>>583650258>>583651076>>583651287Relax, you couldn’t afford her anyway.
>>583648567It's considered suboptimal because it doesn't attack the center, and weakens the Kingside. However, it works because players get distracted attacking that pawn, or because they cannot develop their King's Knight to f6. In many cases, you end up exchanging that pawn for one of Black's central pawns, so it's just fine. Stockfish already gives 1 of advantage to Black, but it doesn't matter much if you're opponent doesn't respond correctly, which they rarely do. Basman has written entire books about it.
>>583651880How much?
>>58365204640,000,000 tenge, or $88k per year. They had to make it public because Bibisara complained she wasn’t getting enough. This is funded by the new FIDE president Turlov btw.

Good morning /chess/
>>583642864I feel like, if anything, they're an advantage in the 1200-2000 range online, cause people are so used to the usual ruy/italian/qg/e5/sicilian/french/caro lines that an unorthodox opening (as long as it's not completely retarded) throws them off and they start dropping pieces left and right.
>>583628354>Multiple in a rowThe hans thread got deleted for doxing
This game perfectly encapsulates how powerful the compensation that one gets from the Naselwaus gambit is
>>583652389She'd make more doing OF
>>583675095You have to be hot to do OF tho
>>583668614They are an advantage even at GM level
>>583648567in the top line white just loses that pawn for nothing
>>583685612I feel like this is how it goes with most meme openings. they're really fun unless the opponent knows the refutation and then you just have a bad game for no reason
This kills the smith moron.
>>583595205I love the idea of this ancient ass solved game having a meme opening in which there are only 8 possible openings that can be made
>>583692691>there are only 8 possible openings????
>>583692814There's 8 pieces on front row. You can only move pawns first right ?

https://youtu.be/gXh29KJpw44The first game in this video is very Stjepan-esque

95% accuracy on one game, 72% in the next
I tend to have always have over 90% on opening and endgames, but lower down to 60% on middlegames
>>583704497He always gets wrecked when he faces another adult improver caro chud. Plus he always 'calculates' lines many moves deep, most of which involve him giving away his pieces.
What do you guys have against Stjepan? He thought me all of my opening repertoire :(

>>583707608sorry i will try to wait longer before i post next time
>>583707231That's why you're hard stuck at 1500....
>>583690959If the retard continued with the normal morra moves against e5 Sicilians (nf3, bc4, qb3) instead of nxd4 he'd have whooped your roodypoo candy ass
>>583708913Chess sure is great
>>583708913uh oh spaghettio
>>583690959You were worse out of the opening stop mocking(heh heh) the opening for your fellow 1200 shitters blundering
>>583709309Against the e5, nf6, nc3 setup white goes ng5. MORRA STILL UNREFUTED
>>583709658>worse out of the openingand he was a 2300
Place is packed
>>583708841But unironically, I've seen strong players analyze Stjepan's opening videos and they point out many mistakes. The problem is that he doesn't truly understand the openings because he isn't strong enough to. He's just vomiting out engine lines without deeper understanding
>>583709989That’s fair criticism, but “just vomiting out engine lines” is probably overstating it. You can have inaccurate analysis while still understanding the general ideas of an opening. Engines also routinely find moves that even very strong players wouldn’t naturally understand at first glance. The real question is whether the explanations hold up when you go beyond the engine line.
>>583709893post the game?
>>583710251I already did, what do you mean
>>583710370i didnt see my bad lul thats what i get for skipping to the bottom of the thread
>>583709893I don't care if the engine says -0.1 or whatever I prefer white after gxf6>he was a 2300if it wasn't bullet I find that hard to believe nxe4 and re2 are 1200tier movesAnyway the fact that you needed to make or find a study against the morra shows you got banned by it many times
>>583709309>top engine move still has white's winning percentage at 56%Curious, it's almost like the morra has positional compensation even when black thinks they're doing good
>>583711616>people cheating with an engine win half the time from this position

Way too funny when some thoonker wastes time figuring out how to win a pawn I best him with +15 seconds by moving stuff aroundIf you think youre a retard. FACT
>>583715336Pawngrubbers do be retarded most of the time. They can't see the forest for the trees.
I relate to Stjepan because I also overthink easy moves, miss the most obvious things, and see the best move but do not play it because there is a slight possibility it could go wrong

