Are zoomers speed running the aging process? Saw this pic in the last thread lol what the fuck how is that hairline even possible.
>>567411665goblin genetics
https://lichess.org/training/P5qje>puzzle is like 600 points overrated cause people relax too soonNGL I was a split second away from doing it too, made me kek>>567411665In my millennial highschool class there were 2 guys balding by 16-17 it's just unfortunate genetics, all the stress he was put through may have contributed tooStop turning everything into generational shitflinging
>>567411665Zoomers on average are actually aging slower than older generations. Hans just has terrible hair genetics and probably very high T
>>567420221I'll have what he's smoking. Zoomers are notoriously aging out faster because of all the cosmetic shit they try DURING their actual youth. It is beyond retarded.
>>567420690You're just wrong. Zoomers not smoking alone is keeping them younger looking than older generations.
>>567409007New here. What’s going on in this picture? It seems like an ankle injury? I imagine a wheel chair would have sufficed.
>>567421594he's french. they have to make everything more dramatic than it is.
>>567421442That's not what my eyes see. Also, no idea what vaping is going to do in the long run. All this trend chasing can't be good either. Roids especially.
>>567422032I'm talking about averages. A very small percentage of young people are on roids.
>>567411665Has he ever been directly confronted or responded to comments about his hair loss? I imagine he’s gotta be a fairly wealthy guy to facilitate his chess career. Why not get treatment early? 100% Magnus prevented it early, so there’s no shame. >imagine if pic was the face of chess
>>567422679I'll take your word for it. I am not digging into this shit. Trend is going up though. Be careful zoomerinos.
>>567422714This might shock you but most men aren't such effeminate narcissistic fags that they would pump themselves full of drugs with a billion side effects for purely aesthetic reasons >100% Magnus prevented it early0% chance he did that, dude is the typical austis that gives no fucks about his looks and so are most chess players
>>567422714The hair loss treatments we have today have a small but significant chance to permanently kill your dick. I'd rather be bald than an eunuch.
>>567418676>all the stress he was put through may have contributed tooNo fucking shit. My rapidly progressing hair loss suddenly mysteriously stopped after I got my degree, funny how that works huh.
>>567424830It's not officially proven to happen at all, there are even schizos who say minoxidil permanently killed their dick so it's easily proven that people can convince themselves of all kinds of bullshit.If it is true, my hypothesis is that it works something like this:>anon takes finasteride >(for those who don't know, finasteride blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT)>either gets legitimate sides or nocebo >gets scared and immediately stops taking it>test production is downregulated because of excess free testosterone that wasn't being converted to DHT>quitting cold turkey instead of tapering off lead to the same effect as what people get when they aren't careful with tapering off TRTSo basically it's possible "PFS" is just an ordinary hormone crash.
>>567427116Not taking the risk either way. "My dick doesn't work anymore" isn't the kind of story people would have a reason to invent. Even if it's a 1% chance that's already too high for something that's literally permanent.
When did this place turn into a bunch of insecure faggots discussing their hair loss research?
>>567429295it always has been
chess?
>>567409007Show this picture to anyone saying chess is a gentleman's sport lmao
>>567440113Chess stopped being a gentleman's sport when a jeet became world champion>,correlation not causationCope its true
>>567409007>zesty ass princess barbie bitch boy editionkek
I put a white-mates-in-2 puzzle in Stockfish, and it couldn't find the solution. But the puzzle is incredibly easy if you know beforehand there's only one move that guarantees checkmate on the move next.
>>567429295I can talk about how Nemsko turns my small penis into the big penis if you want
>draw>draw>draw>draw>drawgreat day for the slurpgod
>>567420221I disagree. /chess/ zoomers are going bald at an astounding rate. It’s a result of chess anxiety.
>>567452895Is it Kd1?
>guy thinks for ten seconds and plays this>I take the free piece>plays on for another five minutes>gets to a piece down endgame and resignsI play it on in an endgame but if you hang a piece in the opening just go next you fuckers
>>567453326You won't.
>>567457759No reason to resign in a no-increment time control.
