over? this is over. come back. over. over this is over read you loud and clear over.
can we just move to /vst/ at this point instead of seeing the thread die twice a day
>>578959678With a name like that, this guy must be really good! I learned so much from Roman in my early chess days, his vhs lessons were some of the first chess videos uploaded to YouTube. Finally, a chess player worth of having their own edition!
/chess/ lost. I won.
>>578967674Fuck off cheatmixer
Which will die first: this thread or the old man in the OP?
Literally better than that dyke bitch
I’d prefer a top ten player edition but this is good enough. Literally way better than that dyke bitch over and over
>>578959678Get yourself a coach whose name ends with -berg or -shvili and enjoy quick elo gains. It comes at the cost of being verbally and perhaps physically abused if you don't do your exercises but hey that's life.
Dzindzi indian is op, d4cucks know this
>>578975887>verballyoh boy we got one of them over here
>>578983740What’s it look like? Didn’t realize we had so many Dzindi fans in our club
>>578987295Something like this. A modern benoni where the dsb is traded for the knight to double the pawns and then f5
>>578988215That’s awesome I’m gonna start playing that
What we drinkin today
>>578988215Idk that seems vaguely goyish. Not really what I want from the Benoni.
>>578989693It’s not safe to drink and play
>>578987295OP here ngl I just googled "ugliest chess grandmaster" to trigger pbt and saw him mentioned in a .scam forum thread that popped up though that opening seems fun and he does look kinda based
>>578993376You should watch the Ben finegold video on him:https://youtu.be/PYs52XSgCGU?si=raD9wrCLYDWp_qZ9Apparently he had been a coach for Kasparov and also Karpov
>>578993376For the record, I’d say Prag is way uglier, and he doesn’t even have the excuse of being old
Just played a very dumb poojeet
>>578993376>pbtdo you mean to imply that the eline spammer is the pbt? how come?
>>578993376>>578999395Imo it's Rustam Kasimdzhankov. It's not like any one of his features is the ugliest you've ever seen but put together he just looks vaguely repulsive on a deep animalistic level. He's the kind of person who you'll act antagonistic towards without really thinking about it just based on his looks.
Been studying the chuds niggerbit sneedclined
>>579006337Lmao my nigga thinks he's Steinitz or some shit. Lil bro I promise there's nothing wrong with playing the Dutch at your level, there's no reason to inflict this upon yourself.
>>578995154that's cool I'll watch it now before sleep>>579002527I'm not 100% sure but the whole " there must always be a girl in the OP seeing men grosses me out" autism is exactly what pbt used to argue back in the day>>578804683, pic related, plus you know wanting to make every thread>>578999395true but that thread was from 2013 plus I remembered pbt complaining about ugly old men specifically>>579004650> It's not like any one of his features is the ugliest you've ever seen but put together he just looks vaguely repulsive on a deep animalistic levelnihal does that to me, the extreme asymmetry of his face disturbs me
>>579006810
>>579006996Your dyke bitch is out forever. Cry faggot
>>579006810>>579006996i just assumed it was the samefag but maybe. he does like eline and has been the one invested in this general lately.
>>579006996Simon is nasty for sure but that other jab is uncalled for.
First alapin game on my turboshitter eloI feel like this is a retard destroyer at my three digit elo
>>579007890you'll keep destroying sicilian players like this until 1500 when they start knowing what the fuck they are doing and learn a few moves into the anti-sicilians, have fun until then bro
>>579009385Do you have a serious chest?