Which chess engines represent the different LLMs? Is Stockfish ChatGPT? Is Lc0 Gemini?
>>583720287The Queen's Indian
>>583722902Yeah, basically lol.Stockfish = ChatGPT calculates/searches a ton of possibilities.Lc0 = Gemini more neural-network “intuition” and pattern recognition.Not a perfect comparison, but that’s the basic idea.
>>583722902>>583724109Which one is Rodent?
>>583723394How so?
How does Stjepan manage to still look 25 when he is nearing 40?
Can’t stop drinking and losing elo points.
I hate how inflated my correspondence rating is because retards join the match but never make a single move.
If you lost less than 500 points this week lower your voice when speaking to me
Just lost another 100 elo, thanks Danny!
It’s absurd how smug cheats are. Playing instantly and then not even studying the game after. It’s not even educational cheating, they’re really like “Yeah, I just did that” Online chess is 100% cooked purely because there are way too many subhumans in the world
Yeah, the smugness is honestly the most annoying part. At least if someone cheats to learn, you could argue they’re trying to improve. Playing engine moves instantly and then acting like you actually calculated all of it is just delusional. Online chess really does bring out the worst in people.
>>583732495>Playing engine moves instantly and then acting like you actually calculated all of it is just delusionalDo they play with >95% accuracy? If they don't it's a skill issue and you're seething about people with better intuition than you.
>>583732495guess you arent following my FAG system
>>583601141QRD? I missed this and hate that potato faced slut

>>583738459She posted a 960 game she played against a kid, moved her rook and then castled that way later on
>>583738992Did everybody in the comments catch it and laugh at her cruelly for her embarrassing mistake?
>>583739228Of course to which she responded she didnt know it was an illegal move until reading the comments
>>583675481You are gay and also that’s not even necessarily true>>583675095I think she’s more passionate about chess than money. In an interview she said she was literally in love with chess. I’m actually starting to think she’s a bit weird. If she wasn’t so beautiful it’d be easier to notice.
I made a Mexican Cuckold Kanni so mad that he blocked me after this
>>583747992You were losing out of the opening until he hung his knight lul
>>583748249COPE. Stockfish evaluates the position after 19. Qd3 as 0.0. I was fine even without him blundering his knight
>>583748693The flat 0.0 eval usually means there’s a perpetual or some crazy engine line requiring absolute best play for multiple moves from both sides. But even in the double-edged lines the swings are potentially much worse for black, I guess because it likes your active king if the queens come off and the semi-open f file especially if he castles kingside. It’s an interesting position my bad.

>>583757181How can you own him he’s not even black
>>583748249Do chuddo kuckies really think their opening is "winning"?
>>583759071Well it’s definitely not losing. Which is part of its utility. I got Esserman to admit he would use it in certain situations in tournaments on stream. But he said “of course I don’t you guys to know that,” because his audience might take it the wrong way and think they should main it. And playing for a draw in 1500 games is just pathetic, let’s be honest.

Black to move, it's M4. Rd2 is first, then what?
>>583832162Qa3+ Ba2+ Qxc3#
>>583822690There are two primary ways of playing the Caro: very aggressively, or for a winning endgame.Aggressively entails manuevering your knights to pry open the center and play for an attack, usually forgoing castling, like here https://lichess.org/study/15UjJXyn/82IdoV3aAnd playing for an endgame entails maintaining your strong central pawn chain and spending most of the game trying to advantangeously liquidate.Both cases require active play and a knowledge of what you’re doing.Where someone like you who isn’t familiar with the Caro can go wrong is by just playing it passively. You just kind of hide behind the pawn chain, trade when your opponent wants, don’t press in the endgame correctly for the structure and the game is totally static.
>>583835839>Caro>Can be played very aggressivelyNone of the game in the study are the 3. Nc3 mainline. c6 is a waste of a tempo, if black wants a semi-closed position with actually aggressive winning chances they should play the French
>>583835839>spending most of the game trying to advantangeously liquidateI've noticed Caro Chuds are obsessed with trading. I once had a blitz game where a Caro Kucky gave up an entire piece just to trade queens. I guess some retard on YouTube told them that every end game is winning? Truly, playing the CK is a mental illness.
>>583841782Generally speaking the Caro is better in the endgame, yes. That’s one of the reasons Capablanca loved it. So trading down is a viable stragegy. But just trading pieces willy nilly isn’t. That’s why I specified “advatangeous”. You have to know which pieces and when.

