Magnus vs Arjun was a slurper
Someone mentioned “sad” in the last thread…
>>565474179>nickname is "the madman">plays the petrovwhat did he mean by this?
>>565476106Playing mind games
>>565476106The Petrov is overhated, it often leads to more entertaining positions than other more common openings.
>>565478259wow! that’s interesting! we are so back now.
It's great to be back right HERE on /vg/!
Fischer random is funny
>>565478259The lichess stats look rough for black. Tarrasch defense tier bad in some natural looking lines with wins hovering around 40%.
Anyone drinking and playing tonight?
>>565444424No one here is new. New members would search for a chess thread on tg.
I hate it here.

gay chess IM greg shahade dethroned a long-reigning jeopardy champion.as far as i can tell, jeopardy fans hated him, and celebrated when he finally lost a few days later.why are we so unlikeable chessbros???
>>565499169I like Greg. I’ve seen every video on his channel.I miss the ICC days. Those were the golden days of online chess. Greg and chess explained (Christof) would regularly post their blitz games. What happened to us chess bros?
Time well spent as always
What do you guys think of the protest poster I made?
>>565513020Subtle yet quality ragebait. I like it
Anyone drinking and playing?
>>565515680Thanks sometimes I feel like I’m the only one contributing OC to the thread but I know there’s at least one other really creative and funny guy here (you)
>>565515982I'm flattered.
>>565513020I don't get it. How are you going to have a game without me? Also, nooticing. /tg/ thread - we're the cool guys here, a-amirite?. /vg/ thread - boo this place sucks. Curious is all.
https://lichess.org/XYpmNAv810+0 anyone?
>>565490759same
>>565519098Post it again? I had to go pick up a drunken girl because I’m a cuck now she’s passed out in my bed and I’m drinking wine alone. Such a cliché
>>565526790I've been in this situation a few times. One girl woke up in the morning and was surprised I didn't try to rape her wtf lol. I fucked the shit out of her that morning though.
>>565526790I'm on mobile but I could play a game
>>565527896https://lichess.org/ZFHqMuEl
>>565527818Hell yeah brother I have a side girl asking me to drug her and rape her in her sleep, wtf am I supposed to do??? And in the morning we’d play chess.
>>565528145GGs my wife says hi

>>565547068why don’t you cry and whine about it zoomer? that has done wonders for the other aspects of your life!
>kind of accept the thread's dead for good this time>I was ready to move on but check it one last time>we're backone last ride frens
>>565547068
>>565488489Not to sound like Jordan Peterson, but I guess it depends on what you mean by new. I've been here for like six months, and I know little to nothing about the drama. All I know is you guys are /tg/ immigrants and that everyone hates catmixer for some reason.
>>565551693
We can chat on IRC, #chess.space on Rizon, I'll ban any schizos

Zhu Jiner being in this tournament is a humiliation ritual
I don't know how I do it sometimes.<(￣︶￣)>
Chess mafia will bring a literally who bug foid instead of let hans beat magnus again
>>5654727851400 fide is shit tier. Any talentless brat can hit that in a couple of months, quit at 12yo because vidyia is better or whatever and then come back to chess as an adult after seeing a Pozman video.
>>565513020>no black kingWe gotta talk.
shogi news: Shinichiro Hattori defeated Yoshiharu Habu to become the challenger for the 97th Kisei title match. Habu actually had a winning position with forced mate, but with only three minutes left, missed the mate and blundered into a loss. This is Hattori's first time challenging for a title.The first game will be played 6/4.
Easy win for Magnus
Easy win for the team
>>565576147If I was going to use it at a real protest I’d use the version without any “crowns” so no king and queen both sides
>>565574464Post the game? Curious to see that blunder!
Erdogmus has some truly schizophrenic time management. He plays 15 moves to get to time control with sub 3 minutes (somehow getting a winning position against Arjun in the process) and then is back below 5 minutes by move 43. This kid is something else

>>565594095>q: Curious if you could comment on your relationship with Kramnik since Danya’s sad passing. >I don’t know how close you were exactly with Danya, but when you were falsely accused of cheating, he didn’t jump on the bandwagon, and he gave you I think a fair-handed interview.>Have you maintained your relationship with Kramnik since then? Have you broached the topic with him at all?>a: Danya was a member of the chess mafia I’m glad Kramnik killed himDid Moke go too far?
>hey danny we came off looking like assholes in the documentary didn't we?>yeah erik but don't worry I have a great idea that will make us look like the good guys!everyone in chess is autistic to some degree but you'd think they'd consult PR before doing something like this, 0 selfawereness

