>>532678867 (OP)
whos the gigachud sitting furthest left?

>>532679287
Gata Kamsky. I think he was 18 in this pic.

>>532678867 (OP)
From left to right:
Salov. Loved nothing more than playing drawn positions to bare kings. Usually had the most adjourned games in a tournament. Fischer's successor in the chess schizobabble subgenre.
Kamsky (sitting). Had a madman as a father, eventually became a lawyer so he could declare independence.
Timman. Dutch. Was good for a very long time, but not good enough. Excellent writer.
Gelfand, before he disregarded hair and acquired corpulence. If only he had stamina...
Karpov, the snake himself. He'll take every inch of your territory and there's nothing you can do about it.
Yusupov (Jussupow). Great teacher with bad luck in life and chess.
Adams (sitting). The spider, considered by some (Kasparov) to have been the best 1.e4 player during the early 00s. Perhaps too solid for his own good.
Short, and it will be short. His penchant for irony would unfortunately invade his play.
Polugaevsky. Forgotten more opening theory than most GMs will ever learn in their life. Probably developed more, too.
Polgar (sitting). Attack every time, all the time, even when it doesn't make any sense. As dangerous to herself as she was to her opponents.
Kasparov. Initiative for days. He moves your pieces for you, and you don't even realize it.
Kramnik. You will never break his defense, and if you do, you might be cheating. Hey, I didn't say you were cheating, I'm just saying, hmm, isn't that interesting?
Lautier. Let (unjustified) anger at Kasparov not granting him a match interfere with his career. Better than everyone thought he was, but not as good as he thought he was.
Anand (sitting) Always on time, could calculate faster than anyone. Sadly responsible for ruining chess.
Shirov. Somehow amazing and disappointing at the same time. Unfortunately screwed himself out of a title bout against Kasparov.
Bareev. Sharp wit with an unfortunate preference for openings that didn't suit him. Became a drawmaster to compensate.

>>532685469
great post thanks for taking the time anon
I'm gonna look up what you mean about salov

>>532686439
Just the tip of the iceberg.

>>532686812
yeah I'm looking at:
https://shekina.mybb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=168
from the sources of his wikipage, if he was younger he could have been king schizo here

>>532686812
holy shit, he was on to something. We have to research further

My fellow niggas, what was the website to convert gifs to webms? I wanna upload a nice mate (it was a shitty blitz game with many mistakes but well)

>>>532685469
Reminder that Kamsky was somewhat responsible for popularizing the London System

Nice documentary about him and other chess players!

>>532693116
That... didn't look very sound

>>532693116
this game gave me schizophrenia

>>532678867 (OP)
So, what year exactly did Vishy go from having natty hair to obvious wig?
Where are the pics from Vishys balding era?
There been a huge coverup as Vishy likely has wiped all picture evidence from the internet of his balding progression.
Vishy has gone from full natural hair when he was young, to wig seemingly overnight, bypassing the painful norwood reaper phase.
It's somewhere between 1990 and 2010 where a bespoke wig was handcrafted for Vishy saar.
I'm afraid we will never know as the victors have rewritten history.

i wish lichess had a way to ban yourself forever from the blitz pool

>>532712683
it's called discipline, you probably have it off by default

>>532712683
its a commie website (we own the means of production) so just change the source code yourself

>>532712683
use an extension like stylus to hide the temptation

Fucking SAVAGE

ever since hans visited fischers grave site his tournament performance has skyrocketed. What actually happened there?

>>532756167
he inserted a buttplug at fischers grave

can someone redpill me on the semi slav

>>532758472
you will stephan... just watch his videos playing the slav and look how miserable he is playing those positions

>>532758826
does he play mainline semi slav or some obscure sideline? If I know styeppin then I doubt he is handling the opening as intended, but I could be wrong I dont really watch him

>>532758472
It's an excellent opening. Rich, principled, sharp. Botvinnik lines in semi-slav are insanely chaotic and fun.
>>532758826
Semi-slav and slav are different.

>>532759984
>Rich, principled, sharp
excellent. I shall continue my investigation

https://lichess.org/team/rapid-league-info
I think we should also join the Rapid league for our slowbrain bros.

