>>562655348it would be retarded to cheat for an all time performance instead of the bare minimum to win the candidateshe could be at +3 and still be leading, dominating like this attracts so much scrutiny it paradoxically makes it less likely he's cheating than pookesh last time
>>562655348Yes
>>562657289How do you think he's doing it?
>>562657952Prep leaks
>>562658251Bugged rooms? Bought-off team members? Are the governments of Uzbekistan and/or Cyprus involved? How do you think it all went down?
>>562655274Why does the black player look so smug when he just blundered his rook?
>>562659648>Why does the black player look soWow. Chill.

>>562663754Seething Indian can’t play his youtube gambits?
>>562663754
I often end up in these situations where I'm approaching late game and I haven't moved a single pawn except my center. How do I avoid this? How do I more actively play side pawns without giving up center tempo? This is 500 rating and I always play Italian game unless opponent does some stupid gambit.

Call out licheats when you play them btw, they’ll often drop the engine and promptly lose. Otherwise they might think they’re getting away with it, because they are.
>>562666686It doesn’t look like you did anything wrong, this is a completely winning position. You don’t need to push pawns unless the position calls for it
>>562668354MAGNUSED
>>562668210Nah this is sound. If it’s a premove it saved your opponent precious time, but even if it’s not, he’s deflecting you from capturing the b2 pawn, which is now not capturable. Queen is forced to take Bxd8, allowing the critical Rb1! securing the b2 pawn longterm. Additionally, white’s bishop was blocking the knight from gaining the important g5 square, from which he could follow up with Qf3 and then Qxf7# next, which would not have been mate had your Queen not been baited into returning to d8. It’s actually a pretty deep move
Can someone tell me why Sindarov didn't put the knight into a fork to target the rook and the queen to force it to be sacrificed to move the pawn and to take the bishop for a draw? I had a bit to drink but I think it's a little obvious of a play here.
>>562668354>>562671404Typical femoid. Breaks the rules for a selfie so she can post it on social media.And everyone in the chess world, being the simps that they are, reward her instead of punishing her. In a sane world, she would be refused invites after this and shunned.She got a selfie with someone but in doing so made that person have a bad opinion of her. That could only make sense to the modern fucked up roastie.
My laptop is officially toast. For the foreseeable future I will be phonechessmaxxing.
>>562673169.
>>562671594The knight is protecting the pawn on b3 and also blockading the pawn on d5. Your move would not only abandon those two important tasks, but it would also result in white having doubled pawns on the F file. Your move would fuck white up royally.
>>562673443Your point?
>>562673169in a sane world, she would be my adoring wife
>>562674253oh, thanks
>>562673192but a chromebook costs like what $100?

>>562676143laptop is still great to have for everything else including when your desktop shits the bed, anon. so yeah, it is worth it
>>562676251I’ve discovered that the lichess app is even better than the site, so I shan’t be doing that. Stop crying
>>562678426>cries about broken computer>no youhave you also recently discovered by chance that you are in fact a mentally handicapped person?
>>562678772Why are you so upset that I don’t want a laptop? Do you sell laptops? Do you consider yourself, above all, a laptop man?

>>562680178>scholar's matethe name of that always makes me laugh for some reason. it's so fitting for the entire attack
>>562680123Holy shit its working im winning
>>562680329You're welcome.
>>562680178I do this
>>562680178Scholar's Mate is only for Gigachads like me who proceed to cause everyone to have a mental breakdown in under one minute and sit staring at their screen in absolute terror when they realized I wasnt the 500 elo pajeet they originally thought me to be

>>562683375Yeah I'm new and learned how to counter scholar's mate and that got me to 500 elo but now people know how to counter the counter so I'm stuck slogging it out

wtf is this
He did nothing for 3 minutes after I made this move, then abandoned the game.Anything up with that? Did I accidentally ruin some trap opening or is it just a random "who tf knows why" abandon?e4 d5, e5 c5, f4 Bf5
>>562689062>e4 d5, e5 c5, f4 Bf5lol retard i'm over 2k and i don't give a fuck about coordinates on the board. either point to them with your mouse on a stream or you're talking a foreign language to me coordinatetard
>>562689062there's a billion reasons for why he could've left the game, c'mon now
Watch the endgame. This site just makes me laugh He not only neutralizes my winning endgame, he then manages to MATE me with Rook vs Bishop. Whooooaaaa lmao He had 9 seconds the whole time btw
>>562691991what rating?