>>565563737IRC? What the fuck is this? 1995? Just make a Discord server like a normal person.
>>565568258first time i saw it was /chess/
>>565603109True. Make a discord so we can livestream ourselves jerking off to Alua like normal people do on discord servers
>>565603109discord is aids especially with the age checking bs around now, im not giving my ID to themi was kinda thinking of trying setting up vichan or something and we can have our own chesschan. dunno if its worth it though as this place is already kinda dead
>>565609873Why do you want to kill this general so badly? I don't get it.
>>565611961?
>>565597379They are dumb as fuck>>565595951I'm pretty sure he's had handlers or PR training for the past year or so, but it never comes off right. Wish the guy could just talk openly
>>565594095the ama was very boring.
Why did Fischer lie about e4 being the best? d4 scores way better.

http://live.shogi.or.jp/eiou/kifu/11/eiou202605030101.htmlhttps://abema.tv/now-on-air/shogiThe third game of the 11th Eio title match is being played, between Takumi Ito (sente, the Eio title holder) and Shintaro Saito. The time control is 4 hours per player, and the match is a best of 5 (Ito leads 2-0).
Page 10 negrobump brought to you by Maurice Ashley.
>>565635786Thank you Nigger
>>565630784the opening was sente's static rook vs. gote's ranging rook (4th file rook). this is unusual because Saito is usually exclusively a static rook player.
>>565641418
>>565574464>33 average centipawn loss>97% accuracyLechess is a joke.
>>565603109IRC is vastly superior tho
I bought into the hype. After reading a few other chess books, Silmans “The Amateurs Mind” is incredible. I’m hard stuck at 1500 and for the first time in a year I have felt and fully understood higher level chess concepts thank you to that book. It was a wonderful, wonderful read and now I’m moving onto his reassess your chess book.
>>565526790>>565527818Same. It was a very confusing lesson I learned in my 20s. This girl invited me over, took shots with me, told me dozens of times she doesn’t put out easily and wasn’t looking for sex. I was thinking, “ok whatever, I’ll leave tomorrow morning when I’m not buzzed and move on with my life…” she went into her room to sleep and let me stay on her couch. 20 min later she asked me to sleep in her bed. Once I didn’t try anything on her she asked for a massage. Once I didn’t start sexually touching her during the massage she just flat out said, “ok I’m actually really turned on and want you so badly…” so if chess taught me anything, it’s that some defenses are just for show and if you’re patient, good things happen.
Source tells me Ben Finegold is stable.Please god.
>>565648120Things are a little bit more brutal these days though. Imagine what strategy this could could have employed. An impossible chess position.
Guess the elo of the players here
>>565650163Hikaru?
>>565650163>>565650634Probably quite high considering how drawn out the conversion was
>>565650634More like hikar-who? Got em!
>>565550120i'll be bumping the vagina general till the day i die nigga.
>>565657964What time is it there?
>>565658652it's 1 pm here in mumbai currently.
>>565648984Perhaps you’re right. This was 12 years ago and I’ve been married for 10.
wtf lichess? does jigjog mean what i think it means?
>>565657964kinda based
Has anyone noticed lichess analysis getting slower this past few weeks? Other than the first few move of the opening I often have to wait some 30seconds of "calculating moves" after a game then it starts giving the eval instantly for every position
>>565669019No, but the opening explorer has definitely been bugging out lately. Call me a schizo if you want, but I believe it's Rensch getting his payback because Lichess partnered with TTT.
>>565669019they said they'd been getting ddos'd previously which contributed to general site slowness and was the reason they restricted database to logged in users, maybe related?fuck danny for that shit
>>565674726>Call me a schizo if you want, but I believe it's Rensch getting his payback because Lichess partnered with TTT.there is nothing schizo about that no one other than .scam has any incentive to ddos lichess, it's the most reasonable guess
it's ICC pulling the strings
>>565584436Well it's pretty embarrassing but here it is.
>>565680249Elo? Not to put you down, but your accuracy was so high because your opponent played horribly. No way anyone above 800 doesn't see that discovered check on the queen.
>>565681462>Elo?~1200 lichess
>>565681541Yeah that should be right around 800 CC. Good game regardless anon. Keep it up and you'll quickly become even better.
>>565681803Thanks for the encouraging words.
>>565630784Saito won in 116 moves. The next game will be played on 5/23.

