The new york state championship

so did sindarov cheat or what. we need a new netflix drama

>>563081523
and he did it while drawing the designated jobber twice just to send a message

what's the rundown on the new kid? why should I hate him? also is he that good or did everyone else choke hard for some reason

What's the deal with airplane Sindarovs?

>>563086521
>why should I hate him?
You shouldn't. You should be glad he's the new gen z rising star. Just look at his games against Prag.

>>563082738

He's been winning with the best prep tho

If magnus kept playing, we could have had some karpov-kasparov type kino in this next wcc. Instead he sharted and farted and left prematurely while he was still the best player to deny us of that.

>>563087282
He sac'd a knight on g5 and it gave double exclams. I just checked so I could meme about it and it's no longer the case. I guess you're right boring boring chess engine shitters are kings. Grim.

sindarov is a dumbass just like most pro chess players

He's crazy good and super talented and people are mad because change and uncertainty are upsetting and scary.

Yep. Will always be a stain on his legacy, which is already mid as is. You can get away with retiring early when you’re Fischer, not with his WC record. He hopes people will believe he retired because he was just bored of being so much better and it was no longer worth the time investment. He retired because he wasn’t doing as well in world championships as he should have

Name the time he won 20 games in a row against Candidates level competition like Fischer, or spotted one of the best of all time 2 games in a WC match and still won
Name his immortal game
Name the best player he beat in a WC match. Fabi? Oops, that was in Rapid!
Kasparov and Fischer utterly mog him as Classical players. Magnus’s legacy is based on his *cross-discipline* dominance, not his Classical results, which are mediocre. You would right if you said he was the strongest *all-around* player, but that’s not what you said, and perhaps, now you have learned something.

>>563103858
Magnus doesn't even have an immortal game... and no, that one as a kid was just laughable although that one is better than the "immortal game" by Kasparov which is basically a 1500 chess.com blunder and everyone was in awe because, well, because it was Kasparov

Why can't wytebois win the Candidates anymore?

>>563103858
You guys should define "greatest" because an immortal game is entirely irrelevant to skill, so is however many players you beat in a row or how hard you dunked on your opposition in a wc match

>>563109617
Greatest = dominance. Distance between you and #2. Which for Magnus is quite small considering he tied in two consecutive world championship matches, in one of them not winning a single game.

Magnus is the BOAT, not the GOAT.

>>563111992
Decent is the right word. He was past his prime but still world championship material so, decent. Magnus’s only truly Stronk opponent was Fabi at his peak, and he drew him.

I forgot the Candidates were going on kek.

If Sindarov wins a single nother game then it's basically over because all he has to do is draw and it's literally impossible for anyone else to win if he manages that. 1 win and 3 draws would put him at 10.5 and even Anish at 6 would not reach him if he won every game. If he draws everything out he lands at 10 points and Fabi is incapable of reaching him from his 5. Really all he needs to do to kick Fabi out is get 1.5 points which 3 draws is enough for. And he doesn't even need to do any of that unless Fabi or Anish go on a crazy streak and win all 4 next games. So the conclusion is we should get started on the Sindarov/Gukesh memes

This game is so gay and full shit. There’s something unbalanced about it, simple as. There’s no reason I should be so completely winning an entire game and then ONE weird little move topples the whole house of cards and my opponent is now winning. No real game is like this, name one other real game where you destroy your opponent and then lose in one move. Imagine in poker you absolutely milk your whale and then with his final 3 chips he wins your entire mountain stack. Embarrassing for this shit game that even gambling is more legitimate as a game.

Not a “trap” but the safest way to respond is with an instant c5 as soon as they go into a London. Here’s a typical line
1. d4 d5
2. Nf3 Nf6
3. Bf4 c5
4. e3 Nc6
5. c3 e6
7. Bd3 Bd6

It’s just solid and equal, which is good for black.

You can't really rape the London, that's why they play it. However, you can go for the two sirs(double fianchetto). It's unusual, something will happen on the diagonals and against the London it's actually good.

>>563155418
I'll have you know I don't just copy and paste computer lines, I plan around what I think the most likely lines will be and choose what suits my style by playing through them on the board, and only then checking against an engine and making some adjustments. I have multiple lines against the King's Gambit that are 20 moves deep and utterly rape and haven't gotten to play any of them, despite them all being extremely probable. Here's a kino one for example:
1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 d5
4. exd5 Nf6
5. c4 c6
6. dxc6 Nxc6
7. d4 Bb4+
8. Nc3 0-0
9. Bxf4 Re8+
10. Be2 Ne4
11. Rc1 Qf6
12. Bg3 Nxd4!
13. Nxd4 (Qxd4... Qh6 14. 0-0 Bc5) Bg4!
14. Rf1 Qb6
15. a3 Bxc3
16. Bxc3 Bxe2
17. Nxe2 (Kxe2 or Qxe2... Nxc3!) Rad8
18. Qc2 (Qa4... Nc5!) Rd2
19. Bf2 Qd6
if one more cope try
20. c5 Qa6!

>>563155968
wow you guys are amazing, can you really just look at this notation and imagine a full game in your mind?