The time control is 8 hours per player over two days, and the match is a best of 7. These two players met earlier this year in the Kisei title match, which Fujii won 3-0.The opening was double static rook. Instead of playing into a mainline opening, Hattori played the Murata system (which Fujii has also employed as gote before).

>>583878768More than I count. Yeah, at a certain point, you stop counting. Definitely the toughest GM I’ve ever beaten was Hikaru. He showed some nice class to complicate a losing endgame, but there was no stopping what was coming.

>>583913729why would i care what ai does to chess
>>583913614I am whiter than you.
>>583915149yeah right thats why youre seething about jeets getting exposed
>>583915237It's why I am telling you to not manipulate the data.
>>583915335i didnt manipulate shit, the first one is unfiltered and is more relevant
>>583915414You arbitrarily eliminated smaller countries from consideration. India had 894 games and NL had 51 games. NL was actually vastly overrepresented compared to its population. 51/894 = 0.0570, while the population ratio of the two countries is 0.0123.
>>583917096>population ratio of two countriesone of which has 50% of the population illiterate and living in squalor, go be retarded somewhere else jeet
>>583913614why did you quote the post that wasn't sorted by percentages and (if you're the same guy) wasn't your other post which was supposed to be filtered and better? it doesn't have anything to do with india does it? you wouldn't mislead like that would you? you do understand per capita, no? or did you genuinely mean to make the point that the largest population in the statistics has the largest number of abandonments?
>>583917431per capita is irrelevant to someones playing experience
>>583913928I don’t see nobody playing tictactoe no more, chess go na be like checkers

>I'm winning the qu--ACK
>>583917728i see, so there's no implication that indians have a certain negative quality or tendency to abandon when you say they're at the top of this abandon stat list, right?
>>583879369Im undefeated against titled players, beat about 9 FMs and NMsThey were all slow brain giga bullet shitters trying to improoooove as I fucked them up while taking a shit or working
>>583920972do i really need to spoonfeed you how to interpret the stats?>high raw number of games/abandonsplayers are more likely to encounter someone abandoning from this country>high percentage of abandonsthis country has proportionally more abandoners (but vulnerable to accuracy issues at low population numbers, hence filtering to countries with at least 100 games) india is at or near the top in both lists so it doesnt really matter which way you want to look at it brownoid
>>583921461thanks, so the answer is yes. i don't see the point of mentioning that at all then, it seems rather irrelevant to the grander idea of disliking indians. unless you're misrepresenting yourself.
>>583922034come back when youre over 100 iq then maybe you'll be able to understand
>>583921461>india is at or near the top in both lists so it doesnt really matter which way/argumentImagine if jeets spent even a quartier of the energy they waste defending their behavior and country on improving both instead, india might not be the worst shithole on the planet and jeets wouldn't be so universally despised
>>583922153i think i understand what you're doing quite well. it seems meaningless to bring up that statistic unless you intend tor people to not pay attention to your post and think that is relevant
>>583923445it is relevant, ask anyone (honest) about their experience against cheaters, time wasters, and abandoners on chesscom and it's basically a guarantee they'll have india and indonesia in their top 3 worst offenders. anecdotal evidence yet the real evidence agrees, they are most likely to encounter these (based on raw numbers)whether they do it proportionally more than other countries rather than just having a higher population is another question, and the answer is also yes in conclusion we need a chess site where only trve europeans are allowed, no thirdie brownoids or mystery meat mutts