>>532763053
why are there so many tournaments during the week in the middle of the day? Is every chess player a neet or what

>>532767573
I dont see the problem

https://lichess.org/training/dqLda
cool technique

>>532763053
How many slowbrain bros do you think there are who play actively? And are these like 1500 rapid players or can they deliver some results?

>>532755620
kino

>>532763053
I can add us if there is enough interest. But desu there is a big chance most people will stay away from such long games

>>532773794
it's always the weaklings who cry for longer and longer tcs

>>532765839
This is one of the weirdest myths Americans hold about Europe. I live in eastern Europistan and even here everyone has AC

>>532786619
do you have actual air conditioning or just those little rinky dink units that hang out of the window?

felt pretty good about this one no idea what i was doing in the opening but i it seemed to work out

>>532786619
>weirdest myths Americans hold about Europe
for me it's the "surrendering french" meme when they have arguably the most glorious military history of any existing country, I'm not even french nor do I particularly like them btw but I always found it so baffling then again the average european 5th grader knows more about history than 99.99999% of adult amerimutts so it shouldn't surprise me

>>532792213
>nice military history wyboi, dis our country now

>>532792213
>surrendering French meme
The English started that one, though.

It's up!
fabi is more based than usual in this one, he said that if you can follow the game with leko and judit explaining it to you and need the eval bar on top of that you need to git gud and also said gothamjew fans are not chess fans

>>532802169
yeah godbi's been consistently dabbing on cazzies
pretty based of him

hans got moked by gririri

>>532814719
bad day for the mokester. He will foster hatred in his heart and grow even stronger. His dominance cannot be stopped, only delayed

>>532814962
more like chokester am i right?

>>532816462

hans wants to be magnus so bad hahahaha

>>532773794
i can deliver results in slower time controls but rn i am burnt out

everyone is cheating against me REEEEE

>>532678867 (OP)
queen judit let me worship you

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LX4pkMyrEog
danya squirms and smiles awkwardly while fabiano tells him about how cheaters cause ego damage and humiliation

>>532828787
naroditsky is an insane jew and it's sad that serious people have to see him ignore them while they talk about literally being mindfucked by cheaters online in order to get a platform.
Fuck this dumbass.

>>532828787
hes such a slimy little fuck I dont know why normies are blind to these people

Got mated vs bishop and knight in a blitz game today. How does an 1880 lichess blitz know how to do that?!

>>532678867 (OP)
Do you think Vishy got up in that?

>>532831702
they are all cheating brother

is rook knight vs rook a draw? i couldn't even mate some 1800 with it feels bad lads. that guy had to be cheating for sure

>>532834365
It's a draw but GMs have lost this in classical games. I remember seeing a game at women's World Cup two years ago where a GM lost.

>>532831702
they dont, he cheated

>>532834514
man i looked it up after and i could have mated him but im a retard the fucker was in the corner like the ideal conditions

If you play on chess.com I think less of you as a human being.

have you learned it, bros?

Have any of you tried Jerry's method for B+N mate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3EqM17jvOc
I was able to use it to mate stockfish with 1+0 time control, but pretty much every other player seems to recommend the classic W technique

why does hans insist upon the italian

>>532756167
fainted on Fischer's bloody chessboard, just like Hikaru no Go

>>532846837
Yup. I learned it from that vid + the lichess mate practice. There's no way I could do it in bullet but now that I know the logic, I could 99% do it in a real game and that's what matters.

>>532845441
I use chesscom to smurf and lichess to play seriously is that fine in your book?

>>532846837
I'm not spending effort to learn a checkmate that happens every 10k games and that I never personally had in a game

>>532845857
no, I'm a spanish chad.

>>532845857
nah i am studying the marshall gambit (never even played it on the board)

>>532869653
isn't that really drawish if white knows some theory? you'll also have to learn lines against the various anti-marshalls

I'm going to re-learn the Jaenisch-Schliemann gambit for the Liga. I need to fight the Germans with their own weapon. I'm also learning the Austrian Attack vs the Pirc because every fucking German is a Pirc or Modern player in the Liga. It's time to get serious.

