how much have you guys donated to the narodistky memorial fund?
>>547876384Just my ears.
>>547876384Are we really still talking about Naroditsky in the big winter of 2025
>>547880068theres goys to be separated from their cash
>no "NEW >>547874476"/sp/ ever have this?
>>547881163Danya’s last stream reached 1M people. He had 500k+ subs.Yet only 1000 people have contributed to the fund.If Daniel ever inspired you, made you laugh, taught you, or touched your life, even $5 can help preserve his legacy.This is our chance, as a community, to give back to the person who gave so much to us.It’s time for the chess community to step up and show our unified support.
>>547876384>>547881882So now that Danya is dead, who actually pockets that money, "in his honor"?
>>547876384lmao
>tfw you feel confident about your last game and find out that the only reason you didn't lose is because your opponent didn't notice the multiple blunders you made
>>547888585Every time.
Two games in a row I blundered a piece in the opening. I drew the first and won the second.
the gachashit threads are back to putting chess in their OPs.
Alua training knockout left hooks. Maybe being left off the team did piss her off.

Ten more minutes until Finals tiebreaks. Enjoy Leko and Jan one more time, and then we're back to slop again.
>last day of the World Cupsadbut it was kino all the wayI really really really hope we get commentary like this for the Candidates too
>>547886956the charlotte chess clubs gets the money to organize a top level yearly blitz tournament in his memory, surely they won't benefit from this in anyway or overpay their members/friends for organizing it, btw dina who originally wrote that is the gf of the owner of the club, no conflict of interests to be seen anywhere here, they are all doing out of pure kindness!
>>547905163>but it was kino all the wayIt really was. I still can't believe we got to see Leko at the board! So glad he got invited.
It is kinda weird with this tournament that the match for third place is inherently more interesting than the match for first.
Wei "draw on demand with black" Yi
>>547908103he bloondered though
>Sindarov failed to find the win>Jan says he has trouble with K+P endgame puzzles>even Leko said this shit is hardI feel vindicated
why are they showing this disgusting jeetslop
>>547908283what's the scoresheet say though
https://lichess.org/3tbcjsoQhow about a cheeky blitz game during the break?
ISHAMBOO
Don’t resign against GMs they don’t know king and pawns endgames
>>547910518Bro, they will hang an entire rook and lose a winning position.
And if you're patient enough, they'll resign in a drawn position.
Jan and Leko commentating, incredible. Someone in charge of the fide broadcast actually has a brain and good taste
Wei "lose on demand with white" Yi
I told you Sindarov's taking it. Wei Yi was done with the tournament.
Well, that was sudden.
>walking interview with Sindarovkino
yi takes wei too much time in the early game
Thank you, Leko and Jan. Hope to see you both again. <3
>>547874476Can any anon explain why they choose to play on Lichess instead of Chess.com and vice versa? I'm still on the fence about which site I should main. Thanks.
>>547914376Lichess was free, does everything I want. Never considered making a .com account afterwards, because I have no need for two chess accounts.
>>547914823Thanks for answering anon. Hoping to hear some more opinions on this.
With all it’s free features if you’re playing on lichess you’re stealing money from the chess community
>>547914376I think most people play on both anyway:>chesscom prosbetter cheat detection everyone having flags makes it easier to avoid indian pakis and other cheating nationsdoesn't have unhinged mods that will mute you ever the slightest thing but will do nothing about cheaters like lichess>lichess proseverything is freeless lagbetter engine and analysis better UIa ton of resources like studies, master database, player database,humans like bots etc which are all either paywalled,inferior or simply absent on chesscombetter braodcastsnot owned by jewsIt comes down to how much you value cheaters getting banned and even then I get the impression that lichess has less cheaters overall but seeing even obvious cheaters get away with it disgusts me so much I only play rated on chesscom these days, I use lichess for everything else though
>>547914376I play on lichess because I love it. It does everything a chess site should and then some, for free. I don't play on .scam, fuck that site and fuck the people running it.
>>547916014>cheese.com >cheat detectionlol, lmao evenalso cheat.com has like 5x as many indians because all the indian-coded streamers such as roz the poz play on it and aggressively advertise its interface features in their thumbnails and such
>>547914376>>547916014Thank you for the answers anons. I'm leaning more and more toward choosing Lichess as my main. It really does seem like the better chess site, especially for bullet and blitz. If any other anons want to chime in, please do.
>>547917850say what you want about .scam but someone as blatant as lordbentham wouldn't last a week there, on lichess he gets to cheat forever I acknowledged lichess has less cheaters overall and is superior in every other regard I'm not a shill but to me the fact that clowns like him go unpunished on lichess is just unacceptable and a deal breaker
>>547916387>fuck the people running itWhat's so bad about Danny the Jew and his crew besides being greedy goblins?
>>547919221>lordbenthamis that a cheatmixer alt?
>>547919141chesscom is worse in almost all respects, but they do try to keep their ratings more in line with fide or uscf ratings, which I appreciate and consider genuinely valuable. But everything else is so much worse than lichess that I rarely play there these days.I'll probably go back sometime next year and play enough for my ratings to catch up with my listrength
>>547920460>they do try to keep their ratings more in line with fide or uscf ratingsThis has absolutely zero value and they fail at that anyway. t. 1600 fide 1900.coom
>>547920460>chesscom is worse in almost all respects, but they do try to keep their ratings more in line with fide or uscf ratingslmaothis is so wrong on so many levels
>>547920273pic related he has cheated in every rapid game he played in the last year or so,sometime intermittently sometime every move several anons here reported and they just refuse to ban him, I personally linked like half a dozen 99% acc same time for every move games in my report, lichess cheat detection is nonexistent and they don't even have enough mods to read most reportsthere was also this jeet I played last year who literally played nothing but the top engine move every single game he ever played and they took a month to ban him but it took them 15 minutes to give me a warning for calling him a cheater
Sindarov is only 19
>>547922338Looks like he started studying lines and reading books in late 2024
>>547910518you should never resign period, resigning is always giving too much credit to the slightly more evolved retarded orangutan you're facing
>>547922338its insane that they wont ban him, he must have a lijanny buttbuddy or something
>>547923554I assume the mods only read a small % of reports and he got really lucky with none of the reports about him being read, considering that many of his opponents most have reported him too not just people for here that % has to be really fucking small
>>547924036theres no way
>>547922338There's a special place in hell for people like this. Dropping from 2000 (if he even got there legit in the first place) down to 1800 and not improving for two entire years probably drove him insane, so instead of getting a coach or something and working on his game, the retard started cheating.
>>547921483>they do try to keep their ratings more in line with fide or uscf ratingsThat's true. Firstly, uscf and fide ratings are themselves fairly similar at club to low master ratings, maybe diverging by around 100 points, in case you took issue with that premise.Secondly, at least a few years ago when I checked it, chesscom blitz rating tended to pretty closely match uscf elo within low club level ranges. But okay, around 2100 I think it started to diverge fairly severely, you could have 2100-2200 players who were 2400+ on chesscom blitz, or IMs with 2800 ratings, etc, as we all know.But where it's important is for players who know very little about the game, the sub 2k players who will go on lichess and report that they're 1500 strength when, if they played on chesscom, they'd have an elo barely scraping 1200.And at almost any rating level, lichess will give a more erroneously high rating than chesscom (with an exception for the very high end)As for being worse in most respects, chesscom is a technical embarrassment and on top of that is constantly trying to fleece its users, show them unsightly ads, make them pay for basic features and the like. If you really love having a text-to-speech coach telling you your exchange sac was brilliant, then I guess we'd have to give the edge to chesscom
>>547927170>Firstly, uscf and fide ratings are themselves fairly similar at club to low master ratingsWhy the fuck is everyone in this genny so fucking misinformed? Did none of you morons notice when FIDE raised the rating floor from 1000 to 1400 and gave everyone below 2000 up to several hundred points of extra elo?
2026 Candidates>Fabiano>Hikaru>Giri>Blubaum>Sindarov>Yi>EsipenkoNakabros...Hikaru has a real chance
>>547930391First American world champion LETS GOOO
>>547930121anyone who thinks the che$$com rating means anything is a moron anyway why bother
>>547930121>several hundred points of extra elonta but the bonus was 0.4*(2000-rating) so it's only several hundred at very low levels, a 1900 got 40, 1800 got 80, 1700 got 120 and so on, considering before that uscf was 100 points inflated it's absolutely fair to say they are similar at club ratingswhy you would react so aggressively?do you like to tell yourself your 1600 uscf makes you a FIDE expert or some shit like that?
>>547930121According to the chessgoals rating comparison, uscf and fide still line up pretty well, although I hadn't heard about the 1400 rating floor since I'm not involved with irl chess and researched the rating stuff years ago. Everything is all out of whack below 1700 now with fide and uscf, above that they're reasonably closeI'd still be surprised to see someone deny that lichess ratings are almost always significantly higher than otb ratings, whereas chesscom makes an attempt not to give such high ratings below 2k>>547932552It is obviously meaningful. It's not "real elo" and can't replace otb chess experience, but there's obviously a strong correlation between online blitz and rapid ratings and classical strength. That's just obvious and has been empirically demonstrated, as well.