>>567458329I always resign because playing down a piece is no fun and I play for fun
>>567463872Meh i make unsound sacs all the time so kinda used to it by this point, lol
>>567463872Untrue its very fun to win from being totally lost, which happens often against gigashitters such as 99.999% of chess players
>>567465787>>567469676epic necrobumps lol. /chess/ is back lol.
>Stuck at 600 elo for a couple weeks>learn kings indian as black>instantly jump to 800Pretty based.
>>567475031Le epiq.
>>567475031Just wait until you get to an elo where people don't hang their shit for free on the long diagonal and you have to actually deal with the positional complexities of the opening. Playing hypermodern stuff as a beginner is a meme.
>>567476004fo realzy yos.
>>567443664So back in 2000? Some of the kiddos here weren’t even born yet.
>>567477527the two people who regularly use this general are both soilennials
>>567476004And what elo is that? My opponent in this game was almost 1800 on the 'com >>567457759My opinion is that it's never too early to pick an opening and get reps in with it, hanging pieces or no it's the best way to start to develop an understanding of kingside/queenside dynamics (i.e. when to push your pawns.)
>>567479921wow zoomer. that is an inspirational post anout being a retard. it will save chess!
What do I do when I can tell my opponent is trying to set up this position, with queen and knight threatening checkmate on my king in the corner? I know once it gets to this point the only thing I can do is play g3 but when I can see he's trying to set it up is there any other good counter? Every fucking jeet at my elo just hammers this one trick every game. If it fails the first time, they just bring in the other knight....
>>567478061What’s that?
>>567471931;)
good morning sirs
>>567497476this is a sick 2 IP /chess/ necrobumps right here.
I made it back to 2000 scamrapid
>>567497654this nigger is literally always here to see the thread get archivedwhat's his goal
>>567498334Sad
Am I forgotten?
>>567504902Who?
>>567482540Bishops.and knights on g3 and f1 are great defenders. A single knight on f1 can be enough to stop most attacks with a queen. Also in this specific position, you could go f3 rather than g3. Having queens/rooks defend along the second rank is fragile but can frustrate the attacker because they don't always think about it.
Shogi news: Takumi Ito defeated Yusei Koga to win the white block of the Oi challenger league. He will face Yoshiharu Habu on 5/28 to determine the challenger to Sota Fujii in the Oi title match.
Alireza vs Fabi isn’t broadcasted? Is it happening in Alireza’s room?
>>567482540as mentioned, f3 is better here (due to the second severe threat of Rd8-d1+)To prevent it in the first place, it is sometimes handy to "make luft" with h3 or g3, which also prevents some of the frontal attacks like this.
>fabi used his rest day to pound alireza
>>567456690yeah
>>567516426You play g3 too early against an Indian he will rub his hands together and start masturbating under the table looking at Nh3+. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, that's what the game is going to be about from that point on, so if your goal is to avoid that kind of game don't do that. h3 is good at low elo because it baits them into making a terrible sac half of the time, just keep a knight on f3 and nothing bad can happen.
>>567532080stop being 800
>>567532520800 is less than half my rating thoughever
Play the Dutch

>>567539289Crazy that hes a faggot retard
>>567540526>>567532520
Still got some pinsaysh
>>567549195What happened to fraudie?
>>567553216sperged out after losing and sprained his ankle.
What's Ding up to these days? Still depressed and semi retired?
>>567555814He played in a team tournament in China in April
Benchod thought for over a minute how to best deal with my impending fork. Take a guess what move he decided.
Feeling crazy, throwing an e4
>>567564712Its all just scandicucks :|
>>5675640151... Qe6!!
>>567573243He decided best choice was to retake my knight with Qa7.
This is a win?
>>567577367Technically, yes. There are possible checkmate positions with this material.
>>567573878kek I thought of that but not via that justification, just saw it as a blunder
That cuck Stjepan finally played classical games again
>>567583270How'd his rating end up
>>567577882Yeah but they’d have to be help mates, not something white could force. I thought one minor piece left was instant draw. Would I still have won if it was a knight instead of a bishop?
2 months since com banned a cheater opponent, although 13 this year. Are the jeets finally done or what?