Why is the chess general so slow? Does no one on 4cuck play chess? Is that why the IQ is so staggeringly low here? Or is chess just boring for weebs?
>>565727343I’ve been playing rapid all day. I could post some games but people don’t really do that here. No one comments or even watches them.

>>565744523Is Kramnik based? Reddit hates him which makes me kind of like him. He looks like someone who would post here.

>>565761210My girlfriend says it’s hot but my neighbours hate it. Imagine, 1am you’re trying to sleep and all you hear is your neighbour going super saiyan every night, morning, etc
>>565758553the most active times were during the A N A L P E R L E N sagahere it was the Danya deathof course the WCs and the Candidates are always big
>>565762187When Danya died everything changed.
>>565761818>hate itWhat a prude. He could also be gooning.
>>565762626How often do you think Magnus goons? Does he schedule in goon sessions into his day? What’s his secret
>>565763448I think he just yells lets fight at his wife and they go have sex.
>>565763858He loudly announces, “Mate!” And the both quickly scurry to the bedroom.
>>565764208>Last one in is on the bottom!I choose to believe he slams her into the door frame if she's ahead of him. Champion mindset
>>565764920And then he swaps wives with Hikaru for the night
>>565759958He isn’t a chud all he does is call out cheaters
>>565766197I reckon AI will soon be good enough to generate your Wife Swap fantasy.
>>565759958He's based and /chess/ approved. Normies just hate him for pointing out the obvious. Yes, online chess will always have (closet) cheaters. No, there's nothing you can do about it.
https://youtu.be/xuhe0PrIm8UWhat getting accused of cheating by /chess/ chuds does to a mf.
>>565773934everyone knows this and that's not at all what he does
>>565776136>>565776145Same person btw
Somehow when the samefagging freak shows up it’s even worse than when the general is just naturally dead. With all the self-replies and the same old same posts.

>>565893537He beat Ben Finegold he’s obviously the strongest 1600 in the world
is switching from e4 to something much more uncommon like c4 actually a good way to boost your rating like that one anon showed us? i'm only like 1400 dotcom, but my thinking is that if i know the positions better than all my opponents, i should have an edge, rather than just playing into typical e4 positions, which is what most people in my rating range play and play against all the time.
>>565897367>inb4 openings don't matter just do puzzlesi know, and i agree. i'm just trying to get an extra advantage over <2000 dotcom opponents.

>>565930717>even if i dontso you’ve never had a girlfriend by age 30 or so. you have lost this argument. >>565935947yes. there is nothing they don’t get neurotic and self-centered about.
>>565957369it's what levy recommends (so they're based).
>gf requirement around 30 or soMan the standards in this club are too high. I'll never win an argument again.
Another day in the office.
I really like the way Erdogmus plays. He has an *active* universal style similar to Magnus but also kind of his own feel for the game. Magnus can often make moves that only make sense to Magnus and look unaesthetic or unnatural, Erdogmus always plays so smoothly and logically. His pieces always land on the board just the right way and spring to life exactly when needed. It's so clean and strong and just pure class. It's going to be a treat to see him make history in real time, Magnus' ascension was before my time
Fagnus almost lost to a woman with 300 less elo and people think he's not washed?
>>565993323He didn't, he intentionally played dubiously to be able to get a decisive result. He conceded a temporarily worse position to outplay her later, that's what he has to do because everyone just plays him for a draw. Eval-bar sophisticates made more of it than there really was, and it didn't help that he was a gentleman after and didn't say the truth, but just politely said "yeah she outplayed me". Now all you undiscerning mongoloids take it as gospel
Strong grandmasters are not easy to beat on demand if they're determined to draw. So the stronger of the two will normally go out of his way to avoid a drawish game and invite complications, usually by temporarily conceding the advantage, because the person playing sharply is going to be playing less accurately by necessity. Whereas, as long as you play soundly and not equally recklessly, you will temporarily accept the conceded advantage. It doesn't mean you are actually "outplaying" your opponent, you're just taking what you're being given. But the idea of playing like that is that although Zhu was technically better, it's a complicated win or lose kind of position where a player's class plays a major factor. Magnus was counting out on outclassing her later, which of course he did, and he was always going to.This is why he played 1. Nf3 to begin with. He played an opening that avoided theory and just wanted to see how she chose to configure her pieces so that he could proceed to complicate the game and confuse her. It's literally just rope-a-doping
we larping again as chess gurus huh