Why did chesscum run the quarter and semifinals of the SCC during the world cup when the finals are in February? Just a fuck you to FIDE?
Has lichess ruined puzzlestorm recently?I feel the selection of puzzles has gotten a lot worse with way more sub 1500 puzzles that somehow require a modicum of calculation compared to all being solvable at glance like it used to, might just be a cope though
I was down on material hardthis is the stupidest win I ever got
>>547914376Lichess is exponentially better. There really is no comparison. The fact that chess.com exists as a paywall website when lichess is completely free is hilarious. Lichess has unlimited tactics completely free but scam.com makes you pay for a membership if you want to solve more than 3 a day. You can analyze as many games on lichess as you want but scam.com only allows 1 per day unless you pay for a subscription.Lichess has a very intuitive UI whereas chess.com is what a website would look like if it had a tumor. Chess.com tries so hard to appeal to normies and it is just as cancerous for our game as Gothamchess and chess commentators that try to do live analysis as if they were professional wrestling announcers.

>>547940137Important reminder that jeet /chess/ players who are with white /chess/ daddies only THINK their boyfriends are 10’s. They are not 10’s it is simply that jeet /chess/ girls assume so due to BWC. That is objectively true. Anyone denying it is a bad man. Possibly even a very bad man I am sorry to say.

Were you guys able to find Hikaru? https://youtu.be/7W3767Ct1xE?si=SAmLRzJS7A5OLy3d
>>547957958He'll be back in the top. He just needs to gain a few lbs first, to have the energy
>>547948910Lichess uses the puzzle challenge modes to increase play count on their newly generated puzzles. These modes give you a majority of brand new puzzles with less than 1000 plays on them on purpose. Lichess devs refuse to change this and if anything have increased the percentage in the last two years. They don't seem to care that including puzzles with unstable ratings in challenge modes designed around a difficulty progression defeats the entire design of the mode.
>>547948910It definitely feels different. Some puzzles definitely feel like they "require" more calculation than they should. I wouldn't say ruined though, in my experience it's not too frequent. Also I've never scored higher than 34 so take that into consideration.
>>547960319Happy Thanksgiving, anon. My two cats and I shall feast alongside you.
I've played several games where the opponent will do anything not to trade pieces (pawns are fine), to the point where they cramp their own position and have no space to maneuver. What's up with that?
>>547988719They are trying to follow the rule of not releasing the tension (trading pieces) too early, but because they are still inexperienced, they fail to recognize when it is actually important to release the tension, trade down, and start maneuvering to fight for control of key squares
is castling a meme?
>>547996825They should invent a chess variant with no castling and name it after Danya. God I miss him so much it’s unreal.
Should I learn Le French Defence?
>>547997596Oui.
>>547997596yeah, but you have to deal with this in half your games
>>548003320Triggering French players is extremely based and redpilled
>>547996825Only if you castle queenside because you're seething that you lost a single pawn
knights are the niggers of chess pieces
>>548003320Chad exchange variation enjoyer vs virgin French player
>>548006692objectively true
>>548005808If I lose a pawn I castle on opposite sides and fling all my pawns forward to get checkmate.
>>548006692trvke
>>547914376licheats is literally unplayable above a certain level and as long as you aren’t a credulous mark and can tell when you’re being had. the average licheats enjoyer will log on here and insist they’ve maybe played 3 cheats in their entire life and that online cheating isn’t an issue. they will become genuinely upset anytime you imply an opponent of yours cheated, on any site. they live in retard world.com is a worse playing experience but they do respond to cheats more often than not. they also have the stronger playing pool by far. basically it breaks down likelichess = no cheat detection + poorfags and thirdies + retards and weak player pool + superior playing experiencecom = great cheat detection + first worlders and aristocrats + intellectuals and superior player pool + worse playing experiencebut again, this is only above a certain level. if you’re a n00b it doesn’t matter
>>548020323>licheats is literally unplayable above a certain levelwhat level is that?
>>548020857his elo minus 1
>>548020323>the average licheats enjoyer will log on here and insist they’ve maybe played 3 cheats in their entire life and that online cheating isn’t an issue. they will become genuinely upset anytime you imply an opponent of yours cheated, on any site. they live in retard world.This isn't exclusive to lichess. This animal exists on all sites. I do not understand the mindset. It's bizarre. I don't believe it's paid shills. There are people who genuinely hold this opinion on online cheating and reject any suggestions otherwise in this exact set of ways.
>everyone I lose to is cheating episode 2469thanks for the rerun
>>548020857I would say 1700 liblitz/1500 com
>>548022432It's funny because that's propaganda .scam pushed through the e-celebs they own, which then got amplified and turned into basically religious fundamentalism by reddit, yet he blames it on lichess for itthat guy is either delusional or baiting, no one sane would unironically claim .scam user base is stronger and more first world than lichess when it's demonstrably the opposite
Drawing arrows in online games is a soft form of cheating in my eyes. It's hard to believe that both of the major sites think nothing of it and offer it by default.
Another benefit of lichess is that it mindbreaks schizos. The melties it produces are always good for a laugh.
>>548025095lol you better be baiting
No Leko this morning. What am I even supposed to do anymore? And the broadcasts starting at 3:30 am for me was peak comfy.
>>548020323when I face a cheater, I just beat him, why are you so mad about them? Just win
also, forgot to mention some of my other griefs with licheats- misclicks are way more common. don’t know why. a misclick decides 1 in 5 of my games- I have never had an account longer than 30 minutes before being muted. I don’t even say anything egregious, just something like “miraculous” and I get a warning in my inbox going ATTENTION CITIZEN: LICHESS IS INTENDED TO BE A SAFE SPACE as they mute me anyway, not sure why they even bother with the message- I already alluded to this but the amount of thirdies and Indians is obscene. licheats is THE chess site for India, they fucking love it. look at the average opponent’s account and they’ll be part of at least 30 Indian chess teams. live broadcasts are full of Indians unironically asking how they can “join” the professional tournament, or spamming “Anyone else here Indian?” and then you have the obligatory Messi vs Ronaldo arguments in Spanish and so on.- it’s still too much like being in a dank dungeon, completely sovlless site. part of the reason everyone is cheating is because they subconsciously feel like they’re in a prison and get their shivs out. it’s depressingly bland. and the board and pieces are still shit and will never be improved upon no matter how much money reddit donates- the DING! at the start of every game is maddening- the board still sounds terrible as well, it’s a very ear-piercing THWACK so you always have to turn it way down - the Follow button is ingeniously right next to the Block button. enjoy accidentally following the person you meant to block, and your profile saying you followed them even after you unfollowed and blocked them. humiliation ritual
>>548027140Most schizos play on lichess even if they seethe about it. I think it has something to do with the outsider art je ne sais quoi radiating from the ui design.>inb4 karla She's bpd, not schizo.
>>548031676>the missclick schizo is hereOh shit can I get an autograph?>licheats is THE chess site for India, they fucking love it.False.https://www.similarweb.com/website/lichess.org/#geographyhttps://www.similarweb.com/website/chess.com/#geography
Kramnik save us from cheaters
>>548031676ways I, a genius, would improve licheats besides cheat detection- introduce the same “ambient mode” that Youtube has to give the surroundings a little more color - completely rehaul the board and pieces options, I’ve seen extensions that mog both com and cheats- pfps and Friends function - both sides in a game have cams on by default. not only would this make for a livelier game but also could help curb cheating. there will be a separate pool for ppl with no cams that will be ghettoized and shameful- spectators will have the option to mic into a “space” like on X rather than using chat
someone forgot to take their meds
>>548032837>both sides in a game have cams on by default*Shows dick* Wat do?
>>548032972you would be banned idiot
>climb on Lichess>people don't request takeback on qeen blunders anymoreFeels so nice
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it. If you don't, I hope you have a wonderful day, too. <3
>>548033187Not with lijannies on ban duty lmao.
>>548034074it’s implicit that since I would be running the site my reddit volunteer slave jannies would have shit on lock. I would expect a regular report like cops with tickets and if their ban numbers are too low I’m kicking them off the liteam. good little redditors who bring me more bans than the others will be paid more. it might be argued that they may get a little ban-happy to make that sweet funko pops money and ban some innocent people. that’s ok, because I would rather ban too many people than not enough. and I would also argue that there are more than enough people to ban to meet their quota anyway, they won’t have to go out of their way to find people
>>548032837>both sides in a game have cams on by defaultThis is a terrible idea. Chess players are mega-autists and don’t want to be on camera. Nobody would do it.
>>548032827No.
I love how /chess/ has so many different weirdos all with their own distinct brand of insanity, makes for a great cast of characters

>>547930121That's literally WHY they are similar now, dummy.

