Awkward edition

>>529709407 (OP)
>>read the damn book!
I will not

https://lichess.org/8osafEAV#70
why did my opponent resign, I was just about to train my lategame :(

>>529709407 (OP)
I like Marc Esserman, but I have a lot more fun playing the open sicilian than the smith-morra.
I wish he'd write a King's Gambit book, though.

>>529712605
Online ops always resign when you start to have fun

correspondence fancy rug anon, what is the queen d6 position? can you post the move order or position

>>529712605
Wife is more interesting than grinding out a -10 position. I'd have resigned IRL b4 that.

>>529716131
Here you go

>>529712605
down pawn and bishop, all remaining pawns one side of the board...
definitely time to resign

>>529716791
I think in this position? Ya even i would hesitate to take that yummy looking c pawn

>>529709407 (OP)
Would it be stupid to try to play the Morra against uscf 2100+ players in otb games?

>>529428110
>The Botez sisters were partying some time ago with Magnus and Aryan. I'd be surprised if the didn't fuck them senpai.
>Also, if these pictures really are floating around, then there's a chance Andrea herself leaked them because Magnus is happy and married now. Women are vindictive like that
Relax, it's not Magnus in the leaked pic. Magnus's purity and integrity is still intact.
I found this pic on 4chan btw, this very website, on the celebrity board

>>529717878
Knight d4 is nice crushing move

>>529718160
why are women so disgustingly aggressive in the social context

>>529718081
Super GMs have lost to it in slow chess.
>>529718370
Yeah pretty cool. So many insane winning positions in the Morra. Queen sac lines are so funny.

>>529718160
seems like her lawyers released a deepfake of an undoodled version that wasnt magnus

Apparently he managed to draw this -2 position, that f6 move shows up a lot, even in our first game

>>529721757
His endgame technique is very strong. So fast in time trouble. Sacking piece after piece like its 1825

>>529721757
Blacks queen side is frankly rediculous I'm surprised its -2 desu. Blowfish would beat mangoose in like 15 moves I reckon, based on absolutely nothing.

>>529723828
Romantic chess is so pre 9/11

Why is gukesh just OK with being bad at chess? If I was world champion I would at least try to be good.

>>529727864
Only God knows the unspeakable acts that I'd commit to this woman...

The final game of the Oza challenger tournament is being played, between Yoshiharu Habu (sente) and Takumi Ito. The time control is 5 hours per player. The winner of this game will play Sota Fujii in the 73rd Oza title match.
The opening was bishop exchange reclining silver.

>>529727864
but he is currently leading GCT Croatia

>>529734038
weebs get out

>>529736086
Shogi fag is one of us we accept him as an occasional poster

>>529737491
He's a schizophrenic freak who doesn't play chess or shogi and he's never been accepted

>>529737591
He's a staple of our community.

>>529737591
This

>>529737491
Nah he's an annoying faggot and should be mocked more

>>529749245
those /chess/ meetup videos were supposed to be private....

>>529749245
>>529751854
which one is seriouschest?

>>529749245
Sauce?

>>529734038
Ito won in 114 moves. The first game of the match will be played on 9/4. This will be Ito and Fujii's fourth time meeting in a title match, and their first time playing a match since Ito beat Fujii last year to win the Eio title.

>>529752561
the one with a serious chest

>>529734665
a tournament nobody's heard of.

>>529771459
Magnus, Fabiano and Alireza are playing too

Magnus looks very fat recently, did he pick up the booze again?

just spent nearly a minute thinking over an interesting new idea my opponent was springing on me in the opening before realizing the reason I hadn't seen it before was that it hung their queen, literally leaving it completely undefended in the middle of the board in a way you'd have to be completely retarded to miss
I need to start getting better sleep

/chess/, you are stronger than Stjepan in bullet, right?
The guy is unable to calculate at all so surely anons here are much better

>>529783816
i dont play boolet

>>529784374

>>529784374
Based

>>529784374
based and same

>>529784374
>>529784746
>>529785269
Then you guys surely are stronger than him in rapid chess, right?
The guy is unable to calculate at all so surely anons here are much better

>>529785627
I fell below 2200 currently but my peak is close to that
I also don't dedicate my life to chess like he does so it's not really a logical comparison, if I dropped everything else and worked on chess all day like he does I would gigamog him

>>529783816
my peak is higher but I'm currently lower :<

>>529775056
He lives with an italian foid cramming pasta in his face now its over

fabibros...

I really dislike that SLCC doesn't include the clock on the screen for a lot of the match. Very annoying.

>>529785627
I assume he's focusing on otb rather than his online ratings

Is Magnus /weakmind/ enough to job to Gukesh in rapid?

>>529783816
This makes me imagine him constantly commenting with his Stjepan-isms at high speed during every bullet game.
Multiple "I'm an eediot", "Oh no, I'm lost", "I want to throw up" etc. per game, but spoken at like 1.5x speed

Nobody's watching?

>>529799337
watching what

>>529785627
Bullet is gay

>>529799337
I'm watching Gary analyze Gukesh vs Magnus, it's getting tense

>>529800081
Who's winning? I can't watch right now

>>529800949
Magnus resigned.

He’s gonna kill himself

>>529800949
It didn't go well, you might want to steer clear of /r/chess for a few days

Mugzy Chokesen self-destructed against Gookesh

>Gukesh did extra training with his cybernetic engine interface to allow him to deploy it in rapid

it's fine you guys. magnus will quit rapid too and only play blitz and bullet, gukesh still can't touch him there, he's still the GOAT

How did he lose again :(

when is fagnus finally going to bring a cheating accusation against a poo

bwahahahaha

KWAB

fuck that's probably tens of thousands more cheating indians who will get into chess after hearing the news, literally every time a poo wins an high profile game online chess gets a bit worse, the future is unbelievably grim, I need to get into otb soon

KWABnus chokesen

>>529801361

>he caught the disease

good morning sirs
what's the cope this time

I have 2600 puzzle rating on chesscum with 70% solve rate but I'm hardstuck on ~1100 elo in blitz. Am I retarded bros?

