>>558638774It's funny that Bibisara basically told Zhansaya to stay in the kitchen and she did just that. She was a gm and a legit woman top player too. Pretty based, I hope she's happy.

wonder if we should make a /chess/ forum somewhere
The Rubinstein mini saga by Agadmator was pretty good. The games were pure kino. Rubinstein had such a crisp style and the way he was grinding down the romanticucks was a thing of beauty. He was a lot like a Magnus generation type modern player who takes minimal risk but maxes out the small advantages he does get.

is /chess/ new? i've never seen this general before
>>558666632Yes, this is just a troll thread. The real /chess/ general is on /tg/.
>>558666632No? The rest of this board is trash bugman goonslop so not surprising.>>558667570This person is the tranny who ruined the /tg/ thread and forced us to come here to avoid it. Now he just comes here to complain "his real thread" is dead now.

>>558641274I have previously alluded to this forum, it is one that might be interesting, if not tired, to you...Chess discussion here is bustling. Whereas here you will find posts half-hours if not hours old with no reply or continuance of discussion, here you will find posts 6, 9, 10, 16 minutes ago and more flowing in. Here you can find a reply to any chess inquiry you may have, any game analysis you wish to be done, any showcase you wish to be posted...Here there is no shortage of jokes, interesting chess links, opening discussion, chess forum games, chess variant discussion...There is almost anything you might feel is missing from this general. It is wise, it is unwise, it is old and it is young. I will post the link underneath this post.https://www.chess.com/forum-14:06:37 UTC

shogi news:the final round of the top division of the Meijin challenger league was played. Going in, Takuya Nagase and Tetsuro Itodani were tied at 7-1 (no other player could catch up to them). In a surprising turn of events, both of them lost their games. Because of this, a tiebreaker game will be played between them on 3/2.The winner will face Sota Fujii in a match for the Meijin title, the first game of which will be played 4/8-9.

Blitz is not real chess.
I can't think fast and then I play moves like qa5...
What do you think of fabi having gray hair now?
>>558728118Blitz is the only real chess. Spending 2 minutes on a single move is lame as fuck regardless of the game. Everyone except classical chess players understands this.

>>558745462
>>558745284Just fucking shave it at that point. This dude is listening too much to people trying to be "nice" by telling him it doesn't look that bad. Get rid of that awful shit. Either go full bald or a very short buzz cut.Even worse than the male pattern baldness is that he's a fat piece of shit on top of it. Being fit makes up for a lot of other flaws.He's never going to get invited to chess tournaments looking like that.

>>558738850this guy always jobsbut seriously though, you're in time trouble, oppnent has all her pieces aimed at your king, why the fuck would you move a kingside pawnit's easy to miss that tactic with a minute on the clock but h5 was wrong on a conceptual level
>>558752957It's really grim that he got away with it despite mass reporting, it was quite blatant.Online chess is so fucking doomed
>>558755815Yeah, that whole situation kinda blackpilled me on online chess. I always knew cheating was a thing, but I only really thought about the blatant cases. It makes you wonder how many people are out there quietly toggling and using the fish only for a move or two in critical situations without ever getting caught.
>>558756908And yes, that streetshitter was blatant. What I'm saying is, if they didn't even catch him, how the hell are they ever going to catch someone who's much less obvious?
>>558748179>i shaved it >now what?