>>548032972listen
>>548051937is that...
>>548033832It will be annoying but thanks anyway
>>548047706Apart from that one nice but kind of odd guy (who still has an okay job and goes to trade school as an adult mind you) everyone in my club is a normal person. On top of that I'm an autismo but I get along with them more than well. I was afraid of joining clubs for the stereotype you experienced but luckily here almost every person I've met through chess was just a normal person. Maybe it's because we're really not a sweaty club.
>>548038443H2BHHappy to be here-Kev
>>548047706All of the guys at my chess club are retired ultra normie boomers. We get drunk and play chess, sometimes inbetween sauna sessions too

I know I'll never be Hikarubut I'll still try to play his meme openersit actually catches a lot of people off guard
I know /chess/ adores grumpy old men, but I genuinely hate being around boomers.
>>548062994Hippo is no quite a meme (and not hikaloo's opening anyway). It's one of the most serious of the animal openings and sees some top level play. I'd rate it as Pirc-tier.
>>548063141Some of them are alright.
>>548063752Danny King is spiritually young.
>>548063141the boomers at my chess clubs are all nice and friendly, the only grumpy somewhat unlikable guy other than me is in his 20s
>>548063343On top levels it's almost always played as black though.Going full defensive as white is kind of a meme.
>>548031676
>>548060565>luckily here almost every person I've met through chess was just a normal person.Glad to hear that anon.>maybe it’s because we’re not really a sweaty club.Yeah, that's definitely why. I go to the most competitive chess club in my country (south-east EU), right here in the capital. We have a couple of GMs and plenty of IMs/FMs who come by regularly to coach and play on club nights. Let's just say a lot of them are… socially interesting.
Ran a 5k, now I'll vanquish some Indians. Life's good.
>>548062239That sounds great anon. As much as being around all the GMs/IMs/FMs at my club and training with them has helped me improve, I sometimes wish we had nights with a more casual atmosphere where you could just grab a beer and play some chess. The whole thing feels way too serious sometimes.

>>547919141I prefer the look and sound of playing on .scam so that's where I play. Also I feel like .scam is the "real" rating. Lichess' inflated numbers for low rated players doesn't seem right to me and I can't take it seriously. But I like the stuff lichess does for free, especially lichess studies. I try to use the lichess acount as my drunken account but more often than not I fail because I'm (drumroll) drunk.So in a nutshell: .scam for playing and 3 puzzles a day and one lesson a week and lichess for everything else.

>>548075898> the face has the right schizo energythanks, I thought it might be better with the standard crying wojak face but I liked the unhinged rage this gave off
>>548076931Sorry but I don't associate with Russian crime organizations and/or any of their internal number systems.
/ourgirl/ drew benjamin bok in classical today. it's over for bok
>>548077228Jokes aside I've seen that opinion many times but I don't get itIs it>those pesky 1100 lichess could possibly think they are better than my hard earned 900.scam and the mere thought makes me seethe!or>look at those hippies giving welfare points like the filthy commies they are!or >those vain faggots only play on lichess to claim they are 1800!or what?Everyone knows the ratings are different on the sites, it's not some marketing ploy or excuse to flatter the users it's just a by product of lichess starting everyone at 1500 while .scam lets you choose where to start, both ratings are "inflated" anyway and the gap between them is only egregious at lower levels where no one should be caring too much, much less bragging, about their ratings anyway.Might as well be mad at rapid ratings cause they are higher compared to blitz and bullet
>>548080553>Might as well be mad at rapid ratings cause they are higher compared to blitz and bulletI am mad about that
>>548067615Well, at least we know you're not a jeet.

>>548065541lol
>>548065541lol.cumsisters will never recover from this
>>548066405Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I'm sure that's better for improovement at least. Now I have too much fun shittering it up in the 1500-2000 little leagues to care about that.

>>548122431It’s not stupid, I took it years ago and it was dead on. Mine was whatever Garry’s is. It said I play very emotionally and aggressively and other things that were exactly right. You just can’t be satisfactorily categorized because you are a gray nonentity.
>>548128486Missed this lol, yeah they’ve rewritten it since I took it. “Unflappable” was definitely not in it, and the one I had was a longer analysis. The description in this new one doesn’t even match Garry.
I've been playing 3+0 fischer random on lichess lately. Pretty fun actually. I had never really given it a chance.
>>548129618How would you describe Kasparov’s playstyle then? I thought it seemed pretty accurate.
>>548081558Rose isn't well known enough yet to have an early life section in her wikipedia article. She wrote her own biography, of sorts, on her com profile, which does not discuss her parents or upbringing at all. Surprisingly, she has no patience for women's title bullshit. It's quite refreshing. https://www.chess.com/member/roseatwell>I do not want the WGM title. I have already met the requirements for the WCM, WFM, & WIM titles. But I haven’t accepted any of them.>I’ve played in the U.S. Women’s Championship twice, in 2024 & 2025. And I hope to play in this event many more times in the future.>So I’m fine with playing in women-only events occasionally. But I want to play in tournaments with guys most of the time, and I’m opposed to women’s chess titles. Send me a message if you’d like me to explain my reasoning on this.
>>548132637He was an emotional aggro player who would feed on his own momentum and also spiral when he felt like his chances were dimming and make uncharacteristic mistakes. He basically played chess like he was fist fighting and didn’t like getting hit in the face. If you could hit him back as hard as he hit you he would get very “well fuck you and fuck this game and how about this? Oh I see that loses instantly well and that’s good, because it means I can retire on the spot and do something worth my time, fuckface.” While when he was winning he was slamming the pieces and his clock and staring down his opponent like “Don’t you know when to resign, retard? Fine, I’ll calculate a 20 move sequence and show you what a real chess player looks like, dipshit” and just crush them. >Assassins are unflappable, meticulous pursuers of the opposing monarch.This describes Magnus, not Garry at all.>Whether attacking or defending, assassins are unphased by their opponent's threats and ideas. Not Garry at all, as I described above.>They know that if they wait, their opponent is bound to slip up, and victory will be theirs.Garry did not “wait” he went for blood. This bit is describing Karpov.Just nothing to do with Garry at all. Like I said, it used to be different. I assume some Indians updated it with AI for some reason.

>>547874476I lost OTB at the chess club today to the weakest player in my group because of a brain fart. The worst part is he was extremely snarky about it after the game too. I can't stop thinking about the whole thing. I've genuinely never felt this defeated before. Any anons had a similar experience and want to share some advice?
>>548190994means he's a cunt and you should improve your skills so you can defeat him on demandbuild up a win streak against him but keep your emotions contained, do not react in any way so he will get maximum tilt after every win
>>548191407alternatively you can just become a chill dude and congratulate your opponents when they win and review the game with them
>>548191407Thanks for the advice anon. I really appreciate it. I'll do exactly that and get right to it. Have a great day.
>>548183326He also insists that the student use a chessboard, and go over all moves listed.

