best. The best would be GM Milosz Szpar or GM Igor Janik. But he is the most popular one, with tons of subs and videos.I cannot comprehend how a sub-2000 can talk with authority about master games. Dude has tons of these videos from 7 years ago when he was way lower than today, even.Anyway, I finally achieved higher rating than him, so I'm happy.
