>play chesshttps://lichess.org>What is chess?That most exquisite theatre of miniature warfare, wherein two souls, seated upon chairs of insufferable discomfort in parlours redolent of stale tobacco and thwarted ambition, engage in a combat so ferociously cerebral that one might, upon observing their furrowed brows and trembling fingers, suppose them to be composing symphonies rather than nudging carved figurines across a chequered wasteland of sixty-four squares, each one a tiny stage upon which the great drama of human vanity performs its eternal, ponderous ballet.The King, that most pitiable of monarchs, shuffles one miserable square at a time, a sovereign so enfeebled by protocol that he requires the hysterical devotion of his Queen, who careens across the board with the frenzied energy of a hostess discovering, mid-soirée, that the oysters have turned. The Bishops slide upon their diagonals with the oily discretion of ecclesiastical functionaries pretending not to notice scandal, while the Knights, those delirious acrobats, leap in their absurd L-shaped trajectories like guests arriving at the wrong dinner party and refusing to acknowledge their error.And the Pawns! Oh, the Pawns! That shuffling peasantry, thrust forward into annihilation with the blithe indifference of a general who has never personally experienced discomfort more acute than a lukewarm consommé. They march, they fall, they are forgotten, save by those rare sentimentalists who perceive in their humble sacrifice something approaching nobility, which is to say, something approaching delusion.Thus does chess reveal itself: not as a game, but as society itself, miniaturised, perfumed, and absolutely insufferable.Previous:>>562218536

>>562472598>Larpov is a fat virgin basedlennial cuck>Karla was an ugly hairy man larping as a woman>Catmixer is a cheating faggot>Zoomers are balding ugly fat retards who need to leave this generalThere we go, all the annoying general drama is done. At least that which is still relevant.
>society is miniature warfare.I wonder how a straight guy would have communicated that.
why didnt you guys joineded my cytube stream
>>562473740Asleep
>>562473669xe is fr*nch so that word doesnt exist in their vocabulary
Why is the first american world champion steiniz so underrated?
Shitkaru completely destroyed, physiologically and in the game of CHESS
>>562475830because he was secretly canadian
>>562475880It's not over yet.
>>562475880Hey he is one of the greatest online blitz players ever give respect where it is due
Ding>B Tier Super GM gets hot at the right time>Sneaks into the WCC because Magnus dropped out>Wins the WCCGukesh>B Tier Super GM gets hot at the right time>Wins the Candidates>Wins the WCCSindarov>B Tier Super GM gets hot at the right time>Wins the CandidatesIs this going to be the new pattern?
>>562479132it's easy to forget because of how hard he fell off but ding was considered one of the very best superGMs and a contender to magnus for a while there, he definitely had more pedigree than gukesh and sindarov
>play D4>black chooses to accept queens gambit>proceeds to decline every trade and LARP as Karpov>gets mad and leaves after I basically maneuver them into a mating press after 20 movesMany such cases
>>562479132they literally reused the same script, fide are so lazy
>>562480932>scriptRetard
Fabi will win it in the end and go on to defeat Gukesh. Ta-da. You're welcome.
>>562481237it literally is scripted
>>562481471no it won't because that's what I want to happen and I'm cursed when it comes to these things
>>562417018>Why did Wei Yi go to college instead of no lifing chess? Is he stupid? He wasted neuroplasticity on shit he doesnt needAll the Chinese GMs go to college. Ding Liren went to college too. Academics is very important in their culture. They see more value in being well rounded than focusing everything into chess.
I decided to play C4 instead of D4 and went from negative win rate to this.Is D4 just dogshit?
>>562482715>average opponent rating 1535There's your answer.
>>562475880I watched some of his last streams and he kept making blunders almost every game and getting destroyed by random online players.It feels like he hasn't been at his peak in a while so it doesn't surprise me he hasn't been performing well in the candidates either, maybe having a kid is weighing down on him.
>>562482715yes d4 is for cowards
>>562482925prove it thenhttps://lichess.org/Y9fGpuHT
>>562482882I only started playing 6 years ago and am a casual
>>562471764why do people keep fucking with the op
>>562483385pbt is having another melty because of candidates, hopefully he'll rope afterwards
>>562483136i have proved it by not accepting the challenge as i am a d4 player
Fabi is now 2nd strongest in the world
>>562484780>3 Indians>3 Americans>2 Uzbeks>2 Dutch>1 Norwegian>1 German>1 Chinese>1 Polish>1 FrenchIndia master race because the Americans are not really Americans at all but rather Pinoy, Japanese and Italian.
>>562485913We. Own. /chess/. Respect to a fellow Indian chad.
>>562485913u are dalit
h*ndustani dalits absolutely mogged by PAKINGS
I am brahmin RAJ fucking your mother until bloody bastard form and you have sister who then I am also fucking
>>562484780Ratingsfarmabros we won’t be in the next candidates
>>562484780>Sindarov +20.1Why is he farming in mickey mouse tournaments?
>>562479132>Ding>B Tier Super GM gets hot at the right timeNah that's not Ding. He missed his peak. He was getting hot pre-covid and was looking to be someone who would challenge Magnus, then covid happened, he couldn't travel for chess, his girlfriend broke up with him, he got depressed, and all his momentum was killed. Post-covid he was legitimately just running on fumes from his previous momentum and that was still enough to win the WCC.
>>562485913the truth of the matter you absolute retard is that hardly any americans have been introduced to the fucking game so there's probably enormous unused potential here because nobody knows about how big the game is in the world and how if you can make it to the top there's big money. what i mean is they don't know about its significance so they think it's some dumb bullshit that only indians play. i found out about playing online at 28 years old during covid with the whole twitch chess boom and am now over 2k blitz on chesscom. fully self taught. anyone can play it's just that americans here don't give a fuck about the game because there's no cultural scene here for it and never fucking has been
>/chess/ without burgers
>Gothamchess>Botez>"GM" Canty>ChessbrosBurgers are introduced to and play chess they just suck at it
>>562484780"world champion" at number 15, and refusing to play more classical so it doesn't get worse... it's over
>>562484780I didn't know Van Foreest finally realized his potential, happy for him
Every article on lichess or chess.com written by a GM:>BUY MY BOOK BUY MY BOOK BUY MY BOOK>BUY MY COURSE BUY MY COURSE BUY MY COURSE>HIRE ME AS A COACH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE(the courses and books just give you puzzles to do and openings to memorize, which you could've just done for free, and repeat some basic-bitch advice you've already heard like "uhhh make sure to look out for your opponent's counterplay")
>>562494364You don't know how good you have it these days with tons of GMs making free content with only some shilling on the side.When I got into chess there was only ginger GM and in every video he would spend more time shilling his dvd than teaching.>mfw I press the enter key causing the "multiline" schizo to seethe
>>562492808esserman dunked on that fool and then everyone started thinking he was cheating back in the day
>>562496382do you have a link to the game?it's not an chessgamesare you confusing him with Van Wely?