>>548208351That's exactly what Caro players want. The Panov would be more fitting Imo.
>>548208351no problemjust take a step back and lift the h pawn to give the bishop a cuck hut to hide in
>>548217205what's the difference between a fianchetto and a cuck hut
>>548216658Not him, but ... is it?I feel when I play them, they are obsessed with putting pawns on the 6th rank and trading as many pieces as possible because a youtuber told them endgames are winning in that structure
>>548217446in fianchetto the bishop is on b or gin cuck hut the bishop had to escape to a or h
>>548217446What the hell is a cuck hut
>>548218291the thing black has here apparently vs white's fianchettoed bishop
>>548218291here, I made this just for you
>>548218860Oh wow. I always called whatever black has in this position to tuck away the bishop a pocket. Guess it's a cuck hut from now on.>>548218949Kek. Thanks anon. This will forever be ingrained in my head as a cuck hut now.

>>548242887>lichess is too incompetent to [employ shady practices for profit]the word you're looking for is honest
>>548232489To compete with cheese.scam. The only thing they really have over Lichess is the size of their player pool. It's really not that crazy of an idea when you think about it. In any case, I don't think it's true. I just keep seeing people mention it on other forums, so I wanted to check with you anons.>>548233867It would, but I highly doubt it's true anon.>>548242887Kek.
>>547874476How is it that some people play a ton of games online and never seem to get any better? I keep getting matched with players who've logged tens of thousands of games (usually blitz), yet they've improved about as much as I did after my first hundred, if that. It's so bizarre to me that someone can play that much and still not brute force their way to a higher rating like Tyler1 did for example.
>>54825622395% of people are unconscious goycattle. The jews are correct
>>548256223you simply won't improve unless you're pushing the limits of your chess ability, you can play a thousands games but if you aren't doing your best to win, they will be meaningless
>>548183326I own maybe 10 chess books and unironically the only one I could bear to read is Esserman's Morra book because of the James Bond and Joker quotes
>NYC chess HUSTLER doesn't know I'm a GRANDMASTER>arrogant hustler gets SCHOOLED, kid is actually a CHESS prodigy>I pretend to be bad at chess with the BONGCLOUD, what happens next will shock them...
>>548260989This is true. The dangerous thing is that the difference in my playing strength when I think about my moves and when I just play whatever is only like 100 elo, so it's easy to get complacent and spam jank games that do not contribute to my improvement.
>>548261535>I pretend to be good but I'm a SHITTER who BLUNDERS (??) like crazy
>>548256223maybe they are old, like german11
>>548261765mine is about 200-300 elo, and I still end up playing with shitters I can defeat in 10 moves because I don't pay attention or care half the time
Thanks for the dark squares, loser
Which bishop is the strongest? I suppose the kingside one is better, am I wrong?
>>548264538The one that targets your opponent's weak colour complex of course.
>>548228619I’ve never thought of that but it would make sense. Other non-com sites have been caught doing that, like Fide Arena. Com has much longer wait times for matches and has the much larger playerbase, lichess matchmaking is always instantaneous.
>>548236673>NM is realYeah, real stupid lol lmao etc.Better than CM, though.
>>548269060The real mindfuck is that CM requires 2200 FIDE which is stronger than the 2200 USCF required for the American NM title. If CM is a fraud title, then NM is even moreso.
>>548269369I'd call the CM title more of a fraud title since you actually have to pay money to get it.

>>548303481the trick is to cheat and smurf on your main accountwhy would you even want another account for playing honestly

>>548304729I love this lil jewigga like you wouldn't believe. The entire Jewish defamation machine is working against him and he stands there unfazed.
>>548314604kek how many hours did you play?
>>548317005It's not me, thankfully, it's this guy: darshan_1He offered me a rematch right after a 30+0, which I thought was weird, so I looked at his profile.He's on hour 10 right now and still going
Also somewhat related would you rather play 5 30+30 OTB games in a day or 2 90+30 ones?I was thinking the former sounds gruelling but then I realized it's more or less the same time as the latter on average
>>5483174232 90+30 games, easy. It's not even a question anon, that's standard tournament practice whereas 5 rated competitve classical games in a day just doesn't happen.
>>548317413>Time spent playing: 107 days, 9 hoursabsolute madman if it wasn't a mudslime/jeet sounding name I'd call him based
>>548317413I'm watching him live right now with another anon and he's still going lmao.
>>548318002>whereas 5 rated competitive classical games in a day just doesn't happen.I was thinking about it because I saw an upcoming OTB tournament in my region with that format, it has a lot of participants and it's even FIDE ratedI won't go though I'm afraid I'd be a zombie by the 4th game, then again 2 90+30 games is tiring but not exhausting so I'm wondering if I'm overestimating how hard this would be
>>548318024His current opponent (invachess90) has 434 days of play time. Madlads the both of them.
>>548318786>>548320179darshan_1 won the game.

>>548320438my nigga, I switched to the scotch gambit for OTB because I lacked the balls but I do have a liclassical win in the goring
>>548318024Seeing the time spent playing on lichess is part of the reason I quit. As soon as I saw how much of their lives people were spending on it I knew I would only play long enough to reach a certain milestone of above average competency, and then focus on school and my career. I didn’t know yet what it would be, I just knew the day would come. Like really think about how that guy has taken a full 107 days off his life, essentially. You could argue that it’s time he spent enjoyably but let’s be real, you’re never thinking “wow I’m playing chess and enjoying myself”, it’s just a timesuck. Like at least video games, which I feel the same way about, can be communal, or will give you a simulacrum of life. Chess is just you sitting in a room staring at the same exact chess board, forever. Even as little I played to achieve my goal still gives me an existential crisis.
>>548322759What was the milestone? You sound like an embittered n00b
>548322759>Like at least video games can be communal, or will give you a simulacrum of life. Chess is just you sitting in a room staring at the same exact chess board, forever.low quality bait
>>548323447I’m not bitter and don’t regret the time I spent on chess, I should have clarified that. It was fun learning the history and becoming so strong when everyone has a board in their house and equates chess with intelligence. I’ve impressed people with the fact that I’m a “secret grandmaster” more than once, and now it’s a known fact and has been a social boon. It’s never worthless to have skills like that in your repetoire. And I will always feel like I’m part of the chess community and will keep up with it for the rest of my life. It’s just good to know when to stop as an amateur, in my opinion. It’s true that like >>548257921 said, most people aren’t doing anything with their life anyway, but if you do intend to have a life, you should only play long enough to reach a milestone. That doesn’t mean you have to leave the chess community, it just means you stop playing yourself. To answer your question, which was only asked because you’re nervous that I’m right, not because you think I’m low rated, I was almost certainly higher rated than you ever will be or ever could be when I quit. I thought about stopping after 2000 com blitz but struggled with breaking my addiction and continued up to a peak of 2200. Then one day I suddenly had the ability to just stop. Something inside me said that’ll do pig and I knew I was done. That was like over a year ago now and every day I’m grateful to myself I made that decision. I’ve grown as a person and done a lot.

