OTB games, you're supposed to go back to where you think you made mistakes and try to come up with a better plan then check with engine.

For online games, I would put then into the Lichess analysis and look at every inaccuracy, mistake, and blunder and try to understand what you should have done instead. Don't look k at every move. Just the bad ones and maybe ones you weren't sure about

In order to be a strong chess player, is it necessary to frown and look up at the ceiling?

you should play together, avenge your bongcloud loss

Stockfish is a very powerful tool..

You would know.

Because you use it to cheat in case that wasn’t clear.

>>550164016
Karla beat him 3-0

how do we know that was karla? and not just someone using stockfish to test if he was cheating

That actually kinda makes sense…

Nta but I can confirm. I was there and I have a really good K-dar.

oh look hes still here

>>550166187
She self-identified to give her opinion that he wasn’t cheating, he didn’t know it was her until after

Just found the thread when it happened

Suss
>>
>>550172829
it didn't look very suspicious to me, you're just letting the stockfish metrics get in your head
>>
>>550174263
It was too strong. He went from being a little worse and missing that I could win his rook to winning back the piece and raping me immediately. He also logged off immediately after. It’s suss and he should kill himself
>>
>>550174498
That combo where you won the rook was a blunder fyi kek
>>
>>550175009
Yeah because the engine said so not because it should have been a blunder against the likes of him.
I’m saying it’s suss and you’re not going to change my mind, so don’t bother

I'm sorry you feel that way

I wonder what on Earth made him decide to play that opening. Why can't he just stick to one thing?

Also, lol @ his time spent on Bc8

What exactly did he miss in that position? I don't see a tactic for white, or do u mean he had a tactic in the last move that he didn't play?

>>
>>550189923
he'll die eventually lol
>>
>>550189908
Yeah but how can it be wrong (if you’re saying the engine disagrees)? The threat is to win a rook, and it’s indefensible. If Qd2 trying to protect the knight and “defend” the threat, still wins the rook. If knight moves, still wins the rook. White is just losing a piece. Nxd5 is not a move
>>
>>550190197
Because Ne6
>>
>>550190268
Oh
>>
>>550190495
So this conversation makes it clear that it wasn't a 1-move tactic like the original poster stated. More subtle because of Ne6 issues, which is why he played Bc8 to prevent that.
>>
>>550191183
Yeah probably so

hey buddy this has nothing to do with beary this is about the person aborting games

no but beayrt seething is what led to him being banned in the first place because the mods took ghis side

I just think posting challenges is super important part of any team, just post the time controls and thats it, if someone joins or not thats it. Why would we tolerate a guy who has a track record of aborting all challenges from anyone just because what? hes obsessed with catmixer? dude youre the problem fuck off

Anyone could look back at the archive and see what was happening in those days and what you were doing. You had the same obsession with 'casual challenges' and then you psychotically came up with some imaginary scoreboard for your record against namefags in the general despite all your opponents being anonymous but you're so smart you can tell who they are with 100 percent accuracy.
Then when someone calls you retarded you spazz out and get really angry, trawling the archive, this poster is active between 4 and 12 and plays the french therefore it was him. Then you keep pretending to be new posters every thread so we would get like 3 new posters every thread and each one just so happened to be very interested in your story but no nothing about it.
Then when someone tells it, you get really angry and use the archive to argue your case.
And then even now, you can't plauy like a normal person. You are so strong and so smart you have to move your king on move 2 every game because otherwise you would be a 2700.

Out of curiosity I went to look how many children of GM became GM themselves, as far as I can find it only happened twice:

Viacheslav Zakhartsov and Vladimir Zakhartsov
Interesting that it's lot more common for the son of a lesser master/strong club player to becom a strong GM, could just be because there are way less GM in general, that plays a role for sure but I think there's more to it

That makes sense, an FM or IM would know how to train chess very well, and could instill it into their kid at peak neuroplasticity. Maybe a lot of people with the genetic potential didn't receive the coaching necessary as kids.

If you go for Sicilian Dragon, King's Indian and all the other kingside fianchetto castle memes, what do you even do against a kingside pawnstorm, queenside castle and just full offensive? The queenside is so undeveloped that I can't do shit, any counterattack is way too slow.

You're generally supposed to attack on the kingside in the KID. I guess you mean if they castle queenside, then you can either tyr to pawnstorm on the queenside, break in the center, or still counterattack on the kingside. All are feasible depending on the position and whatnot.

it's common for the children of a pro athlete to not play the sport at all. Magnus and Hikaru both know that 99% of chess players make shit money and having to do it for a living drains your happiness and puts you in the social media spotlight. Once the parent has already gotten like $10+ million dollars from their career the children will just be happier free to do something other than chess and make more money passively free from stock dividends and other investments than they'd ever get having to play in chess tournaments.
It's likely they randomly dabble with it to shitpost on twitch years later from time to time but focus their life on a more worthy or more fun pursuit (which is in both cases not chess)

There's a whole charity organization that sends them these shitty roll up boards. I worked somewhere that painted nice looking boards on the picnic tables and that worked out pretty good.