In this hypothetical variation of yesterday's Hans game, there's only one winning move. Everything is hanging, it's very difficult but in return it's also geometrically pleasing.
No better feeling than finally outplaying the guy who used to bully you OTB when you were just starting out in chess. Shit hits harder than CRACK.
>>558755815Usuallly mass reporting is accompanied by some chesstuber making an accusation and chesscom being forced to bring the banhammer down to save face and maintain trust in the cheat detection system, but randos on /chess/ (read: 4chan) don't really have that influence.
Wish we could have a dr lupo drama every month that shit was funny as heck and destroyed his streamer career as far as I tell
>study non-system opening >play it in a game>can’t remember what move to play nowI don’t think this semen slurping game is for me.
>>558806214I'd rather have 100 pinkamena posters than one dramafag like this
>>558810543That is common, I have it happen all the time too. My advice: play the opening anyway and if you don't know the move, then look up the move afterwards. Then you are more likely to remember it next time, and then you will remember the first move and not know the 2nd move, so do the same thing with that and keep learning 1 move at a time for each game.
>>558813479You don’t like the occasional chess drama? What happened to your heart and why are you incapable of enjoying anything.
https://lichess.org/61YAi4gu5+0now that the general is active
>>558814713who won?
>>558814051I do that, I just forget it by the time that position comes back around. I mean there are what, at least 3-5 playable moves for each side at any position? 7 moves into the game you're at tens of thousands of permutations that you have to know. My memory sucks but I still don't see how anyone who isn't a master plays anything that isn't a system babby opening like the London or Hippopotamus.
>>558815975i am the poster, the challenger won
>>558816170I am not a master and I have a ton of stuff memorized. You are not memorizing random bits of information; it is a move that has logic to it and is connected with the future gameplan. So if you can remember the gameplans and the goals you are trying to accomplish, then it is easier to remember the moves to get there.
>>558816187was it him?
>>558818135catmixer? I didn't feel like he was, no. We played a second game if you want to look at ithttps://lichess.org/akDr3cA9Qpoz
>>558817556Well I play crazyhouse and there is no opening database and no masters explaining the openings. Maybe I should make a database based on stockfish.

>>558846781Yes. I fall asleep to his (her?) voice explaining the Caro-Kann every night.
I finally trapped a queen! Dutch chads keep winning
>>558837580I think I just played against Jose Porotskoy from Cybersecurity
>>558798003Can you explain? I'm not seeing the winning moves.
>>558850531That’s because there’s only one, not moves plural.
>>558852261I'm hoping you're NTA because that response was useless to whom you replied, obviously he meant moves in succession.
>>558850531Honestly I can't because I only remember the move but not all the variations. It's very complicated like I said.Here's the position if you wanna see it yourself: https://lichess.org/analysis/standard/5k2/1b2Npp1/2p4p/1pq5/8/2N3nP/5PP1/Q4BK1_w_-_-_2_32I wonder what rating this would have as a puzzle. Could easily be 3000+ imo.
>>558852964Sorry to double post but now that I look at it I realized that I may have oversold it a little because there's only 2 big variations and neither of them is that long but the move itself does come out of left field. It seemed more complicated yesterday. Even the resulting position with the queen/two connected passed pawns/minor piece vs queen/2 minor pieces endgame is not that difficult since black can't really advance the pawn. White has to be patient but eventually those pawns will fall.
>>558852663>I'm hoping you're NTA because that response was useless to whom you replied, obviously he meant moves in succession.
>>558853924Bruh, Sorry for using the word "whom" if, don't crash out homie.
>>558854083Ok, you're using ebonics now so I can tell you're a cool young zoomer, all is forgiven.
>>558855454the fact that this is the behavior on this website is frankly disgusting and problematic. anyone here who supports this needs to do some self reflection because this is ultimately rooted in fascism and the appropriation of culture.
https://lichess.org/training/3nUjXhow do I solve this one? are there principles or ideas that I'm missing? how do I know that the second move is Kd5 instead of a5? i understand i'm supposed to use the a pawn as a decoy, but when to start pushing it?