>>529808856
chesscum puzzle rating is meaningless, it's designed for engagement. they always give you a couple easy puzzles after a fail.

>>529808856
From what I understand puzzle rating on chess.scam is meaningless because you don't loose points if you only get the first move right making it little more than a function of how many puzzles you did
Chess tempo is the best for online puzzles followed by lichess, tactics books are even better

>>529808856
How's your rapid rating? Probably not much better than your blitz (below 1500, let's say), which would indicate that you aren't calculating carefully in your games and are missing simple tactics.
Presumably your puzzle rush or puzzle storm (lichess) scores are low as well, which would mean that your recognition of tactical patterns (or ability to find ideas you haven't seen before and perform a basic calculation to verify them) is too weak/slow.

Generally, the archetype of the high puzzle rating, low elo player comes about because the player is afraid of playing/losing real chess games and just spends their time in the low-stress puzzle solving environment.
There is a lot to learn about chess and how to think about positions that you will not get from tactics puzzles, you need to play games.

>>529810065
I think on lichess I'm around 1300 blitz. I didn't play enough rapid but I guess I'm around 1400. I lose most of my games due to retarded midgame blunders or running out of time. You're right though I never enjoy playing vs people due to stress.

Magnus Chumpsen:
Obliterated.

haha shitnus lol I'm laffin tbphwyfam

Any interest in joining the lichess bundesliga again? Those were some kino tournaments

>>529813824
I am interested

>>529783816
>>529784374
>reference to YouTube e-celeb
>memesh about bullet!
Well even if the tournaments are 100% dead at least we know the funny will never stop coming… some truly Le epic memes my good sirs.

>>529813824
I would play

>>529813824
thursdays and sundays, right?
I could play thursdays

>>529813824
I would play as well

>>529813824
I'd play
how many anons are even still around from then?

>>529813824
i'm in
>>529818805
me

>>529813824
Is there a rating minimum or can shitters play too?

>>529821565
No minimum rating as far as i remember. I do think you need to have some rated games tho

>>529822639
how many people would we need? is 8 enough?
also are the teams rigid(as in do the same people have to play every week) or could any weaver show up when he can?

How do you teach under 5s? Just make all of their moves legal but you play normal? Just play K+Ps at first?

>>529824064
Play 3 check variant

Who else here is having cosy chess tuesday with Nemo?

>>529823948
The teams aren't rigid. Whoever shows up will play for your team.
There also isn't a size requirement, anywhere from 1 to 1,000 could participate, but it's a promotion/relegation type of league.
So in the lowest league your top 4 performers count towards your team's point total and if the team finishes high enough in the standings, it gets promoted to the next highest league. As you rise through the leagues, more and more participants count towards the total until you get to the premier league and up to 14 players can count towards your point total there.
It's tough to get that high because some of those teams are very large and can field teams with many titled players.
As I remember, last time we got to about the 8th or 9th league before stalling out. I'm pretty low elo, so I wasn't much of a contributor, but it was fun playing with my /chess/ bros regardless.

>>529827947
They don't even know how the pieces move yet let alone checks

>>529828062
protip: you can find much better looking women doing actual porn in 2 seconds, search "hot chinese girl porn" or whatever else you want on google, tug your peepee until white stuff comes out and then you can spend your time better than watching this shit

>>529830151
sounds feasible then, we should absolutely try it

>>529831032
i tugged too hard and it fell off, wat nou?

>>529831032
What if the tugging takes 3 and half hours and I do it 2-3 times a day?

>>529813824
What is it? Sounds cool

>>529831032
>until white stuff comes out
Might want to see a doctor about that buddy

>>529834182
....what do you mean by that

>>529841238
Hes a gooner so his is clear now

I have started doing some puzzles again because I noticed some calculation and evaluation problems during games.

Things have been going better than I would have thought even on the higher rated puzzles (solving on the first try about a third), but the ones like this just make me mad:
https://lichess.org/training/ycpS7
I thought this puzzle was particularly simple, you know play Rh1 at some point, if the d file clears Qd5+ and I was thinking of a line where you could win the rook on c8 with Qb7+ or something like that, so after the d file was cleared I blitzed out Qd5+, which is wrong, and some of the engine lines after the correct move are just incomprehensible to me, for example:
32. ...Rf8, Qh5 Re8, Kh2 Qe6, Bh4 ...
and there a forced mate after 13 moves.

I mean like what the fuck?

The moves in the most accurate line I can understand better:
32. ...Be7, Kh2(???) Bf6, Qh3 Kf8, Rd7 Qg8

I just can't look that deep into the position, sorry? I am doubting anybody can, to be honest. Am I supposed to sit back at some point and evaluate the position for pressure/initiative chances? That doesn't come easily in a puzzle...

nvm ok kh2 prepares rd7, still wtf i can't see that sort of thing 7 moves ahead :(

>>529818805
I'm still around from then and I would definitely be interested, although I probably couldn't commit to playing in every single match
As long as people don't mind getting hardstuck at a certain point in the league, it could be fun

>>529813824
I can play but chess is my healthy procrastination activity and I don't want to put 6 hours in a row playing serious matches and getting tired...

>>529843491
just bullshit puzzles, keep training and that's it, from time to time you'll find those weird puzzles with impossible calculation, don't spend so much time on them, if you don't see it at first then move on, spend 15 or 10 min max and that's it

>>529843491
didn't get this one at all

what >>529848440 said is true, there's just bullshit puzzles sometimes

>>529843491
that's a 2900 level puzzle anon. Don't feel bad about about not getting its subtleties. This one is especially hard in that there are many plausible moves at each step.
(An easier side tactic after the right queen move is ... Qxc4 Rd8+! RxR QxQ or Bf8 Qxc8)

>>529847985
the arenas are only 100 minutes

>>529847985
I have good news for you, anon. Each match is only 100 minutes and you can join and leave at any point during the match. Your points will still count for the team total.