>>579009625Yep quite simply I do mkay and I hate dyke bitches
>>579007890Yes, it is extremely OP below 1000. idk what makes it so powerful
>>579009625This made me check his channel and it seems nobody posted his latest video ITT or did it I miss it?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykd4O3IPGiY
^even though you literally spam replied to it when i did
>>579010350low-rated people learn openings by memorizing a few moves, they don't adapt their strategy to new weird moves that counter their strategy because they don't know what the strategy isthey just memorize moves not knowing why the moves are actually being playedthey don't know c5 tries to fight for the center, how and why it's being done, it's just a move they copypaste because the good guys do this. now, if they see alapin, they don't understand how it might counter the idea of the sicilian and how they need to adapt, because they have no actual idea or strategy, they just have these few moves they memorized and repeat over and over and over and overwhich is why the gifanon obliterated the dude. that's also one of the main things that build a difference between novices and intemediate players
>>579010604Holy shit SeriousCHVD is BACK??!!!! I thought he moved to Utah, converted to Mormonism and quit this devilish site.
>>579006810>making sure there's always a thread up is pbt behavioryou're mentally ill and super gross
>>579004650Say that to my face buddy
>>579012268>Hans in a few more years
>>579017835And thats a good thing
>>579022232Just because you lost your fuzz don’t mean you’re not a peach :)
what's the gayest opening?
>>579029842Taking your cock and putting it on the e4 square and saying e4
>>579030434Why doesn’t this happen more often
>>579033038FIDE banned it for being too gay.
>>579029842Scandinavian is pretty homosexual
There was a cool tactic I got to play in this position as black. 1...b1=Q
>>579035408FIDE bans everything that’s fun, Yoo aren’t even allowed to hit women anymore
>play the Alapeen>try to attack for some reason>loseKWAB
I'm rebuilding my Alua folder. But stronger, better, more focused and tactical this time. In preparation for the Olympiad.
>>579044463Leak them here slowly for amateur alua chads like me
>>579044463I have a fauxlder consisting of the all the loaded media on her instagram page taken a particular day. Pretty low quality but it works.
>>579047892That’s weird man. You’re a weird fucking dude man. Once you start to automate it takes the soul out of it. It should be hand-curated.
>>579048481I have my own files as well of course. It's just for good measure.
>>579049127https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrE_cDvcgJgGood to know

Good morning chessars
Alright for fucks sake… I’m done wondering… what phenotype is this? His brother is certainly a creature as well:
>>579063006Here’s Eric’s brother/creature for reference:
>>579049564>>579063006>>579063450great chess content!!
>>579063006>>579063450Canadian Chinese-Danish mix. Many such cases.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_CanadiansObviously there's no need to explain the Chinese settlement, same stock that came in during the Gold Rush and built the railroads in California.Though my favorite Canadian immigrant group is definitely the Ukrainian-Canadians that settled in the farmlands of Alberta, mainly. Any famous hockey player with the last name ending in -chuk or similar probably descends from them, e.g. Dale Hawerchuk, Alex Trebek, and of course Wayne Gretzky.>>579063450Canadian Chinese-Danish but gay>>579064759"Like the castle in its cornerIn a medieval gameI foresee terrible troubleAnd I stay here just the same"
My wife is pregnant so I'm going to have to retire from OTB chess soon
Dont need no stinkin queenAnd bannned. Kings Gambit, unrefuted.
>>579072472Congrats on the chex fellow chess dad.
BWEEEEEEEEH ABORTING IS FRUSTRATING TO OTHERS BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHI'm not playing a fucking third-worlder with a new account and a 99% winstreak, fucking chess.cum niggers.
>>579074006Try it on lichess
>>579073028Wow. Look at that pathetic rook trapped in its corner on a8. This reminds me of another master's game, around similar strength to Esserman, where their opponent's rook also gets stuck, but this time on a1. Seriously doesn't move for the entire game.
>>579076907sorry meant h1
>>579076359On lichess I won't be able to abort the third worlders and indians because they have no flags. The only way to tell them apart is if someone uses a nickname like RAJEESHPAJEETINDIANUMERO1That's the only reason I play on chesscum
>>579073223>>579072472Some of you guys have kids? What in the world
What happened to being free for all? Oh no no no… fellow human beans?Anyway, I just had a dream about this opening and am actually going to look into it. It’s “not played” and “dubious” but it looks like a clean and safe way to castle quickly and avoid tactics. In my dream Magnus recommended it to beginners lol
>>579078689Alright man you can do that. But there’s a reason that specific bishop-blocking-your-d4-pawn opening is widely regarded as one of the top 3 most retarded openings of all time. Behind Damiano’s Opening and the Dutch.
