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
Fabi beat Guccireza

>>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