>434 days of play time>1900 classical elo on lichessProbably a wasted life but certainly not a good chess player
>>548327501The issue is that for a lot of people (and especially me) chess is addictive and it’s not possible to just play a few games and then do other things, you get sucked into an autistic flowstate and only stop to sleep. Also, if you’re not playing/studying often enough you’ll lose your edge. I’m a competitive person so I don’t like to half ass competitive games. Either I’m in it to win it or I’m out.
>>548321274Why do people always assume smurfing=steamrolling 400s?For me the sweet spot is roughly 1500-1800 .scam where I still have to play actual chess but I get to win almost every game without stressingYou should all try it between -500 and -200 your rating it's the most enjoyable way to play online you'll see
>>548326758did he consider himself to play chess well? i guess he thought he wasted his life
>>548318949I've never seen anything like that. Seems insane to rate an event like this the same way as a normal classical tournament. Honestly, it sounds like a fun format but if you think your concentration would drop off, it makes sense to skip it. Just bear in mind that it's the same for everyone and there can't be too many tourneys like that.
>>548325926why do you keep coming backjust fuck off already
>>548328170>The issue is that for a lot of people (and especially me) chess is addictive>Also, if you’re not playing/studying often enough you’ll lose your edge.not wrongmost people don't even do much active study and just keep playing and playing until their elo gets to a nice numberbut ultimately it all goes back to timeif you're spending 90% of your time on chess for any reason you should reevaluate>I’m a competitive person so I don’t like to half ass competitive games. Either I’m in it to win it or I’m out.very extremely relatable but fallacious false dichotomyallocating all of your time into something is not a prerequisite to competitiveness
kek, he did it again
>>548326758>>548328858yet we and other millions of people are still talking about him a 140 years after his death because of how well he played chessin context the quote is sort of an oxymoron because the mere fact you know it proves it wrong
>>548328463>Chess is most enjoyable when you don't have to think
>>548329690It’s applicable to professionals in the same way that Magnus always says he doesn’t consider himself a genius, just someone who spent too much time on a game. Yes, they’ve made a career out of it and have a legacy, but there’s something spiritually anemic about a life spent mastering chess. That’s the sense Morphy meant it in and is the reason he quit to pursue law (many such cases).There’s also the sense in which it applies to amateurs, which is that you’re not even going to get a career or legacy out of it and there are a trillion more productive ways to spend your time.
>>548330549>there are a trillion more productive ways to spend your time.you don't need every single nanosecond of your life to be maximum productivityjust because you shouldn't spend all your time on chess doesn't mean you shouldn't spend any time on chess
>>548330549how is spending your life as lawyer(or most other professions) any less "spiritually anemic"?
>>548331268Because a game is fundamentally frivolous
Would you be happier in life if you spent all your free time getting a chess title in your 30s, or spending that time making money so you can retire early?
>>548331375>fundamentally frivolousImagine being this fucking spooked
>>548325926Sneed
>>548322759>>548325926>>548327501You're exhibiting spiritually brown behavior by shitting up the thread with all this woman prattle. Please do us all a favour and leave if you don't have anything smart to say.
>>548331694why not both, make a chess career win tons of moneyjokes aside I would probably jump off a bridge if I had to play chess for a living instead of just casually
>>548331694Both situations sound absolutely miserable.
would you be happier in life you spent some of your free time playing chess or all of your free time playing chess

>>548312880it's even more depressing as a variant player. A video of the #1 blitz player in the world playing against the #1 rapid player in the world will be like 50 views, then hikaru playing the variant like dogshit against a 0-games-played noob who has never even played 1 match of the variant before has thousands of views despite having nothing to do with the variant in any way.

>>548334680Up this early saar?
And now we peak
>>548322759... so why are you here?
>>548337367hikaru world champ. believe it.
Do /chess/ uncs unironically play gm openings like the ruy and the sicilian?
>>548338997I think the Sicilian is the only reason I didn't quit chess in the mid-1000s.I couldn't handle the Italian spam...
>>548338997i play the dragon variants
>>548338997I gave up on the ruy despite it being my best scoring opening. Now I just play the Esserman rep; morra, kings gambit, dutch, panov
>>548338997ruy and sicilian are a meme if you're under 2000 otb
>>548338997I'm triple digit elo and play queen's gambit and hope that black accepts. Even though I barely studied a few steps of the opener. Basically all I know is the trick to take their rook with the queen if they try b5 and c6.
>>548080169/ourgirl/ carissa let a clear win slip against benjamin bok in classical today. should be a draw now. it's still over for bok though
>>548346060better than letting a nip (derogatory) slip
I play openings based on how cool the name sounds
>>548350645so you're fully booked up on the intercontinental ballistic missile gambit?
>>548350645So you play the Sicilian Dragon?
>>548350645I play the Joe Biden-London System and the Gucci Piano
>>548351035imagine you're a complete beginner and this appears on chesscom's opening hint on your first game
I don't play any opening with the word "indian" because indians are dumb and stinky
>>548355062that's a good practice, the KID sucks and isn't viable at any level, and the queen's indian is even weaker.
>>548338997I used to, but if you play a common-5 opening, the opponent is 700 ELO but they regurgitate a vomit of the first 10 moves a computer created at 3300 ELO level before you get to actually start having the opponent play even one 700 ELO move.That is both not fun, not interesting, nor competitively benefiting yourself. So instead I play a flexible uncommon opening like hippo and my winrate immediately jumped from 50% to 80% as my opponents immediately lose 100% of their youtuber engine prep and are instead forced to demonstrate their actual endgame technique (which they never learned as not even one video from a cocksucker like gothamchess will actually teach them how to be good in endgames)
>>548302746dem keeds need mo money for dem programs
>>548355807and a funny tangent, was watching a twitch streamer, like 1600 ELO or something, been playing for like... months. He was STRUGGLING to checkmate with king+queen vs king. Took him like 5 minutes to very carefully avoid stalemating the guy. Was like... how the FUCK can someone have an entire chess channel and be trying to memorize a dozen opening systems trying to gain a 0.5 pawn advantage... yet they don't even know a basic queen checkmate endgame an 8 year old can play by heart?!
>>548355486I play the DOUBLE INDIAN a.k.a. the Hippopotamus because you can't have enough Indians
>>548356908wow! very powerful opening sir!!
>>548345919You should study the e4 lines that can lead to a very early Greek gift sacrifice instead. I still have 2000s falling for it.
>>548362747I’d fall for you too
>>548362956
>>548362747I like d4 openings because you can get away with almost any opening as your queen guards your d pawnthe king doesn't do jackshit just sits on his ass, too easy to forget about that Nf6 and lose your e pawnt. 500 elo
How is this allowed it’s very distracting
>>548363549holy moly what are they feeding them over there

>>548363549>>548363705>>548364334Should be illegal and punished by stoning. I'm not losing ELO to whores trying to distract me like this.
>>548363549>>548363705FIDE should make a rule that women must play topless. While this would increase the embarrassment for the male partners too, it would be a bit harder on the female players and would probably balance out nicely.

>>548376335Very good.
>>548350645Unironically why I play the sicilian dragon and sicilian kalashnikov
>>548363549I literally wouldn't care and only focus on the position. Autism is a super power.
Chess is really saddening in the sense that it made me realize that a lot of people are more intelligent than me and yet they cannot understand basic bitch logic like that a man cannot become a woman or that a woman cannot have sex with another woman. It made me realize that people want to be dumb, they are able to be intelligent if they want to like when they are partaking in a useless, consequence-less game of chess.It's like that chapter of berserk where Guts find his adoptive father being kind and affectionate to his dog, thus that means he was never kind to Guts on purpose, it wasn't a limitation.
>>548363549Is that Stjepan in the back?
>>548363549She's a hag now. Chess will never be the same.=(
>>548387290You are not smart enough to realize those people knowingly use different definitions of the words "woman" and "sex" than you do and their refusal to use your definitions is a rhetorical power play.So yes they are indeed smarter than you.
Sometimes I get lucky because my opponent takes with the wrong pawn.
warning, there are some anons in this very thread who don't bully stockfish8 daily.

>>548413228when you block the pawn with the duck in mid you block 2 bishops + 1 pawn and sometimes a queen as well and forcee his knight to go to shitty attackable side spots.Fuck like 4-5 pieces with a single duck and forcing them to avoid controlling the center with a normal opening. Deep quacktical theory.
>>548415530*oh you were talking about the random endgame part. Yeah when it's down to 1 rook the tradition is just constantly "fuck your rook" every second of its life. That's why knights are worth as much as rooks in t he endgame, since they can go forward 2 directions to get to the same destination, a knight cant be cockblocked for years like a solo rook.

>>548449397It’s the best opening just buy the course on Chessly and you’ll easily crush 2200 elo players-Levy Rozman
Maia can actually be pretty good for training specific chess positions.In this position I played e5 and eventually drew the game. Stockfish said that e5 is a blunder leading to a draw, and there are multiple winning moves but Bxe4 being the simplest. So I thought ok, I should be able to win this against Stockfish and remember why it wins so I don't blunder next time. Against Stockfish I won easily as it made nonsense moves since it considered it a completely lost position anyway. So I decided to install and try Maia 2200 and... I fucking lost. It really exposed my retardedness in finals.
>>548448207Because I’m based.
>>548449397gothamchess is now a world champion, it's only natural to follow his advice
>>548409971do not besmirch the venerable king's gambit
>>548453541King's gambit is legit trash. Your goal in the KG is if you play perfectly to be in a losing position that you can barely hold to a draw despite having the white pieces.
>>548450512Nah based is encouraging the team, youre just some loser who hates getting owned every weekend

ggs
>>548462962Post another challenge im ready for you this time!
>>548449397What's wrong with the Caro?
>>548461446Not quite a gambit but I always crushed the Caro with the Bayonet AttackSome lines 4. g4 Bg65. e6 fxe66. h4 h57. Bd3 Bxd38. Qxd3 5. e6 fxe66. h4 Nd77. h5 Bf78. f4theoretical best for black, which very few you encounter will know, is5. e6 Qd56. exf7+ Bxf77. f4which is still very promising for white.ime at the amateur level, especially in blitz, the Caro is very vulnerable to this attack, especially if black doesn’t know what you’re doing. I did, and still always struggled.imo best for black is after g4 just to play Bd7. in that case white has nothing. I never played that because it’s a very Duda ass, non-combative move, but it’s probably best. everything else, white has a very good position and can play like alpha zero and suffocate the opponent easily.
>>548464545I didn’t look at a board when I wrote this and it’s been awhile since I have so sorry if I got any notation wrong btw hopefully it’s fine
>>548427068Spectating and discussing the game =/= playingI am an ascended master and retired legend of the game, doesn’t mean I don’t still keep up with it. As I already mentioned, I will always be part of the chess community and always interested in the game. I just personally have no reason to play anymore. I already won
>>548464545>theoretical best for black>imo best for blackSo which is best? You contradicted yourself
>>548466473you're a nothing and a nobody, and no one will ever remember you
>>548466846No I didn’t. Theoretical best means what theoreticians recommend for the line, in particular Erwin L’ami. My personal opinion for what’s best differs.

if anyone above 2700 wins the candidates we'll have a new world champion.how does that make you feel?
Fabiano or Hikaru = long time coming and worthy world champions who resume the true line that hiccuped with Ding and Pookesh. it will always be an embarrassing episode in chess history that the lineage was broken and devalued that way, but all we can do now is do betterSindarov = continues the indignity of fake world champions, but may prove to be a real world champion in the end. it depends on how much he's really improved. as much as I like him, I wasn't impressed with his performance in the world cup, which didn't even have a lot of top players. he scraped by with a lot of close tie breaks. I'd pick him in a match over Pookesh but he'd still have a lot to prove once he's world champ. the good news is that all the young players still have a lot to prove, clearly none of them are the next Garry or Magnus. whoever reigns next will be B tier regardless, so why not Sindarov. but he's still far away even from being a B tier championif it's anyone else = discontinue the current world championship and start a new lineage with the upcoming *googles* Total Chess World Championship tour. just make it the official world championship
>>547874476What is something you anons wish you knew / learned sooner when you started playing chess? I apologize if this might come off as a redditoid question, but I'm genuinely just a beginner trying to improve.
>>548501954define beginner, also do you have any specific questions or struggles at the moment?
>>548501954It’s better to play not to lose than to play to win. Learn to be solid before you learn to attack

I've been doing a lot of puzzles, and while that's helped, I still feel like I struggle to spot tactics in my own games. Even basic stuff like forks, skewers, discovered attacks, etc. Other than that, I'm just looking for general improvement tips to help me get from the beginner level to the intermediate level as soon as possible.>>548503461Thanks anon. Could you expand on what you mean by learning to be solid? As in playing in a way that builds up a good position and not blundering instead of going for the kill right away or what?
>>548506486>S-SOURCE????? in the modern world of podcasts that each last several hours, and considering the amount of media Magnus does in general, this is not a reasonable ask. but if you really want to find out, you can figure it out yourself, because he’s said it numerous times. you just haven’t been paying attentionFabi “came closest” when he peaked and played him in the world championship, yes. but his peak was brief and he’s only been good at one time control. overall Hikaru has been Magnus’s only real rival. he’s as good as Fabi OTB as well as Magnus online
>>548506808I can guarantee that quote is in the context of speed chess only, feel free to click on the source ai gave, post it here and prove me wrongyou got into chess in the last couple years and it shows so much, before his 2023 surge nobody would have ranked hikaru even top 5 in his generation, he had one insane year and he's been basically rating sitting since, fabi overtook him multiple times since then, had went rating sitting mode at those points would that make him a better player than his current self?Obviously not
>>548501954It's logical to trade pieces when you're up material in principle but don't just mindlessly force/try to force trades disregarding your position. The reflex to take every trade when in a better position has cost me many points. What I'm saying is that you can't auto-pilot into a win based on general principles.This might be vague advice and hard for a beginner to execute in practice since you don't yet have the experience to know what is and isn't real counterplay but it's important to keep in mind. Some examples for when you're up material: don't trade queens at all cost, evaluate passed pawns very carefully when trading down, opposite colored bishops are dangerously drawish so be careful if you wanna be left with only them, etc.
>>548506808>using ai overview as your source
>>548507382no, the question was not only in the context of speed chess, you applied that yourself because you’re a disengenuous retard who can’t accept being wrong when you immediately smacked with what you asked for, thinking you wouldn’t. neither is it the only time he’s said it. you lost and are wrong, seethe about it forever. intelligent people don’t make the world a zero sum game about being right and wrong btw, sorry to detuct from your izzat
>>548507464>SOURCE??? SOURCE??? NO NOT LIKE THAT!!!! SOURCE?? SOURCE??? LISTEN TO EVERY PODCAST HE’S EVER DONE!! TIMESTAMP?? SOURCE?? SOURCE??
>>547874476>kill yourself cheater>madman actually does it
can't be fucked to write a proper post but these boomer dickriders are embarrassingJobi and Shitkaru had their chance many times in multiple Candidates and they blew all of them, they're no more worthy than any of the othersin a way they're less worthy because of thatit's time for a fresh face to shine
>>548506773regarding puzzles it's important to do them properly not just guessing one move at the time, a boomer would tell you to write the variations out to the end that may be overkill but you should do that in your headt, it's very easy with online puzzles to just go "ok this check is obviously the first move,I'll see where he move his king and then calculate from there" and other such laziness but you aren't training calculation if you do that
>>548505349Why didn’t he win the world championship (or any tournament) after Magnus said "fuck it" then?
>>548507643you know this little thing gives you the page ai got it from right?you can post that here instead of expecting us to take you at your word, I would have done that in the first place instead of posting ai like a clown, that fact that you have yet to do even after I specifically told you to makes it really seems like you don't want to because I'm right and it is about speed chess
>>548507643Ok I looked it up becuase I knew you never would provide source, the question was literally "Do you consider hikaru your main rival in ONLINE CHESS" which makes this post hilarious projection and unbelievable lack of self awareness, disingenuous retard https://youtu.be/4kjFCoSkQ70?si=ec-GpUYjLENlYefs&t=250
>>548506773> Could you expand on what you mean by learning to be solid? As in playing in a way that builds up a good position and not blundering instead of going for the kill right away or what?Yes exactly, just playing positionally/solidly rather than tactically/sharply. That doesn’t mean be passive, always try to play the best move, just focus on good chess fundamentals, connecting your pieces, protecting your king, stable pawn structure, and press your opponent without too much risk to yourself. The reason is because they will always blunder. Always. Blunders are how the game is decided at every level. The stronger you get, the more complicated that becomes, but as a beginner, all you need to do is play sensibly and carefully and your opponent will start handing you pieces. Basically, if you find yourself deciding between a move that seems good but opens up the game in an unstable way and puts you at risk, and a move that also seems good but is more quiet, choose the latter. Just wait. The blunders will come.
>>548508372you’re having a spergout because you’re an idiot and you know it, and don’t like being faced with the fact. I didn’t link nor even look at the link for the video because it’s irrelevant, as I already said, that is not the only time he’s said Hikaru is his only rival. I did not conveniently clip all the other times in anticipation of a retard demanding a source for something everybody else already knows and can figure out purely with common sense and having a brain.
>>548508431this is how you hardcap yourself and also cuck out on having fun
Shitkaru Ratingsfarma shills are sad
>>548508632you are a retard who's acting like something only the biggest casuals and brainrotted zoomers believe is common undeniable knowledge while straight up up lying (" the question was not only in the context of speed ches"LMAO) because you can't handle people who aren't as clueless as you telling you it isnt the caseyou are also doing exactly what were wrongly accusing me off where you got completely BTFO by facts and your own lying and keep going because you can' admit itlike seriously stop take a breath drink some water re read this>>548507643 and realize how you are describing yourself here, if you can do that you might unironically mature as a person, you dumb obnoxious cuntI also found this, compare the two videos and stop coping ;)https://youtu.be/0ZO28NtkwwQ?si=j_QoPJPr4xzzxSSh&t=2920
>>548508372by the way, just watched it for the first time, that’s not even how he answered it. his answer about online chess is always that he’s only top 3, he doesn’t even consider himself the best. he’s always said Hikaru is probably the best, then him then Firouzja. his answer to that question was in general
>>548508756i mean he's right that noobs should learn how to play solidly and that his opponents are basically guaranteed to blunder but yeah personally i'd advise noobs to definitely also play attacking chessattacking can lower winrate in the short term in comparison to solidity but it is immensely instructive and helps give you good feel for the game plus it's more fun
>>548509239no, I am not doing what you did. I said something everyone knows, you tried to be a contrarian and got proven wrong and have been pivoting and crying ever since. it doesn’t even need a source, that’s what you’re not getting. it just takes a brain.Hikaru is as good as Fabi OTB. he’s as good as Magnus online.Fabi peaked briefly OTB and has since fallen off. he is completely irrelevant online.these are not equal players. Hikaru is the better player and everyone knows it. he is also objectively #2 in the world even as we speak. just shut the fuck up and get over it
>>548509294>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the question was about online chess specifically but trust me for no reason his reply wasn't about online chess, you have to belive please bro I need this!This is so unbelivably pathetic, have you ever admitted being wrong in your life?if so when was the last time?I bet you can't even rememberLast (You) I give you, I have better things to do
the fabi vs hikaru argument is pointless - this will be answered soon by which one of them gets to be world champ
>>548509813correct. he would not say he “has no rivals” in online chess. this is yet another thing you don’t know that everyone else does.
>consensus #2 >everyone but you knows this>everybody else already knows>said something everyone knows> and everyone knows it. >you don’t know that everyone else does.The power of propaganda on full display have the media say something factually wrong a bunch of times, idiots will start parroting it to each other and eventually any time a non-idiot tries to tell them the truth they will react with idiotic rage like this.It's harmless on something like chess but it really shows how effective media manipulation is and how npcs become willing tools for it so easily, legit sad to see