>>579079087Yeah now that I’ve woken up I can see that it’s shit and retarded
>>579078560Yeah trying to teach them how the pieces move. They do better on lichess than OTB cuz well they don't know how the pieces move
>>579079087The Degenerate Dutch is the most based D4 response sukka
>>579079509Based sleepposter
I would have known better even in my sleep
Good morning, sad to hear of the passing of King Harald
>>579078689lichess does that to get players for the playerbase thoughbeit, not to grift you like com
>>579080478Why do you think they want to grow their playerbase? To capture a larger share of the market… for science?>You need an account to do that :)>You need to “donate” to lichess to do that :)It’s coming
>>579080749because playing in a ghost town would suck? thibault is a true believer, whaever you may think of him
>>579078689>>579080749The had to do that because "someone" was using the opening database to DDoS them, I wonder who could have an interest in doing that...https://lichess.org/@/thibault/blog/the-opening-explorer-now-requires-authentication/FSWh9Zg3It's fitting that a dumb schizo is an apple cuck and wants to play that retarded "opening"
>>579082276This is a recent development and lichess isn’t a ghost town by any stretch. You were right, they’re pursuing market expansion. Why? That’s up to you decide. >>579082475Google “cover story”. There will always be one and useful idiots like you to parrot it. Did you know engine usage is currently capped on lichess? Well, what if lichess says you can have unlimited engine, if you donate! but “it’s completely optional” and only due to the “unsurvivable” stress of surviving as a charity site with an engine otherwise, with “how much the site has grown” (perhaps as a direct extension of pursuing market expansion??). Oh my goodness! MATCH ME! Not only will I buy into this optional, perk, I even feel bad now and will donate more besides. “Thank you so much reddit… you saved us. Now another thing. It sure costs a lot to keep these servers up these days. If you donate, you can… yadayada” You: “UNLIKE COM they need our help, it’s completely understandable. We must win the battle against the corporation! And my axe!” Next thing you know you’re “donating” $10 a month to use the full site.
I hope one day they discover the identity of this mysterious haxxor who targets *checks notes* free to use website, lichess dot org… how nefarious. There was nothing else to do be done, but make a move for a larger share of the market. Alas
>>579082936You write like such an unhinged retard, stop using /pol/ and spend that time doing puzzles so you don't have to worry about "avoiding tactics">Next thing you know you’re “donating” $10 a month to use the full site.Guess when this might happen so I can cap the post and mock you later
>I-It was chess.com who did it! Danny ordered the hit! And forced their lihand into making more people sign up for their lisite! Schizo!
>>579082475>Some unknown entity, doesn't matter who or why, is very much intent on taking the explorer down, using millions of residential IPs, and billions of randomized requests.what the hell
>>579083920None of that was an argument because I already tore yours to shreds. You will see the first signs of monetization within 3 years, it will be “optional” as I said and announced as a possibility with great regret and only as a survival mechanism, due to the growth of the site. >>579084034So mysterious and nefarious. Would that it weren’t so
*“Optional” as in initially frivolous btw, obviously everything is optional. It will almost certainly be related to game review and the amount you can do.
>>578959678>Why not use Cloudflare or another third-party proxy?>To effectively protect a service as expensive to run as the opening explorer is, we would need to set the detection threshold very low. Many players would find themselves loading third-party code, and solving captchas. We don't want that. Also we don't want commercial third-parties between chess players and us.based>What about the endgame database?>We may have to do the same thing for it at some point. We'll see. For now it continues serving anonymous requests.Even the CIA doesn’t care about studying endgames
>danny untermensch would never engage in subversive activities in order to draw people to his shitty pajeer site that looks like it was designed in 2008, no sir!
