Maybe he's missing the mentality of keeping the pressure on the neck when he's up. Maybe he's mentally tired which can lead to lack of conversions and vulnerabilities down the line. Depression is a bitch huh...

How can anyone watch Hikaru's stream? He's insufferable.
>>
>>544282682
That's the neat thing, You don't!
I think he captured the attention if drooling normies that want slop fed to them, he's only popular because he's a blabber mouth that feeds surface level noise commentary to chess.
People should start classing "noise" youtubers because zoomers and boomers alike are using non-short-form content as background noise these days to numb themselves.

>>
now that the dust has settled, was winning the world championship the worst thing to ever happen to ding in his life?
>>
>>544282089
He peaked at #2 FIDE classical, but couldn't maintain it and went down to like #20. I don't know what causes that compared to other players who were very consistent over many years.
>>
I'm starting to actually like Hans, although I did originally think he might have cheated against Magnus. He actually is a top chess talent
>>
>lose match
>go home in shame
>get beat with slipper
>>
>>544283339
Yeah it's very relatable kek.
Sometimes if I play rapid or solve long puzzles, I start playing blitz incorrectly - actually calculating everything and getting crushing positions, but with way too much time usage, giving me insufficient time to convert without blundering
>>
>>544283023
Yeah. I mean, just look at how sub-amoeba level early AI dominated chess even before current data center and gov't aid nvidia GPU jerking trying to fasttrack a superAI. Just proves that although the emotional nuances of chess seems deep because odds can change on a whim and you always have to be cautious, objectively it might be better if you're a bit of an ignorant, pigheaded dumbass because you just relentlessly attack, calculate, use cheap gimmicks like being tricky while down, and rely on learned experience instead of being immersed in the feeling of playing chess.
>>
>>544283531
I've been really surprised with Hans. Like I recall thinking during that in-person computer tournament that even though Hans was getting wrecked, he was still getting wins against some of the best players in the world, and that impressed me.
>>
>>544283514
>weakmind
I know this is a meme but intelligence isn't enough for a sport like this. He's too timid and overthinking. His attitude is actually causing him objective issues. Magnus is very intelligent but he's gives off more intuitive talent vibes than Ding who seems more a thinker, he doubts himself too much. Meanwhile Magnus stated before that he almost immediately has an instinctive knowledge of the next move and his "calculation" is just him checking if his instinct is right and if he missed anything. I think this is the right way instead of being overtly cautious.

yeah, he's a bit of a goof. i think most of the danya stuff was sent to him by someone else that didn't want to expose themselves and thought they had a better shot with kramnik's "authority". he's a terrible presenter and all of the "evidence" is basically tainted now because it's associated with his boomer ass.

What I don't get is why foids, instead of grieving by themselves like a normal person, decides to "catch" the moment by turning on the camera the same way you reach for a hankerchief when you're about to sneeze.
Why must the feel compelled to broadcast their moment of emotional turmoil?
I would understand if it was see news>grief>calm down>decide to make tribute. If during that tribute you break down again, then ok, but it feels like a lot of women do this when they're already riled up instead of being solemn going into it. If it was a livestream it'd also be more understandable.

I guess that begs the question of what "can mate" means. Because the king cannot move anywhere on the next move. Do you just mean sufficient material, or could have mated from the previous postition, or what?

>>
>>544324510
this is fundamentally correct but it won't ever change because changing it would only benefit players who made an objective mistake.
but you are right, and it is true that stalemate being a draw is fucking retarded logically speaking.
but also, somehow it's a perfect rule for chess because it fits in with the whole "i am very smart" vibe that chess players love to give off
"ackshually, you are very bad in comparison to me, and if you weren't so bad and stupid, this wouldn't have happened to you!! KEK!"
>>
>>544336992
Every game is a stalemate though. Whoever is more stale loses.
>>
>>544337331
>but you are right, and it is true that stalemate being a draw is fucking retarded logically speaking.
True. It should be a win for the person getting stalemated since the other person is the one who made the mistake.
>>
>>544338285
This.
>>
>>544338285
nah. you already made more mistakes by getting your pieces in a position where you literally can't even make any moves without automatically losing the game
to my point about the "i am very smart" bit, chess players tend to frame stalemates like how you're doing and how this post did:
>>544325008
but, you could just as easily flip it on the person who can't move their pieces. why should they be rewarded with a draw? yes, the last person to make a move caused stalemate and therefore the stalemate is "their fault" in an immediate sense, but the fact is, you cannot move your pieces because you got owned to the point of... not being able to move your pieces. so why do you get rewarded with the avoidance of a loss? you deserve to lose even more than the other player "doesn't deserve to win"
>>
>>544338774
>you could just as easily flip it
And since we can flip it endlessly, that's why it's a draw.