I’m really obsessed with seeing the whole Epstein set. He had a black guy for the pawns.
>>
>>550316238
Did you think it was winning after that? You should calculate out a win for puzzles
>>
>>550263972
To me it is fine. You’re not using it to read the notation. You play through the variations and see them on the board.
If it’s just for personal use that is.

>Epstein set
what openings did he play?
>>
>>550280316
I guess einstein isn't so bad after all.

>>550321647
In the article it said he didn’t know how many pieces were supposed to be on a chess board. I doubt he even knew how to en pheasant.

I just had this little situation after winning black's rook. Can the black king take the white rook as revenge?
After white Ke2, if black king takes either the rook or bishop, the white queen gets there just on time on the h-file to checkmate.

it’s kind of sad when one IP is responsible for 70 posts.

4chan got rid of IP counter a long time ago. Must be talking about his own IP.

I just had the epiphany that your elo corresponds almost exactly to how many moves on average you make before you make an inaccuracy or blunder.

100 elo = 1 move
500 elo = 5 moves
1000 elo = 10 moves
2000 elo = 20 moves
3000 elo = 30 moves
>>
These 10+ posts where each had nothing but a lichess link seem botted. Someone should look into that.
>>
>>550334642
What makes them seem botted?
>>
>>550335579
Can you play shogi? It’d be cool to learn.

Thoughts on Aman Hambleton and Eric Hansen? I used to think they were based techno bros, but then I read something on here about Aman voting for some lib fag party and Eric being a legit homo. Any truth to those claims?
>>
4chan got rid of the ip count because threads (like this one) showed 10 IP’s and it was freaking anons out to know they are talking with a bot.
>>
>>550335786
They both seem like normal bros I’d be friends with, I played aman on his stream once and got obliterated.
>>
>>550335798
I think they got rid of it because changing your IP is so simple it was pointless.
>>
>>550335948
Thanks anon, I agree. I really enjoy watching them because they both come across as genuinely normal dudes, which isn't something you can say about a lot of e-celebs these days, especially in chess.
>>
>>550335948
>>550336261
Also cool that you got to play Aman. Got a link to the game? Would love to see it.

It was a long long time ago, he was streaming on twitch and taking random challenges. I was watching his live reaction to how badly I was playing kek

nah, i was on incognito mode playing as anonymous against a random person on lichess
it's gone, sorry
>>
>>550337370
No regrets, I like to put myself in peoples shoes and try to imagine what they were thinking when they blundered.
>>
>>550337527
it was a bishop + queen checkmate
lost in the middle of my own attack, failed to see that it was way faster
>>
>>550337685
It happens. At least it wasn’t a fools mate pattern.

Racism can get you banned here? What if I just genuinely don’t like playing angainst Indians… and Jews.. and blacks… and pretty much anyone that isn’t white.
>>
>>550338202
there is one deleted post in the entire thread and it has nothing to do with racism, it's just the latest example of the pastebin tranny projecting, same with the posts about IPs
>>
>>550338772
Yeah the sudden posts about IPs and botting are super sus. What’s this guy on about.
>>
>>550336575
Kek, that's hilarious.
>>550336894
Nope, never. My first choice would be Magnus (for obvious reasons), but I wouldn't mind playing either of the brahs. I know they're just e-celeb GMs, but I've learned a lot from watching both of them in the past, so I really appreciate what they do.

he's the autistic janny that makes and bumps the threads on tg and now sp
any time this general or the lichess team pick up in activity it makes him seethe since his general is so dead so he starts with those kind of lies and "no u"
once you are familiar with it it's so transparent it's comical, he makes 70% of posts on tg so he says someone does it here, he bans people over nothing there so he says people get banned here etc

literal autistic screeching ignore it

Did anyone else see that last reply get deleted? Was that the janny the same anon who got his reply deleted was talking about?

Never mind, my browser was just bugging.

This is how I choose to remember him. He was always so transparent and honest. And he had a warm glow around him like an aura. Not to mention he was spooky good at blitz.

I think it’s super handy and crucial to the culture to have an archive… Come along everyone, let’s go back to /tg/

God I wish I was born as some rich businessman's useless son so I could just play chess all day without a care in the world. Being in the middle of a game is genuinely the only time I forget about all my problems. Besides working out, it's the only thing that makes me feel alive.

they're both left leaning. eric isn't gay but his brother is (he's talked about it on stream and his brother has joined the streams too) and he loves his brother so he's obviously not going to vote for right wingers or any party that wants his brother dead or imprisoned.