>>567588913FIDE (and lichess) count insufficient material if there is no legal sequence of moves to checkmate, which includes help mates.USCF (and chesscom) count insufficient material if it's impossible to *force* a mate, which excludes help mates.

>>567595143kill yourself
>>567569760Have you tried this gambit against scandishitters?I've seen Esserman play it a few times on streams with success.
>>567595784Nah it’s you who should do that, rather than me
>>567595870Looks retarded, what’s the idea
>>567598596Not telling, since you're going to be rude about it
>>567599012Gambit shitters are not worthy of respect
>>567599068Enjoy your sterile main line scandi then :)
Kek wrong thread
Maybe if Marc Lesserman wasn’t a gambit shitter he would have been a real chess player instead of jestergooning for litards like you
>>567600212>sacrifice material for the attack?>no thanks, I'll keep the pawn
>>567600212rating?
>>567601386See >>567601386
>>567549195hotel suite experience wasn't as glamourous as he thought so he still dropped out of the tourney? this fruit needs to go back to fashion school
>>567612812>dropped out of the tourneythis lazy faggot needs to be blacklisted already, give the invitations to people who care about chess instead what a massive waste of talent
Alua mentioned on the lichess homepage
>>567612812>>567614824lol so he finally did, I hate him so much. fucks the whole tournamentYeah, he needs to stop getting invited to the top tournaments. He’s not even that highly ranked anymore. His 15 minutes have passed
I Wonder if Alireza thinks he's some kind of super genius because he was one of the one in a million who went pro in chess, so he thinks he can also be one of the one in a million who does fashion professionally. ironically being somewhat famous would probably increase his chances a lot, but he's famous in probably the worst area you could be as a fashionista since chess fans are all turbo autists
>>567618123it's funny cuz magnus did some modeling and gukesh had that luxury watch commercial. chess does give you some aura of elegance but the mainstream public only cares about world champions. he would start getting brand deals if he could only perform.
so Wincent is running away with it?
>>567620698unless he chokes against Fabi
>Literally the first 3+2 game on my new second com account (for testing openings) was against a cheat>I won anyway because I'm the GOATBut seriously, that's how bad it is online these days. Thank God I was playing on com. LITERALLY MY FIRST GAME lol
Reminder >>>/tg/98047458
>>567615523but his foot was sore :(((((((
Obliterated this tardo 1800 so hard he blocked me and probably reported me for cheating lmao 1800s are such weakies No offense
>>567627813why would he give up a rook for no reason if he's 1800. looks more like a couple of 1500s
>>567628264You mean after Bd3? (That's when the bishop was eying it on the light squared diagonal) He thought that the pawn on c6 was hanging, which is why he took it with his horsey. Unfortunately, there's Bd3! and then after the rook moves, Bb5 with a fork on his knight and queen. He actually correctly chose to give up the rook there, it's the best move, but he's busted regardless. He could have just resigned as soon as Bd3 but weakies have no internal eval and don't know what's happening
>>567627813>transposes into a Karla KannIt was over for him before it even began...
>>567628719don't talk to me like that.
>>567594205ty
Why is a fucking GM coming to my no name local tournament
>>567630572You ready to get rolled by the US senior champion?