>>548508431It's hard for a beginner to tell what's solid and what's passive tho. Give a beginner the black pieces in the QGD, tell him to play solid and he'll get strangled to death nine times out of ten.

>>548531764What about Kev? He seems to be ascendant
stockfish, your shit is weaaak
For me it's reximtac.
>>548526693"solid" isn't a chess expression, tardboy. It's just a basic word in the English language. It means firm, stable, compact, reliable. The average shitty /vg/ player and twitch streamer doesn't know how to play solid because they never learned anything other than "copy youtubers openings and try to juggle piecees at random hoping to somehow get checkmate" - this is why they lose constantly. They'll Already have an invincible fortress line of double-defended pawns all protecting each other, and the fucking /vg/brains will have no ideas, so push a pawn at random "gotta do something" and hang a pawn, then push anothere pawn and hang a pawn, then get checked and run the wrong direction and hang a 3rd pawn.Playing solid is just going 'what pieces of mine are undefended - okay here I defended them all'. 'How can he try to invade my pawn structure, okay here I cut off the only entrance' 'I'm up 3 points already, I'm not a dumbfuck who will push my pawns and go for a sharp position and get forked - I'll simply force the opponent to trade off his queen and trade off his bishops and trade off his rooks and trade off his knight, now he's still 3 points down but with zero weapons to ever make a comeback'You're not mikhail tal. You and the average shitter simply refuse to study endgames and pawn structures (unlike the actual mikhail tal), but crazy wacking kamikaze attacks are like jingling keys in front of your face - so you refuse to play classical chess and just queue 3-0 or 1-0 bullet because that's the only possible place someone can occasionally win by retardedly throwing pieces across the board every game hoping for a free hanging piece or lucky unforced checkmate. After a year or two of the eternal 600 elo twitch streaming of never improving because you play speedchess, you'll spend a few minutes trying to do puzzles or buy a shitty chessable course, then give up the next day because it doesn't give you the dopamine rush of shitty speedchess.

>>548539502I appreciate the honesty and won't mock you, it's not a bad rating after all sometimes we get carried away with elitism here but as someone higher rated>>548508756 is right, force yourself to play aggressive and take risks it will pay off in the long runlearn some gambits start getting comfortable with sacking pieces and being in sharp complicated positions where you can't be sure what's going on, the longer you postpone this the harder it will be to learn until at some point it will become almost impossible and you'll be hardstuck for lifethat is THE biggest trap an improver can fall into, there is a reason we meme londo/caro players so much and why poison like learning habits and gotham jew is so hated
>>548541617Vomit boy isn't hated and his habits series does not promote playing passiveslop. I never watched it for improvement because I think the video format is generally useless for that but I saw a few episodes and didn't see anything wrong with it.t. 2100 rapid litard/1900 chess.mong
>>548535536sounds boring and unambitiousrather than playing "solid" you should always be looking to push your advantage in whatever way you can - and yes, when you're playing shitters, this will often result in some sort of tactical attackclearly you shouldn't play retarded attacks that don't work for no reason, but I would argue even some of those are more beneficial long term than constantly playing passive, safe, unambitious games where you actively avoid tactical confrontations. chess is 99% tactics after all :^)

Is King's Indian a bad opening or I just suck?Every time I play it my right knight stays there blocking the bishop because there are no good places to move to. Usually everything in the middle is covered with pawn kill zones. If I put my pawns on white squares like d3, c4 the knight will suck.If I put my pawns on black squares like e3, d4 then the black bishop will have a hard time getting out.

>>548556130Thats scary why would someone do that?
I consider them to be real champions since Magnus isn't competing. It would only be fraudulent if it was like in the Kasparov years where the reigning world champ was actively defending the title but FIDE was still naming their own "champions" Magnus is basically retired from classical so the last two champs have been legitimate