so he would use his coaching as a cover for these burner accounts that he would then lose against himself to increase his elo? lmao

How do you learn to focus less on the Ws and Ls and more on the improvement as a player?

The fifth and final game of the 73rd Oza title match is being played, between Takumi Ito (sente) and Sota Fujii (the Oza title holder). The time control is 5 hours per player, and the match is a best of 5 (tied at 2-2).
The opening was double wing attack.

>>544361476
That's where game-analysis comes into play. Analyze the games that you lose and understand what your blunder was. If you were playing accurately and lost because you didn't see a bishop that was on the corner of the board, well then you know that you just need more practice absorbing and looking at the entire board-state. If you blundered because you miss-calculated a sequence of captures, you can work on that. Same with a missed tactic, do more puzzles, etc.

Winning/Losing means nothing. Understanding where you went wrong (or where your opponent went wrong) is what matters for improvement. Before like 1500 games are won not by playing well, but by blundering less than your opponent.
>>
>>544337331
>>544336992
>>544332310
You have to be pretty bad to get this heated over accidental stalemate. It really should almost never happen. Literally just pay attention.
>>
>>544361960
btw this also matters for the games that you win. Sometimes you think you made a really good move that you thought about for a long time that you think was really good and think you won the game because of it, then you check the engine and realize that it was actually a blunder but your opponent was also huffing paint and it still worked out for you.
>>
>>544362171
I think it's a mistake to look at a move like that after the fact and beat yourself up about not finding the refutation. A move that is technically wrong or even outright losing according to the fish is still good in the moment depending on time control and your level. Like it may be bad but the reason it's bad is so hard to find it would require your opponent to tank several minutes of clock to work out. I try not to get upset about that in analysis. If the refutation is pretty simple and definitely something I should have found, yes, I label that as a big mistake and try to work on the blind spot in my calculation that caused it.

getting heated is normal if u have ovary having tier emotions and passions for something that u use for fuel

>"ackshually, you are very bad in comparison to me, and if you weren't so bad and stupid, this wouldn't have happened to you!! KEK!"
You are welcome to look up the origin of the stalemate rule, its rationale and its history. Stalemate has been all three (win/draw/loss, and illegal move) at various points in time and still is in some chess adjacent games like shogi.
>>
>>544363759
yes, calibrate your analysis to your level/time control, etc.
>If the refutation is pretty simple and definitely something I should have found
is more what I was going with

After weeks of doing stupid mistakes, being completely clueless about openings and being a complete beginner, I've finally done it.
I have reached my goal: 95% winrate in the 100 rating chess.com bracket. It was satisfying watching my winrate go up as I got better.
Now I'm finally good enough to humiliate beginners and can play chess for fun. Going to continue tanking my rating so I can log on every day for some easy wins to brighten up my day. No, I'm not planning on getting actually good. I'm fine here in my happy place at 100 rating.
>>
>>544364329
>the 100 rating chess.com bracket
the what?
>>
>>544364394
Well, it's not really a "bracket". 100 is the absolute minimum your rating can go if you instant surrender a game every time you win to keep it low.
>>
>>544364494
So you are playing games until you have mate then resigning so your rating doesn't increase?
>>
this general is so fucking bad, we need to go back

>>
>>544368064
4
>>
>>544368064
3
>>
>>544368064
Quite a few. You'll start at 600 or so most likely.
>>
>>544368064
a few thousand at least
>>
>>544370236
if it takes you more than a thousand games to reach a thousand elo, you should probably consider suicide.
>>
>>544368064
it took me like 500 games for 1000 and 200 more for 1100
>>
>>544368064
About a year then every 200 points after another year, for me at least
>>
>>544370772
I suppose it depends on how much time you spend doing puzzles and shit. If you spend most of your time reading guides, learning openers and doing puzzles and barely play, it will take fewer games (but possibly longer time, since playing is still the best way of getting gud).