Someone mentioned on here the other day preferring the board piece sounds on com and I hadn't ever really thought about it before but . Going back to it after playing on licheats is like chicken soup for the soul. The licheats sounds are clickety clackety poverty noises. To say nothing of the hellish DING!!!! to start each game that we all know about. The sounds on com are so chocco chonky and even the pieces s feel better when moving themThe Romanian dingleberry is toast against Pragg btw eval doesn't know what iitsalking about
>>567630914i dont care about the piece noises but that ding is the worst
>opponent plays any sort of kingside fianchetto opening >I make a queen and bishop battery and trade it>long castle>pawnstorm>???>winit's crazy how effective this is, I can do it pretty much mindlessly and win 80% of the timeeven when a 1900fide at my club tried a pirc with me I brutalized him just doing that
*Ehh Pragg played e5 which I don't like, I was thinking f4 gf gf. Now it's not as scary
>>567631295Generally speaking amateurs shouldn't play hyper modernly and when they do it's fairly straightforward to just accept the space advantage and run them off the board. I'm happy every time I see a KID by some sub-2000 who thinks he's Bobby Fischer because I have an absurd win rate against it
>>567631092Rude
I highly recommend this extension called Chess Risk Score. Picrel is me and just an example, I have an extreme risk profile atm because I'm coming in hot on a new account. It's not a false positive per se, because all it does is calculate how "risky" the profile is to play. So, if it's a new account like me that's collecting scalps, but also if it's an older account that hasn't necessarily been banned yet but has uncommonly high accuracy or a few too many wins over losses. I abort against anyone over 20% risky and play with a little more peace of mind. The guy I mentioned who got banned in my first game I started playing before the extension calclulated his risk profile because I forgot I had it, once it loaded it said he was 90% extreme risk. He was banned like an hour later. So it's not just baseless paranoia
>>567633464I feel like being at 0 would be insulting kek
>>567633464nice try poosir not stealing my bank details
>>567633464>1900ACK
get well soon sickbi
>>567634203It's a fuck around account for testing openings idiot. Let's see Paul Anon's rating
>>567633464>>567634473Are you the same anon that was talking about being stuck at 1600 lichess while being 2100 scam? I’ve been lowkey playing on chess.com recently because of that post
>>567633464what's the point when you can only abort 2 games in a row?you abort a couple 20% then you are stuck playing an indian with 80%my policy is just no jeets,pakis and new accounts and I still have to break it all the time because you can abort so little on .scam
>>567635159>stuck at 1600 lichess while being 2100 scamaint no way
>>567635159Not quite stuck at 1600, I was just at that rating for an uncomfortable amount of time. The point I got stuck was between 1700-1800. But yes
>>567630572Hikaru strat of staying active without losing rating points by farming Mickey Mouse tournaments
>>567635254One would think!>>567635227Yeah they need to loosen up the amount you can abort but I haven't had problems with it, especially after I lightened up on my no India rule. I also get to feel a little more enlightened and not racist. All I go by now is the risk score.Most accounts that aren't new are between 0-20%, you should have enough aborts
>>567635274So far I’m 1300 chess.com and 1600 lichess so I’m not sure if I can tell the difference but your post scared me and I haven’t played there ever since lol
>>567636030If I had played enough on both the ratings would probably normalize, the issue is that there is such a density of cheats there that I would have to really grind to get to where I should have gotten in a few games. In my first few games I got, back to back, two 3+2 opponents who played 98% accuracy. That’s exactly true btw, that exact accuracy both times. My own accuracy was also normal and good in those games, both times over 90%. But they were literally just injecting Stockfish straight in their veins and I could find no daylight. Both accounts had the typical wild ratings of licheats, 1200 bullet, 1500 puzzles, 1800 blitz with increment, 2200 rapid etc. Multiple sequential encounters like that early on in an account will tank the rating and you can destroy a few noobs and start to climb but more licheats are in the ranks waiting to shank you again. And suddenly to the rest of the world I look like a genuine 1700 liblitz and they would be mightily surprised to see my com account. My new account on com is a perfect contrast. Yes, these cheats really do exist in enough numbers that my very first game of the day was against one. But on com, he was banned an hour later. You know? My experience on licheats was the same, cheats straight away, but nothing was and ever will be done about them. It’s not completely hopeless on licheats, with enough time you can get to where you deserve to go. Obviously, strong players play there and survive. But it’s a total crapshoot, and it will just take a larger sample size of games.
https://lichess.org/qTwBXi9e5+0i forgot to post an hour ago kek
>>567636030ain't nobody cheating against your weak ass lil bro just play on the free site
I believe that instead of calling newer players “weak”, they should be called “beginners”.We’re too rude to noobs
>>567638149i call them shitters
>>567637927Good game by white. Is that SC or Catmixer
>>567637927gg I wouldn't mind playing another
>>567638683Not catmixer as that is you. Not SC either, and you already know who I am>>567638756sure it was funhttps://lichess.org/B5gNyL04i set myself to play black this time
>>567638894But I'm not Catmixer and I don't know who you are. You sound very cool though, I'd love to tell people yeah. You know who I am

>>567638894gg are you Karla?
>was to propose trying to revive the team>tournaments aren't even getting made anymore>last one was christmasgrim, I would play this weekend if someone makes itI would even make them myself is someone made me teamleader
>>567640085No.
>>567640085No, Karla was better than me I think. I don't know that I've ever played her though.
>>567640590The team shit is done with lil bro this genny is deadJust play anon games if you want a /chess/ duel
>>567640590If you made a new team I would play but picrel.
>>567641048https://lichess.org/tournament/rkSgb1Z1apparently you can make tournaments without a team, time should be the same as always, code is "ondemand"
>Yeah… I’m thinkin you know who I am.
>>567641730btw if anyone wants a different start time or timecontrol or whatever else let me knowchances are it's gonna flop anyway so I might as well tailor it for (You)
>>567641730That’s a good idea. Fuck a team
After a catastrophic tournament I swore off blitz but good luck to you lads in the weekend arena.
>>567641730btw do you want me to advertise this on /tg/chess/? I don't know if you want to make it a thing with obligations and whatnot
>>567642880You mean an OTB classical tournament? What does that have to do with blitz?
>>567640590At this point the general is just one person bumping replies to themselves. I also noticed how during weekends there isn’t even an attempt to get tournaments going again. It has gotten significantly more depressing here recently.
Spedrun to this position against an englund gambit shitter in 4 seconds kekAmazing that someone could get to 1750 with one tactic.If you are under 1000 literally just form queen bishop battery every game and you'll probably gain 400 points
>>567642880it's a good call nothing beats OTB, hope it pays off for you next tournament>>567645126>advertise this on /tg/chess/sure why not, I doubt there are many people there but it can't hurt>make it a thing with obligations and whatnotif anyone shows up I will gladly make more if that's what you mean>>567648465yeah it's been really bad for a while but it seems to me it's slowly improving in terms of post quality compared to a month ago when it was nothing but shitpostingif we get some tournaments and challenges going again it might help
>>567595143I ran into the same bot 3 days in a row, in anonymous 1+0 boolet. Same openings, identical responses every time, exactly the same "thinking" breaks and instantaneous rematch request. I really wonder how many bots these chess sites have, it's clear both lichess and dotcom has them
>>567646230I played 100s of blitz games before a classical tourney and it really fucked with my play. Don't do this.
>>567630572Don't be mad, Xavier! Just try your best
Why is chess on /vg/? Wasnt it on /tg/ before?
>>567658503Weren't you accused of having a hand in that?
>>567641730Can I join?

>>567653601I’m Tunar
Hi anons I know none of you will believe me here but my 8 year old son has been classed as a prodigy by 2 different teachers. I am asking if there is any future or real reason for him to take this mega serioiusly.I know kids do hobbies like karate or football and I'm completely supportive of my son doing chess as his hobby but I don't know just HOW seriously I should let him indulge in this. I don't want him to get lost in the sauce thinking he's the next Magnus. I want him to still focus on main studies and paths that will lead toward a real career.How do chess prodigies normally work out? Do they flicker and burn out normally? Sorry I've never been on this board before I'm normally an /o/out/ anon but I was told to ask here about chess.
>>567674123I have already heard the schpiel from the coaches on why I should pay lodsa dosh to get him the best coaching to bloom this budding possibilities but I also know they are trying to sell a service and I don't want to get caught up in some "my kid is a genius" hype that so many shysters sell.So I wanted feedback from the dregs of society to balance my outlook. Thanks anon.s
>>567674123If hes not 2000 at 8 hes not a prodigy, they mean hes better than the simian niglet apes in his class hanging off the curtains and throwing feces
>>567675379We haven't had him play in any tournaments yet, only home training. Both coaches we've used are rated 2200-2300 and they say he's playing 2000 level.
This is the most brutal mogging of all time between masters and I'm not sure I can be convinced otherwise. The only master level game in history where a guy gets checkmated by his opponent's king with his queen still on the board.
>>567679516That's hilarious.
hunker down boys. It's going to be a long night of bihourly alarms, or 1:45 to be safe
>>567690870Kill all gatcha
>>567674123dont waste his life on this shitty jeetfilled game
>mathematically there are more possible chess games than we can play, it's effectively infinite>get endlessly scholar's mated by jeets and indonesians
>>567679516My that is a brvtal mogging
>>567677079>>567688917These are the necrobumps that break my heart. The amount of time in between, the lack of effort.