>>562673169It makes me sick. It 7x’d her follower count. How’s she supposed to see my DMs now.
>>562655274Why is Magnus making Ian compete under a 'neutral' flag instead of the Russian flag? Isn't freestyle chess completely separate frome FIDE?
>>562708414they are HECKIN RUZZIAN NAZIS you evil PUTLER supporterWHEN I SAY SLAVA YOU SAY UKRAINESLAVA
>>562708581But is that a choice of Magnus himself? Magnus is a co-owner of freestyle chess tournaments, right?
>>562708650PHN probably persuaded him to do it while gobbling his nuts
>>562708414nah, the freestyle world championship is recognized by fide now.
>rest dayfuck this shit
>>562680178Saaaar no saaaar that is not how to be doing the scholar's mate saaar please to do the needful.

>>562708581WHEN I SAY WEAVERS, YOU SAY CHEATERS! WEAVERS!
>>562708414This Magnus guy is a retard or what?
>>562708414Will the US ever get the Russian treatment for Iran/Venezuela
>>562720519I don't know who said pic related... but now more than ever I start to believe it. If you play on jew.com or licheat, doesn't matter, you will get fucked either way. You can feel how suddenly your opponent begins to see every fucking tactic and understand the position better than you do, all of this after he dropped some pawns/pieces. Online chess is hell.
>>562726652>You can feel how suddenly your opponentThis feeling is wild. It goes from a normal to game to all of a sudden my balls are in a vice in a few moves.
>>562726652lol this is such loser cope

I am in one of those slumps where I've lost interest in chess. If I try to play now I lose every game no matter the strength of my opponent. Miss all their threats.I am down 200 points from my peak.
>>562733407That is cool if it means Carlsen will play on lichess again. I don't know if that's what it means though, I think he is involved with Sneed, Sneed, Sneed.
My friends found a casual chess night that a bar by us has twice a week and we're going tonight.They have a .com club and it has quite a few 2000+ players.
>>562733407This is amazing. Rensch might finally have some competition.
>>562734292That sounds like a based place. Where I live there is only one chess related thing. A single chess club that meets once a week and 80% of the players are 65+ years old.

I had no clue this existed either because the club is based a town over, but the bar they host the event at is a 10 minute walk away from me :3There's an NM who is in like every pic on the FB, I hope I can make it past move 10 if I get to play him.

>>562727203The best way to describe facing full power Stockfish is like you're reading a horror novel where the walls are closing in on you. You try this, you try that, nothing matters. Every trick you thought of to thwart your captor was already thought of and refuted before the thought even came to your mind. It's horribly beautiful.
ts ngas nose is crazy
>>562737674Just go there and have fun playing chess fren. You'll get annihilated, but that's part of the process. You'll also realize pretty quickly that a lot of titled players are some of the nicest, most down to earth people you'll ever meet. It's usually spergs in the 1500-2000 FIDE range with something to prove who tend to be the biggest dickheads and think they're God's gift to chess, at least at my club. I do go to the biggest and most competitive club in a country with a rich chess culture though, so YMMV.

>>562741587>they actively update and improve the game.gaymers like to bring this up and never realize it's a selfown, the shit they try to claim is better than chess is so shallow it gets stale in a couple months of playing at most and constantly need new content to keep people interested, chess has such depth countless people play it all their lives and not get bored of it
>>562741897He used to.
>>562741897He's streaming me a thought right now. It says you are gay.
>>562743886It depends are traps gay?
>>562744167No, obviously that's a straight man's heaven.