>>566038078I think this is correct. QGD is a little boring, but it's basically the best try objectively.
>Peter Svidler is on record saying the Caro is the best weapon against e4 to play for a win>/chess/ memes it as a boring opening>Semi-Slav was the battle ground for many 2000 WC matches and it's in the repertoire of many dynamic players>uhm actually it's just a boring opening And the funniest thing is the opening doesn't even matter. The opening larpers are like that kid in my club that always brags about buying Chessable courses, "mastering a certain opening in a couple hours"(he rote memorized the mainlines) and tries to talk expertly on our opening moves and then gets rekt in equal endgames or sharp middlegames.

Sindarov's performance in this Rapid event is unironically concerning. Future GOATs aren't Classicalbabbies and incompetent in all other time controls. It's looking like he's actually the next Gukesh, and had a random Classical peak out of nowhere due to coaching and preparation / lucky good form, and he'll fall off soon the same way.It's always been Erdogmus and only ErdogmusIronically, Sindarov's candidates performance is the best since: Topalov. And most likely, he'll end up being the losing side of a few immortal games when Erdogmus comes fully into his power

Zhu went 2/7 and gained rating.
Erdogmus blundered
Erdogmus is very strong but he misplayed this endgame rather terribly. The position after 42. b4 is a very clear draw with the knight and pawns on dark squares preventing the king from infiltrating, actually quite instructive but it's shocking to see a 2700 GM who doesn't recognize that (or who thinks that black could play for a win against Magnus of all people with knight vs. bishop and white's pawns so much more advanced).In a way this just shows he has a ton of room for improvement.

>>566194557Its easy to draw against shitnusHis "unbeaten streak" was just every shitter on earth drawing him forever
>>566175639>How do I get over ladder restart anxiety?I struggled with this a lot until I realized rating literally means nothing. It's genuinely just a system designed to make you win around 50% of your games and lose around 50%. Win or lose, does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? I'm not trying to sound philosophical, but you already know you're never going to be the best player in the world, and you know you're not the worst either, so why stress this much over a hobby?
I played the London on accident for the first time yesterday and discovered it's actually a really solid opening that I begrudgingly keep using without even knowing what I'm doing yet achieving good results
>>566195387>+1 system shitter to overcome on the battlefieldGood.
>>566195918I don't count as a system shitter if I don't even know the system and play it with an open mind.

>>566198615I've never seen my good friend do that. I've only ever seen him speak in self defense against you guys' relentless bullying
>>566198615I remember, he was making fun of zoombam, the only way you could interpret it the way you just said is if you are zoombam. You were so mad that day and he was mocking you and laughing at you specifically. It had nothing to do with anyone else. Quit being a lying faggot.
>>566199180I am not zoombam, but you are catmixer. Everyone in the thread except for catmixer and his personalities was put off by his behavior that day.
>>566199451The only one that wants people to believe that false narrative is the person who benefits from it, which is you. You’re pathetic. You’re still this embarrassed about your epic loss that day?

>>566204602So you don’t know any other "immortal game" got it. And I stole the 1800 elo quote from another anon because it’s true and funny
>>566205036No, you didn't.
*ahem*>sindarov without cheat prep
What is "cheat prep"
>>566085667Itodani's sealed move was 60. P-15.
It's funny how often going into a game with the mindset of "I am literally Magnus Carlsen and am going to play a perfect positional game" quickly becomes "I am Garry Kasparov and saccing all my pieces" because tactics flow from superior position and online niggas can't into positional play at all. I just want to be able to grind someone down into an endgame but they're so shit that I just end up attacking and dismembering them out of the opening

>>566221787How are they severely misplaced while doubled against black's king
>>566222401Your doubled rooks look scary but there's no way they could penetrate on c7 when black has it defended by the queen, king, and bishop.