>>579084647That’s not the logical outcome. It’s ushering people into signing up for lichess. They’re already going to the site to see the limitation, all they have to do is register. It’s designed to capture the share of the market that uses lichess anonymously because it’s more convenient than com for quick use, which is a lot of people.

This is one of the most embarrassing performances by the samefagger yet. Truly obvious in every way. Just endlessly responding to himself with gay off-topic bullshit and killing the general in the process.

Why did that nigga naroditsky kill himself? I want more videos, all chess content creators are infantile autistic retards, he was the only decent pedagogue
>>579107002He didn't, he had an heart faliure while high on meth and kratomWatch andras toth
>>579107002Idk but when I was on vacation, I found a bar with board games and saw a four old guys playing chess. I watched and eventually joined them. One of them was pretty good, we went into faster games eventually.Comfy rock music, I'm playing against this old Spanish man, and he asks, who taught you to play?>Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky. He passed away a few months ago.I raise my glass and say LET'S DRINK TO GRANDMASTER DANIEL, the chess grandpas raise their beers and whatever they are drinking, SALUD, SALUD.

>>579102769Same
>>579108960He did. He knew what he was doing to himself. You can put yourself to “accidentally” do something on purpose by increasing the likelihood intentionally. He was drugging himself to the moon and staying up for days. He wanted to die.
>>579104920Chest,You need to play more instinctively and “think” less. You’re not a good thinker in chess. You start overthinking. Your thought process are always wrong. Like when it took you five minutes to realize you couldn’t trap your opponent’s Queen the other week. Don’t bother. And now this where you think you’re going to solve your opponent out of the opening. Stop overthinking. Trust in good fundamentals and superior instincts. You will gain 200 elo. The best players stop and think at the correct critical junctures. Otherwise they mostly trust themselves. You stop and think at the wrong times for the wrong reasons and then play what you were going to play anyway, or something worse. You need to develop a better sense of when to calculate and when to trust your instincts to your chess education.You’re welcome.

good morning chess! hope no one had a knightmare
I started playing chess in April and only now I've concluded I'm simply too retarded for this game.it is a very humbling experience to lose to "low level" third world players from countries whose average iq is between 70 - 90, who manage to play with +90 % accuracy most of the time. I don't even dare estimate my own iq based on this track record.I think I'll get back to carpentry or something.This thread was always shit, I hope the regulars find more meaningful places to hang around if they continue to discuss chess.Farewell.

The samefagging campaign has started early this thread.
>No! You can't say anything good about Kramnik Hitler Vader!! Eat my heckin downvote chud!
>>579194272Kramnik is an incredible player and taking this away from him is retarded revisionism.Kramnik also did not force Naroditsky to take a lethal amount of drugs like a junkie retard. It's retarded to treat Kramnik like a murderer. Stupid people look for someone to blame while the incident happened because Daniel overdosed like a dumbass. It's unfair to Kramnik.
>>579194031Sorry I can’t I have my full name and sin on my profile
>>579194981If you're without sin it's even better!
>>579195209Will stop sinning make me better at chess?

>>579196375Share some of your games so I can help
>>579194272As much as they hate kramnik that was downvoted because it was the typical unwarranted gukesh wank out of nowhere that's so rampant in that jeet infested place you'd think 2 years of almost non-stop humiliations of their idol would have humbled them, even the most pc redditors can't stand streetshitters anymore
>>579197913The second comment about Kramnik being 38+ after 2011 was also downvoted.
>>579191659>>579193905If you started from 0 as an adult, 1300.scam is not bad at all in 4 monthschess is not something you can get good at quickly, you are not retarded if anything you have above average aptitude for the game,I'm not even trying to be nice just saying it like it is>>579198198oh I didn't see that, I guess you are right then
>>5791983921300 is just a novice club player, a guy from the club who plays from time to time casuallythey are not "shitters", they're just players having fun, i have no idea why chess is the only sport that is so retarded that novice club players compare themselves to grandmasters, it's like a guy playing football for fun with friends said I AM SO SHIT and compared himself to ronaldo
Is it possible FIDE could go bankrupt? Their main cash cow is the world championship and even that’s slowly deteriorating.
The normie rating for somebody (male) who watches Hikaru on youtube is like 400 chesscom.So if you're 1300 you're God to them.
What time is the weekend tournament at
>>579199560What weekend tournament?
>1300>badYou guys know chess normies online treat 1000 like ultimate god level, right?
I am 1600 chess.scam and everyone irl thinks I'm a chess genius. They think I'm a hidden grandmaster. My friends want to sponsor me to go on tournaments as an investment. My family says I'm wasting myself because I should play in tournaments against the best in the world. They think I play grandmasters online. My father found a picture of Carlsen and asked me unironically>did you play him son? did you beat him?
>>579201876Isn’t there a weekly weekend tournament here or did you folks stop doing that
>>579205090Stopped doing it a long time ago. There are like 5 active users here now, 2 of which are the same person and trying to ruin the thread.
>>579205585How do we bring in more members?
>>579205789I don't know. One way would be to go back to /tg/ because there is harsher moderation and the board is slower. Most of the people left here because the users made it unusable, even posting pictures of children with suggestive comments.And now most of the posts are non-chess, just nonsense words by some autist obsessed with artificially keeping the thread from dying.
>>579206110What would it take to move us back to /tg/? Who even decided the move? What does the team leader say about potentially going back?
>>579206110>usersI think you'll find a particular one is at the helm of most of the activities you find displeasing. In fact he may well be in the room with us right now, (You)ing our posts.

I'd play a chess tournament but I'm a shitter newfag slowbrain who plays 15+10 rapids at 1000 chess.com, so it wouldn't be fun.
>>579211771I was in your shoes too when I first got here. From my experience everyone I met in the tournaments was really nice and supportive. Except for that one guy…
>>579206497There's at least one person who's convinced that all rhetoric about going back is coming from one guy who makes the pastebin on the other thread and is autistically obsessed with maintaining it.But idk what it would take, and idk whether a team leader has any meaning at this point anyway. Probably people could just decide to go there and make posts there, then when people see chess posts that are consistent and high quality they might follow.
>>579205789A hero tried earlier this year and got stonewalled by the teamtrannies like Zoombam and Chest. He was going to make a fresh team and court people from other boards. But zoombam sperged out and accused him of being Catmixer and Chest blocked him, so he left. Now they reap what they sowed
>>579217083But it turned out that WAS catmixer lol and he threw a hissyfit and threatened to dox people afterwards
>>579217083Why do you guys have some attention circlejerk trannies here? Can't you just make a thing and ignore circlejerk trannies? I'm new and don't understand the issue.>noo we can't do X because zanzibart and smellyshart will be mad bweeeehBro we're all adults here
>>579215312VG, TG, SP… a /chess/ by any other name would still smell as sweet.I go wherever the high-quality memes with a slight tinge of racism are.
>>579215312>guy who makes the pastebinI wonder who wrote this lmaoAt least it's sligtly more subtle than when you used to refer to yourself as " the curator of the pastebin" while pretending to be someone else
>>579222075See this is exactly what I am saying. No, just because I mention it does not mean that is who I am. You are retarded.
>>579222406Anyone else would call you pastebin tranny retard
>>579222749No, because not everyone adopts your pet name for the guy. To me he is a nonentity, while to you he's the most important thing in your life and you think about him 24/7.
>>579222950>only one person says pbt>every instance of him getting called out is me Even if you aren't pbt you are a schizo projecting your insanity on others, many such cases
>>579223549All I know is I've been called him many, many times despite not being him and despite literally never making a pastebin in my life.At least someone calling you the person who is obsessed with him has some merit because you are acting like that person; you might as well be the same person. I am just living my life and not acting like anyone but myself.
>>579224010Yes and also I feel like a big reason people don’t want to post is if you do, you either get the obvious samefag guy replying with nonsense “u tk him 2da bar?”-tier questions, or the other guy replying with pictures of Israelis accusing you of being the samefag. Both are irritating.
>>579224010>you are acting like that person; you might as well be the same person.No you see you are still acting like there is a single person obsessed with pbt(perhaps a psycho?) and you just mistook me for him but that's not the case everyone who has been here since the /tg/ days is familiar with his antics and has seen him pretend to be someone else who just happens to say we should move back on /tg/Now it's possible you are new to the general and I was wrong(even though we go over why we can't go back to /tg/ like once a month and you have apparently been here long enough to be called pbt " many, many times " but whatever) but my assumption was more plausible and saner than yours regardless
Imagine /chess/ having two teams, let's say five members each. One strong guy, three average guys, one weak guy. They all support and coach each other, train with each other, and each weekend we do tournaments and play a classical like on chess olympiad.Why can't we have nice things?
>>579225418not enough strong players for that
>>579225418I will be the weak guy
>>579225418We used to have theme team battles when the general was more active
>>579225418if we do this I can pay up twenty bucks a week for the winning team
>>579225210No, I've been here for like 6 years or something.
>>579225418It's not clear if we have 10 members total on this forum.
>>579217931>>noo we can't do X because zanzibart and smellyshartKek they are really called that
My test runs of the Slav are going well, it's definitely an opening that suits me. As usual, whiteshitters fall apart when they can't tacticool a win within 15 moves. Just let me endgame brohttps://lichess.org/sdk4Fn4p/black
>>579227970we do a vote
>>579228308Should I learn the Slav for when I don't want to risk Dutching it up?
This thread is too active. I'll post a link and if I get someone I haven't met before then I'll start thinking of a tourney.https://lichess.org/it7MX92JOtherwise I'll assume most of this is artificial
>>579228746It just depends on how you want to play. The Slav can be very dry and is basically a guaranteed endgame unless white self-destructs. If you're not very good at endgames or positional play and prefer playing for initiative, there are better optionsI'm best at endgames so I play openings geared towards that
>>579206110>>579206497/tg/ is a no-go because teh tranny janny while delete everything tha ttriggers him. We need /vst/ or some other gamign-related slow board. That doesn't prevent the resident schizos from ruining the thread, but it helps with them dying every couple of days.
>>579217931because that anon is lying, the "hero" did make that team and tried to shill it on other boards, after days his team had 4 members and no one signed up for his tournament so he rage quit the general or at least claimed tohe seemed legit mentally ill, when chest blocked him on lichess he had a furious spamming melty and threatened to dox his dadSee for your selfhttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/550140432/#q550405338melty continued for that thread and the entirety of the one afterhttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/550415741/#550482405
"chess is for smart, intelligent gentlemen" is the funniest scam normies believe inChess is played by retards, autists, morons and adult children. All top tier grandmasters are literal mouth-breathing idiots. Chess players are such big adult children it's not even funny. How did we manage to make the normalfags believe we are so superior?
Smart, intelligent, logical: >>579217931Braindead, retarded, obsessed, thread-ruining: >>579229872
>>579230392I literally posted proof that everything I said was factual, you dumb faggot
Alright anons of /chess/. Who is in for a tourney on Sunday? What time should it be (include time zone, convert it to utc+0 if you'd like)? What time control should it be?
>>579231105I'll join if it isn't during American church or volleyball hours
>>579231105Can I play if I'm a newshitter who barely can spot a fork from time to time or is it only for the big boys?I can play evening or night CEST, getting drunk tonight so I will be dead until evening
>>579231105I’m going to be watching the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope tomorrow
>>579231105It’s supposed to snow on Sunday but I might be able to play later.