>>562735903yeah the fact that now you can't use the opening explorer without an account it's a clear tell
theoretically, how would you prevent cheating in a chess site? and no, IP range banning India isn't enough seeing as they infest every country around the world
>>562735903>>562746018deluded che$$cum assliftersthe account for opening explorer was because good ol danny mensch would rather pay for bots to DDOS lichess than try and compete fair and square
>>562744545That has more to do with anal being gross in general.
>freestyleWhen did this shit start? What’s wrong with 960?
>>562726019Serious question guys. What exactly is the line Russia crossed that the US did not. Or are they equivalent and the US is just too powerful to do that to.
>>562746798they made a new name so they could trademark it, same with slcc calling it 9lx
Fischer random
What makes r/chess so prone to Magnus dick-sucking? Is it a subconcious expression of their tendency to follow the crowd, and thus the best player?
>>562746798Chess960 really was the best name for it. It's chess, but with 960 possible starting setups. It just makes sense. Now what the fuck is freestyle? Shit sounds like a breakdancing competition.
Isn’t there only 959 starting positions in Freestyle Chess?
>>562749391959 + 1 (regular chess)
>>562726652I believe it. Wasn't some anon here who said he played a whole month with assistance without getting detected and that the analysts and time graph looked completely normal?
>>562749391>>562749625Do they throw out the vanilla position?
>>562752080Nope.

>>562746947Russia attacked a Jewish country Ukraine, while the USA attacked a country that opposes the Jews.
>>562753160Huh, interesting. So it's really Chess958 if positions 518 and 534 are removed.
>>562748470Gothamchess is reddit and therefore reddit worships him. Gotham repeatedly praises Magnus, so reddit is convinced Magnus is more important than he actually is. There are three chess players who have any significance outside the world of chess. Fischer led a soft power charge against the Soviet Union in the Cold War. Besides having the most news coverage ever for a chess event, it’s covered in many history courses. Judit Polgar is known for two reasons: for showing that women could be elite at chess, and for being an interesting data point in the nature/nurturing discussion. And Kasparov became a footnote in the history of AI when he lost to Deep Blue.Magnus hasn’t done anything for non-chess players to know of him. He’s just the current best player of all time (a title which is transferred every 20-30 years).
>>562753990What’s the second removed one?
So I’ve discovered playing on mobile is actually preferable. I’ve got an old Ipad I’m playing on for chess.com which is simply peak, the board fills the screen at just the right size and tapping and placing the pieces feels more like OTB. It’s too old to play on lichess though so I’m using my phone for that, which is less peak, but actually the lichess app is weirdly better than the actual site. Only exception is that computer analysis seems fucked, tried telling me an opponent with 64 centipawn loss and 3 blunders had 99% accuracy. But otherwise the app is actually superior.
>>562755019I assume that anon thinks king and queen switched is also taken out but it's not because castling rules make it different in fact they played it at grenke the other day
>>562754970I agree that Magnus will be forgotten quickly. He wrote no books, did nothing really historical, and was a weak WC in terms of WC matches. As soon as there’s a new best player in the world the recency bias that rated him so high will fade and he’ll be thought of as top 5ish and not super interesting.
>>562755907*as top 5ish all-time
>>562756054Nah that’s crazy, he’s #1 or #2 minimum
>>562756871This has been debunked. He was never as dominant as Fischer or Morphy, he didn’t reign very long like Lasker or Kasparov, he didn’t drive chess forward like Steinitz, he doesn’t have any legendary games like Andersen, he doesn’t have any essential books like Philidor, and he doesn’t have any famous openings like Botvinnik and Alekhine. He’s nothing but the current BOAT, and he won’t be that for long.
>>562756871I really don’t think so. He’s notable for his dominance of all time controls and the amount of total trophies he’s won across blitz, rapid and classical, but great players are remembered mainly as World Champions and as a WC his resumé isn’t great.-two close matches with past prime Vishy-close match with massive underdog Karjakin who actually took the lead at one point and induced an autistic Magnus melty. He pulled through-draw against Fabi, the Rapid tiebreaks are a meme. The WC is decided in Classical. They drew-Nepo self-distructing>Ok I’ve won so much and so easily that now I’m bored of this and don’t want to bother anymore at age 30!>*WC cycle left in dissaray, unworthy bums keep falling ass backwards into the throne because the best player of the generation isn’t there*He’s not going to look as good in history as recency bias makes him look today. He was an unremarkable and almost unlikeable WC. He has a case for top 5 based on his rating, playing strength, cross-discipline dominance, etc. but that’s it. I think in the near future there will be a new top 5 all-time candidate combined with other less trendy but solid candidates like Botvinik that could make even top 5 difficult.
>>562757525Forgot to mention that one of the reasons he quit the WC is because he wanted to make it a cross-discipline event to cater more to his strengths. So he also would have ruined the WC if he had had his way, just because he wasn’t doing as well as he would have liked in pure Classical WCs. Sad!
>>562754970Vishy is known for being India's WCC as well, he is definitely up there. I didn't think of Polgar but she also is up there, maybe not in contention for the most known but she follows soon after.
>>562758142Didn’t know about this. I thought he just wanted more money
>>562758572Idk about money, but from what FIDE intentionally leaked that was his request. His cope was that “it’s too difficult to win in Classical anymore because it’s mostly just preparation, we should include blitz and rapid to get more decisive results!” Meanwhile, Sindarov:…
>>562738479There was a whole tour that proved otherwise.
>>562756871#1 will always be Fischer, and I'm saying this as an Eastern European.
>>562758445>Vishy is known for being India's WCC as well, he is definitely up theremaybe by raw numbers because india is so populous but outside of india no one who isn't a chess enthusiast knows who he is, fischer magnus and kasparov are the only one non-chess players from the first world could have heard of depending on their age
>>562759053It’s hard to put him over Kasparov when Kasparov was basically just a better Fischer and reigned for a century. Fischer wouldn’t have been capable of a game like the Immortal Game, his most famous games like the “Game of the Century” were when he was sixteen against bums
>>562755529How is it different?
The comparison I’ve always liked is that Fischer is Mozart and Kasparov is Beethoven. Mozart was the better pure composer and died young, Beethoven reached the higher peaks and had the better career, ultimately putting him over top.
>>562759443Yeah. I meant like, if 1/10 Indians know Vishy, and 1/100 people in the world are in the chess sphere, then like 1/80 people at the very least are aware of Vishy and already the chess-world is out-numbered. I agree that in the wider non-chess world those three are them.>magnus: result when you search up "best chess player," highest rated player currently, in the news at times, best and dominant for a while>fischer: cold war stuff, best and dominant player for a while, controversial (though i don't know how much normies think of that)>kasparov: best and dominant player for a while
>>562759756if you "short castle" you end up in the standard long castle position and vice versa
Magnus said Fischer isn’t a genius and is overrated.
>>562760129Retarded slop, shut up
>>562760517Considering how redditoid hysterical his coach and close friend is about Russia, and how Magnus himself has talked about it, he’s probably a goodest goy with all the correct wholesome chungus opinions and dislikes Fischer for being le problematic.
>>562760746kys retard
If you're below 1000 and you won on time you didn't actually "win" you just threw pieces around and got lucky the other guy took too long to think.
>>562726652It’s true. Online chess is simply cooked. You can still play it but one should play it knowing that and not take it too seriously or you’ll have cortisol spikes to the moon

>>562757502Anyone who talks about Morphy in the context of top 5 players is not a serious person.Half this thread would adopt Morphy.
>>562762627Reminder that he actually admitted to shilling on here and probably still comes here to see what people are saying
>>562763090>Half this thread would adopt Morphy.HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA
>>562761951>isn’t a faggotA stark contrast to most Muslims I must say. Even their prophet (police be upon him) loved wearing eyeliner and taking it up the ass.
>>562763090Finegold thinks Morphy would crush him in a match. Probably just fanboying but interesting nonetheless.
>>562763090>Half this thread would adopt Morphy.when's your next blindfold simul?
>>562763417Yeah it’s fanboying. There’s a weird subset of mostly boomers who worship Morphy, Fischer was also one of them. It’s the same way they all unquestionably worship Israel. Boomers have worms for brains in the weirdest ways
>>562763479Yeah, I remember the obese Jew talking about that. Doesn't matter. Chess wasn't an evolved game at all at the time.
>>562763165Not what he said
>>562763583How much weaker do you think Morphy was than Lasker? Lasker was definitely stronger than Finegold lol.
>>562763165If you're reading this Thibault, just know you're a good man. You might be a communist faggot, but I have nothing but pure respect for the work you've done.
>>562763236>>562763417>>562763479Of course I was exaggerating, but if you put him against any modern GM it literally would be 1000 - 0. Not even meming. And how can that be your GOAT?
>>562763780Incels can't read. Lack of sex reduces one's ability to concentrate which in turn negatively affects reading comprehension. There's studies on it, look it up.
>>562763798I think prime Lasker beats prime Morphy in a match but it’d be competitive. It doesn’t take much further in that in history for Morphy to be outclassed. Capa or Alekhine would have dog walked him
>>562763936>Aman Hambleton would adopt Morphy 100 times in a rowYou should be committed to a mental asylum.
>>562764160It's true. At the time of Morphy they didn't even know about sacking an exchange as black in the Sicilian.
>>562763780>>562763982>Everyone just started randomly talking about my chess side project on 4chan and playing on it unprompted which I was there to see happen but never brought it up myself btw!Double digit IQs itt believe this
>>562758445>>562759443>>562760058Vishy doesn’t count, he’s just a national hero. Even if that’s the most by raw numbers it’s only from the region he’s from.
>>562763583There's even a Finegold video where he goes through a Morphy game giving him so many praises by conveniently doesn't point out where Morphy blundered a piece in one move to a queen check like a 1200 (but his opponent didn't see it either--- too high level a concept at the time).
We should make our own /chess/ site where Indians and catmixer aren't allowed.
>>562764140Lasker wasn't so far outclassed by Caps as you seem to think. You're probably only looking at their '21 match and disregarding their relative performances in tournaments leading up to it.
>>562763090Morphy is the most dominant player of all time and there isn’t a close second. He was about 400 points ahead of #2.
>>562759864Kasparov only reached the higher peak in play quality, and in that regard Magnus passed him. Kasparov’s problem is that he isn’t #1 in anything objectie. Subjectively he had the best career, but again, that’s subjective.
>>562764626Ok, so if there's a room of kindergartners and one fifth grader and we get rid of all other humans in the world, then that fifth grader becomes the best chess player in history? Biggest gap between his contemporaries.
>>562764548It’s possible. I do think Alekhine in particular would be a brutal matchup for Morphy. He’s just as tactically talented but also has strong positional understanding
>>562764814If my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle.
>>562765225So that's a yes?
>2026>have access to chess engines, constant online opponents and the wealth of all accumulated chess knowledge>still wouldn’t be able to compete with the Old Masters who had nothing but cigarettes and mouthy damesWhy even live
>>5627643034chan users love FOSS. Haven't you been on /g/?
Keep yapping, peasants. In reality, there's no serious discussion to be had on the topic of the greatest. Deep down you know I'm right and that makes you very, very angry.
>>562765806He’s definitely underrated
>>562764903Alekhine was much stronger than Morphy but modern GMs are frauds who are overly reliant on computer prep to make draws and deflate their ACPL.Alekhine would score above Nakamura in this year's Candidates.
Magnus vs Morphy. 100 games. What's the result?
>>562764290>sacrifices are a foreign concept to MorphyBait used to be believable you know.
You peasants not acknowledging Magnus as the GOAT deserve frauds like Ding and Pookesh as World Champ
>>5627659061)Carlsen2)Kasparov3)Karpov4)Fischer5)Botvinniktbhfamalam
>>562766386Explain how he’s the GOAT, understanding that rating doesn’t count and is infalted. Go.
>>562766303Not sacrifices in general. I am talking about the specific position sac of the exchange on c3 in the sicilian. That type of thing wasn't played much for decades even among the best players. That is how chess has evolved.
>>562766641nigga ranked karpov over fischer lmfao get the fuck off my website subhuman patzer
>>562766641Real unbiased answer:1) Carlsen2) Kasparov3) Caruana4) Aronian5) Topalov
>>562767076Nah it’s fair. You can’t rate Kasparov as highly as people do and not rate Karpov similarly. They were 1a 1b their whole careers I’d personally have Fischer over Karpov but it’s a genuine debate
>>562767076Fischer literally quit professional chess because he was too afraid of facing the Karp.Kope and seethe, ameribro. Maybe you'll get WC Caruana one day lmao.
>>562767250That's not true. Fischer quit because he wanted someone to listen to his demands, but it's what no one did.
>>562767041There was a usenet discussion on whether Alekhine had seen the sacrifice before and that turned out inconclusive, at least it seems so (I did not read the last half very carefully) so it's not impossible Morphy was not aware of it.https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.chess.misc/c/lU1xizDVycQJewgle warning btw
>>562767356Kek
>>562767356I laughed out loud.
>>562767221>They were 1a 1b their whole careersThis actually understate’s Karpov’s career. He was actually *Magnus’s age* when Kasparov first challenged him, and had already had a dominant career like Magnus beforehand. It was actually during *Kasparov’s* career that Karpov stuck around as close to his equal
>>562767730Karpov siphoned some of that unnatural longevity off Korchnoi using hypnotism and yoghurt-based alchemy.
>>562765292I don’t care about your silly hypothetical scenario but sure whatever.
>>562766917He made Fischer random more popular than Fischer ever did
>>562765806He reigned so long yet I feel like no one ever talks about him as a player. Seriously for world champions I feel like I only hear about Euwe and Smyslov less.
The thread has been talking about goats for 3 hours its starting to sound like an Afghani village

