Don't know (im bad)
>>
>>575473325
this is such a slop puzzle. totally unrealistic position that's trivially winning for one side "but haha there's only one combination to mate in 2 moves"
anyways 1. Kd6
>if h5 Qd2#
>if Kh5 Be8#
>if g3 Be2#
>if Rh5 Qd8#
>if h2 then any bishop move is mate
And wow those are black's only legal moves because he blundered all his pieces and locked his rook in a closet
Normally I wouldn't spoil it for others but I hate this type of puzzle. There are plenty of puzzles out there which are equally interesting but also have a shred of relevance to game situations
>>
>>575485948
very nice. I struggled with this one, but the genius of kd6 is that, I was looking at both bishop moves to stop each possible response, either pinning the g6 pawn allownig kd6 with mate or covering g4 allowing kd6 with mate, but both of them were defeated by the other weakness, so if i pinned the g6 pawn he would run to g4, if i covered g4 he would bring the king to h5 and bring the g6 pawn down to block the check, but kd6 avoids committing the bishop and waits for the enemy to show his cards, and you end up moving the bishop to precisely the correct space to deliver mate in both variations. It becomes so obvious once you're given the move but I did not have that "reverse the move order" instinct here
>>
>>575486521
oh yeah and h5 and rh5 you win in a different way.
>>
>>575486521
Intuitively, Kd6 is a very obvious move because it's the only square that doesn't inhibit your queen or bishop. Since there's no mate in two from immediately checking with Qd8 or Qd2 it's clear that the king has to move, wherever the bishop ends up going. So if there's only one move then it must be Kd6 and the rest is easy enough to calculate.

do it if you want to or if you find yourself needing to read notation often. it's not that important when it comes to chess skill. but it isn't too hard to learn so you should probably get the basics now so you kind of train it every time you come across notation.

This was me, I went to bed after. Fun games and you played well too.

The first game was most interesting IMO; crazy that pic related is already straight up winning for black. I actually thought I was worse or barely equal before you let me play Kf7 Ne7. But that pawn structure on the kingside is deceptively solid so white's king is much weaker long term. I went for it as it's similar to some favorable-for-white structures reached in certain Caro-Kann variations (Bayonet and Tal attacks), but those always have a closed center so it felt kinda sketchy.

18...Nh4 and 23...fxe2 were horrible by black. Overall good play by white but unlucky. Black is definitely overrated

Lmao no need to regurgitate the analysis anon we can all see it. I can already tell black is a cuck by the fact he played a Bg7 setup in the first place.

Is it just me or has chesscum managed to get even worse over the last year?
I recently tried to play there and finding a match took forever and the interface was laggy and sometimes buttons would bug out and simply not function.
It used to be the only downside of chesscum was paying for all the same features lichess offered for free, but now it seems to be an objectively worse platform.

It objectively is and always was. Even if you're a diamond member and get all the pay-walled stuff that way, you still have to deal with the noxious player base that the site has.
Lichess is infinitely better.

How to get coaching from Kike the kind coach?
>>
Ding collapsed and semi retired but at least he was 30+
Gookesh collapsed and is on the verge of dropping below 2700 and he's just a kid
the crown might go to another kid who will repeat the process
how does anyone think chess is not a joke at this point