>>579232164Do you like in Antarctica? Lol
booyah
I think if Seriouschest gives his blessing to the weekend tournament tomorrow and promised to show up it would make a huge difference
>>579241295Why the fuck do you need permission from your circlejerk attention namefaggots?Just go do something. Jesus fucking Christ. This is so pathetic.>NOOOOO WE CAN'T DO XYZ BECAUSE THE FARTYSHART DOESN'T PARTICIPATE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOso fucking pathetic. Multiple anons already said they will participate in a quick fun on Sunday, so who the fuck cares?
multiple threads archiving in the past month but we totally have a team ready this sunday guys
>>579244128people just don't give a fuck about the gamei don't know anyone who plays chessmaybe it was better during the covid chess boom, i learned one year ago
ATTENTION! ATTENTION!There will be a 3+2 Weaver Summer Resurgence tournament at 12:00 PM EDT on tomorrow, August 30th. The arena will be open for 1 hour. All ratings are welcome! The games are not rated.The password is "stjepan" without the quotes.https://lichess.org/tournament/y8NpmtSn
>>579249115>3+2brother my shitter ass can barely stand 15+10
>>579250237nigga then you should have said something when i askedi think people here like blitz but since you're the only one who gave any feedback I'll probably 1984 that post and switch it to 10+5 or something
>>579243390I just thought it’d be nice he’s the leader of the team after all, I hope he thinks about it
Black to move. Can you find the best move?
>>579243390KYS
>>579254698Is it something other than taking their queen?
>>579255016He’s totally right, why do you have such a servile nature
So who's gonna play me in London or Scotland next week?
Hi Seriouschest are you willing to help promote /chess/ and our weekend tournaments?
>>579263648>begging a known cheater to join the tournament
>>579264062Seriouschest wants to promote his videos here but won’t support the team?
Are all georgians that ugly
>>579243390>it would be nice if x joined>OH SO YOU ARE SAYING WE CAN'T PLAY UNLESS X JOINS?????!?!!! AHAHHHHHHH YOU PATHETIC FAGGOT JESUS CHRIST I'M SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!actual retard
>>579276281you literally asked for his blessing #faggot
>>579276359It wasn't my post and I admit the phrasing is a bit cringy but it's true that strong players joining used to attract more people to the tournaments and chest in particular used to record his tournament games with commentary which also attracted peopleI just wanted to point out that retard misread a 1 sentence post because he's so desperate to confirm a silly narrative he got from a post full of lies

>>579245137They do when you don't live in retardsville. Every time I go to a house it has a chess board
>>579280630quit saying the r-word and nigger. it scares people away
>>579281404Blame your parents for making them your first and last name

>>579280630>They do when you don't live in retardsville. Every time I go to a house it has a chess boardmiddle and upper class people do this to signal to others that they're "intelligent" because of the stereotype chess has. i bet most of them don't play chess often, if at all, and if they do they're probably bad (like 500 chesscom tier bad). epstein, for example, had a chess set at his florida rape mansion and he didn't even know how to play.in my experience:if they have a glass set, they don't play. it's just for show.if they have a nice wooden set, they may or may not play. the more pristine it is, the less likely it is that they play.if they have a plastic tournament set with vinyl or cloth board, they play and are probably decent.
>>579264131He's not the one posting his videos here. Chest doesn't browse /chess/ anymore. How do I know? His posts were obvious. They almost always consisted of anime images or his favorite pink bear character with some pithy remark, and sometimes he'd post gifs of his best games (pgn from lichess uploaded to chesscom then gif exported from chesscom)
i've completely lost interest in chess. don't even watch tourneys or whack it to my chessfu anymore.
>>579291110Wait until they release Chess 2
It’s better to practice semen retention before they have an important tournament anyway. They can absorb the energy.
>>579292749sauce?