Looks like my trip to the Tel Aviv chess club is getting postponed again. Israel and Iran are going at it. All I wanted was to party on the beach with women and play some OTB. What the hell Bibi?
At what point do I stop being considered the weakest world champion? I was at least top 10 in when I got the title, unlike gukesh
>>558869047gukesh is clearly the weakest wc already
>>558869047>>558869165Ding didn't even play after he barely won against Fat Tardpomniachtchi. Or when he did, he was playing like an average GM at best. Was just thinking about it that anons here used to celebrate when Gukesh lost and then he lost again yesterday but by this point no one cares since it happened so many times. Magnus really set the bar high.
>>558870763i judge ding on his strength before becoming WC, as he did earn the spot beforehand unlike pookesh who got a free ride
>>558871762What? Ding got into the Candidates purely by chance and because Magnus was being vague and Fabi didn't believe him about the abdication. Gukesh qualified legitemately and also won legitimately with a stellar performance. In the last round he was the only contender who managed to keep his nerves.
>>558864197it does not. What it selects for (and reinforces) is autism. High functioning autists look smart to normies, therefore the confusion.Many chess masters do not even possess the social skills to take a random kramnik rambling, without overdosing on meth for it
>>558872019ding got 2nd place in candidates and then won the WC match against equal oppositionthe candidates pookesh "won" were a complete joke with abasov and alireza feeding left and right, alireza didnt even try for half the games, along with beating his jeet countrymen. then to top it off ding can barely make a move without blundering in the WC match so he gets a free win therehes not a legitimate WC
>>558872019
>>558872113Ding also got the title without facing Magnus, you can't argue he's any more legitimate than Gukesh. You lose all objectivity because the current weak WC happens to be an unmemorable jeet so there's no point to continue this. Though it is an interesting question for top players if they could pick their opponent for the match, would they choose Nepo, '22 Ding, '24 Ding or Gukesh.
>>558873119i never said anything about magnus you moronic shitskinif ding had abdictated seeing as he was unable to play and pookesh had instead played the WC match against fabi or hikaru and won, then i'd say he earned itthe fact of the matter is that the only people he beat to get WC were pragg, vidit, alireza, abasov, and a completely washed ding, thats absolutely meaningless
>>558873119Ding was at least strong before the rona. Gukesh has never been strong.
>>558873764That's true but while Ding was actually the WC I'd say he was weaker. Tough call between the guy who blundered #2 vs the guy who blundered a full rook.
The only TC where I'm over 2000 is lirapid. It's ogre, isn't it?

Tbqh the WC title feels meaningless after Carlsen abandoned it as he's clearly the best player and would have retained it to this day if he cared.
Guys, it looks like Israel is going through a pretty rough time right now. We should all switch our CC flags to the Israeli flag to show some support.
>>558885146I didn't want this to be true after Carlsen abdicated, but it's undeniably true. We've had the two weakest world champs in history immediately after Magnus left. There's not even room to cope like there would have been with Fabi or Hikaru.

>>558899559No onions iraní, José Porotskoy.
>>558853551>>558852964I didn't get it but it doesn't seem that out of nowhere. White is up a piece for two pawns but that piece is going to fall. The question is how to make one of black's pieces fall with it. Clever solution.
>>558899939you have me confused with someone else, this is Punxsutawney Phil from the weather station.
>>558869047Ding is the only "world champion" who didn't win a candidates or defeat the previous world champion. Calling him the weakest world champion would be giving him too much credit because he's not a valid world champion period.
>>558901707he didnt win a candidates? you mean he didnt fairly win a spot in that tournament? maybe im misremembering
>>558872083Looking back someone should have noticed I had autism when I read Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess seven times in one summer. Instead I didn't catch it until I was 30 and was speedrunning solitaire and it hit me that normalfags generally don't do that.
>>558901707and what about karpov in reference to didnt defeat previous wc
>>558885146This is why Magnus is a fag. At least Fischer and Morphy actually abandoned the game when they abdicated.
>>558901951youre just like anna rudolph, did your life drastically improve once you made the realization?https://youtu.be/_ld2VtRUqoA?si=IXBEPr5jwMfx_f6w
>>558901837Nope. He was runner-up.>>558901982Karpov won a candidates.
>>558902114>32 minutesGive me the QRD? Or is it worth listening to in full?>did your life drastically improve once you made the realization?No, not really. It extinguished the hope I always had to have a normal life, with having a wife and kids seeming like bad ideas. So what's left for me, I just try to entertain myself until I die?
Is this general a part of this 4chan lichess team, or is there another lichess team? I was surprised to learn no one joins those weekly tournaments I get notified about.https://lichess.org/team/vietnamese-basket-weaving-forum
>>558902875Aerosol and me would join but we aren’t allowed on the team anymore.
>>558902173Ah okay that’s what I thought you meant, I think your original post should be “and” instead of “or”. And I completely forgot about the car jacker sega.
>>558902875cheating paranoia and schizophrenia killed the team
>>558901837those chinese only farming tourneys that secured him the rating to get in were sketchy at best
>>558905193I never cheated, not even once! Oh hi mark
>>558908445And we're supposed to just wait around until they do?
>>558908445>finally gets laid>immediately does a 180 politicallymany such cases
Can’t wait for women to play chess tournaments in Iran without being forced to wear a blanket on their heads. We need a statement from Alireza
Anyone else asleep, sober, and not wanting to play chess in any capacity?
>>558917896Imagine sleeping through a huge happening
>>558920217Finally something that Hans and Hikaru both agree on