Destiny introduced Kasparov as "probably one of the most prolific players in history" lol.He's the undisputed goat you subhuman absolute elolet
>>583930753>Fischer said that he had studied the first Karpov–Kasparov world-championship match (1984–85) and concluded it was “all prearranged move-by-move.” He extended that claim to elite chess generally, saying that top-level games and matches were effectively prepared or staged rather than honestly discovered over the board.>He also publicly grouped Kasparov with Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi, saying they had “destroyed chess” through supposedly “immoral, unethical, prearranged games.”>In a 2005 radio interview, Fischer said, "Kasparov is a gangster, he is a disgrace to chess, he is a disgrace to the human race.”
If all the famous historical masters were brought to the priesent as their peak selves and given enough time to acclimate to modern theory, and engine prep would Magnus still wipe the floor with everyone or would Fischer, Capablanca, Kasparov, maybe even Steinitz, or Morphy take the crown?
>>583932353The goat list would remain the same as the alwaysFischerMorphyKasparovKarpovCapablanca....Fagnus at 9

I have a gay idea for something that sounds at home on chess.com: basically the un-castled king who hasn't yet lost the right to castle gets a little crest or icon or whatever on him or in the corner of his square, and when you castle or lose the right to castle, the crest breaks with a cool sound effect and some PS1 style visual effect with transparencies.

Tin foil hat time. Nothing was smoked before writing this post. Also for the record, I am a beginner, started playing 6 months ago and am rated ~1000 lol. My theory is that the goal of the matchmaker is to keep your win rate at 50%, but the way it tries to do so is dumb and frustrating to experience as a player. I have noticed that this happens in “streaks” where if I start winning too many games in a row, I’ll get hit with a big magical loss streak to balance out the scales. The “how” goes deeper though and what I find annoying. For example, when I was playing 1e4 I would play the scotch, and would generally win with it. But then I started winning too much, so to “test” my rating the matchmaking algorithm pitted me against openings / opponents that it assumes I’d lose against. Instead of the standard 1e5 response from black, I’d get a “streak” of Caro Kans and get wrecked. So I learn a response to that, start kicking captain caro booty and then poof no more. Then back to the standard response, back to my old peak rating. Oopsie we can’t have that, too many wins there, let’s give him a streak of gambit crack heads rated 150 points lower that memorized their one little line. -10, -11, -12… Recently I switched to 1d4 and cruised past 1000 elo no problem. But chess.com obviously didn’t like that, so it stopped giving me people who play the standard openings, and then put me on the englund gambit pipeline. What are the odds that 5/10 games as white were that opening, but as soon as I learn the refutation to it, bye bye no more. And the cycle continues. I understand that it could be a way to subtlety teach you how to respond to different openings and improve, but the experience is super annoying. Since it feels “artificial” and "rigged". It’s statically improbable that you’d see the “streaks” so my theory that it’s intentional to keep your rating at 50%. Anyway, has anyone else had this experience?
>>583968493I agree with your theory, Thibault is out to get me
>>583926498masochist huh?
>>583968493There is 0 chance that chess.com is advanced enough to have anything that complex. Recently (a couple years ago) they laid most of their staff and replaced the ability to contact them directly with poverty non-functioning “AI chat bot” (isn’t at all). Their whole scheme is to maximize profits and reinvest as little as possible back into the site. They are far less capable and far less interested than you imagine. All they want to do is put up a chess site that you can play on and find ways to profit
>>583971095that isnt "complex" its a bog standard matchmaking algorithm, popularized by cod, theres no reason che$$com couldnt do it too

>>583987347Nope, I was neither of them
>>583989823How can i get in contact with the winner?
>>583992445That’s me. What do you want
>>583968493I only read 1/5th of your post but you are correct. If you stay in the matchmade queue at 14-1600 you will stay there forever. If you’re on lichess you need to be targeting scalps off 17-1900s on the open lobbies. They don’t tell you about this metagame when you first sign up but that’s what you gotta do.
How often do you guys draw? I basically never do
>>583993307Frequently. My games tonight were two draws and three wins. It’s much more common above 1900, at lower ratings there’s constant instability because neither of you know what you’re doing. You just blunder back and forth until one of you wins
>>583992765How did you do it?
>>583993307Used to draw a lot as a kid, drew all the Pokémon
>>583993737I realized I overextended by pushing c4 and could either defend it passively with Nb6 or play actively and maybe take it to an endgame which is the only thing I’m good at. When he offered the queen trade I was relieved and thought I would probably draw at worst. Then he got down on time and played inaccurately resulting in a victory for myself.
>>583993979What’s your rating?
>>583994478These digits
>You really cannot compare ratings across eras. Do you think 2785 rated Bobby Fisher in 1972 has any chance against 2782 rated Sindarov?Is this redditor correct?
>>583994737If you just pluck him out of 1972 then he's correct. If given time to acclimate to 2026 chess he'd be battling Magnus for #1
Sindarov is the best player in the world right now and Magnus would have no chance if he played him, which he's not gonna do to not make it obvious