>>579276281learn how to read retard, that anon literally asked for permission>if Seriouschest gives his blessing to the weekend tournament tomorrow

>>579295997it's both true that catmixer samefags relentlessly and there has been some organic activity in the past 16 hours. but perhaps it's not as much as i thought as the tourney isn't looking too good
I hate chess so much
This is how we treat Scandi cuckies ITC
>>579298398>someone makes up egregious lies>people point out they are lies and link the archive for proof>according to you the problem is the latter not the formerretarded or the faggot who lied in the first place?
am I the most inconsistent faggot here?I can play like a strong player and see everything, and next game I can bloonder like a retard and lose to a three digits player
>>579302997I feel the same way at times.
>>579302997I don't know about inconsistent, but you are definitely a faggot.
>>579305402nah it's just an STD, I got it from your mom
Why is the OP so barebones? Where is the repo? Is there only a link where I can play? Where are the learning resources? Why is the link in the OP the link in the OP? Who picked it and why?
So much for the weekend tournaments making a comeback
>>579310686If you're so cognitively impaired you can't find information to learn from on your own, especially in the era of LLMs, you'll never get past three digits rating.
>>579310837I don't give a shit about this game, spoonfed me the answer so I can argue about it in another general.

>>579315173>the other is a pussy who couldn't muster the spirit to show his mettle and didn't even join
>>579315173We don’t talk about our /chess/ brothers like that
>>579315173>the other is an unrated account made four days agoI came back to the game after not playing for a few years, no clue what your issue is.
>>579249115GGs especially by the quite intelligent, and dare I say handsome gentleman Mr. Forks. Might anyone here have his number? My wife was asking me, not sure why, something about "smoothened metal..." whatever the ladies go on about.
I keep forgetting how to play the Falkbeer Countergambit.
>>579283776also annoying if they have nice pieces permanently set up on a wooden board near a window. As any owner of wood tables and bookcases knows, that is the way to bleach piece shadows onto the surface.
>>579315173/chess/ is dead not sure what faggot host expected
Finna start playing the closed sicilian. Getting too old for e4 but not old enough yet to play the d4 c4 system opening.
why do low rated people from african or arab countries stall or disconnect so often when they're losing, instead of resigning like a normal person
>>579319539You can play the Bb5+ lines as well. That is also lame and boring.
>>579317581>3 'mixerswhat drives someone to put on this charade
oh shit i missed a tournament

>this thread
why is /chess/ so against tournaments lmaoi've never played them but if you're low rated you can try yourself against stronger opponents, all beginners should flock to shit like this, the game that taught me a lot about pawn play was literally in a simul against an IM
>>579321710give it up 'mixer no one is going to waste their time playing with you
>>579320237That's the type of 0.0 position I lose more often than not
>>579321710Fuck off cheatmixer
>>579321710I wish I had a strong chess rival friendWhere do I get one bros
Best openings for this feel? Don't say Caro-Kann or any kind of London.
>>579324512system openings
>>579324512London is the best for that. Maybe Colle system instead. Scandi against e4. idk what against d4, maybe Queen's Indian since no one books against it and it's not so forcing
>>579324512Leningrad Dutch against d4, you basically do the same shit and have the same plan
>>579324512Any catalan type setup. Free elo below 2200 FIDE.
>>579324512where’s his nose
>>579315173I’m the trash can. I lost all the games but I showed up and had some fun. Why didn’t you?
>>579327984He doesn't need one. He uses his ears and listens to what smells have to say.
>>579335141Take as many opportunities to play strong players as possible, try to catch a simul on lichess with a titled player.
>>579301389You missed the opportunity to attack their queen at the end of your gif.
>>579310686Someone put together a treasure trove of resources, but there's a psycho who insists on creating every thread, as if he were the owner, and he never includes the link to the Pastebin just because he's jealous. He also forced the thread to move to this board from /tg/, where the general belongs.
you now remember immortal chess forum.
>>579336497This is exactly the reason I joined. I mean I know these threads die within a day or two, but I thought people just want to play, not talk shit here. Boy was I wrong!