If you just spam games you can go through a hundred games a day easily. You don't reach 1000 in 10 days of playing.
>>
>>544371064
sure, if you play a hundred blitz games a day then nothing will improve but im not even considering that
>>
>>544371389
I noticed this too. I keep playing lots of games and barely improve.
But in most competitive games the recommendation is to spend most of your time playing and keep studying to a minimum.
How the fuck do you get good at chess?
>>
Why would you not study your games afterwards? I spent like two hours the other day studying just one of my games. Sure, that's an aberration, but the point is I was actually learning and quite engaged.
>>
>>544372369
I only study games that I win to see if I missed something or could have done better
it's too depressing to watch myself lose the game so I skip those

I focus more on the games I lost. Those lessons stick with me more than just reviewing games I won and patting myself on the back.

I simply stopped thinking about what their moves are doing and began getting as tilted as my opponents seem to be. People are much more relaxed and chill in 10 minute but there are also probably 3-8 move cheaters so i dont have problems thinking my actual elo is higher

the anxiety is probably caused by internal conflict. when you play, you're forcing your mind to operate in very unnatural ways that it's not used to or doesn't see the point of yet and it resists. do this enough and you will eventually buckbreak your mind into submission and it will start looking forward to calculating.

are you talking about OTB rating or some online thing? the fide otb rating starts at 1000. this is also the minimum. so you just play a fide rated tournament, lose first game, now you have 1000.

if you're talking chess com rapid rating, you can do it in 2-12 months depending on your available time and your acumen for the game. assuming complete beginner barely know how pieces move and don't know all the rules.

I like Danya, but anyone comparing him to Shakespeare has clearly never read Shakespeare. And if they did, the last time was in high school with No Fear Shakespeare.

I remember him once saying that an endgame was being played with "filigree precision," and I kinda liked that. Not that he coined it necessarily, but I've never heard anyone else say it

I can’t stop thinking about what happened to Danya, how the selective proctoring and unfair treatment he faced .

Danya was required to play in TT events under proctoring for quite some time, something that most other players didn’t do. That alone raises serious questions about consistency and fairness in how he was treated by chesscom. He was later removed from TT after for not switching his chat to emote only mode, which raised speculations about him cheating.

Danya talked openly online about how stressful the whole situation was for him. He repeatedly defended himself, but it was clear the constant scrutiny took a real emotional toll. For someone who gave so much to the game through his teaching, streaming, commentary, and genuine love for chess he deserved far more support and understanding than he got. chesscom never made a statement explaining why proctoring was used only for him. Danya’s experience shows just how much these issues matter.

With Kramnik’s accusations and Danya being proctored, it’s heartbreaking to think how isolated and unfairly treated he must’ve felt. It made it look like he was under suspicion for the very allegations circulating around him. No player deserves that kind of pressure. Either everyone should be proctored or no one should, this sort of selective proctoring is purely evil and goes against everything fairness in chess should stand for.

It seems likely given he probably wouldn't have killed himself over false accusations noone believed. That scenario is just so outlandish to me.

Well, that's possible, and a shame, but isn't really Kramnik's fault.

If they were true, spiraling and dying makes sense. He had a lot to lose. If they were false, it really is hard for me to believe he'd be that effected by false accusations which no one seemed to believe anyway.

>>
>>544494741
I watched those videos. Didn't convince me either way. I don't really know what I'm looking at.

The alternative just makes no sense but, Jews are fucking insane, so I guess it's possible.