>>532814719
that dirty flag was something to behold. I still can't believe Hans forgot to switch his brain to bullet mode

>>532861539
based and reality pilled

>Your opponent left the game. You can claim victory in 4 seconds.
What do you do lads?

was down to 30seconds on move 26 was very stressful
luckily the pawn baby cage was already activated

>>532880993
>bunch of pawn moves
I hate it.

>>532885327
uncultured swine, you fear what you don't understand

>>532879535
how is this even a question?
i hover my mouse over the greyed-out "claim victory" button and click it as soon as it lets me click it

>>532887416
I donno sometimes I wait a bit to see if they come back.

>>532888146
based fellow white, if it's an equal position or better for the opponent I also wait a bit only if I'm winning I assume he rage quit and claim the victory asap

Don't forget to play in our 3+2 liga tournament today.
https://lichess.org/tournament/xO52pcrM

Reminder that being weak at chess directly correlates with being a subhuman retard!

>>532869653
>never even played it on the board
I highly recommend that you start doing it, i have a win rate of some 60% against the spanish with the marshall. It's a brutal opening to defend against.
>>532871969
They'd have to know the theory very very deeply, it's a variation that doesn't even properly "start" until move 11. It's unlikely that White is gonna be more prepared than someone who mains the Marshall with Black, at least in the amateur ratings.

>>532756167
A great weight was lifted off his shoulders when he learned it was no longer necessary to become the first American world champion

>>532860267
Based.

Opinions on the Berg Countergambit in the Smith-Mora?
>read the book
It's not there.

>>532907148
It’s probably not there because it’s retarded and gives white a slight advantage. exd5, Qxd5, Nc3 is very good play. exd5, Nf6 hurr durr!, c4 is winning for white.

LIGA STARTING >>> https://lichess.org/tournament/xO52pcrM

Just do my first underpromote checkmate in 1500 10+0 control
Dang that feels good
>inb4 pls study chess opening
Over my dead body

alright I tilted for no discernible reason and started playing 70 IQ moves, I am now going to stop feeding. Big lads, you got this. I flagged a 2100, that is my contribution

>>532914782
yeah same I feel like murdering someone after after pic related, the game after I played at 400 level need a break at least

jesus christ i cant fucking play

>>532915760
wasnt a misclick, you were just grabbing space on the kingside. Alphazero would approve

I'm out, I can't play chess today

nobody told me that there would be no shitters besides me in the bundesliga

3+2 is brutal, I need to learn how to play endgames. I threw so many good positions

ggs and thanks to everyone as usual

>>532922037
3+2 is the perfect time control. 3+0 is degen

>>532922037
same
i saw the tactic here and went for it then still failed to close out the game

that jlasker guy is an 80yo expert who used to be quite strong, I thought he was a subtle cheater and mocked him after flagging him now I feel a bit guilty

Andy Woodward got a wildcard for Grand Swiss. But Nakamura, Caurana and So are nowhere to be seen.

Wtf is Hikaru's problem? Doesn't he need games for the Candidates' rating spot?

>>532924485
I think he said he was going to play 'mickey mouse' tournaments

>>532940053
have you tried thinking

>>532934803
>300 centipawn loss on two bad moves
bro . . . ?

>>532940053
most important thing is to never guess a move only move after you calculated and you are sure something works
also try practising the various tactical patterns lichess has under puzzle themes so you get more familiar with all of them

>>532828787
I was sus on naroditsky back pre covid when the mysterious Rebeccaharris was going toe to toe with Magnus and Alireza on lichess titled arena.
This was before naroditsky really had a social media presence, so he was relatively unknown.
My conspiracy theory is that he was trying to build a reputation or aura about himself so that he could launch his career in chess. During the covid chess boom he started live commentating on chesscum tournaments which is when he made his real breakthrough into the chess limelight as GM Daniel Naroditsky the speed chess wizard.

PS also what's up with this title

https://www.fide.com/fide-celebrates-5-5-million-moves-and-announces-prize-winners-for-social-chess-day-tournament/
Any lucky anons? I must admit I'm slightly jealous of the guy that gets to train with Lei Tingjie.

>>532962594
>fide merch

>>532929164
It's 100% accuracy but they were all natural moves (for a gm), the opponent played very poorly.

