As white, you basically have only 1 correct move for like 12 straight moves, and if you don't memorize the line, black just wins for free. It's so scummy, and only browns play like this, and a big reason of why getting good at this game is cringe.

Total Chess 100% replaces the FIDE World Championship as the most presitigious and “lineal” world championship btw

OUR GOAT JUST MOVED FROM LAST TO 4TH PLACE

That game is unironically a great example of why Magnus is the GOAT. No other GM in history routinely accepts worse positions out of the opening just to get a game and then totally outplays and crushes world class opponents. He’s so, so good. I’m crying

The Indian Era. Just like Obama taking over a decrepit nation, so too will India dominate chess. Ruling the ruins, a once proud thing, reduced to rubble and controlled by the horde.

Yes you literally did, you asked for proof, made clear you did not believe in just trusting me, constructed a dichotomy between trusting me and me lying, and then told me that I am a liar because I had not produced it. I ignore the "definitely" addition to the subject matter.

I never said you are obligated to treat what I said as credible. Multiple times I believe I have made it clear I do not expect you to believe me and that I only care about the relevant parties.
>>
>>568668131
Fair enough, “lying” was too strong. My actual point was that if someone makes a factual claim but can’t substantiate it, skepticism is more justified than belief. That doesn’t necessarily mean intentional fabrication.

Qa8. Took me a while but the moment it hit my eyes I knew it. ai was trying to keep the queen on the 1st to preserve Kf2 in the case of gxh but eventually realized it is impossible to threaten mate right after Kxh2 in the process. So I went looking for Kxh2 stoppers to try to find how they fare against gxh. In this line, if Kxh2 its Qa8 and if gxh its g3. Fun puzzle. I will admit I gave up on the last (?) one with Kh6.

I don't believe stafford players are playing the same game that we are. I'm not sure they're fully human. Something happened about 2 years ago to make the stafford popular on lichess, something rotten, something insidious.

I used to seethe at the arrogance to bait me with such cheese, like I'm some cartoon mouse, but these days I simply exhale nasally and play 6. Qe2. They're drawn to it, like moth to flame, singularly motivated by my f pawn. Perplexed by an unnatural queen move, they take about 6 seconds, it's always 6 seconds in 3+2, and then they play 6... Ng4 like an insect flying into my windshield.

Maybe I'm training some sort of human-imitation chess neural net. I always wonder what compels them to play one of the more boring gambits after I blunt their advance with 7. Nd1 and crash through with my g pawn. Have they never done this before? Do they just like gambling?

Where did they come from? What happens to the chess players they replace? Is anyone else studying this?
>>
>>568728494
How did he do it
>>
>>568731134
The best part is that Nepo has always been one of the GMs most suspicious of him and threatened along with Magnus and others to pull out of the infamous St Louis tournament when Hans was announced as Rapport’s replacement because he was so confident he was a cheat. Which of course, he was, at least online, and everyone knew it, and seemingly most often against Nepo. So now Hans has been going around on this “revenge tour” trying to prove he’s not just that guy who cheated against the top players online to feel better about himself, and he has the gall to challenge Nepo?
Nepo is for sure relishing this

Thanks fren. We should play again sometime. I started like a couple months ago and I'm around 900 blitz on dotcom. I try to solve as many puzzles as possible, but I still blunder all the time and can't seem to spot basic tactics in shorter games. Hopefully that improves with time.

5/24/26. Huge amount of samefagging and he said absolutely nothing. Time zones might be different but I refer to >>568070843 and on. Even throughout the rest of the thread.

Two days off. My point is that his spam is not contingent on larpov's posts and I feel this shows I am right. Maybe you just said that in frustration. But, too I would like to say that I'm pretty sure that's not the only time larpov has taken a break, that is just the most recent one to show it has happened.
>>
>>568756802
I don’t think it’s “taking a break” I think he just blends in better and eventually his impulses grow strong enough to make his style of troll post.
The only way you could know he was actually “taking a break” is if you were him or could accurately identify IPs.
>>
>>568757926
I see the divide here. You are just annoyed at him being here and posting his crap. You do not wish to make the case that the samefagging is a reaction to larpov's posts.

>>568758138
I don’t think samefagging is that big of an issue.

There was a move 10... Nxe4 that I believe would have kept you the pawn. Also 13... c5 gave me a very juicy d5 square which caused much of the later problems. Ng4 then Bb7 would probably have been okay.

Have you guys noticed that on lichess it keeps changing the annotations after you run a game analysis?
Run an analysis on a game, it gives some moves as mistakes, blunders, etc. If you go to those moves and let the engine run, it changes them if the eval changes enough with more depth.

yes. I thought there might be some try at saving the knight with 22... Ne7 23. Nfd2 then 23 ... b3 trying to move the queen somewhere you can take d2 with tempo. But I don't think it's working because nxb3 and it'll just return to d2.

Hi Ben

How do I get to 2400?

Probably like, 50 or maybe even 100 lichess puzzles solved correctly in a row. Also maybe throw some mate in 2 and mate in 3 ones in there as well.

Memorize every line of the Ruy, Najdorf, and Grünfeld. After you're done, read all the strategic books Stjepan Tomic recommends and study positional play like your life depends on it. Last but not least, never do tactics. They hurt your chess.

It's a very strong rating comfortably top 0.1% in the world almost master level, your dad is extremely good at chess

he's actually gotten multiple accounts to that level. I think I need to get him to go to some irl tournaments
>>
>>568807816
>>568810869
>>568812069
If this is actually real, then yeah, randomly coming across someone who can beat your dad is about as likely as winning the lottery. 2300 is just stupidly good. I'm 1200 dotcom and easily annihilate everyone who doesn't consider chess a hobby. Put me in a room with other chess players though, and I'm probably the worst there. It's relative, but you get the point.
>>
>>568813479
It is real. He's been playing since I can remember. Whenever he has free time he plays chess online. He plays against his neighbor sometimes but that's the only time he does play irl I believe, that neighbor must get fucking annihilated lol. That's why I wanna get him to go to tournaments. I bet he could win at least some local ones.
I fucking suck at it though, I struggled against even the damn monkey on that old chess windows game.

Are you sure he hasn't played any tournaments before? Picrel is a chessdotcom rating distribution graph from 2023 to put things into perspective just how insane being a 2300 is. That would place him in the top 5k players on the site.
>I fucking suck at it though
You can improve pretty quickly if you put in even just an hour a day. Ask your dad to teach you the basics and show you how to solve chess puzzles for starters.
>>
>>568816338
2300 rapid on dotcom is genuinely impressive. I believe it’s just under 8000 ranking in the world on that site and a level most players will never come close to reaching.
I wish I was your dad.
>>
>>568816338
Maybe he played in some when he was very young, but definitely not for the past 30 years. Just showed him this graph by the way and he couldn't believe it. Told him to go play some tournaments and he said he'll think about it lol I'm definitely gonna make him go.
>>568817938
He said that "of course I'm good since I've been playing for so many years" since he's almost 60 now