>>583996009I actually agree with this, I think Sindarov beats current Magnus in a world championship match pretty handily. Pragg probably would too

>The Alekhine Defense is highly underrated>I’m just over 1700 on lichess. So I’m no master, but I am top 30 percent of players on the platform.>I play the Alekhine exclusively against e4. My win rate with it is 74 percent>white has no idea what they’re doing against the Alekhine. They want to play Ruy Lopez, and against Alekhine’s they can’t. They’ve probably almost never seen it, so we’re in my territory now.>At the human grandmaster level, it’s also underrated. Alekhine himself won the majority of his games with it. Fischer also won the majority of his games with it, including a draw and a win against Spassky.>If you’re not a grandmaster though, this is actually a huge advantage. If White wants to play a traditional center control strategy and you bait them into overextending their pawns in an opening that is likely unfamiliar to them, you will usually win.>Alekhine was a genius. Please try out his highly underrated opening defense as black. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
>>584038623Unironically this is correct. The Alekhine is a top 5 defense to e4 and is better than the Chudo Kann
>>584038623I usually try to transpose into a Vienna gambit against the Alekhine.
>>584039018It’s a good opening, I’m just laughing about “I’m just over 1700 on lichess. So I’m no master, but I am top 30 percent of players” and feeling emboldened to pontificate about what openings are sound

Is there any funky little game or tool that lets me just push pawns against pawns, completely absent of other pieces? I'm kinda small/smooth brained I guess so I want to explore the various possibilities and permutations from various pawn vs pawn positions. (Don't say 'a chess board')
>>584072148>>584084064>>584084170It was a materially equal endgame (5 pawns, 1 rook each), and we were both pretty much stuck, but according to the engine, I was at -5.5 because my opponent blundered at a certain moment. I couldn't have figured out how to win that though.
I was thinking... what if we do a tournament the day after Thanksgiving but all the starting positions are meme openings? Like, each game starts as like a Bongcloud or a Borg and stuff like that. Does Lichess have the capability to do different starting positions within the same tournament? I think it could be fun and would get more people since it's a unique set up, not just a normal 5-man tournament
>>584119223It would be fun to make a Lichess Team and organize tournaments with only meme openings
Have you guys heard about when Kramnik played the grob?
Gukesh has totally different prep for his wc title match than what we’ve seen of his current dog fighting style the last two years. I think he’s just practicing his fighting skill in complex positions so that he’s got reps of it. He’s training. He’s not disappointed in his results, he’s playing to experiment and to learn.Do you see him crying about it? Storming away from tables? He’s been more stoic than Epictetus. None of these things matter if he wants to keep his crown. Tournaments, elo, ranking. Just numbers and he doesn’t care. Caring too much about these things is exactly what stopped Magnus and Hikaru and Ding from competing. And when they stopped competing instead getting worked up about failing, their skill declined. Rust set in. Self confidence fell short. What’s Gukesh done instead? Competed relentlessly and pushed non pep lines to their aggressive limit. He doesn’t give a shit about winning elo. He’s training for the title fight. When the WC match comes, the training weights come off and Gukesh is going to stop pulling his punches. We’ll see Gukesh bring solid openings into well prepared side lines. Then he’ll have complex positions and all the mental acuity to solve them.

>>583539481This game is bullshit, some pieces are worthless and the woman is overpowered.
>>584126221The only plothole are the bishops. Every piece makes sense in an army. But what bishops have to do with an army?

>>584127116>But what bishops have to do with an army?Since this game was adapted for medieval Europe, maybe at that point the Catholic church had their orders of knights? The knights would be under the authority of the Pope/bishops.
>>584127116Are you from the third world and didn't receive a history education? Bishops were extremely powerful in pre-modern times...