>>532943957
It might be the eval for fool's mate jej

>>532973464
It was one of my games on a now-deleted account, I don't recall for sure but I think it may have been a really bad Damiano's Defence.

>>532975449
I thought it was just a meme because such a high number for such a low blunder count is incredible.

Hans doesn't believe in free will, he thinks the universe is deterministic

>>532981990
nah, he's just a narcissist. makes sense given his upbringing (born to wealthy, upper middle class american parents who took him with them around the world on business trips). in his family, he's always been the centre of attention, so this has extended to everyone else too.

>>532990826
someones jealous

these ligas are getting pretty hard brehs

>>532981990
hans is the main character of chess

>>532981990
>Hans doesn't believe in free will, he thinks the universe is deterministic
this is a based and high iq take (and correct)

big gay

>>532981990
The universe is deterministic but we don't know the wave function
It is what it is

Also jej at people believing in free will, I had the thought of expansion and shrinking of the universe independently at like 9

>>532990826
narcissism is excusable in the case of extremely high performance. It’s almost a pre requisite, I’ve read some sports psychology stuff and basically the “profile” of high performers is a mix of narcissism and internalized low self esteem, doesn’t make sense at face value but it’s what pushes people who have talent to reach the highest echelons of their field in a lot of cases

>>533013070
When will you join us in the Liga? Or is it always at a bad time for you?

>advancing to the next league = losing terribly
This nigga really is retarded

>>533025891
When someone posted the Tea hack directly to 4chan did it make you angry? The way that guy pretended to be the 'epic anonymous hacker on the 4chins' as though stuff like that ever happened outside of the fever dreams of meme-poisoned zoomers?

>>533025891
>weavers losing terribly despite cheating
That's such a weird accusation. Losing terribly is essentially impossible if you're cheating
In reality we advanced to the next league despite not cheating, not having catmixer artificially inflate our score, and even with Lycan sitting out

>>532872618
>Pirc
Good point, and it got me to seriously look into dealing with the Pirc. I decided on the Byrne variation because I like flinging my bishops out.
It immediately bore fruit.

jesus, people actually play on flimsy little paper-thin mats like this at OTB tournaments?
they should force higher quality stuff just for the sake of the aesthetic of the game. keep that little kid shit at home... it's embarrassing

>>533033526
>My position is good but there's a slight wrinkle on the h file

>>533043989

is it totally tongue in cheek or is he actually butthurt about this?

>>533033526
it's because amerimutts are required to bring their own sets and clocks to tournaments, you'll never see that shit in a fide rated tournament in europe

>>533044293

>intrusive ads (or areas reserved for ads if you adblock), poor performance, and constant nags to upgrade
Aren't you embarrassed to use a site like that?

>>533064581
even if you adblock it still has obnoxious popups to tell you to do shit like buy diamond membership or try game review etc

>>533061267

Another masterclass by Lordbentham... here he got in time trouble and had to go face to face with another cheater (look up his opponent's account) and surprise surprise... HE MADE A BLUNDER??!!

tilted in a drawn position
today i am 0/3, this game, another where i let my time run out in another drawn position because my nigger opponent was dragging it out (he even blundered but i didn't punish because i was so bored) and another where i realized late the sharpness of the position where i had a piece for three pawns, I didn't develop my pieces fast enough and lost to a tactic a dozen of moves down the line to a 2200

http://live.shogi.or.jp/oui/kifu/66/oui202507290101.html
https://abema.tv/now-on-air/shogi
The first day of the third game of the 66th Oi title match is being played, between Takuya Nagase (sente) and Sota Fujii. The time control is 8 hours per player over two days, and the match is a best of 7 (Fujii leads 2-0).
Rather than go into normal double static rook lines, Fujii played gangi as gote, which he's done twice before in two-day title matches, including once against Nagase. Instead of playing a rapid attack like he did the last time he played Fujii in this opening, Nagase is playing a slower opening by building a Yagura castle.

why is everyone on lichess anon a fucking nigger?
they're always doing some shitfaggot 3-move attempt and if they get countered they run the clock down or they always go E4 and do some cookie cutter faggot shit with 5 or so predetermined moves they read in some fucking guide, and it it doesn't go there way after that they abandon the game

there are no authentic games anymore
just fucking shitheads being toxic
the internet was a mistake and I fucking hate every online chess website
why does it have to be like this?
every time I get a game that might be good, someone resigns and it's usually always just in the first 15 moves
nobody ever finishes

what caused this?
it wasn't like this 20 years ago, at least not nearly as bad
internet chess is cancer now

>>533103174
Sounds like you just don't like the game anymore.