>>567700332Mine wasn't an intentional nercobump. I just thought it was funny
>>567638149>>567638507Shitter is what you become after you improve beyond beginner territory. beginner (unrated) -> shitter (1400-1600) -> patzer (1600-1800) -> club player (1800-2000) -> expert (2000-2300) (-> CM if you're a tard (2200-2300)) -> master (2300+)Ratings are fide of course.
>>567679516Okay actually it turns out there IS another game where that happened. However, in that game the white king itself was getting hunted, rather than doing it just because he was free to.https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1929825
>>567701205I don't see how "club level player" is an accepted term. 90% of people at my local club suck ass. 1000-1200 online ratings.
>>567702334Kek that's crazy
>>567674123Even if he managed to become a GM, it would still be a waste of time with not nearly enough ROI unless he was one of the top 10-20 in the world (a “superGM”). And even then, only the very top players like Magnus Carlsen are making bank, the other top players are lucky to break 100k in a year from professional chess. Regular GMs, meanwhile, have to go into coaching or try to be content creators in order to make a buck. Nobody knows who they are, and nobody cares, even though they’re masters of their craft, because they aren’t invited to the top tournaments. They’re just regular people who happened to spend their entire life mastering a board game for no reason.Personally I think kids should be free to chase their dreams as long as they’re kids and only have to sober up to reality when they’re an adult. You never know, maybe he could be really good, and as a kid it’s not like he has responsibilities that prevent him from playing around in life and seeing what he’s good at. That’s what childhood is basically for, a risk free time to test yourself in various hobbies before ultimately identifying your path and paying the bills. I would say if he’s not an IM by around 15 but is playing the game pretty obsessively still, I would have a gentle conversation with him about starting to think about his life as an adult and putting his time to better use. Otherwise, let him play games
Btw, I’m quite sure Naroditsky did cheat and the above ^ is the reason. The psychological toll of being a failGM and coming just shy of superGM and having to go into coaching and content creation like GothamChess started to weigh on him and he was in a dark place. He started doing drugs and cheating at online chess. When he was accused by Kramnik he spiralled, not because the accusation was false and unfounded but because it was true and he felt guilty. His drug use intensified and eventually the guilt and drugs both overcame him and he killed himself. Redditors who would insist he would NEVER because he’s heckin wholesome chungus were also surprised to learn about the drugs. They’re just naive and don’t understand that people have depths they don’t show in public and everyone is fighting their own demons.
>>567705517>redditors when they find out the skeletal tweaker who constantly twitches and frequently stays up all night spamming bullet games for hours on end nonstop does meth
>>567705745lol. He was like their chess Mr. Rogers

>>567706071I had never even heard of this guy until after he died except for one Botez video. Why did they like him so much? Was he their >literally me?
>>567710221Redditors think that being clawless is being virtuous and adopt people who seem like harmless wholesome chunguses as heroes like pets. Naroditsky had an asexual friendly neighborhood Decent Human being vibe and was a patient chess educator so he became their main chess hero.
Can we rename /chess/ to /looksmaxxing/? Everyone here is an incel
Do you think we could start a general on /v/? Technically chess has become a type of videogame, at least online, imagine the seethe from low IQ pokeman gamers who cant into chess, NOOOOOO CHESS ISNT MUH VIDYA EVEN THOUGH ITS LITERALLY VIDYA FOR HIGH IQ GENIUSES
>>567711132What is the difference between /v/ and /vg/?
>>567702387That's a recent American phenomenon. The term club player has been used for ages to mean a player who's mid but not "6yo kid who just started playing a couple months ago" tier.