>>562769540
>>562726652>picI don't know how people live like that. Personally I immediately concede under any of these circumatances because I know I don't deserve to win anyways.>I blunder anything in the first 5 moves.>I'm the first to blunder a piece other than pawn>I blunder my queen ever>I come out of opening behind by 3 or more points>I let him fork me on anything other than pawns
>>562771835That’s because you have a soul. Most people don’t
>>562771835Kek in those situations I turn SSJ3 (SuperScamJeet3) and start setting up tricks all across the board. It works a lot but then again I'm only 1900 chess.scam rapid. But yeah it depends on amount of material that's left and especially the pawn structure.
>>562771835I’ll play on in some “lost” situations like blundering a Queen if I feel like my position is still playable and I genuinely doubt my opponent’s ability to convert. I can often win those games. But generally speaking I agree, and Never Resigners get blocked. Especially unconscionable are the ones that try for stalemate every game.
>>562767959and Korchnoi is another underrated great, maintaining his strength well into his sixties. Probably a greater #2 than Caruana.
>>562773527People like you are the reason why I send unhinged messages like >HAHAHAHAHHA I WON I WON I WON YOU LOST I WON HAHAHA I'M A WINNER YOU'RE A LOSER GET IT HAHAHA YOU LOST YOU LOSTafter I swindle a win from some honorabiru samurai who always pushes wood justly and chivalrously.
>>562774183Nobody reads that because you play on licucks and are shadowmuted.
>>562771835this is too much, play on until the position is lifeless at least. being down a piece is far from a death sentence until you are very very good and fighting for some initiative down material can be educational>because I know I don't deserve to win anyways.no shitter ever truly "deserves" to win, but we do nonetheless

What explains Hikaru's historic choking even by his standards? no meme answers like he doesn't even care bro please
>>562780838He failed to find the right balance of caring.
>>562766386He’s the boat, not the goat.
>>562780838He has been sitting on his rating farming 1900s in mickey mouse tournaments for two years he never was WC material but now he’s washed and his prep team is shit apparently
>>562766386Ding and Pookesh being champion are a direct result of Magnus being a faggot. Proof he isn’t the GOAT.
>>562781578"Pookesh" means "King" in Hindi

All the ruzzians from the 40s-60s are frauds and should be in D tier
>>562762386Does anyone in the entire world of chess talk about the fact that America is about to level Iran on the behest of Israel? Funny how the same incels who whined and cried about violence against protesters have nothing to say about 200 little girls getting bombed. >>562762750Because Fischer is dead whereas Kasparov still plays all the time in exhibitions. Common sense.
>>562783431Steinitz, Morphy and Ding too high. Botvinnik, Bronstein and Keres too low. Marshall and Nakamura shouldn't be there or there should be another lower tier. Otherwise good list.

The brown lashes out in fear.
>>562784337>Does anyone in the entire world of chess talk about the fact that America is about to level Iran on the behest of Israel? Hikaru did. Bro actually fell for the propaganda that we'd do an actual regime change instead of just occasionally bombing random civvies for fun.
>>562786829Hikki is definitely a big murdering over a hundred schoolgirls enjoyer.
How do you guys respond as Black when White plays the King's Gambit?Furthermore, Israel must be destroyed.
Jewish game btw. We support Israel itg. If you want to Nazi out, you know the board.
>>562786829The US nuked his home country
Hikaru can still win the candidates if he goes 7/7 in the second half
>>562787434I’ve been playing the Fischer Defense with d6 and then g5 g4 where it’s a known meme line to go Bc4 and give up the knight on f3 with just 0-0. I like to make them think they amazed me with that sac and then make them prove it, which they can’t. If they play Ng1 instead just Qh3+ gives good play. But I’m reassessing all my weak prep lately and will be reassessing that one too ASAP.
>>562787434D5
>>562787434Ba3
>>562787893Example game btwhttps://lichess.org/Zh9sOIuv/blackPeople really play this pretty frequently, I think because Stjepan’s dumbass retardedly recommends it as a nifty line and superior option to Ng1 in an opening video iirc
>>562788020this, and then c6 if exd
If you decline the King’s Gambit you should kill yourself btw

>>562792208This is true
I like cheating
>>562782472I've seen poker players win more than that in a single tournament. Chess is pathetic.

>>562784337Nothing ever happens.
>>562787434exf4 and have a thriller of a game
What’s up with Karla not dropping in for the candidates. What a bitch. We literally worship her, the least she could do is swing by during big events.
If whatsapp was in /chess/ xD
Such beautiful pictures are only possible while drunk late at night while playing blitz
>>562794260Probably pregnat and busy with school. She’s too serious for us incel chuds now

>>562795132Oh just some faggot who LARPed like he was changing /chess/ or something. I wanted a scene to represent the general.
>>562795254What happened to him and why did he fail?
I think I just played the guy that plays bad openings just to switch on the engine game later.
>>562795354Nobody joined and he ragequit the genny. He’s probably still here in actuality
>>562795628I have a funny feeling he was one of us all along.

>>562796445He posted earlier.
>>562759504I think that game against Topalov is overrated, it was a blunder, Kasparov has better games than that one... and Magnus has never had an immortal game, and no, that one against a guy that let him do the mate when he was a kid doesn't count... really forgettable games.
>>562765806>never plays any tournaments as wc>gives up the title multiple times>in his prime he makes Bronstein throw by threating his family >wrong about Karpov, wrong about his dogmatic thinking of chess>is a commie faggotyeah nah this bitch deserves to be left out of every discussion
>>562796414Stockfish does not like both of you, but fortunately does not like your opponent slightly more.
>>562796714>I think that game against Topalov is overrated, it was a blunderYeah and you every other brainlet who heard that and didn’t understand what it meant. It wasn’t a “blunder” as in “oh shit!” there was just a nifty king move that would have saved black and resulted in technical equality. It was also extremely unlikely to be found which is why Kasparov initially overlooked it and Topalov didn’t find it either.You don’t judge games based on whether both sides played like absolute 100% Stockfish, it’s a game played between humans and is a war of individual understanding and temperament. That game is literally the 9th symphony of chess and you’re such a fart-sniffing pseud that you choose to pretend like you “don’t respect it”. No, you just don’t understand chess.