>>548560994adding the queen to the game was the worst retcon change that women ever inflicted upon the great game of chess. Second worst was the non-sensical stalement rules that are the one and only reason chess is a boring drawfest of a game while chess variants and japanese chess and other board games are win/lose 95%+ instead of 50% draws.
>>548561526this only works as a pre-internet story problem
>>548565487very well. All you get are elephants, a vizier, and one-square pawn moves. Enjoy your slow as fuck medieval chess, you filthy moor.
>>548561526No way to tell what she is doing.Nevermind, I figured it out:listening
>>548565487Stalemate literally makes chess less drawish, you retarded 800 chess.com subhuman.
>>548569472literally it does the exact opposite. Even being 1 pawn ahead is a winning endgame without the stalemate rule, 100 ELO stupid faggot.We even know this for a complete fact, as it's possible to simply play with stalemate turned off in the chess code and it's nearly never a draw, you fucking 100 elo TARD.
>>548569251I do. It's more enjoyable than chess2.0. Though the elephant piece was just a shitty design and the chesscum website is missing the rule that promoted Firz (1-diagonal bishop) are able to step 1 square left or right after they promoted to change colors.1 second after giving bishop movement to elephants instead of their 2-hop and it's a better game than chess2.0 is.
>>548572001What move would Black be supposed to make here without the stalemate rule?
>>548572001>Even being 1 pawn ahead is a winning endgame without the stalemate rule,hence why everyone would be forced to play the slurpiest chess ever
>>548572382Black has zero moves where his king doesn't die, so black loses the game. 0% draw rate. It's really quite simple. That's how chess was before they changed the stalemate rule to create the artificial draw.
>>548572614So would you be allowed to make illegal moves at any point in the game or just in a king and pawn endgame?
>>548572431literally a skill issue. Bad players need the artificial stalemate rule because otherwise whoever is the stronger player would always win the game.I play variants with stalemate rule removed, and someone can have thousands of wins with 0 draws. It filters out people who suck like you.
>>548572784just as in shogi or duck chess, there's no downside at all to allowing the king to be captured. There's no removal of hard-pins because if a bishop pins a piece to the king and you move the piece, the bishop takes your king anyway. All it does is instantly removes the 50% draw nature of current trash chess.
>>548572784if you want to see what it looks like, it's right here in picture form >>548533712
>>548572797rating?
>>5485733942500+
>>548573492sure buddy
>>548572797Removing stalemate would make the first move advantage game deciding for good players.
>>548572274honestly, I don't disagree. That is one reason I also enjoy Thai Makruk, one of the closest living relatives to shatranj and chaturanga. It has a rich endgame theory, since you not only have to checkmate with three ferzes or silver-ferz, or silver-knight; but you also have more strict material-dependent counting rules instead of an overall 50-move rule.A bishops-only improvement of shatranj (no castling, bare-king win, stalemate win) would also be interesting. Can you play it anywhere online?
>>548573828that's what you'd imagine if you've never actually thought about it or acquired any evidence at all, but when you actually do the research it's the exact opposite.Chess winrates are often many wins as white, a big chunk of draws, then not many wins as black.In a king-capture variant (such as duck chess), that big chunk of draws as black become wins as black instead (the whole strategy of trying to win as white and trying to draw as black disappears)
>>548573984I may see if I can program the variant on pychess, I know they regularly add new variants with experimental rulesets from players.
>>548572990and if anyone is curious just how low drawing becomes with king-captured allowed.Top 10 in duck, matches - drawsdragonb70 639 - 2 drawskapik1337 2168 - 28 drawsvanzigx 1866 - 0 drawsjordrow 1459 - 1 drawcoryr305 1090 - 7 draws stgundul 2064 - 3 drawsIMrosen 574 - 2 drawsvahan 232 - 7 drawsthomasgauss 1050 - 4 drawshonorpanda 1755 - 26 draws
>>548573492>>548573750Sorry I meant 250+
>>548575719Don't you think having a duck on the board might also have an influence on the amount of draws? These numbers are meaningless.
>>548576090It literally doesn't. The duck would increase the draw-rate actually, as it makes staying alive and defending easier. It's the king having to walk into its death when chased against the wall that is why game's don't end in draws.
>>548576395Shut the fuck up you shitter, you're literally u1500.SITDOWN
>>548576395duck chess is a different variant than king capture. you need data specific to the variant you're trying to argue about. small differences in rules have a bigger impact than you assume.
>>548576090And it's not even theoretical. The chess tablebases of draws almost all become forced checkmate in regular chess when king capture is allowed. >95% of draws would disappear. The only draws remaining are due to repetition and infinite-checks, but the repetition draw rate plummets when stalemate is gone as a king cannot alone block promotion by shoving his own face against the wall and denying himself a movement. The side with the extra material thus almost always chooses not to allow repeating moves.Infinite checks with a queen is only advantageous to the side with lower ELO than the other, so with king-capture allowed the player with higher rating and higher skill instead just chooses to block checks, trade queens and outplay opponent into the endgame. The rooks and bishops and knights basically never force infinite-checks. Currently, someone like Magnus generally needs to avoid queen trades early because that increases the odds of a stalemate draw. With king-capture, he'd be happy to trade queens on move 3, as there's no stalemates so he'd manage to win the game even without the queen.
>>548577279Nah, I really don't. But I understand you're too stupid to understand something that simple, so you can be quiet now.
>>548577519>Nah, I really don't.Yes, you do.
>>548577337>>548573828
>>548577560Nah, it's truly unimportant to the world what a 100 elo retard like you doesn't understand. You could pay me money and I'd teach you, but you're a complete waste of time.

The only draws remaining are due to repetition and infinite-checks, but the repetition draw rate plummets when stalemate is gone as a king cannot alone block promotion by shoving his own face against the wall and denying himself a movement. The side with the extra material thus almost always chooses not to allow repeating moves.you have no supporting data for these claims>Infinite checks with a queen is only advantageous to the side with lower ELO than the other, so with king-capture allowed the player with higher rating and higher skill instead just chooses to block checks, trade queens and outplay opponent into the endgame. The rooks and bishops and knights basically never force infinite-checks. Currently, someone like Magnus generally needs to avoid queen trades early because that increases the odds of a stalemate draw. With king-capture, he'd be happy to trade queens on move 3, as there's no stalemates so he'd manage to win the game even without the queen.all of this is assumption

The thing is about stalemate is that it's only really annoying when you're like 900 and have terrible board vision and do it on accident. Once you aren't a beginner, it's just another part of the game t
>>548579742Up my ass
>>548565487Yes, I'm sure you play chess at GM level where there are lots of draws.They are very rare below 2200 elo.
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who hates the stalemate rule. It's a general principle of gaming that when your situation is so bad that you don't have any options, you just lose. Like, if you're a wrestler pinned to the mat and you can't move, it's over. But with chess, a game of K vs K + Q can somehow possibly end in a draw. Completely stupid.
>wrestling = gaming

>>548591431Aren’t they adding esports to the Olympics? Maybe chess will finally get included but not as a sport
>>548577337there are ways around repetition draws as well. Repetition in shogi is a no-result, where you replay the game on the remaining time. Fourth repetition in Chinese chess is instead an illegal move, though like chess you can have insufficient material draws.
>>548508756Someone tell Magnus>>548541617You’re either a retard or an Indian, you don’t get better at chess with “gambits” and making the game double-edged, there is no inherent benefit to that, you just prefer to play like that because you’re a low attention span dopamine chasing monkey. You don’t even understand how to play tactically to begin with, it’s not something that happens in a vacuum and in contrast to playing positionally. As Fischer said, “Tactics flow from a superior position.” You want to play tactically like you’re describing? Better get comfortable learning how to play positionally first. Otherwise you’re just a monkey flinging fistfuls of shit.You’re not high rated either, kill yourself weirdo.

>>548596631>MagnusHe used to play combinational chess and crazy shit. I think he even got surprised when the bot from Play Magnus came out because he said " No way I played like that when I was young" but it was true, he used to play attacking chess and later he develops his now known boa constrictor playstyle. Even Capablanca and many others agree, that's the reason tactics are important. Karpov, Petrosian, Magnus, Ulf Andersson,etc... all of them are monsters at tactics and combinations, that's how you become proficient at positional chess later, you can become a prophylactic player as you now calculate more and shit.
Your tactics rating on lichess or chess tempo is literally all that matters
Is Fischer - Taimanov game 4 the greatest endgame of all time?
>>548596631how can such a weak player be so full of himself?my FIDE is higher than your fucking lichess rating sit down and shut the fuck up you subhuman retard, you have no idea what you are talking aboutenjoy being sub 2000 lichess for life
>>548606645Thanks for confirming larping jeet, never try to give “advice” in this general again
>>548578236ye
>>548605993You’re confusing what I said with “never play tactically or press for an advantage, just be prophylactic”. That’s not how chess works, and not what I said. Here’s an exact quote:>That doesn’t mean be passive, always try to play the best move… and press your opponent without too much risk to yourself.This is also how Magnus plays. Yes, Magnus has also had some uncharacteristically tactical games. The exceptions prove the rule. Regardless, this isn’t about Magnus. My advice was for a beginner. Obviously Magnus will be playing on more levels.And my advice was completely sound and correct. There’s no reason to overextend yourself for an attack as a beginner, like many do. Just play soundly, focus on good fundamentals, make sure you’re not hanging anything/compromising your position, and wait for your opponent to make the mistakes you won’t. That doesn’t mean just make random uncomplicated moves. That doesn’t mean just sit there. It specifically means don’t overdo it. Still keep an eye out for the best moves. Yes, play tactics, that’s how any chess game is won. If you aren’t punishing someone tactically, you won’t win. But you can do that without creating an Indian shitfest on the board at great risk to yourself. As I already quoted, tactics flow from a superior position. That does not mean from an Indian’s anus. That does not mean from the exhaustless reservoir of your bottomless aura. It means from a safe and sound and superior position, which you achieved by not taking unnecessary risks. This is how you play as a beginner, if you disagree you’re wrong and need to get over it.
I would make a New but the OP jealously guards it with his life and will thread split if I bother. Wake up retard
>>548611109>>548612302You pathetic subhuman you are 1700 lichess you know fucking nothing about chess, I know 10yo kids who could adopt you, how can you so confidently talk about shit you don't understand?You unironically think, you know better than capablanca it's unbelievable one needs to learn attacking chess first to truly learn the value of piece activity, dynamics and proper calculation doesn't mean you have to play gambits and speculative sacs for life but you need to be able to do it first only THEN you can actually play solid chess instead of the pathetic parody of it you are doing at fucking joke rating, you can't larp as magnus or fisher if you lack the very basics of the gameanyway you are clearly a very stupid person in general no one smart would talk with such confidence and aggressiveness about something he's so bad at, being terrible at chess forever is the least of your problems, everyone with a 3 digit iq will always look down on you as "that delusional idiot who thinks is so smart" in every context you are inhope you eventually have a moment of self awareness and rightfully kill yourself out of shame, clown