I have been playing 2+1 on lichess. When I used to play it a few years ago I could barely get to 2200, but now I got to 2370 the first day. Did it get easier or am I just better?It used to be that the 2+1 time control was harder to gain rating in, so whenever I would lose rating in 2+1 I would play a few 1+0s to get it back. Don't know if that's still the case.
>>584136270The majority of the third world got internet access
Someone finally dared to play an open sicilian against me, and they played like they had no idea what they were doing.
>>584137578Why the Kalashnikov instead of the Sveshnikov?
>>584138058Mainly because I have a book on it. It's a really good book btw, written by Daniel King.
why aren't you watching the US Championships, loser?
>>584116910you can set up custom positions on lichess or en croissant and play them against AI or analyze them by yourself. but you also need the kings on the board for it to be a valid chess position.
>>584140247>you also need the kings on the boardThis is what I don't want. I've also had a thought about having a separate mini board for the kings to move on to spend tempos or whatever without being on the main board but I guess that would ruin the pawn vs pawn theme if either side could use a tempo whenever they wanted? idk I'm basically retarded and trying to become less so. I want to break things down into their constituent parts so I can understand them without having to figure things out with so many moving parts.
>>584140095Because I don't see it on lichess.

>>584190689Well, it's still snowing so there's no way you could be drunk yet. Therefore it must be a bug on chesscom's end.
>>584126221Lel I fake bitched to my work big sister the other day that chess was the original woke game because of that. Also told her it was a shitty game because there’s only one map, no story, every piece dies in one hit, etc.
>>584144816I wouldn’t play it anymore if I were you. Playing the Dutch requires a knowledge of navigating closed pawn structures with knight maneuevers, and you have no instincts for what to do with your knights. I’d recommend switching to the KID and trying to cheese on long diagonals
>>584182451I'll never forget the first time I played in an OTB tournament and played a gentleman named L'Jarius.He tried to move his knight like a rook and got disqualified.He had to be escorted out by security. Kept turning around and trying to get at me and shouting, "Come see about me! Come see about me!" I had no idea what that meant so I just tried looking at him placatingly. But eye contact just made him shout more. I was 9 at the time.He had a lot of intimidating friends with him who kept telling me, "You done did it now... Uh huh, you done did it now boy." But fortunately I never saw them again.It was clearly his first time playing. He brought a little container of cheez-its and seemed all set to go. His friends were standing at the back of the room rubbing their hands incessantly and emitting at intervals "Uh huh!" and "You know what time it is!" The arbiter shushed them like thirty times over the course of our three move game.
>>584093417Fucking why
What's in your opinion the gayest concept in Chess?For me it's positional chess and the concept of the 'nice square'
>>584198627>For me it's positional chessExplain
>Play an opening instantly in blitz, because I know it>Brown retard thinks I’m trying to steal his izzat and moves just as fast, but making his own random moves>*Gets mated in 15 moves by a line I’ve memorized*Many such cases
>>584199927How did you memorize it if it was random moves
>>584199927Post game?
>>584200152The way I build my repertoire is playing through certain lines in analysis, guessing what my opponent would be most likely to play and memorizing the best responses, rather than just memorizing pure book theory which is rarely useful in online amateur chess. It’s not hard at all to foresee the average online player’s most likely replies, they are extremely ABC and predictable, and a big part of that is because of the ego they always involve in their game. If you dare them to take a piece with ideas of your own compensation, they will usuallu do so without hesitation, because they refuse to respect you. Same if you give a poisoned pawn. They don’t buy it, and they’re taking it, because fuck you. So I have a bunch of lines memorized specifically for people like this that think they’re original thinkers and impressive with their effortless intuitive play