>>566229724What caused you to get so obsessed with balding anyways? You must be balding yourself or something right? This kind of obsession must be the result of some kind of projection.
>>566230053lol zoomer thank you, genuinely. you have answered my question as honestly as you can. >yes that was you whining and crying about it >yes you think two wrongs make a right >yes you are so pathetic you change to uppercase pretending to be someone else thank you.

>>566254839>>566256484he gained rating both in this tournament and tatasteel, his match opponents were past their prime but calling topalov and svidler 2500s is ridiculous, the other was MVL who is still active and holding above 2700

Thoughts on Michael De la Maza and his approach to chess improvement? I honestly think he's spot on, and the people who hate him are just redditoids who would rather larp as positional players by reading Silman than actually put in the work and improve their tactical ability.

>>566262952>Michael De la Mazawho?
>>566265156He's a well-known adult improver who claims positional play below the master level is a meme and came up with a chess training method where you go all in on tactics and visualization exercises until you can do 1000 puzzles in a day. He got to 2041 USCF insanely fast doing this.

But this dude is like>HAHA I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING>HAHA LOOK AT THIS TRAP>HAHA I KNOW THIS LINE I'VE STUDIED EVERYTHING LIKE THE STINKY NERD I AMI managed to hold on despite no chess knowledge whatsoever. Then the dickhead just resigned the moment he lost all initiatives. Fucking deserved.
>>566273212what? He resigned when he went down a queen for a rook. I didn't catch the traps
>>566231687oh so what you are saying is that you don’t mind when people joke around about it. that’s good. because to be an edgelord who draws the line at balding is hilarious.
>>566274013>what? He resigned when he went down a queen for a rook. Maybe he forgot i still have 2 rooks. That one up there is kinda hard to catch when you're too excited.>I didn't catch the trapsi didn't either, i didn't even know theories and stuff. Maybe he had some of them earlier, but i don't care. I just simply focus on surviving. Crushing his ego was so satisfying.
>>566276708Are you playing white or black? I had assumed you were playing white but your post leads me to believe otherwise.

>>566278397zoomers (in the /chess/ scene) are balding early and it causes them to get very upset when somebody makes a little joke about it.
Mokebros Jobi is catching up
>>566262952If you want to see the result of this look up "errant knights" chess blogs and so, many of them quit chess because they were doing tactics non-stop with no results
I don't understand why sometimes when I run stockfish on a position with one or two forced continuations it takes forever to get to a high depth.
>>566126805And thats a good thing
>>566248792Definitely higher than 750. More like 1000

I lost to a child born in 2017 at da club, it's over, isn't it, I didn't even play bad he's just better
>>566307123I played drew against a Chinese 10 year old girl in an OTB tournament game. Later she became a WFM at like 12. Sometimes kids are good.
>>566307123The unfortunate truth of the matter is if kids and smelly old farts being unreachably better upsets you, chess is not the hobby for you. To be honest, I also fucking hate playing kids. All my otb losses and worst games are against kids. Just put a boomer or a normal guy in front of me and it's all good but if it's a kid, I'm getting nervous. Couldn't tell you why this is. Maybe it's their total lack of respect in the way they play, or that I don't really wanna upset kids, or perhaps that you only stand to lose a lot and win nothing against kids but it's just a shitty situation.
>>566308009>>566308896I beat him before but man he plays infinite moves of theory, it's so annoying. I might have to start chudo kanning him instead of fighting in the ruy lopez

>>566322682Personally, I don't like what engines have done to chess.Imagine how great chess was 50+ years ago.No engines at all. You yourself, being a complete nobody, could come up with a novelty using your creativity and spring it on your opponent and neither of you know during the game, or even after the game whether it was any good. GMs would come up with novelties and other GMs would play them for game after game for months or years, never knowing for sure the evaluation.Imagine how fun and interesting chess was. That is why people wrote about chess in such flowery and poetic terms. But now technology ruins it, just as it ruins everything.But let's keep making bigger and stronger machines, let's keep importing more and more people into all countries, let's strip away everything good on Earth because we want to raise the GDP. All countries are economic units and we are the fuel for the meat grinder.
didn't we already know that? I let the engine analize the Traxler to depth 60 or so, and it just can't win with white, I assume if that's a draw then anything slightly sound is also a draw
the samefagging is getting even sadder…
>the moment you realize your opponent is an engine
Chess giving up being a classy gentleman's game is the worst thing that's happened to the sport.

Shogi prodigy Sota Fujii, holder of six titles, won the third game of the Meijin title match, putting him one win away from defending his title. The Meijin title match, a best-of-seven series, pits Sota Fujii, aiming for his fourth consecutive title, against challenger Tetsuro Itodani, 9th Dan. The third game was held in Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and Fujii won in 130 moves. The first player to win four games in the Meijin title wins the championship. With this win, Fujii has now won three straight games and is one win away from defending his title. After the game, Fujii spoke about his aspirations for the future. (Sota Fujii) "I want to think carefully about each move and do my best to play good shogi." The fourth game will be held in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, starting May 16th.

>>566350723Flagging is the highest form of chess dominance
thought experiment for youyou go to a classical chess tournament. its hosted a hotel. you start your first round and play the first move. your opponent is sitting there thinking for some reason. you walk off to the hotel bar, planning to return after having a drink. you order a mojito. while you sit at the bar enjoying your drink, you are surprised to find mommy jovanka sitting next to you. shes commentating at the tournament and currently on break. you get to talking and start flirting, one drink leads to two then three. before you know it shes inviting you back to her hotel room. she pulls out her cannons and lets you suck on those badboys. you make passionate love for hours on end, then fall asleep together in each others arms. when you wake up hours later, the tournament round is over and you have been given a loss due to time outnow did your opponent outplay you?
>>566350723What is playing better if not winning? I could spend an hour on each move and flag every game, would I be playing "better" then?
>>566352054I bet your bald.
>>566351587"Outplay" has a bit of a connotation that implies getting a better position, so maybe not, did he play "better" than you? Sure. The win might be less meaningful due to the extenuating circumstances you're in which made you play much worse than usual though. But this was not the case in my games.
>>566352379I bet you have full hair.
>>566351587D.) Not enough information to sayhowever it is clear that you won spiritually
>>566352379you may have lost but your opponent did not beat you
>>566352885Ok then, now let's remove these extenuating circumstances and say I just play but spend far too much time on each move and time out. Did I not get beat?
>>566353480that depends, are you spending too much time on each move because your opponent is playing challenging moves and forcing you to? if your opponent plays badly on the board but wins on time then they didnt really beat you, you beat yourself

>>566382661I feel for burgerbros, all my tourneys have been within walking/biking distance. At least this one is in the prime adult improover rating range. 5 games a day would probably be too much for the older participants. Plus if the last games drag on in every round, the delays could really add up by the end of the day.
>>566385737no, that hairline is never coming back.
>>566385737define "do it", a title is almost impossible but you can become a decent player if you have aptitude for it, I started in my late 20s and got top 1% in chesscom in less than 2 years
>>566385751Even if some games drag on it should be around 2 hours per round.10 hours for 5 games. It’s doable in one day.
>>566386009Is 2k elo achievable. I'm not aiming exactly at that but I want to know the limits.
Godbi winning 5 in a row
>>566386193online definitely yes, FIDE probably still yes but it would take a ton of effort
THE MOKESTER
Sindarov 2-1 against Gukesh in this tournament
>>566125123... and another one!
>>566386180You need time for registration, you need a lunch break and there'd be breaks between the rounds too. It's too much, might as well make it a weekend of chess.
>>566385751I live in blue collar middle of nowhere. Big cities in USA have plenty of accessible tournaments. I just don't live near local tournaments

Someone bake a new thread with a moke edition
>>566397823>a millennial show quote stolen from a millennial artist stolen from a boomer song .. and finally it falls to the zoomer after it’s all worn out.
>>566386193>Is 2k elo achievableDepends on the platform. Lichess? 100%. Chessdotcom? Yes, but it's going to take quite a bit more work. OTB? You might never reach it. Even the most dedicated adult improvers usually hit a wall around 2000 FIDE.
>>566370445Clickbait in science journalism is such fucking cancer
>>566399376Taking inspiration from isn’t stealing. Imagine in chess if every time someone expanded on theory, they were accused of stealing someone else’s work.
>>566400515 (Me)Don't let that discourage you btw. 2000 OTB is a great long term goal. My coach is a WFM who used to be 2100 before dropping back down to 2000, and the chess she plays is just insane. I'm 1400 FIDE, and when we play it genuinely feels like we're playing two completely different games. It's ridiculous how strong she is.