Shitters can participate too, there is no penalty for losing. You aren't dragging the team down by playing. Even one draw or win will earn points for the team and at the end the top X performers will count towards our score. It's more important that we get at least the minimum amount of participants to meet the cutoff than it is that we have one or two strong players participate and nobody else. We'll be competing against 9 other teams simultaneously within each league every match so there will be plenty of opportunities to match up against players around your level.

>>529813824
I havent been playing chess or doing a whole lot of chess related stuff the last few months on account of turbulent life circumstances. This will give me the proper motivation to return to the digital board, I would love to play with my friends

That sounds interesting. We'll do really well.

>>529833875
>>529859772
It's a chess league. You play blitz (rotates between 3|0, 3|2, and 5|0) against 9 other teams twice a week on thursdays and sundays and score points for your team. If the team does well, it gets promoted to the next league up. If it does middling, it stays in the same league. If it does poorly it gets demoted to the next league down.

>>529861969

got a 000 in blitz against the french lol
https://lichess.org/bpvtvtiW

i played Qd3 because i had recalled it was generally good in the french (maybe after trading the knight retard), i wasn't actually thinking about the position, 1700s can't play this opening so i dominated him soon after

sharing the highest rated lichess puzzle i have ever seen, which fittingly has the most insane tactic i have ever come across too:
https://lichess.org/training/mix

>>529914973
wow what a puzzle

sorry
https://lichess.org/training/SkeGt

insane tactic in highest rated puzzle i have ever seen

>>529915156
i looked at the solution and still dont understand

>>529915384
play kf2 instead of kg2

did you understand?

>>529915156
insane did you actually solve it?

the chess drama thing with cheating and so on is all a theater, no? so many people reacting to what everyone else says, navara talking about kramnik in a blog post, kramnik talking about him and DIRECTLY TO him in a video, then again in another video, aronian to kramnik, then kramnik writes his own open letter in response. everyone talking past each other, these guys are either retards or they can't read. they should just have a fucking conversation, and livestream it too it would get lots of views and be very interesting. this is getting as bad as when he went after naroditsky

>>529916329
i played kf6 instead of kg6, it looked like i was crushing and i thought kf6 was winning one move faster...

>>529916671
they can't do real-time strategy, only turn-based strategy. you say something, then the other guy says something, and so on.

>>529916753
>he didn't see the obvious need to leave the diagonal open for the bishop
ishygddt
kidding aside that's already impressive, I'm drinking so I didn't even try I guessed qg3 with no calculation, didn't even know puzzle ratings got that high

>>529916671
he was right about Naroditsky

>>529916671
navarra is a literal aspie and kramnik seems to have at least some autistic traits too at least in a conversational sense, but yeah I think if they had a conversation they would come to friendly terms, it's not like with danya, kramnik really wasn't accusing him and the whole thing is an autistic misunderstanding

>>529917179
...in my schizophrenic mind

>>529917913
that it is always right and as true as Naroditsky cheating.

>>529917913

wait a minute... all this shit flinging shitfest was because Magnus lost a shitty rapid game?

>>529925026
there's a common narrative that the indian prodigies aren't very competitive in fast chess, so beating magnus in rapid is newsworthy. also gukesh beat magnus in classical like a week or two ago, and maggy punched the table lol

>>529925026
>Be the best, lose a game, everyone makes click bait videos and articles saying its ogre.

This is simply the chess ecosystem.

>>529925317
>common narrative
you know anyone can look at their bltz and rapid ratings and see that's it's factual and not a "narrative" right jeet?

really sad shit a human would be embarrassed

So I just got a metaphorical slap in the face for never actually learning this drawing pattern of K v K+P, when I played Kd4 I had already given up hope on winning, if I had been completely unaware I would be better off.

Check yourself in with a shrink for severe ADHD. A classical game is only a few hours. You can play 60 + 30 and get great games, no need to play some WC format that takes 5 hours.

Mockerbros who read the damn book, how do I get the smith morra if everybody else just plays e5 on move 1 every time? I try to play the evans but it's just not as fun.

Is the sicilian just not popular anymore? Also when I see those retards who open c6 I just want to abort

the danish gambit is the obvious answer it's not as sound as the morra but who cares, also there are some patterns and traps in common if you play 4nxc3
>Is the sicilian just not popular anymore?
I'm sure it depends on rating, time control and maybe even site but I face c5 more often than e5 these days
pic related is >=2000 on lichess blitz and rapid since january

>>529964828
I used to play the danish but I remember they played a line against me that gave me problems. Now I only enter the danish-like positions when they make shitty meek pawn moves every move like d6 and h6 that aren't helpful against the attack

>>529962753
Play the Kings Gambit Balboa

>>529966304
I guess... I'd need intense study because every chess eceleb has a video on their own stockfish line to "refute" it.

>>529966189
>I used to play the danish but I remember they played a line against me that gave me problems
it was the same for me to avoid some of the more annoying lines I switched to playing 2nf3 followed by 3d4 almost no matter what (unless ofc they hit you with some weird gambit of their own like elephant latvian buschgass which aren't common nor that hard to learn a good line against)and I'm quite happy with it

The first day of the first game of the 66th Oi title match is being played, between Takuya Nagase (sente) and Sota Fujii (the Oi title holder). The time control is 8 hours per player over two days, and the match is a best of seven.
The opening this game was bishop exchange, rapid advancing silver.

>>529993462

He's no Anand, that's for sure.

>>530017029
That mole removal surgery money gotta come from somewhere. Can't hate a guy for not wanting to spend the rest of his life as a dog owning bachelor.

>>530019292
Did he really get rid of the mole? I'm too lazy to go check. Haven't even watched him in a while and I know exactly what mole you're talking about.

>>530019741
I'm dumb nvm

>>529975202
what he says from around 57 minutes to 1:01 about navara is interesting, apparently they did have communication and clarified he wasn't being accused before the whole thing blew up then navara pretended they didn't, of course you have to take big vlad at his word for it but if it's true this image of navara as an innocent autist getting caught in the crossfire gets more questionable

>>530021241
very interesting, I am much more inclined to believe kramnik here
threatening suicide as a manipulation tactic is very common

>>530021834
Whos the most financially successful in this triad, please don't tell me it's daddy chess

>>530021241
even if this is true, it still doesn't justify his ridiculous lawsuit against navara

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

Please join the team, the first match will be in 31h!

>>530026185
I joined but will probably be sleeping at that time, if I'm awake I'll play

>>530026393
It's at 9am for me too, so same. I think the anons from Asia will have to play in this one

He should accuse him of cheating as he usually does when someone embarrasses him

>>530030764

>>530030163
Megatom1988
I won't be able to play today unfortunately

>>530030764
I have refrained myself from having any heavy handed involvement in the team ever since I first created it. Even when there was the initial cheatmixer drama, I was very reluctant to ban him in order to not create the wrong precedent.
Recently I got really fed up with all his nonsense and alts, the team is pretty much the same and everyone with at least a 2 weeks old account can join without any issues. The only exception is that it will have a zero tolerance policy to anything catmixer related.
There is no begging going on nor do I intend to involve myself in any other type of janitorial duties other than this one

>>530031431
This catmixer crap is utterly unhinged. It's also the thing that ruined anon challenges within the general, so much for people wanting to play chess together.

>>530028162
>>530028825
The account is new, but unfortunately I'm not, although I doubt anyone will remember my previous account mudbayrooks.
Yes, I'm still bad at chess, but my new job gives me a lot more free time so I've started playing regularly again.

>>530032515
And just to clarify, I'm talking about these sorts of witch hunts in general the specific player who people stopped doing anon challenges over was obviously the canadian.

>>530032606
of course I remember you, you were the one making the tournaments for a long while, nice to see you back

back in the WC it was said as a joke, but indians have actually completely ruined chess
everywhere you look there's just some shitskin savage screeching
and the sites are full of cheaters
how can chess recover from this?

>>530033386
My name is Rex_IM_Tac

>>530034268
I don't have anything against Indian players, but the fanbase is insufferable. They invade chess sites and ruin them with their behavior. I wish they were clannish like the Japanese, and thus just stay on their own sites.
>how can chess recover from this?
Chess is just returning to the source.

>>530036753
Yeah, you check out any chess related YouTube video and it’s flooded with Indians in the comments saying stuff like “Gukesh AURA” or “Shame on you Magnus.”

>>529969759

And the videos are totally unrelated to what they are asking lmao

How can Gukesh play so well in the rapid portion and be relatively complete dogshit at 5+2? The guy was dominating on the clock in rapid but getting rolled on time now.

>>530028691
Kek magnus played like absolute shit too

Pic unrelated.

>tfw you can tell you are playing badly but can't be bothered putting the effort to improve

>>530060019
It's so satisfying watching those rabid Indian fans gloat one day and shut up the very next one.
Something about them living vicariously through their player, getting a sliver of unearned pride, turning their humiliation to arrogance and then getting crushed feels nice.

>>530060019
and that includes rapid, I wonder what his performance in the blitz alone is

>>530067081
tru dat

Gukesh is the classical world champion. He destroyed everyone in Rapid too. But speed chess is not his thing, he probably doesn't focus on it as much as longer time controls.

He lets the little kiddies play with blitz monkey chess, while king Gukesh dominates in real classical chess.

>>530069437
if someone can only win in slow chess you know what that means? they cheat

>/chess/ on any other day
lol blitz isn't even real chess, if you aren't 2000 OTB classical you've never played real chess
>/chess/ when gukesh does badly in a blitz tourney
well, of course, that's what i thought. he can be a fake champion in classical, even rapid, but blitz, that's the real test of skill. yeah, magnus is indeed the GOAT

>>530070119
>if you aren't 2000 OTB classical you've never played real chess
literally never happened, this thread is constantly glazing speed chess

>>530070342
there was a single guy arguing exactly that a while ago but it definitely doesn't reflect the average anons opinion

>>530070119
Gukesh is Indian, he's going to get hate no matter what

>>530068704
He should've played with us shitters in the weavers tournament instead of Croatia. He would've had better chances to win it. Not sure if he would have been a favorite even here, but still, better chances

>>530026185
Aww yeah, this is exciting

Again if I was world champion I would at least try to be good

I'm going to watch the chess24 india stream of the blitz tournament so I can watch the commentators get progressively more depressed as Gukesh loses every game

>>530079985
Although so far, the weavers have more players than all other teams in the arena combined (there are only 3 players from other teams joined)
But once we get out of the afk-tier, we should have a few fun tournaments with decent albeit inferior opposition

what does it mean for Gukesh to have 1900 performance in blitz

>>530081637
how does promotion work exactly?

>>530082594
He's a jeeter.

>>530072867
>we are not so different you and I
the fact that even I had better performance ratings than a supposed world champion is fucking unbelievable
>inb4 against that field you would every game 100% of the time
sure but it's still so fucking funny

>>530083413
The details are in the tournament description https://lichess.org/tournament/W1HdlTcJ
The top 3 teams are promoted to tier 17, and everyone else is left to languish in the tier-18 mire (a wretched pit, a dumping ground for new or extremely terrible teams)

What's so wrong with being good at classical but sucking donkey balls in blitz? Chess didn't get its prestige from blitz, it's a completely different game that is barely even real chess

Cringemaxxing

>>530086839
It means you're a fraud fluke or cheat

>>530087951
kike or golem(formerly american)?

There's something kinky about a trapped queen

I think it's possible we could make it to tier 5-7 or so. Above that it's going to be tough, we'd need probably 8 1700+ players participating.

>>530086839
The story goes like this
>Classical: calculation based, mechanistic, drone like, for stupid people
>Blitz: creativity, art, Mozart of chess, for real people

Of course that's bullshit. When you're older you have more exposure to patterns and their outcomes so you can choose instantly and your diminishing stamina and memory that can check long lines don't affect your play.
As he grows older and starts losing more he'll get saltier but I don't think he will descend to Kramnik levels

>>530090565
how far did the weavers make it last time?

>>530090565
We have a bunch of strong players

>>530092139
I'm not sure, I found this link on google. https://lichess.org/tournament/drJWFG4w when we were in tier 9.
We crushed it in that tournament and made it to tier 8 briefly https://lichess.org/tournament/WgMNkcyc
but then kept falling back to the 9-11 range. We gave up in early August https://lichess.org/tournament/VdFx1ILt

>>530093743
only one man can lead us to victory

>>530094561
interesting thanks, that team was more stacked than our current one too, I wonder how many of them are still here
chest,czerka,getz, and lycan all played in the last team battle so there's a decent chance they might show up eventually
haven't seen blaziken and bunglet in years, I don't remember ever playing any of of the others

>>530088929

kek, Prag played the two sirs (or whatever you call the classic indian double fianchetto setup) in the gct blitz

>>530101554
wait, the top indian gms play this stuff regularly? Gukesh played it too and the commentators are saying it's one of his favorite openings.
I thought it was just a meme about 1200 indians on chesscom

>>530082594
he's just like me...

>>530019292

>>530111454
Oh wait, the mole is his ex wife, is that what you are joking?

does anyone have bortnyk and naroditsky's jobava london PGN files and is willing to dump them here

>>530091943
Every worldchamp played blitz and I mean a lot, Fischer, Kasparov, Karpov, Petrosian, Kramnik, Vishy, Magnus... all of them are/were really good at blitz, it's about intuition and it seems Gukesh doesn't have any yet, although he's still young and can develop it but is he willing to? It doesn't look like he's gonna do it

>>530083413
Outside of tier 18, promotion/demotion works like: top 3 teams move up, bottom 3 teams move down, middle 4 stay put.

>>530009712
Nagase's sealed move was 46. P-95, starting an edge attack.

Why did Gukesh go for the quick draw? Pretty disappointing.

>>530101554
>>530104126
It makes sense given the cultural context. The fianchetto is stronger when you can't move your pawns two squares and the double pawn move is an European invention, so Indians were playing chess/chaturanga with rules that favour fianchettos for a long time.

We're on our way out of the shit pit now.

Nice job, we were the best performing team in the entire 18 league. The top teams from 18A and 18B both only had 9 points
Anyway, looks like this Thursday should be another cakewalk but a few more opponents will probably show up

*bounce bounce bounce*

I've been making Chess my go to game for the past month (against bots) or so but I'm still hot fucking garbage and it's pissing me off.

I got to 900 in 2023 but since then I stopped playing and now I'm trying to learn by playing bots but it's not working. My anxiety has gotten worst so I only have been playing against bots until today when I finally started jumping back into real games and I've been getting crushed, making mistakes I never would against a bot with more time to think. I fucking hate myself and feel subhuman about all this, since I should just be looking for fucking work anyway

>>530233673
It seems you can train puzzle calculation in such a way that you're able to know by instinct whether there is a complication to the tactic you saw on first glance. Like when I play easy puzzles in the first ~20 worth of puzzle storm, I know that I'm just supposed to play the tactic and don't worry about the resulting position. I guess there's a level where you can do that fairly reliably up to at least 2000 puzzle rating.

>>530208491
Wow, that's interesting. The ideas aren't actually very complicated, but a bit difficult to see in advance

It is my intention to personally demolish NM oberschlumpf.

>>530227289
>I'm trying to learn by playing bots but it's not working
Yeah that's not a good idea. The difference is that when a human plays badly, he's still probably playing according to some plan or trying to set up tactics. Then it's up to you to find the refutation. When bots play badly, they just play nonsense moves. The closest you'll get to human-like bots are the maia bots on lichess, but even then it's better to play real players.

Leave Herr Oberschlumpf to me.
>>530227289
Not trying to sound like a cringelord but chess isn't something you can jump in and out of. If you want to get good, you have to study hard and treat it as a type of second job. That means you have to dedicate a certain amount of time out of your day everyday to doing tactics, endgame studies, etc.

>>530298653
after rook a7 h1=Q rh7 there is no way to avoid trading the queen for the rook, even if he doesn't promote you still play rh7 and then sack it for the pawn, you need the king on h8 instead of g8 so he can't move the bishop with check and give the queen squares to escape too

Just blundered away a winning position again. I literally peaked at 900 what a fucking pathetic existence

so fucking bad holy shit. i keep trying to play way way way too fucking fast and my retard monkey brian can't keep up with it and I just blunder over and over again. losing every match at 700 rank while always having 5 minutes left on the clock

I'm the worst kind of human. I want everything to come easily and I get fucking assmad when I lose even when I have done nothing to earn a win. I want to be a magical snowflake who is just uniquely good at everything with no effort, like a fucking 8 year old, and I throw fucking temper tantrums when it doesn't happen like that, which is always

>>530341735
take your time nigga, see what your opponent is trying to do, they have plans to even the retarded ones count as a plan. If you are playing rapid, sit on your hands, and stop being so impulsive, see what the fuck is happening on the board.

>this kind of whiny self deprecation is as counterproductive as it is pathetic
I know, it's a bad habit sorry.

>>530341346
i believe the actual cause of this is wishful thinking, you want to win and get that dopamine really bad, you don't bother visualizing lines before playing each move and if you do your judgement is clouded, you want the game to end fast.
Or at least that's how it goes for me, I am trying to work on it.

another thing is that there is a rewarding component to playing out 5 moves you calculated once at the beginning, instead of 5 times, so you avoid reviewing the position for changes (even the ones that seem insignificant).
Obviously the situation is different when you are losing.

>>530344952
How did he find rae8? Most of the moves looked very normal, but that one is super unintuitive

>>530345992
This is certainly true. I just stop thinking at a certain point, I keep trying to force things when I should just pull back. I need to "one up" him even if it's a bad move

This liga looks so fun, I'm going to have to give up my vanity rating

>>530348850
nta playing white
i think it was just to have something on the e file, what's actually blatant is him trading the queen kf7 to trap the knight, no he didn't see that 9 moves back lmao.
Also if you look through his games all the rapid ones are wins.

Jill yourself manlet.

Blitz aside, Gukesh decisively proved in this tournament that he is the strongest rapid player in the world. People doubted and called him a fluke after he won the WCC, but in every tournament after the WCC he has proven himself by finishing in the top half or better.
It's clear Gukesh is here to stay. Every "but" about him the old guard had is getting disproven in real time. In classical, he has a winning or equal head-to-head with all of the old guard. He is a mental monster who comes back from two losses in a row in Norway Chess and beats everyone. And now he has the intuition to sweep a field of the world's best rapid players. Gukesh's detractors started with "he was lucky to win the Candidates and face a weak Ding". Now their arguments have been reduced to blitz, which will come with time, and freestyle, lol, as their cope.
Gukesh's favorite player is the great Bobby Fischer. In 1972, people said, "It is hard to talk about Fischer. Since the time that he has been playing, miracles have begun." Today, Gukesh's opponents say that they don't understand his style of chess. They better understand it soon for their own sake, or in a year or two Gukesh will remind the world what a real chess genius looks like.

Lmao that was maybe Nepo or Dubov, and of course, they were implying cheating. But this jeet can't understand sarcasm

>>530389902
look at the rook and bishop aligning on h1
there is a reason the -4 eval is so far back

I am not very invested in the competitive chess scene so forgive my ignorance but are there any plays that gukesh has made that justify the cheating accusations? Like moves that are extraordinary even for a grandmaster coming out of a bad performance in the opening etc.

>>530416137
i think its too hard to point at specific moves as proof of cheating when youre talking about GMs, especially when theyre top 10-20 in the world
numerous other top gms think hes cheating though and hes terrible in faster time formats (very common sign of cheaters)
theres also his performance at chennai olympiad which is known to have been full of cheaters

cool position dynamic here https://lichess.org/training/CUMiP
I was laughing on my own at
>CUMiP
>2500 black with closed account
>doesn't play bc6
for a good 5 minutes, then after i looked at the position again i saw white's response.

>>530416137
The crux of nepo's accusation was that he had insanely low average centipawn loss in the second half of the candidates IIRC it was 7cpl over seven games against the best in the in the world and he was never worse not even for one move
Grischuk argued it was impossible to be that good at classical and that bad at blitz without something fishy going on
Then of course there is the deserved "racism" against indians, they are a nation of scammers who think cheating is a sign of intelligence and they are notorious for cheating at online chess at every level
It's worth noting that india is heavily investing in chess while no other country besides maybe uzbekistan gives a shit, so it's not inconceivable that they would help their top players cheat, it's not that easy to cheat at top level otb tournaments and you would need outside help to do it, although the risk/reward in terms of national reputation is dubious imo

>>530417732
>although the risk/reward in terms of national reputation is dubious imo
not when people behind the scenes are working to prevent any mention of it. with all the cheating accusations being thrown around (in the professional scene not here) why is no one mentioning indians? why does fide go out of their way to pander to them on social media constantly? why does che$$com have tania on every fucking broadcast?
try finding info about cheating at that chennai olympiad now too - it wasnt even indians being the known cheaters (armenia) but it happened in india and casts suspicion on the event so poof all discussion disappears

I don't think there is that many cheaters in online chess. When I lose it's always because I was a retard, and never because of the other player playing perfect. Even when I thought the opponent played perfect, in post game analysis it turns out they didn't

>>530417732
>Grischuk argued it was impossible to be that good at classical and that bad at blitz
That imo is a very good point desu. I understand blitz not being your thing, but he should be at least competitive.
But the guy is playing like an IM, I really don't understand how is that even possible.
He has the opening theory, he more than likely already has a good idea of the plans, he knows his endgames, he should have all he needs to at least put up good fights. But look at that game against Wesley So, he's playing at least 400 points lower than his classical strength. If I would have to play an indian online who is 400 points lower rated in blitz, I would just abort and think he's cheating

>>530425339
Don't play rematch after you win, you'll avoid of lot of cheaters this way

>>530427280
Oh yeah, I never accept a rematch. I don't like going in the game with my opponent knowing that I like to attack really hard

>>530425339

sorry the black queen obviously

>>530429023

>>530429445
it was an anon game,are you seriously singling out the only time in the entire game he didn't play the top engine move as proof he didn't cheat?
Look at the time usage too, yes there is a very remote chance I run into a GM playing 5+0 anon for some weird reason but it's infinitely more likely he was just a cheater, this kind of attitude is a big part of the problem and why scum like lordbentham gets away with it

>>530429184

ohhhh you mean chess rating haha
yeah idk...

>>530429184
None of the young talent shows any indication of playing exclusively in open events or the skill to be completely dominant in women's events so it's anybody's guess.
The incentive isn't there when a woman could remain a strong IM/weak GM and collect a substantial paycheck playing exclusively women's events.

>>530430707

That must be his rating from 30 years ago; he's probably 1100 now

>>530367927
Puzzles are overrated unless you study them. Just blitzing out puzzles doesn't tell you how to reach good positions that tactics flow from easily. Like I can solve puzzles way above my level because the board is set up that way. Whereas on my own I'm just clumsily fucking around move by move and leave myself with way fewer tactics.