>>567711132>Do you think we could start a general on /v/?no you retard, jannies will nuke it if you try
>>567711052I'd be surprised if there is a single general on this entire board with a lower % of incels than /chess/, we have several family men here and generally chess attracts the overconfident socially oblivious type of autists not the shy socially anxious type like most videogameseven larpov, the retard always posting about balding manlets etc who gave you this impression, supposedly had gfs
Just played a high rated Indian in rapid who didn’t cheat and resigned once the game was lost! Thanks to my trust Chess Risk Score extension, I don’t have to be racist anymore! #faithinhumanityrestored

>>567723828>/chess/ incel,despite being a nerdy weirdo I've had several gfs because some women mistake my always wanting to be right and get my way in friend groups as alpha behaviour, this is the personality type chess attracts, there are exceptions of course but in general the confrontational and unforgiving nature of chess doesn't suit the anxious self-conscious guys that end up being incels they'd much rather be gaymers like you

Catmixer IS a gay faggot, and he IS the king of this retarded hellhole because he fucks you all in the ass every time he plays in your shitty tournaments even when you autistically and retardedly ban everyone else who isn't as dedicated as he is to sneaking in.

>>567744992Try the Leningrad if you're gonna play it.
>>567745337Leningrad is pretty hard to defend if white plays aggressively. I prefer the classical to be a bit saferI like to use it against the London since it's the most aggressive Dutch and usually they just let you do whatever you want while they play their system moves. I go for a e-file push that attacks, and sometimes forks, their minor pieces to gain space and disrupt their king-side pawns

>>567724174Not an argument jannie
I'm new to chess and play on lichess. Why do people keep resigning midway through the match when (from my noob POV) they still have a solid chance at winning?
>>567804498They see professional players doing it so they imitate the behavior. It's silly because at a beginner (and even intermediate amateur) level, mistakes that turn the game around are very likely to happen, but people still do it for some reason.
>>567804498Post an example of a position they resigned in and we’ll tell you.

>>567805730I hate patzer imbeciles like that so fucking much it's unreal. They're the same people who will tell you not to play fun openings like the King's Gambit because it's refuted at the highest level.
Zestyreza fucking up Wesley’s drawing streak
>>567850442I feel you man>at the highest levelAt this point i feel physical cringe whenever i see this expression being used by someone who isn't a GM.
Will firouzja withdraw from Norway chess too?
>>567850442A lot of people don’t understand the value you get from learning to defend bad positions. Also, sometimes people resign abruptly like that if they think they’re playing a cheater/sandbagger.
>>567850442>>567862252The last 5 rapid games I played on lichess, my opponent played on to checkmate.
Look at this Perk cuck I just slaughtered. He was 1800 chesscum rapid, I only used 62/600 seconds lol
>>567863890Impossible because chesscom subtracts time even when premoving.
It wasn't a draw...
>>567844456He didn't like that you were going to take hs queen then take his rook, winning the exchange. It's a little complex but you end up keeping it as far as I see.>>567845724Currently you have a queen for two pieces, a rook, and a pawn. He doesn't like that you're going to take his rook on the next turn. I believe Bg7 saves it though and only sacs the bishop, so at the end you'll have a queen vs rook ,knight, and bishop. But he probably didn't see that. Or maybe Qc1+ is even worse there for him, idk.
I won sixty imaginary points today (on lichess), now nothing can get me down today. It is a state of immense internal peace. This is the magic of chess.
>>567868074Yeah I was planning to trade my bishop and queen for his rook and queen. I feel like that's not the end of the world for him idk I wouldn't have quit in his positionMm good point. Second guy is in a more precarious position but he can definitely still weasle out of it because I need to get my other pieces out somehow before I can checkmate

>>567868074>Or maybe Qc1+ is even worse there for him, idk.Enjoying getting taken by the bishop.
>>567868074That first guy isn't gonna lose the exchange he's gonna lose the full rook.
>>567899341Read carefully once again. I am referring to the position after Bg7.>>567899395How so? The queen can be retaked with the Bc1 and the rook remains defended. As well, even if you take back with the knight, after Bxd5 there is Nc7 and you are getting the Bd5 in exchange.I don't know, maybe you are just bumping, it had been an hour and 30 minutes after all.

Why does Gotham so rarely do full master level game reviews (so rare that he explains that it’s rare that he does them whenever he does)? I fucking hate him but I admit that his full game reviews can go toe to toe with anyone’s in entertainment and quality. Yet he’d rather watch shitty players play and make “witty” remarks.