Maybe you would but apparently danya was a bitch who cared too much about what the general public thought of him. So I don’t think his overblown reaction is that unusually for a person being falsely accused.
People said the same thing about Bret kavanaugh: why is he getting so mad if the accusations are false? Well he was innocent and now he’s a supreme judge.
>>
>>544494323
Well, I'm casually going through his material and realizing almost everything he says about the situation is deflection or appeal to emotion or ad hominem, which I think people already realize here. His sudden extremely worried worried face in light of another concern that definitely applies to him was just another indicator.
>>
>>544495292
Why not make all players use it? Then it’d be really strange if someone refused.
>>
>>544495723
Assuming I knew the accusation was false, and almost everyone disbelieved the accusation outside of a few Russian speaking schizos, and I was wealthy and famous from playing chess, ya I'd laugh it off.
>cared about what the general public thought
The general public literally thought he was a SAINT. I'm not exaggerating.
>Brett Kavanaugh
Weirdo humiliation ritual/transgender weird shit where he had to accuse himself in drag for... I have no idea what reason. Weirdo Jew/Mason stuff, and not really the same thing.
>>
>>544495730
Can you timestamp a video where Jewish rhetorical tricks are on display? I don't really have the patience to sift through this stuff myself.

They recently implemented most of the proctor features as a requirement for play.

It's a good step forward, though there are still ways around it.

>>
>>544496123
Actually it starts going as soon as he starts talking after the timestamp here >>544493723
These things are subtle because he's actually a very convincing person since he's so intelligent and can string together narratives so well and can also change the facts conveniently. So the point is that he doesn't want to talk about the facts, but instead makes irrelevant points or says how offended he is or how stupid Kramnik is. It's always that kind of thing at all times for everything. Of course this is all in hindsight now that he's gone and I've been paying attention. I wouldn't be able to confirm that he's dishonest just watching this video by itself.

Had no idea this was a thing, Nepo will get slaughtered. Anish is in top tier shape right now and it's obvious that he's working towards the most serious world championship effort of his career. Meanwhile the fat Russian is completely washed, humiliated by Magnus and put down by Ding.

women move on pretty quick it seems. sorry danya, but girl's gotta eat.

>>544512979
He got completely mindbroken by losing to Ding, especially after Ding was shown to be completely mindbroken too. Giri is back in the top 5 after a mvlesque fall because his youngest kid is now old enough to sleep through the night uninterrupted.
>>
>>544515384
Are you saying she should have quit working forever to mourn him? Or maybe immolate herself in Hindu fashion?
>>
>>544474110
Kramnik may not be legally culpable for Danya’s death, but he’s certainly morally culpable. Danya was literally begging for Kramnik to stop. The stress and strain on his mental health was obvious and Kramnik never let go of his unfounded crusade that was merely the result of his inability to come to terms that he could lose at chess. Fuck Kramnik. He deserves all the hate he’s getting and he just keep renewing the outrage by being a total fucking asshole about it.
>>
>>544516435
Was there some new report that came out showing Kramnik traveled to Danya's house and shoved drugs down his throat? No? Then fuck off.

>>544516435
>Kramnik never let go of his unfounded crusade
He hasn't posted about him in like 7 months or more

I stopped following after carlsen abdicated. How did gukesh even become WC? He won candidates and beat Ding? Was he higher rated then?
>>
>>544511413
>>544515592
Someone itt said that Nepo's been distracted by his mother dying so he's probably not in good shape right now. He has been pretty inactive as a result of that.
Meanwhile Giri has been putting effort into his speed chess skills and on top of that he's in excellent form like you said so he does seem to be the favorite.

Playing under Proctor is such a dehumanizing experience in itself. You're monitored from all kinds of different angles.

They monitor your entire screen, look at your face using a frontal-face cam, and you have to provide a rear camera as well. It feels like prison.

All he had to do was set up a mirror behind his screen and this all would’ve been put to bed. He refused. Steeyepan can do it and no one on earth suspects him of cheating. What was so hard about it?

The funny thing is that it's one of those mistakes ESLs generally don't make. A typical ESL mistake is something like "how does it look like".

>>544549072
No, but you have to admit it's counterintuitive. In every other instance 's is utilized for possession.

Is this the chess general or the English grammar for midwits general?
>>
>>544549569
>In every other instance 's is utilized for possession.
It's not, though. You don't use an apostrophe for possessive pronouns. A perfect example is "hers."

Same thing.

it has pookesh in it, jeets love levy as well

>It's not, though.
Obviously not literally, but overwhelmingly. Far and away the most prevalent form of possession encountered uses 's while the -s suffix denotes plurality.
>pawns - plural of pawn
>kings - plural of king
>knights - plural of knight
>pedants - plural of pedant

So the history goes roughly like this:
