>>530741960
thanks I knew of marshal obviously but not what he looked like
funny ad too, smoking while playing chess is indeed very comfy I miss it a bit now that I quit

>>530744420
I don't miss tournament chess (too stressful), but I do miss weekly hangouts at the pub, playing speed chess with chain smoking masters, listening to Psychedelic Furs and Violent Femmes on repeat.

>>530744420
just replace it with sipping energy drinks
For me, nothing beats the refreshing taste and zip of Red Bull. Its precisely designed balance of caffeine and b vitamins gives me the wings I need to fly through my chess sessions and without any jitters! Whether it's the deep concentration needed for classical time controls or the rapid intuition of blitz, Red Bull ensures I'm performing at my absolute best. And the wide variety of flavors means I can pick whatever I'm in the mood for.

>>530750835
none of that ever happened larpov. Log off the computer and lose some weight

>>530756838
Thats pretty good

>>530750835
>I don't miss tournament chess (too stressful),
Yeah, that makes sense. I always find it funny how many NMs barely reach 2200 and then stop playing tournament chess forever shortly thereafter.

i fucking hate how other generals put chess somehwere in their op and I accidentally click them thinking it's this thread.

im too slowbrained for this...

>>530782416
I wonder how many titled players we'll get in this one. Maybe a nice opportunity for flagging masters

>>530783856
flagging is immoral

>>530784748

I think I figured out the secret to 5 minute for a 3 minute player.
You play the opening and middle game almost like a 3-min game, and then save the extra ~2 minutes to convert the endgame/prosecute the attack correctly instead of flagging the opponent from a better/equal endgame (as usual in 3 min)

>>530782416
>12 old russian CM
this one isn't gonna be such easy pickings if he shows up, that team also has other titled players
the fact that there are already 9 non-weavers makes me hope we will get a lot of games finally

>my brain at 4 AM after a 6 hour boolet binge when I have work tomorrow

>>530795140
>2450 blitz, 2900 bullet
This is not the kind of CM I was hoping to face in the liga, he's going to berserk and win every game for a huge streak.

>>530798584
He might not play for his team because he also plays for another team called "SergeyVoron". He played for them yesterday: https://lichess.org/tournament/muRi3kaU

I hope he does play though. We can't run away from titled players. The more promotions we get, the more we'll face anyway. VeganMaster Oberslop was a huge letdown.

I'm playing some 3+0 for the first time in ages as practice for sunday and holy shit this is degenerate, call me a flaglet, slowbrain etc all you want, this is bullet pretending to be chess
even 2+1 feels more dignified and that's openly called bullet

>>530807485
3+0 is definitely adjacent to bullet, imo. Even GMs routinely end their 3+0 games with absurd time scrambles with both sides making stupid blunders.

why does bundesliga have such degenerate timecontrols

>>530807860
I think I have really bad reaction times or maybe it's just lack of practice, even when playing my memorized openings or when I already have a piece selected hovering a square I take around half a second to move, I see some of my opponents making some moves in a tenth of a second and that's just impossible for me so I'm always at a disadvantage in time scrambles

humanbros... we got btfo
has any of you ever played one of these odds bots? for me, it felt like banging my head against a brickwall, very very frustrating. especially in long time controls when I was tryharding and it just effortlessly tangled me up and killed me with instant moves.

>>530855214
I lost to leela queenodds once in a 3+2 game and never wished to try such a thing again, too humiliating

Gentlemen, for the bingoleague on sunday, I have a concern. I think this happened last sunday where basically I was getting matched with people while other weavers werent, for example pastabro (1700) never got paired but I got paired with a 1700 and a 1900 twice. Basically felt like I was stealing matches and underperforming, and this will be even more of an issue with 3+0 because I am slowbrained retard. Basically, should I still join or sit it out to avoid stealing matches from my more capable friends? I think in 3+2 and 5+0 I can atleast pretend and maybe sneak in some wins but in terms of 3+0 I am dead weight

>>530872551
Train on anon queue, that's what I'll do... there is no other way

>>530872551
I'm sitting out on 3+0 since I also have slowbrain.
I noticed the thing about pairings when spectating the last league. When the top players left, the remaining players suddenly got matches, and were then thrashed by that Turkish fellow.

>>530872551
there are 14 players in the tournament already and only 2 are weavers,even if only half of them shows up getting matches this time shouldn't be a problem
More importantly don't get self conscious about your skill level or performance first of all it's meant to be a fun group activity and second only the top performers get counted for the scores so individual performances don't matter that much anyway
eventually as we to higher leagues ( and the novelty wears off) I already know the issue will be not having enough players not too many, so let's be clear anyone that joins these tournaments is doing the entire team a favor no matter his rating or his score

>>530874213
>that Turkish fellow.
not me, I spanked his monkey ass
https://lichess.org/r4Rx9lhQhZT2

In any case I will hover around and see who shows up and if for some reason we are light I will join in but if theres a good amount of people I will likely not interfere (in 3+0)

>>530872551
I thought maybe some of the players who joined weren't actually present when they had a chance to get paired later. If they closed the lichess tab then they wouldn't get paired
Also iirc you had good results against berserking players underestimating you

>>530874689
yeah, this is the correct answer. Anyone willing to play is helping the team, worrying about performance or matchmaking technicalities is not necessary
We just need to maintain our "fighting spirit" (to quote /tg/)

>>530874689
>>530875896
>>530876949
thank you friends, you have changed my perspective on the dynamics of the bingoleague. I will play every sunday, thursdays i cannot on account of the wagecage

just won 5 games straight against average 1771 opposition (best player was 1900 and i outplayed him convincingly) to get to 1700 blitz :DDD

factoring the prior loss it was a 2053 performance, the power of coffee :D

The younger pookie, Alice Lee, was eliminated from the World Cup.
The elder pookie, Carissa Yip, will be playing fem-Pragg tomorrow.
This will be her first tough match of the tournament.
She will need to bring her A-game to flush this one.

>>530895353
>The elder pookie, Carissa Yip, will be playing fem-Pragg tomorrow.
Ooooh, that's gonna be a match to watch.
Thanks for these reports by the way, cause I almost never check out the women's world cup.

I miss when chess players used to actually have class and dignity

The funny thing is, I enjoy video games myself, but seeing an elite player like Fabi in that stupid e-sports gamer getup, it just makes me sick.

I blame Plaguenus for all of this.

>>530874213
>When the top players left, the remaining players suddenly got matches, and were then thrashed by that Turkish fellow.
he was sitting on pause most of the time, probably dodging them

>>530905597
We're going to win!

i finally managed to flag my opponent in a losing position in a 10+0 game. I am learning.

I wanted to flag this 2100... then I checkmated him

>I miss when chess players used to actually have class and dignity
If you read about Morphy and his opponents' shenanigans then you' d know this was never the case.

>>530910115
Nice, you really destroyed him. It's funny that ke2 at the end is basically equal, but he walked into mate without thinking

>>530891826
That was pretty entertaining, how his rook on f7 was stuck and couldn't recapture anything. Just torture.
I was surprised you didn't play the sac on g6 but it was still a nice game

Someone send this >>530884607 to alireza

>>530910653

I am actually an expert on Paul Morphy but thank you for the suggestion.

Yes, there were some shenanigans, but by class and dignity, I am referring to their manner of dress.

The integrity of our game has been significantly degraded by its association with e-sports and pop culture. Whereas before we had such towering intellectual figures such as Capablanca and Fischer, we are now shamed by the likes of Levy and the Botez sisters.

Take Blackburne for example. While he may not have had much “class”, he at least dressed like he did. If he ever caught a fellow chess master wearing an e-gamer kit like Fabi and his Team Liquid shirt, he undoubtedly would have done the same to him as was done to Steinitz.

>>530961034
They cheat. They’re all cheating

>>530961034
Why even play anon pool? Like you said, its either very weak players or cheaters

>>530962049
some do sure but I don't see why there would be that many more cheaters in 3+0 than 3+2 or 5+0 if anything I would expect the opposite, none of the games I lost felt suspicious at all
>>530962327
I care about meaningless online points to a degree that borders mental illness, for example I have like a dozen .scam accounts most of them underrated because I like to start low and smurf my way back to my real rating but still everytime I lose a rated game in one of them I get tilted hard
I know it doesn't make sense rationally but I can't help it, if I lose an anon game I don't care at all

also holy shit these arenas are a test of character, i am 1/6, lost against 1100s

>>530962049
is this more rampant in the arenas actually?
because players are much stronger than they are in the rated pool, where they are playing seriously because its rated
the difference between a 2000 and a 1500 here is just a number istg wtf
i am 1700 blitz and i had a fucking 1200 berserk on me if i remember correctly

>>530968747
yes arenas definitely have a cheating problem, it's a mix of not being able to abort,slightly more incentive to cheat and getting matched with over performing low rated players

>>530968553
Arenas are tough, yeah. My biggest surprise was that I could barely win games against 2200+ players in blitz when I had no problem with that in the normal pool. 'Zerkinging 18-1900s was always great fun though. The 10 0 'zerk is basically automatic against anyone more than a 100 points weaker.

Sure, not every game from the 19th century has educational value, but some of those games are foundational, though. To use your example, we don't leap right into teaching grade schoolers modern chemistry but instead start them off with simpler and older concepts of atoms and chemical reactions and build from there.

everything surrounding piece development in the opening (eg. playing tactics that gain tempo), avoiding pawn weaknesses, trading off the opponent's potentially dangerous pieces

these are the ones that i am trying to pay attention to, underrated 1750 liblitz

>>531043269
>everything surrounding piece development in the opening (eg. playing tactics that gain tempo), avoiding pawn weaknesses, trading off the opponent's potentially dangerous pieces
2150-2200

>>531016945
>>531043269
Depends on time control the longer it is the more you need to actively consider positional elements relative to your level,in classical even a 1500 FIDE would be well served think about that stuff but I don't think many untitled players are sitting there in 3+0 actively thinking about creating light squares weakness or whatever, of course once you have studied and internalized a concept enough you put it in practise on a intuitive level though, you want to train yourself to think about that stuff in longer games where you can afford the time and then eventually you will do it subconsciously in blitz too, at least that's my understanding of it
Simple Chess by Michael Stean is the go to /chess/ recommendation for a good short book on positional concepts

>>531044710
> I don't think many untitled players are sitting there in 3+0 actively thinking about creating light squares weakness or whatever
kek, I'd be pretty surprised if any 2200 3+0 player would fail to think about this in the relevant positions. Even in bullet you need to keep such things in mind.

Who do we want to lift the women's world cup? Id it Teodora?

>>531043269
Below 2000, I think the most important positional concepts are things like not creating holes that will cause problems for you, not unnecessarily creating backward/isolated pawns, and generally trying to prevent your opponent from putting his pieces on strong threatening squares.
As an example, you might want to play a pawn push, but see that it gives the opponent's knight a square to infiltrate your position, so you don't do it without thinking twice.
You can also generally try to avoid giving away free tempi (moving a queen to a square where the opponent can immediately attack it and improve his knight in the process is often not great)
And of course, you should be striving to optimize your pieces, improve your worst-placed piece, and provoke/exploit weaknesses if you can.

It would be funny if it didn’t have horrible implications outside of /chess/. A certain know-it-all stubbornness coming from rank amateurs.

Guys, come play in the Bundesliga, I'm too slowbrained for 3+0
It's starting in 1(one) hour!

What is the change you mentioned people are hesitant towards? Give us some construction feedback please.

If CM Spartak (2900 bullet) berserks me should I zerk back, or desperately try to beat him with 2x time and then lose anyway?

>>531079046
keep the extra time and just focus on not getting mated so you can flag him

>>531079046
Obviously you don't berserk him.

>>531079046
I’m going to berserk him just to spit in his face

>>531079046
turtle up and pray
now that I think about it if you have a few minutes to waste you could look at what he plays on the lichess analysis board, doubt you are gonna catch him playing bad lines but at least you can save a few seconds if you already prep for him

I'm worried I think we might have a rough tournament.

>>531080319
come on it's league 16, the cm will reverse gang rape us but we are still getting promoted no problem

>>531081365
Thanks feel a bit better I have anxiety issues, chugging coffee right now to prepare

>>531080319
There are so many 1500s and 1600s. The fields are ripe for the harvest.
I'll still probably lose some games due to blunders or wifi failing and tank my elo, but we should get top 3 extremely easily

>>531082028
I know you're right its just my first time in a league tournament and I don't want to let you guys down

just got this funny closed sicilian game
https://lichess.org/pdqj2v0m

>>531082338
Good game, I hate people who play the closed sicilian

I've been playing 3+0 the last few days in preparation for this as a total slowbrain, my main take away is to not get too anxious about the clock and actually think when you need to
at first I was playing every move in 1-2 seconds and making absurd blunders I would never make in 3+2 only to resign with 2 minutes on the clock, once I started taking my time I got a lot better, obviously you don't want to go down more than 30-40 second on the clock compared to your opponent but flagging isn't as omnipresent as I feared and I'd say 60-70% of games are still decided on the board,
Also never ever resign I've seen semi decently rated players blunder mate unprovoked many times, I also had several game where someone won a piece in the opening and lost anyway

for the record the accusations against seriouscheat were backed up by evidence and lichess’s excellent moderators dealt with the issue, closing his account. anyone claiming that the accusations were spurious is lying to you, newfriends.

>>531084194

blundered some dumb shit

>>531086680
literally stomped that idiots face in the entire game and then blundered and flagged because my mom drank when I was in the womb

grateful that my friends are good at chess and they are going to carry me into the next league, thank you bros

>>531086612
first game I lost a queen vs rook endgame,second game I smothered mated in the opening
this is so degenerate lmao

the liga takes too much attention, I have the tab open for 10 minutes without getting paired, then when i do i am doing something else and the game is forfeited in 15 seconds, I am not going through this shit

>>531087124
yeah this shit is annoying why is it so slow at pairing

oh cool I just smashed another idiots face the whole game and then flagged

very educational puzzle (only if you solve it manually)
https://lichess.org/training/wr6KF

TIL that when you do puzzles of your rating and not the harder ones they always feel "educational", who would have thought??

fuck this i cant play this semen slurping TC

finally some dickhead 1900 berserked me and got what he fucking deserved

what do you guys think of elrayohavuelto?
smurf or cheater?

he played both against me and czerka basically perfect games. Who knows, maybe he's just godd

>>531089670
>>531089910
I'll report once it's over but lichess doesn't ban anyone anymore
fuck 3+0 is tiring one more hours of this is gonna be rough

>>531087124
>>531087442
eventually it won't be a problem if we keep getting promoted, even today it isn't so bad imo

everyone on that beaner team is a cheater Im reporting every one

>>531089910
i just put him to sleep

>>531091737
And he hit pause like the coward he is.

>>531089670
I'm playing like trash because of no sleep, but he is incredibly strong. Maybe I would have had a chance if I warmed up in bullet before the match

i cant stand this fucking time control bros im so fucking heated right now im mad as fuck

As frustrating as it is being a flaglet, I was able to vicariously live through the performance of my friends. I will see you guys next Sunday

I don't mind 3+0 t. Never played it

I didn't need those 100 elo points for anything

Nice job! A little sus those guys with -9999 elo but were playing like magnus

Most unfortunate missing this cool tactic

>>531096915
Thanks for joining, nice tournament guys

>>531096961
Hey, that's from my game
Yeah nice one , didn't see it, too tired at that point

>>531096961
that would have been so clean

TOTAL WEAVER VICTORY
thanks to everyone who played
>>531096148
assuming the rotation is consistent next sunday should be 5+0

>>531097262
It was nice today having a lot more opponents than prior

uhoh weaverbros someone's getting suspicious

>>531101209
I wonder about the guy too. Glad to have him, though.

>>531101209
well weavers would know a lot about cheating. it will be interesting to see how many of the best performing weaver accounts are banned in a couple weeks. what happened last time.

>>531101209
Tom - tomcat
meGATOm - cat in Spanish

>>531101209
None of the under 2000s were good, I had winning positions against all of them and I am hot garbage. Tell octoqueer he sucks ass, megatom is strong. Simple as

>>531101209
All the games are rated. So if there is tomfoolery going on, lichess might catch it

>>531102407
octofag surely reported him so we'll see
>>531102159
oh nonono....

LMFAO… that’s how long it took our weaver team to get caught blatantly fucking cheating…

megatom1988 is 1300 but he beats a
>1900
>2200
>1800
>1900
>2100

>1800

All within a two hour period. What are the odds! It’s just supernatural our ability to be autistic in this general.

>>531102717
>megatom1988 is 1300
His account is new, he could just be underrated, or an alt. Lets relax a bit

>>531103197
I assume he's smurfing.

>>531103197
yeah, we don't need to bring out the pitchforks the moment a strong player has a good performance kek. Obviously he's not really 1300, but his rating will catch up to his performance

>>531102620
I believe it was meant in a positive way. He actually beat me in our first encounter.

>>531103197
Aaaaaaaaaaaand his account has been banned.

Great job weavers. Another home run in zoomer awareness.

>>531104014
I knew I should have joined the Mongolian Yak Herders instead.

>>531104014
Banned for cheating or sand bagging?

I got a message from jeff guy

>>531102717
All those players were berserking.
>>531104014
Why did I get banned?

>>531103603
You actually did a really good job in trying to hide your engine’s power level and I’m not being sarcastic about that. You mixed in lots of believable blunders and the 2100’s were really helping by going full retard.

The only huge giveaway I noticed was when you played the …d6, …c5, …e5 move-order against the English. Most baddies don’t know about it.

>>531104448
>Why did I get banned?
you tell us
>>531103603
lijannies get mad if you blatantly accuse cheaters so people just imply it instead

>>531104450
I didn't cheat...

>>531104448
>Why did I get banned?
Lichess is about to implement a "No Catmixer" rule, its over

This is one of the funnier /chess/ implosions by you dumbass zoomers and I genuinely thank you for it.

he could have been banned for smurfing/account sharing to be fair
I played him last week and he told me it was his brothers account who tried to get into chess but was really bad, that would be against the rules too

>>531104440
it's possible they got a lijanny buttbuddy to ban him for smurfing in the tournament
but also possible he got banned for cheating
I can't remember if it was a different warning on profile for cheating or if I'm thinking of chesscom

>>531104450
The only impresive game was against that 2250 rated player that was beating everyone. Overall he had a lower performance rating than me(zoombam), so not great, not terrible.
I'm really curious why he was banned for, sandbagging or cheating

>>531104882
>/chess/ implosion

Megatom here, looks like they closed my account for sandbagging, thats unfortunate. I'll make another one and rejoin the team.

>>531104448
Well, congratulations, you got yourself caught. Now what's the next step of your master plan?
>>531105018
actually that's true, it's very likely jeff would have expedited access to lijannies.

Your account must be 2 weeks old to join the weavers.

>>531105375
>looks like they closed my account for sandbagging
can you show the ban message?

Lichess doesn’t lift a finger to ban actual cheaters but if someone is underrated they go nuclear

>>531105375
uhhh could you maybe play a bunch of games and get an accurate rating before playing in the liga?
And what's your real rating, anyway? Did you study this >>531104450 opening?

>>531105635
>uhhh could you maybe play a bunch of games and get an accurate rating before playing in the liga
If that's catmixer, we've been asking him to do that for years. Not gonna happen

It’s chessystressy on an alt

>>531105551
It just says Fairplay. I'm going to appeal it and see what happens. I honestly didn't cheat so its just the discrepancy in rating that caused an issue.

>>531105867
>It’s chessystressy
Thats just a catmixer alt

>Most baddies don’t know about it.
you are under 1700uscf stop talking like you know anything you fucking clown, even the two youngest kids in my club are stronger than you and they are in fucking elementary school
I assume you have delusions because the average level in the us is really low but in europe an adult below 1600 FIDE is considered a total patzer

>don't make new accounts
>if you made sudden improvements by playing over the board or taking adderall you will be banned for sandbagging
what the fuck?

>>531105881
I found more info. Still going to appeal it.

>>531106231
It’s bullshit. That jeff guy is a janny queer who just decided to ban you because he has Reddit brain

>>531106231
tell them it was your brother's account and you didn't know it was against the rules, they should let you make another no problem, for what it's worth I don't think you are a cheater

>>531106547
Its not the end of the world. I'm just glad the ban message specifies the reason.
>>531107045
Tired of this guy >>531084194 accusing everyone of cheating with no evidence. He's so bloodthirsty to stir up commotion in the general.

>>531107482
very funny

>>531107482
lol i said someone was cheating, you told me relax they aren’t, literally the next minute they got banned by lichess. frankly i’m tired of anons like you who pretend to be retarded.

>>531104440
just hope it doesn't prevent us from being promoted we would have been first by far even without megatom points
considering how faggy and lefty lichess is, I wouldn't be surprised if they are predisposed against the heckin problematic 4chan team

>cheating

That's not cheating, though. Unless you have a definition for cheating far more broad that it actually is.

Megatom. Didn't. Cheat.

Some reddit lijanny got buttmad that his magical elo points werent high enough compared to his performance rating

>larpov was the "weavers are cheaters" spammer all along
makes sense his unwarranted ego can't handle the fact most of the thread is better than him so he has to cope like this
>>531109002
I agree he didn't cheat but I think it's correct to ban for smurfing in a rated tournament though, if I got beat by 2100 level player and lost points like he was 1400 I would be annoyed too
doesn't help that most of our team was underrated as well due to being old alts, we robbed them blind lol

>>531108841
>>531109002
I submitted my appeal, I'm honestly really taken aback by this. I really hope this doesn't mess up our team's standings in the league.

>>531109813
>>531110175
The thing I dont understand is that he didnt intentionally lose games in the public pool to keep his rating low, he just didnt spend time climbing the ladder. This seems like a gray area at worst. If being underrated is a crime then its illegal to improve

>>531110175
The appeal would go along more smoothly if you happen to be a titled player in real life. They'd probably want you to make a new account, though.

>>531107482
hope you don't mind me sharing a "private conversation" but I think it helps your case that you said this already a week ago and more importantly I want to nip this in the bud before that lunatic starts spamming weavers are cheaters 16 hours a day like in the summer of 2023

>>531111303
>Get to 2000 in a good week
He's at least 150 points higher rated than that
>my brother played on my account
ngl this sounds like "the dog ate my homework" excuse

>>531110461
this combined with the fact that it happened immediately at the end of the tourney makes me think the liga organiser either is a janny or has one he can ask for shit

>>531114786

>>531117605
all the games I sent him are 99% with 4-5 cpl, one would think an FM should have too much respect for the game not to ban him but watch him break my balls for having 2 accounts and do nothing about the obvious cheating
hope I was polite and asskissy enough because it's hard not to let my deep contempt for lichess seep through, my original report about him was so passive aggressive there is a real chance they didn't ban him out of spite

I beggeth thee take under careful consideration the curious case of Lorde Bentham. 80 rapid games hath pass by us since his last defeat, found throughout his archive you shall discover multitudinal examples henceforth by which 99% accuracy doth occured in conjunction with no more than the petty cost of 5 centipawn.

This is important for my ego.

>>531122964
Dinkyduck right?

It was me. My brother has a disability so I try to have him over on the weekends when I can. I made him an account thinking it'd be fun for him to play chess, but he was really bad and gave up pretty quick. After he left, the account was still logged in and I didn't think it was a big deal to play on it and get the rating up. I would even take pictures and send them to him saying dumb stuff like "look how well you're doing!" Even today after the tournament I sent him a pic to show him.

Chess doesn't have a cheating problem, it has a non-white problem

>>531136464
Bunde mods should be put on notice that a certain chess team, that shall not be named, has an incredibly long history of cheating dating right up to the present, of which there has been zero accountability for. imagine some innocent 9-year-old somewhere in the world having to lose points because some manlet here choose to cheat. nobody should be getting self righteous if they support cheaters.

whoever it was (wasn’t me) who came up with the WAC meme is a genius who called all this shit

sure thing, just make sure to submit proof to the lijannies and also post it here while you're at it because no one has ever seen a single bit of it

are we really back to some retard spamming about weavers cheaters? hopefully it's gonna be a little less psychotic than after ThymeKnight.

Got back to playing after some months; my best rating was ≈510. I want to reach 1000 by the end of the year. Is this achievable? Any good guide?

Hell yeah. Play a lot, analyze your games and watch chess on youtube instead of something else. That should do it.

I'm on the mission to expose all the cheaters in the Weavers team. Wish me luck.

for new friends pic related is the guy spamming "weavers are cheaters" and making shit up about the team having some supposed long history of cheating when only one guy got banned for cheating around 2 years ago and that's it, you can see it's the same posting style as
>>531104014
>>531102717
no one in the history of /chess/ ever asked about the safety of philly tournaments or anything like that let alone "constantly" as he claims, you can search any combination of relevant keywords in the tg archive if you don't believe me,https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/text/philly%20tournaments/ I tried this is and the only chess related results are him larping, in hindsight those posts are even more pathetic knowing he's u1700 uscf LMAO
That faggot is completely detached from reality and/or a pathological liar, if it's anything like 2 years ago he will spam such lies obsessively for the next week or so just ignore him

whats the point when he didnt even get banned for cheating? it was for sandbagging

>>531167814
Not sure what you were expecting. All jannies everywhere are cum-guzzling retards. The only reason they do all that work for free is because it strokes their egos to wield authority over others. Probably gave him a stiffy to respond to your whole essay with "fuck off don't bother me".

Does chess bring value to your life? Without causing immense frustration? I`ve been playing for six months now (honestly longer since I played to a 1000 during covid and then quit) and I have been stuck at 850-900 for a month now. Do I just quit at this point?

>>531175853
>Does chess bring value to your life? Without causing immense frustration?
no, but i dont have anything better to do

>they don't realize all the years of fuckery itt from catmixer to chest being driven insane etc. was engineered by the shillzi fag as revenge for the doxing
Weavers lost. Dormin won.

Speaking of cheating, is that chess youtuber who switched to lichess after getting multiple accounts banned from chess.com still active?
Would be further proof that lichess doesn't give a shit about fairplay unless you upset one of their inner circle.

>>531176162
>they don't realize all the years of fuckery itt from catmixer to chest being driven insane etc. was engineered by the shillzi fag as revenge for the doxing

I haven't noticed anyone who thinks this honestly but considering he unironically couldn't understand that just because it's sunny where he lives it doesn't mean it's sunny everywhere in the world and had a melty about this when it was pointed out it would track with his mental deficiencies if he thought everyone is american because he is, legit toddler brain shit

How training wrong can kill your motivation

It is always just reflected in your elo gain isn't it?
You can do as many puzzles as you want but if you don't have the heart to perform you will never perform.

>>531191541
why should i watch the video of some irrelevant youtube shitter?

megatom1988 is catmixer obviously. I thought we weren't gonna allow him in tournaments.

>>531193182
Is catmixer a Turk?

SWEET CAROLINE
DU DU DU

>>531193289
no

>>531193182
Yes, obviously. He joined the team with that account just days ago. Other than not allowing any account that's less than 1 year old into the team, I don't know what to do to keep him out. Even then he might have some older alts
But as long as everything is rated, he will hopefully continue to get banned

>>531195428
it doesn't matter that you share your disapproval of him here, lichess mods are not reading it.
The team will get banned from these arenas because of him

>>531196182
He's not allowed to play in any more Bundesliga matches on that account. I'm also allowing him some time to appeal his ban, if he doesn't get his account back in a few days he's getting kicked from the team. So unless he has another alt in the team, hopefully the Liga matches wont be affected from now on. They already advanced us to the next group, we weren't penalized

>>531196529
Could the lichess mods assist the team leaders in identifying alt accounts, or is that a pipe dream?

>>531198261
Pipe dream, they barely do their normal job

a ... funny game where you can see a retard try to pressure brainlessly losing two tempos to black's king, to then miss the winning tactic due to tunnel visioning on the original plan and then not getting the king close to the passed pawn because of brain damage.
>"hey you know the king is a piece and it can capture things right?"
>*kc2*
Really a cautionary tale against being a complete fucking retard.

They're not going to unban me. What should I do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG_KfANMElQ
I randomly stumbled into this interview of a gm who works on leelaodds bots, I'm only half way through but it's so crazy how good they are
he said the break even point for human in 3+2 against the QUEENodds one is 2400 FIDE and that its liblitz rating would be 2700 while queenforknight would be 3000liblitz, knightodds is already much stronger than any human in blitz and those things are still improving quickly

>>531203858
stop cheating?

>>531203858
hit the griddy

>>531203858
I don't know if it's a great idea to break the lichess rules and create an alt-account in order to evade the ban and participate in the liga after jeff already complained about you.
You might have to sit out the liga, but perhaps other anons would disagree

>>531203858
play with your actual account?

>>531203919
>it's crazy how bad humans suck
grim
when they teach engines to spot ideas and direct a human to make mistakes toward giving the engine slight positional advantages the divide will be insurmountable

>>531203858
assuming you are turkish from the team you were in you should have dynamic IP, so as long as you turn your modem off and use a different browser I don't think they would be able to tell it's you automatically if you make a new account with a new mail, I'm not a tech guy tough so I could be totally wrong on this maybe someone else who knows better can chime in, I'd wait a few days before doing that anyway
could you post a pic of the appeal and their reply? both out of curiosity and to confirm to everyone it wasn't about cheating, in the same vein posting some easy proof that you are turkish(or whatever your nationality is) would put the people who suspect you of being catmixer at ease, it would be as easy as posting a timestamped pic of some household items with turkish writing on it

>>531205882
*off and on
one day I will learn to reread what I wrote before posting instead of after

>>531203858
Just make another account, get to 2000 blitz, wait two weeks, and then rejoin the team?

>>531212712
That's a pretty good solution.
Ultimately, either he gets banned for cheating, or the jannies decide he's not suspicious and we have a monster player for the liga.

>>531148462
Yes, we’ve been down this road before. You kids claim that an account isn’t cheating and then the account gets banned by lichess moderators. Unless you’re paranoid enough to think I’m a lichess moderator that’s two totally different sources coming to the same conclusion simultaneously.

It’s always a supposedly good reason why somebody who got accused of cheating then had their account banned. Such coincidences!

You kids have this nonstop tendency to do wrong, get caught and then rationalize for hours about how getting caught was a sign of innocence. The attitude will be laughed at hysterically if you ever bring it into an actual chess tournament.

>>531219664
>>It’s always a supposedly good reason why
Who exactly are you accusing of cheating? The "weavers are cheaters" is too vague of a statement, for the record please say names so we can see if you happen to be right

>>531177591
Yes, that’s the point we are reaching.
>anyone who disagrees with me is the same person
>and we doxxed him and we know who he is!
>but uh there’s this other guy…
>and he’s the same person too!
At first I thought it was just the typical zoomers pretending it’s still the ‘00s and they’re hacking the mainframe but more and more it seems like genuine fucking paranoia.

>catmixer gets banned from bundesliga
>suddenly Larpov appears and has a meltdown

before that:
>catmixer got booted from the weavers team
>immediately Karla makes an appearance
>shanxi wall retard appears too

yeah, totally normal and not at all suspicious

I don't really like the host but this was a good interview.

>>531220716

>>531220716
larpov has been really active and even bitchier than usual for the last couple weeks long before megatom was banned he probably lost his job at mcdonalds or something, he simply switched from crying about imaginary zoomers to crying about imaginary cheaters now

>>531223120
schizos can't into brevity
they always gotta drop a meandering essay

>>531224594
this has happened before with someone trying to sabotage the tournaments with constant cheater shitposting
now im wondering if it was him then too

>>531224594
He would post every 3 minutes if he could it just takes him 10-12 hours to get past the captcha. Which also explains why he randomly replies to shit halfway up the thread

>>531224594
>larpov has been really active and even bitchier than usual for the last couple weeks long before megatom was banned
Yes, he became active ever since catmixer and all his alts got kicked from the weavers. The point is a lot of these "local celebrities" appear only at very suspect moments.

>>530734504 (OP)
Can you anons give me some advice? I have been stuck on 800 to 900 elo for 90 days now, despite having 1700 on puzzles and doing chess for 8 to 10 hours weekly. Should I just accept that I am a retard, and do something else that has a better ratio between effort and results?

>>531227136
>having 1700 on puzzles
on which site?
Also what exactly do you mean by "doing chess 10 hours a day"?
The most likely scenario is bad training methods and inability to focus on what you really need to improve. I think everyone can get to around 1800

>>531227136
learn some gambits

>>531227136
stop putting your pieces where they can be taken

>>531228242
Nta, isn't that risky for beginners? I guess the idea is to accelerate the new players tactic finding skills through sharp positions

>>531227136
play rapid or longer, analyze every game you play, do puzzles everyday trying to calculate to the end before moving not just guessing, learn basic endgame stuff like how to mate with queen or rook vs lone king, and basic king and pawn stuff mainly opposition I think this stuff is on lichess if not I'm sure you can find a million youtube videos about it or read the first couple chapters of silman's endgame course
if you are not familiar with them already google "opening principles" and try to stick with them
don't bother with opening theory yet
beginner level games mostly boil down to not blundering as much as your opponents and punishing their blunders, puzzles help with this but during the game try to be aware of what is attacking what at all times, when your opponent makes a move consider what he could be threatening and what he might have stopped defending
lichess has a lot of useful stuff under practice, as for youtubers john bartolomew "chess foundamentals" play list is good, the chesskids channel is good for beginner if you can endure the cringe, chess books aren't the easiest to get into but "play winning chess" is a good entry level one(you can pirate it on anasarchive like most non-obsucure chess books)
for puzzles lichess is fine, chesstempo is better and pirating puzzle book is best, "1001 Chess Exercises for Beginners" is a good starting point again you can find it on the internet quite easily

>>531227136
you have to actively think about what you want to improve and work on that. you can get better by just playing and spamming puzzles, but it will be slow and you'll hit plateaus.

take a look at how you're losing games and write them down, then work on improving them one by one. did you lose on time because you couldn't do a queen+king checkmate fast enough? did you lose because you have no idea what to do in the endgame? did you lose because you blundered a piece because you didn't pay attention? did you lose because you didn't know a particular tactic? did you lose because you missed a common mating pattern? every time you lose, write down the reasons in a list and when you want to seriously train, pick something from the list and work on it.

>>531227136
Pic related is gonna help you a lot. See how masters play the game, also do tactics with this reasoning in mind:
>see tactic
>think, don't move any piece
>analyze the resulting position

I recommend Chess Tactics for Students by Bain.

>>531227136
i am not a "strong" chess player, 1900 lirapid and 2400 lipuzzles (though tonight i will finally turn the rated boolean to true and go up quite a bit), but I can't recommend puzzle storm enough to lower rated players, if your brain doesn't "hint" you that the position has a tactic in it then puzzle storm and conventional puzzles will teach it to you, puzzle storm specifically boosts your chess autism and you are much more willing to calculate lines (so you don't get into forceful losing lines, though at your level you are probably blundering pawns and shit)

>>531228908
yeah you'll get used to sharp tactical positions and get exposed to different tactical motifs. you'll end up going up against better opponents more quickly too

>>531229723
When I started in my club a coach taught me that tactics are important, he taught me the Italian opening, and told me how to attack and showed certain patterns with pieces, as well as games and endgames and mates in 2 (my favorites)... the first game he ever showed me was the opera game and then the mate in 2 by Morphy... how can one not fall in love with chess by starting with this? I think Esserman is right when he says that Morphy's games teach a lot of shit, not only about attack but about taking advantage and positional understanding

Fuck off catmixer

>catmixer was not banned by lichess
>his blitz rating progression is jagged
is this schizophrenia?

Bros I think I have a stalker. I usually play in a variant on lichess, and it seems like every time I check the game spectators there is always the same guy there, sometimes with others, sometimes alone. I play in the upper level of this variant (2000+) and usually against players better than me, and the guy is 2300, so it may not seem that weird. But he even watches games I play against 1900 level players. You might think he’s scouting me out but we’ve never played a single match. What does he mean by this?

>>531260107

The first day of the second game of the 66th Oi title match is being played, between Sota Fujii (sente, the Oi title holder) and Takuya Nagase. The time control is 8 hours over two days, and the match is a best of 7 (Fujii leads 1-0).
The opening was bishop exchange reclining silver. Instead of the usual waiting moves and piece shuffling, Fujii started an early attack with 37. P-45. This seems to have lead to a position Nagase prepared for, as he's only used 21 minutes total, with his longest think only being 4 minutes.

>>531324848
The way Pookie got knocked out was just awful. She didn't try in classical, she threw 2 winning positions in 15 min rapid and then completely collapsed in 10 min rapid but the worst part is that she played like such a pussy. Ngl, she sort of deserved to lose.

You will never be a Grand Master. You have no GM norms, you have no FIDE rating, you have no tournament wins. You are an online player twisted by ego and gambits into a crude mockery of chess’s perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your Elo behind closed doors.
Arbiters are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed arbiters to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even online players who “join tournaments” look uncanny and unnatural to an arbiter. Your opening choice is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a cheap tournament win, you'll just lose twice as hard the next round the second your opponent a whiff of your disgusting, hope chess play.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with the chess.com logo, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a shitter is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is an online profile that is unmistakably bad at chess.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

enough about those losers anyway

>>531360339
lmao pls someone edit Ivanchuk with a maga hat

>>531224594
Larpov becomes active when the team starts having fun by playing arenas, mongolian vs vietnamese team battles and bundesliga. He hates that he can't participate so he tries to ruin the fun for everyone else.

>>531361762
why doesn't he participate

>>531361762
this makes a lot of sense actually
>>531363758
he likes to pretend to be better than everyone here if he showed up and got btfo by the big guys in the team he would have to get back to reality

>>531293179
but at least it was about chess? Now it looks like it's being raided

>>531364897
I’m a shitter and I will fucking smoke larpovs fat retarded ass

>>531368441
>fat
funny you should bring up fat because whenever someone gets called fat or a manlet in here boy do the fucking fee-fee’s flow

chess is dominated by lanklets. i am proud to further the domination

still waiting for a decent sub 5 foot player to appear, hasn’t happened once in a non-physical game…

>>531368813
The projection and complete absence of self awareness is unreal

>>531364897
>big guys in the team

well by big guys do you mean sub-2000 lichess?

because the only time anyone has actually hopped onto lichess to play me it was over on sp. there was a Czech anon who was about 1850 and a Russian who was 1900

Second I show up it’s “you should have to play against our best players”. I said well you claimed you could personally stomp me…

they said I have to go to tg if I want to play the true big dogs

that was like 7 years ago. Here we are on vg.

I offered to 10/0 anyone in bullet. I was told bullet doesn’t count it has to be rapid to which I responded “so you can cheat? No thanks we’re doing bullet”

Challenge stands. I remember both of their accounts. Both are still sub-2000 with 10k+ games

Willing to play anyone who isn’t sub 1800. Provided it’s bullet so you can’t cheat

>>531369668
>le the time on sp years ago I challenged someone
I've seen you disappear after being challenged dozens of times
play me NOW bitch, drop a challenge, I'm not even top 20 in the team and it's 11pm here, there is 0 doubt in my mind I will eat you alive
you get white and choose the time control

>>531369668
I’m 1600 bullet and I will tear your head off, send challenge immediately

Also worth noting you kids are still doing the classic
>look at these Reddit links
>did you guys see on Reddit…
Screenshots and all.

>>531370354
>challenge still stands
>two people tell you to drop a challenge
>ignore them and go back to your usual seething
you are so pathetic, come on let's go

Inb4 uh uh uh im busy right now i can’t

>>531230962
when I started a coach taught me that endgames are important and made me practice R+K vs K and K+P vs K and I now hate chess

>>531369668
do you have no shame whatsoever? drop a challenge faggot, this is even more pathetic than being u1700uscf and talking shit like you are some master

wow would you look at the time!

>*snap this is going in my cringe compilation*
I gave you 90 minutes I'm going to sleep, not fucking my sleep schedule for some pussy patzer that will never play anyway
you still need to drop a challenge if you want to call yourself a man the other anon who challenged you is still waiting and we both know half the thread can and would love to fuck you up
if you don't I will reply with this pic to everyone of your posts from now on, this is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen,no hyperbole I'm dead serious if I were you I'd unironically kill myself out of shame

Why doesn't he just play?

Is there a way I can stalk players who use specific openings (I.E. English for white/Czech Pirc for black) on Lichess to use as my personal entertainment? If so, how do I go about finding them?

Nimzowitsch was an absolute madman:

>My last meeting with Nimzovich was also the longest. It took place in 1934, when we were both following the second Alekhine-Bogolyubov world
championship match as reporters. The games of the match were scheduled to be played in many parts of Nazi Germany – unfriendly territory for a Jew and not
particularly safe for a Gentile either, in view of the tensions immediately preceding Hitler’s bloody purge of his political enemies, among them Ernst
Roehm.

>Nimzovich considered himself protected by three consulates: the Latvian because of his birthplace, the Danish because of his residence, and the Dutch
because some of his reports were going to a newspaper in Holland. He boasted of this protection even to Reichsminister Hans Frank, who at that time was in
charge of the “protection” of art and later became the governor of Nazi-occupied Poland. Frank followed a few games of the match and sometimes
chatted with the masters and reporters, including Nimzovich. He even invited the whole chess troupe to his villa for lunch. The Jews Mieses and Nimzovich
were included in the invitation, but only Nimzovich showed up. At the luncheon he demonstrated his usual persecution mania by complaining first
about a dirty plate and then about a dirty knife. The Reichsminister, seated directly opposite him, pretended not to hear.

>Nimzovich caused several incidents during that 1934 match, all of them harmless except one. And for a moment, that one was hair-raisingly serious.
One day when a high officer in a Nazi uniform entered the press room, Nimzovich brusquely demanded to see his credentials. When the perplexed
officer didn’t answer at once, Nimzovich asked him to leave. The other reporters, including myself, were horrified, expecting the Nazi to react violently
after receiving such an order from a Jew. But, amazingly, nothing happened. The officer simply left.

he must be even weaker than we thought, not that 1600uscf isn't weak as fuck I give take backs to the 1500fide at the club I go to because he blunders tactics so often, I now believe admitting to being u1700uscf wasn't a slip but rather still larping and he's like u1000 in reality

Wouldn't it be funny if Larpov were Ray Gordon?

He's 2200 libullet, a schizo, likes talking about his old tournament days in Philadelphia (iirc, but the videos are now deleted)
But the attitude seems strikingly similar.

>>531461640
Look in the opening database (for Lichess players) for your openings. Take note of the high rated players who appear there. Click on their profiles and follow them.

>>531462210
Can you spoon feed me like the retard that I am? Where do I click for the opening database?

playing leelaqueenodds is such suicide fuel, I never felt so stupid in my life

>>531463047
>phonefag

>>531463047
click analysis, there is a book shaped button below the board, it has 3 tabs master database,lichess database and player
put the opening you want on the board look at the lichess database under the move percentages there should be the highest rated games in those lines, find strong players the play the line you are interested , the click the player tab,click the little gear button click on the name under player(should be your nick if you never done this) and input the name of the strong player you choose, now you can see what they play in every positon

>>531463047
Not sure which version of the app you're using, because my Lichess app has an "Openings" button under Tools, as does the mobile browser version I have. At any rate, >>531464215 is correct.

Why are so many people talking about Reddit

Honestly that is such a perfect summation of how disgusting you little gremlins are. You enjoy being anonymous so that you can make up lies about specific people you know nothing about… in the incredibly unlikely hopes that you might somehow by chance hurt someone who triggered you on the internet.

This is why I will never feel bad about driving you kids up the wall. You are such mean little demons lol.

If you kids ever cross the line into actually fucking with a genuine human being in the chess community I will take off the kids gloves and get your team banned in ten seconds

How does Vidit keep making into these Freestyle tournaments when he sucks in every single one of them? He's cheating in the qualifiers?

>>531502406
I didn't express any certainty or tell any lie, and I didn't intend to harm you either.
Calling him schizo is just a colloquial shorthand for... whatever you would call that in the screenshot.

>>531441650
schizos always think that because a method works 90% of the time it will always work, for the rare people that compose most of this site's traffic we don't have our name anywhere on the public internet, he can't find shit jej

the presence of schizos is good because it covers for unhinged but intelligent people, if you tell a normie at a social place "i will find out who you are and murder you" he will likely think you are just some schizophrenic (a woman would be scared though), yet all it takes is following him back home and a couple of days of investigation

>>531504305
one of the most schizophrenic posts i've ever read

>>531504889
good.

>>531502406
if you were able to get the team banned you would've done it long ago. You won't send a challenge, you don't even play chess. All you do is come here and seethe about people who are better than you could ever hope to be playing chess with one another. You will never participate, you will never be a part of anything. Your entire life can be categorized as pure impotence and inefficacious rage.

>>531441650
Damn I remember this guy's videos, they were insane and weird. He talked about chess being solved and having a method to always draw, old stories when he was an ace with women, tournaments... the guy just peaked at 20-22 years old and then destroyed his life, and he cherishes those moments that will (rightously) never come back, the guy's a schizo kek

>don't check for my opponent having a forced (queen needs to sac) bishop+rook mate line 5 moves after my move
>play it anyway cuz it looks good
>lose instantly

And desu i think he cheated because he played the best move after mine instantly which was not obvious and then it took him 20 seconds to move the bishop to support the rook, but i can't report because my record against this guy is 1/7 so lijannies will just think i am seething (he always plays 000 games against me, btw, probably only cheats against me and others he doesn't like).

anyway today i am getting unlucky over and over

Embarassing! These niggas prolly gonna lose millions on this shit.

Well focusing at all on Philly goes right back to extreme zoomer ignorance of the pro chess scene. Because most basic bitches are aware of the fact that for decades now a huge chunk of world opens, chess congress and Liberty bell tournaments have been played there.

So in a way any chess player who isn’t a dumb zoomer knows you won’t get stabbed there.

true

How do I train myself to move first and think later? Most of my losses in blitz are on time due to freezing up or thinking too long in some positions

Hans is so hyper at the commentary desk right now that I think he may be on a performance enhancing drug.

is magnus losing on purpose so he doesn't have to play hans

>>531535128
I will share this with you, my friends. Microdosing psychedelics, in particular lsd, is incredibly common in all sports at the professional level. It is largely unspoken of/documented for the most part, its everyones dirty little secret. It basically enhances hand eye coordination, athleticism, reaction time, and bolsters your overall intuition.

>>531542153
Jocks don’t do LSD dude. They do cocaine.

>>531543534
I predict that one day sooner than later the cat will come out of the bag. Eventually psychedelics will be decriminalized/legalized, not that they should be, but its part of the antichrist agi integration. Legalizing hallucinogenic gigaweed was step one in a long list of things to come. But basically before the roll out to the masses it will be 'revealed' that all top athletes microdose to boost performance/cognition. You can look at doc ellis, that was just a very small instance of disclosure.

>real schizo hours

>>531544294
I actually agree that in controlled doses psychedelics can have cognitive boosting effects, as well as physical; I once took shrooms and could swim laps indefinitely way beyond my normal cardio level (until I puked). Also agree on the hallucinogenic gigaweed that shit is out of control. Not following the anti-Christ AGI stuff tho.

Also I’m familiar with the Doc Ellis story, but he even says benzedrine was his drug of choice. The LSD was a one time thing, by mistake, because he forgot what day it was and that he was scheduled to pitch that day. Most pro athletes in “real” sports are not microdosing I can assure you.

>>531544294
Based spirit-being of Christ knower

Hans' obvious hatred for Magnus and Howell's obvious hatred for Hans made that last hour hilarious.

>>531561620
>man who thought he loved hans as much as possible gains an additional bit of love for him he didn't even know could be real
ok this was kino of the highest order despite tania and the esports fag

>>531564405
pity that we won't get magnus vs hans then

>>531524669

It takes a special kind of man to be ready for marriage. Considering the fact that Plaguenus is a selfish degenerate, I can absolutely guarantee he is already causing his wife to resent him.

I guess being a family man is too hard for him and soon he’ll be back to his one true love, the bottle

>>531521462
Yeah, there's a literal rng element of getting paired with real players vs engine cheaters. I think it's worse in rapid and classical, too

>>531572951
The part where he says of Magnus "it's hard for me to hide my contempt" and there's just a moment of stunned silence... it's kino
He also constantly talks over all the commentators, but the awkwardness is reduced by the fact that's he's way stronger than anyone in the studio and a little supergm eccentricity is to be expected

>>531566736

they're showing Hans' interview now and he looks like an actor from a black and white film. I wonder if they're putting make-up on the players.

excellent showing, guys
Lycanthrope's Qd7 instead of taking the free queen was some masterful 4d chess.

fucking hell im losing so many won games in time trouble

He played against chessy in the tournaments so he isn't catmixer

So we had more than double the second place score despite no cheating or sandbagging. Pretty good event!

Good games today. Thank you all for playing.

This is getting out of control