>>563156461
Yes but it's better to copy the moves onto an analysis board so you can analyze it properly

>>563155968
This nigga doing world championship tier prep for an online video game

>>563156809
Yeah my only weakness at this point for my rating is preparation so I decided to go full Fischer lately and properly prepare. Number one on my list was King's Gambit, then White against the Alekhine, the two most annoying openings for me to play against. I'm prepped to the teeth against both now, with my own personal prep too so it's even more venomous, except that of course now nobody plays either against me. :)

>>563157076
What’s the difference between “personal prep” and just regular prep and why is it “more venomous”?

>>563157271
Like I described above, personal prep is playing things out on the board yourself. You anticipate what a human on your level would be most likely to play, rather than simply the objective "best move", and play through your options. Then you check it against an engine and see what improvements it makes, but the general direction of the line is your own, and is what you're most comfortable with playing, which is important in case play deviates from your prep.
Regular prep is just book theory. It's stuff that everyone knows. So for instance, a Hanging Pawns video. Wars contested between regular preparation are about how much each can remember of the line, and then how well you understand the resulting position when you start playing on your own. It's "less venomous" because there's not likely to be an element of surprise. Your opponent knows the same line you do and knows the general ideas.
So for instance, in Candidates, what they're playing is mostly personal prep. They've not only prepared their own prep in general, but even prep for specific opponents, anticipating their most likely individual responses. This seems to be something Sindarov has done especially well. And this is different from regular preparation of just known theory

>>563157649
As an example, everything up to h5 in this move is book theory.
Sindarov's personal prep begins with 10. Bd3! Nobody has played this before, because you're willingly trapping your bishop. The book theory, instead of Bd3, is h4, Nxg3.
Sindarov stunned Pragg with Bd3, and he proceeded to think for an hour before his next move. That's personal prep compared to Pragg's book theory.

>>563158787
I did actually still destroy the guy based on some of my prep’s ideas, I lost because I blundered a full piece for no reason :)

why the fuck do these jobbers need 4 (four) rest days? it's ridiculous.

what happens if say Vaishali beats Ju Wenjun and Sindarov loses to Gukesh? will you finally stop being racist and acknowledge that Indians are smarter than you?

The only other player close to beating me in my Champion's League just got banned for obvious cheating trying to catch up (12-game rapid win streak with 97-99% accuracy in all their games).
The chess.com leagues are worthless meaningless garbage, but it was worth wasting a week of my life to make some retard throw away their account and all their chess.com achievement progress.

>>563162929
I've never been racist, but the idea of Gookesh beating SindaGOD is utterly laughable.

>>563155418
Why does your frog look like the strait of Hormuz?

>>563155968
20 moves of prep is always gonna be useless. The only one who is gonna follow it for more than 5 moves is an engine cheater.

Let me check your line on lichess' database then.
13. Nxd4 has never happened. The position just before that has occurred only 20 times in 7.6 billion games. It's not strange at all that it will never happen to you in your life

Nh5 to grab that motherfucking juicer.

>>563170749
Nta, he lost the title to Kramnik after 15 years of reign but he was still technically the strongest player in the world when he retired five years later.

>>563171834
That applies to Magnus too. He’s been #1 for like 13 years and will continue to be unless Windarov continues his run.

>>563153282
Good luck fren.

Alright. This is my kind of general. Fabi can still win, mathematically speaking.

So is it a better use of my time to study good openings, like the slav? Or should I learn how to punish the common bad ones, like the chigorin or something?

if I'm new I should stick to 1.e4 yes?

Nah, you'll get no respect like that on the streets. Open d4 and just kind of hope for the best.

what city you in. Simply curious.

There's this freak, stalker german gorephile that scares me and he has a small interest in chess so I will not be posting information that could be used in combination with other information he already has about me to narrow down my location.
Sorry :x

He's really bad at chess, so I doubt he's here, but I'd rather be cautious.

If I was him, I wouldn't try to coax information out of you to fill out my doxx. I would listen to what you had to say, and that's what he never did.

I thought I was going to get to sit quietly at my desk for 10 minutes and just leave...

Is anyone still playing? Playing a tad flamboyant

>>563211758
they played random bullshit, every single one of them. I don't even know if those openings have names. The hedgehog, the two sirs, the french (but delayed c4), some reversed stonewall dutch with white, the english and the caro-kann...
I had a pretty cool knight sack in the french game against a 1800 which led to mate, that was my favourite. The games were relatively close but I had an easy time/never losing with the 1700s and not many chances at all against the 1900s, that sort of thing

>>563217135
Something similar happened to me at my first tournament kek. I prepped lines against E5, Caro, Sicilian, and French, only for my opponents to play the Alekhine, Scandi, Pirc, and Nimzowitsch instead. You can't make this shit up.

Post more games I’m having fun.

GM fellow /chess/ fren.

I'm done with blitz. Fucking nigger shit. Don't know why i even play this.

>>563274989
Quitting blitz was the best thing I ever did for myself. It's the most cancer time control. Just play rapid when you actually want to improve and bullet when you want to fuck around.

>>563274989
you should play all time controls. rapid to think carefully and learn new ideas, blitz to get faster and make them automatic, bullet to ingrain in muscle memory.

>>563276381
Boolet is actively harmful to your chess, zoombro.

>>563276381
I don't think bullet will help but I do think maintaining a decent blitz rating relative to your slower ratings helps for time scrambles