>>530411742
They probably play f4, b5, or ke6 to "take the opposition"

>>530465248
he let it slip he plays in u1700uscf tournaments that doesn't mean he's anywhere near 1700 though it's just the upper limit or what he could be
he stopped doing it because he would be laughed but back in the day sometimes he would try to larp as a strong player discussing openings in detail and every single time without fail he outed himself as a complete retard saying nonsense, like he would say "you dumb kids play x variation but should y variation instead" and x and y wouldn't even arise from the same position and depended on the opponent playing different moves, or he gave concrete lines confidently that were straight up losing, all kinds of shit like that
I'd be surprised if he's even 1500

Whenever there is an obsure tactic on the board that will give gukesh the advantage, immediately his face perks up and comes alive, eyes darting around the board anxiously trying find the tactic after he got a secret signal from his handlers. That's why his excuse is that he treats every position like a puzzle.

>>530485475
There's no way a signal at important points would be enough to let him crush magnus in rapid if he wasn't legitimately super strong. I'm not sure, but I'd guess at least 2750 would be required.
If the signal gives a little detail (say 2 to 4 bits of information) then it would push the required rating down a lot, maybe below 2700

>>530486572
watch interviews with grandmasters, they say that just a hint or two would make them win the game easily

>>530486572
dude these are people that can visualize 20 move endgames correctly in like one (1) minute, literally all they need is a hint at the right time and they won't let the advantage slip

I love her so much. I wish she would play more tournaments

>>530519064
We only need top three which should be pretty much guaranteed. But imo we will most likely take first, one strong player isn't enough to win (especially since we will probably be able to break his streak)

>>530523729
I'm praying you're right

>>530521483
How much do you love her?

>>530523918
>>530524043
Are you just trying to bump the thread with extremely low-effort posts?

>>530524786
No, why are you obsessed with the thread, just let it be.

>>530524043
That’s a good question. I cannot truly love her as I don’t know her personally. But also I believe you can tell a lot from a person’s eyes even in pictures and she seems to me to have a lot of insight and understanding beyond chess. But from what I can glean from her chess, I can definitely tell she has a strong will, one only needs to look at her Olympiad games to tell that.

All of this I find attractive. But most importantly, I’m still trying to figure out how she can have such a petite and borderline frail upper body yet still be packing so much heat downstairs.

>>530525512
Thank you for your thoughtful answer, you truly do love her so much it's unreal

Dude needs to stop obsessing over a shitty chess thread on 4chan, even if I was bumping the thread who cares

>>530526448
She handmakes them. She is into art, fashion, and design, as well as music, singing, and chess. She is a pure natural all-round talent from the days of Morphy before the autists took over everything.

My only problem with her currently is she has literally not played a man in 2025, only women’s tournaments. She’s good enough to play Opens and she only needs 70 Elo to gain IM.

>>530526985
I hope she makes it to IM that'd be cool.

>>530527313
Damn now I think you are just bumping the thread. I think it’s a matter of when not if she makes IM, she already has all three norms and she’s only 18. Just a question of once she gets it if she wants to go for GM. That I really doubt

>>530527647
If chess wasn't so sexist I bet she'd go for GM.
(bump)

>>530528170
It’s not really sexism, it just seems like she has genuine other interests. It’s tough to compete when you’re not an autist that has been whip-beaten to learn chess since 4 years old. And that’s why I root for her, because she’s a natural talent without having to do all that intense study.

And not to mention she has the best natural most well-rounded ass this side of the Ural Mountains.

>>530529446
Thats amazing, exquisite taste.

>>530529446

>>530529446
why didn't you post about her during the team wcs? also, why'd you drop the nametag?

>>530531637
What nametag?

>>530531637
I did actually post her game 100+ move against Eline but no one seemed to care. I’ll guess I’ll post it again. The great irony being Eline’s team was named Knight Dance and Alua’s “ROOK”ies. Very funny.

>>530531858
nta but unless we have two anons obsessed with her you use to put "aluasimp" in the name field

>>530531880
I respect her perseverance but I'd feel bad playing on in a drawn position like that. But I'm just a faggot on the internet so what do I know

>>530532118
there’s at least two for sure, I know the Italian posted her once on an /sp/ thread he started. I think there’s three all told.

>>530532118
We've started a cult.

>>530532481
I had the same thought as you but it was a team event and they were the last boards playing, and a draw for Alua would be an L for her team but a win would’ve been an overall round win for her team. She had no other choice. You have to at least try in that scenario.

Those are Rapid ratings she is 2336 Classical at the moment. Like I said she needs to play an Open tournament against stable rated men to gain rating. Year to date she has mainly played similarly underrated Kazakh/Central Asian girls, which are not easy pickings to say the least. She has been slacking this year, I assume she has been busy being hot, but she is easily a 2400 strength lifetime player. It’s not even a question. Let her finish college first.

Bots. Before I deleted my account I'd get random ass bot accounts with weird names. Usually like random nonwords and numbers. Shit no human uses as a username. They tend to show up during win streaks, will never speak, etc. And no matter what you do you will never beat these bots. It can be like 900 rated and effortlessly stomp you leaving you wondering what the hell just happened. Just playing unrated as a guest on other sites works better to avoid cheating and bots. I think chesscom does it to frustrate you and try to incentivize you to buy the premium and shit.

>>530559107
Thanks for posting this as a webm so I can pause it and rewind. Can't believe Krush hung the queen at the end like that, was she in time trouble or the position was screwed either way?

>>530559712
Just go to any eastern european chess club and see for yourself.

>>530559809
They were both in time trouble for the last ten moves or so

I’m pretty sure larpov is a poverty ridden euroboomer who can’t afford internet in his commiepartment who is forced to go to Internet cafes during the summer because he can’t afford AC and basically that’s why the boomerposting has increased in conjunction with the rising temps

>>530559636
>>530559816
what's the rating of the average washed up club boomer in eastern europe?
Because there is a 70something 2000fide at my club and I beat him more often than not, granted he plays only one classical tournament a year and loses rating every time so his current strength is probably much lower but that seems to fit your description of washed up with early stages dementia

>>530561814
1800-2000 legit rating (i.e. not lagging behind a massive dropoff in strength like your boomer).

>>530559636
But anon, this thread is full of washed up boomers with dementia from any eastern european country.

cool chance to play a former (almost) super gm if anyone is interested
I had a somewhat competitive game was even better for a few moves, then I got crushed in the endgame and missclicked away a piece sadly
obviously meant f6 instead of f5 but I was too embarrassed to ask for a takeback against a GM, would you have done it?it was lost anyway but I could have dragged it out longer

>>530577071
to be fair, proctor is apparently very buggy and introduces noticeable lag and everyone hates using it.

>>530540424
Dominant error looks like any of a handful of attempts to try to secure control of the back rank to deliver mate with Qg8. Maybe blindspot about c4 so instead go with idea of e5 etc. Other ideas that sort of look like they probably work without doing any detailed calculation are the main reason some easy puzzles have high ratings. For the opposite issue, some fairly hard puzzles with low ratings wind up that way because the resulting position is not clearly winning. You think 'well there's obviously this sack and discovered check to win exchange, however that looks like even material and messy so it can't be that..." people go looking for other more complicated ideas that don't work for reasons that punch a ways above the current rating of the puzzle.

Daniel was caught red handed using engine as a lazy crutch to assist him in creation of "educational" streams. He then lashed out in a variety of ways entirely iut of proportion with the accusation. He could have admitted he did it, apologized, put up the one fair play requested, and that would have been the end of it. Instead his behaviour came off to me as though he had a lot more to hide, that he felt like the walls were closing in causing him to panic. Watch that c squared interview with him during the brouhaha. You tell me that looks like an innocent man..

any good books on beating the French Defense? I hate faggots who spam that shit, I never have fun when people play 1...e6. I hate it so much I always go for the exchange variation because i'd rather accept that dead draw than randomly be on the back foot after black completely seizes the initiative and puts enormous pressure on my center in what's supposed to be a "defensive, solid" opening.
i neglected opening theory for too long because my coach despises opening theory and trained me incorrectly, i guess i'll have to bite that bullet now

Yeah it's very easy, I just found it a bit fun and aestheticall pleasing.

Why praise chesstempo? Its puzzles tend to be high quality and I think many people do find the comment section useful or at least interesting.
Sure, I won't read the comments on every problem, but when I see some particularly interesting line or I don't understand an idea in the puzzle, there's usually someone pointing it out (along with other sidelines I might have missed), and the discussion can be interesting and illuminating

>>530643970
the comparison with chesscom also brings up two huge advantages of chesstempo
-Free, unlimited tactics
-A legitimate rating system that isn't designed to psychologically manipulate the user

Oh yeah, we're GMs in this bitch.

Did Beary ever hint that he might return to youtube, or is it over?

A funny chesstempo problem https://chesstempo.com/chess-tactics/152616
It's notable because its standard rating is 950 and its blitz rating is around 2075. Even factoring in the fact that blitz mode has a time limit, that's an insane gap. And the time taken per solve is similar between the time controls in this case.

And the 2000 rated blitz players getting it wrong are *way* stronger than the 1000 rated standard players who don't overcomplicate it and calculate mating lines which don't work (and would be totally incapable of realistically attempting such calculations)

how much of an insecure bitch do you have to be to make such posts?
I bet you are barely 1800 fide telling yourself you are so much better than anyone itg other than chest when in reality there's at least half a dozen anons stronger than you

how the fuck people analyze games? i mean your knowledge is limited and it doesn't make sense to analyze something like you what's wrong, i mean i can see when i hung my queen or something but like what the fuck can i do about the rest? people say not to use the engine but idk whats wrong with my play and therefore i use the fucking bastard to "understand" aren't there some guidelines or things to follow to analyze ones games? explain that shit like i was 5

>>530682830
Your post-game analysis is just going over your game a second time but with the benefit of hindsight.
Analysis didn't make a whole lot of sense to me either until I started taking notes.
If you aren't spitting out opening theory or making obvious captures/recaptures, make a note of what you are thinking. If you see an unusual move from your opponent, write it down. If you have multiple candidate moves, write down the pros/cons of the candidates and why you decided on the move you played. If the game starts to shift your way or to the opponent, make a note of at what move you began to feel this way. If you hung a piece, write it down. If your opponent found a defense to a tactic you set up, write it down.
What does this move do?
What did I miss?
Where is the threat?
Why did my position feel uncomfortable?
And so on.

Don't worry about getting everything right. The goal is to get you thinking about the things you are learning from books, coaches, and/or engines. Your analysis will evolve along with your chess play and knowledge.

>>530685643
do you write notes during the game as well or do you just mean in analysis?

>>530680264
nothing wrong with that I've insulted people who post gothamjew or e-whores myself
as I said the problem is the janny thinks super GM and world champions are ecelebs too

>>530687915
both
This is for analyzing long time control games, obviously. Short time controls I don't bother with notes or any analysis beyond simple blunder checks.

looks like everything other than ours had a bunch of games
they fear our power

>>530716757
17B is deader than ours, only had one game played

>>530711529
almost like reddit in the 4chan v reddit team battle

When will the liga games be more competitive?

best robbari. that was peak /chess/ IMO.

>>530724428
if reddit rolled up seriously we'd get stomped but I wouldn't mind redoing this against a smaller chess sub if there is one

>>530724821
There was other chess subs besides reddit and 4chan?

>>530724821
it depends how you look at it yes their top players are better than ours by a lot they even have some im and gm posting but for every titled player they have thousands of 3digit tards and for every 3 digit tard they now have one or two indiands that don't even play chess at all, the average rating of /chess/ is way way waaaay higher than the average rating of r/chess