>>584199095Not him, but I do find patzers who self-identity as "positional" players to be annoying. Chess is mostly decided by tactics until close to the master-level. There's no such thing as a "positional" player unless you're a GM
>>584216021trvke"positional" players are really just passive and will sit around jerking themselves off while waiting for you to drag them into an actual game
The game starts sloppy but watch to the end the mate is beautiful, the best part is that I was already dreaming of it when I played 18Bg3 and every move after that was focused on making it work
>>584200641What did that post have to do with it
>>583936926Why
>>583936497Of course you include Philidor.1. Morphy2. Philidor3. Fischer4. Kasparov 5. Carlsen
>>584230747fuck Philidor and his boring gay opening
>>583940235It would be Fischer because everyone who played Fischer at his peak lost 200 points off their elo.
>>584231127I couldn't imagine actually playing that opening. I love playing against it so much. it's so passive and easy to attack.
>>583944296Couldn’t beat Fabiano or Karjakin in classical. The only players he beat were the corpse of Anand and Nepo. Magnus really isn’t that good.
So far I have beaten four 2400s in 2+1 bullet, and in three of the four I was playing as white against the Philidor, playing the g4 gambit line.It's the Philidor killer, simple as.
>>584233489>play the Philidor>loseMany such cases .. That being said, they do seem incredibly under-booked. It's like they try to play it as a system opening against 1.e4, but that's not really possible lol
>>583956080>Shitnus...............drew people in a closed pool of people who wanted to keep getting invited to paying tournamentsWhat does this even mean
>the nigger is back
Have (You) gotten the coveted 40 storm yet /chess/?Technically I already got a 42 once but I wasn't logged in, now I have proofTake that "Australian Joey" from years ago!
>>584235270Yes, in fact I've gotten 10 more than that.
>>584234468There is an obscure schizo conspiracy theory that the top players aren't actually very strong and protect their inflated ratings by only playing each other in invite-only tournaments, and that Magnus is the ring leader who inherited the "pre-arranged matches" scheme that Bobby Fischer schizo'd about from Kasparov, and top players understand when invited to these tournaments that they are expected to let Magnus win. Probably what schizo anon is referring to
>>584238841That's stupid.Plenty of GMs playing on both chesscom and lichess public games and if you get high enough rating you can randomly face them.
>>584239056>2 games against grandmasters> 2 wins 0 lossesWould be the greatest accomplishment of my life except that I actually hold the world record for most runs scored in a 9 inning baseball video game (1999).
Every time I try to watch the US championship either they are already covering women or they switch to women within a minuteAm I super unlucky or do they legit spend more time on women than the open?
>>584242913I have had the exact same experience. No clue what their problem is this year.
I came in my pants when I saw this move desu
>>584244951for you sub 2000 plebs:top engine line after that move:>Kf7, Bxd7, Bxd7 (I win queen)If queen takes bishop:>Qxb5, Qxg7, Qd7, Qxh8+ (free rook), Kf7, Qxa8 (2nd free rook)And if you are big dumdum and don't bring the queen back to d7, I can checkmate in many ways with Qe7
>>584244045I watched for the past 30 minutes to make sure they unironically spent less than 5 minutes on the open so far, it's fucking surreal
>>584242913Because everyone in the world has gone insane and prioritize women and minorities regardless of merit.
>>584246289This is next level wokeness normaly women get like 30-40% of the air time and ofc that's already insanity and a waste of everyone's time but here it's literally more than 80%
>>584246289Billions must listen to vocal fry

It used to be the weakest piece, just one square diagonally, but queen Isabella objected
>>584140095I don't want to see women playing the Botez gambit
>>584242913how long before we have the US colored championship, or the US trans championship?

>>584256315forgot linkhttps://www.chess.com/events/2026-us-chess-championships-women/02/Yip_Carissa-Paragua_Megan_Althea
>>584239056Not to mention all the events like world cup,olympiad, grandswiss and various major opens where super GM play against weaker oppositionOr guys like Verygaysir and alireza who farmed a ton of points in the opens then lost them when they started getting invitations to top eventsIt's really a retarded theory
>>584238841There's a grain of truth to that when it comes to the very topmost top players. Not that they aren't strong but that their ratings might be a little inflated due to just playing amongst each other, and if they consistently played weaker GMs their ratings would all go down.
THOUGHTS on 2 Knights vs the French?
>>5842632822. Qe2 or 2. Bb5 are better ways to piss off French players.
/ourguy/ flushed mishra washington
>>584263598I just don't want a closed game with the French structure
>>584263752How does two knights accomplish that? They can play 3. d5 and have a closed game anyway
>>584264046>They can play 3.d5*Black can play 3. d4
>>584263660Hans?
>>584263752If you want to guarantee an open game you have to be willing to accept an IQP by playing the 4. c4 Exchange French

>>584285297Why is she openly wearing a cheating device on her wrist
>>584286773It allows for more effective cheating
>>584288118But that's against the rules
>>584288316Cheating is permitted for players with lichess accounts
>>584288614Ah checks out
>>584285297I like Harry Potter chess scene
>>584286773She has openly cheated on video before, you really think she cares?
>>584293285She never cheated not even once.
>>584293558it's on video....
>>584293994Post vid? You probably think Danya cheated
>>584294208I'm a fan of Danya and know he didn't use engine assistance but he did technically cheat. Methamphetamine is a performance enhancing drug
>>584294739He used an engine to evaluate his current position while streaming.
>>584294208Not making any accusation, but its sus that he was a top 5 blitz player in online chess but his classical otb rating was underwhelming. He also got fired by chess.com for some reason...
I don't know where else to ask but I got into this position. I checked the king to take the queen in a fork. Why is pulling the bishop back the better move?
>>584301094If you set stockfish to give multiple lines you'll see Bb3 and Nxc6 to pretty much have the same centipawn evaluation. It's just engine fuckery, taking the pawn and queen while he takes your bishop and knight is a +4 material advantage while moving the bishop back will also lead to similar lines that cause a +4 material advantage. Nxc6 is practically the best move on a human level so don't worry about it
Zefcat never cheated not even once’s.
NOOOO I followed the chudo kann course to the letter, how could this happen they told me I can just play the same moves against everything
>>584294739>Methamphetamine is a performance enhancing drugThis, even the biggest danya apologist has to admit at the very least he cheated at the world rapid and blitz 2024 by being clearly high as fuck on stimulants which is not allowed
narcocheatsky committed suicide
>>584318075even if he was blasted off his face on meth and looked at the engine for every move of a game he still didnt cheat because hes a good boy who dindu nuffincheating is a state of mind
>>584294739How do you explain that in one of his videos he was like "Yeah this move is better than that move. This is mate in 7, that move is mate in 8" after a casual look? And don't say " he was just that good of a calculator.
>>584324513He accidentally gave himself a hearth failure with meth and kratom, they found him on the sofa with the tv on, the owner of the charlotte chess club who found the body and was basically his handler said it wasn't suicide too(conveniently he only said that publicly many months later so .scam and the ecelebs they own could rile up people against kramnik pretending it was suicide)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekyt2Csrzhk

>>584327051Broof?
Those of you who play the Sicilian, do you have a really easy line against the Alapin? It was a surprise to me, but it seems like I get that more than an open.
>>584339328Simply git gud. Alapenis completely disappears above 2000 Elo because it has positional flaws that a 2000+ Black player will exploit.Either go study a book like a nerd or play vs Stockfish followed by 100 Blitz games to fully understand the system.
>>584339328People play it a lot because the Alapin raped everyone under 1500. The problem is tho is that it basically kills them game after a certain rating
desu even Scholar's Mate is playable up to 2000 if you bring your Knight to e2 to prevent Black's knight from going to d4 and hitting your Queen from that square
>>584339809>>584339897I am playing 2100s to 2400s.

It’s ok if chess is just not your thingChess is just a game.I’ve played chess since I’m a child and started playing online a few years ago. I started doing lessons for a year, watching video trying to understand the game, openings, strategies and all.And here we are : I’m still stuck at 500 elo for more than two years ! Every time I move a peace I forgot every basic rules, I can’t process all informations that I need to, I’m definitely not capable of thinking after the next move, and all of that IS OK.Because chess is just a game ! Yes if you play on chess.com you’ll have to be put into an elo but who cares ? That’s just a number ! As long as you still have fun, the number associated to your account shouldn’t be putting too much weight on the balance of your happiness !Some people might think this is a looser mentality but if that help just one people who struggle, then I have no problem with that :)So remember : it’s just a game, so just enjoy it even if you fumble

>>584383839The vienna gambit is too strong for its own good. If I play a gambit I want my opponent to know in the back of their mind that they're being a pussy when they decline it, that blowfish says the best move is accepting. In the vienna you're not even supposed to accept it
This is the only time I play the Vienna Gambit:1. e4 Nf6 2. Nc3 e5 3. f4