>>533103174
>what caused this?
>it wasn't like this 20 years ago, at least not nearly as bad
take a guess

>>533103560
No, I like when I have to use my fucking brain.
I simply hate going through the motions of chess openings and seeing people run the clock out or resign in the middle of a game that is actually entertaining.

I hate these people so fucking much and above all else I hate the fucking websites for not offering a "continue game with bot" option after the pajeet or nigger quits so I can at least try to finish the game in some way but that is not possible.

>>533103967
you can easily do that on lichess
it would take 2 seconds of effort though which is better spent on seething on the gacha board about anon games

>>533104427
There should be a button to automate it.
"Continue with bot?" Y/N
I don't care if I can do it via other methods, it not having a convenient way to do it is retarded. It happens way too often and in real life someone abandoning games so frivilously would be recognized, identified, and blacklisted from playing with them. Online though, they get to be a nigger and poison the well hopping from game to game wasting people's time with their bullshit.

People literally start games just to try fool's mate and run the timer out when you counter it, or go through a few moves then fuck something up and quit too.

Online chess is so bad we might as well be playing against bots in anon because all we get is subhuman behavior.

>>533105396
You are playing rated games, right? Just get out of elo hell and you should get decent games, opponents will fight because they have elo invested

>>533105396

>>533115994
Doesn't work.

>>533098443
On move 47, Nagase sealed his move.

>>533106602
No, anonymous games.
>>533112613
If I made an account is there a non-rated game mode I could play?
I don't care about anonymous games or whatever I just don't like rated online shit because people cheat or smurf and do all sorts of dumb shit but I guess I should give it a try. The state of anonymous games is absolutely ridiculous, so many games get abandoned just because the opponent plays black. I guess that wouldn't happen with an account.

>>533120227
there is way more cheating in anon games retard

>>533120227
>If I made an account is there a non-rated game mode I could play?
yes, you can play unrated games. it's not your imagination btw. i've also noticed a huge decrease in anonymous game quality recently.

Yagura does seem to be making a comeback. Just last week, Nagase lost to it in the semi-finals of the Ryuo.

Black is losing right?
His heart rate is much higher.

The games at this esports tournament is pretty fun to watch, but all of the attempts at spectacle are major cringe. Having a dude with a sleeveless suit is so stupid along with all the faux sport's jerseys.

>>533166545
The games and the format are great.

>>533167898
Agreed. Rapid is fun format to watch. My only small gripe is no increment since the endgames (my favorite part to watch desu) is filled with random moves since they can't think through em as much. But whatever. Expecting classical level play in a rapid tournament is dumb.

>>533109054
haha that was cute, I bet people fail it by dxe8=n+
Requires only very basic calculation and the result is clear-cut so 2260 seems a bit overboard

>>533166545
>trying to glorify shameless monkey flagging by playing no increment
Disgraceful to be desu

>>533156112
>eval bar and heart rate
We need more stats and gimmicks, this isn't enough to hold my attention.
Here's a free idea, use a CAPS score knockoff to estimate the live 'performance elo' of the players during the game, complete with a worm graph showing spikes and sharp drops.
Sound effects whenever a new game-high projected elo is achieved or there's a significant change.
Idea #2, install eye-trackers for each player and whenever the player gaze overlaps with the board, project it to 2d and show it on the board (color coded for each player)
I can easily see Jovanka getting very animated talking about what part of the board the players are looking at

>>533170891
>We need more stats and gimmicks

Play at your local club. It all comes full circle. I too am suffering from online chess fatigue. Nowadays I only play online for correspondence chess. If you don’t have a local club in your area, make one. You can post on your city’s Facebook page and spread the word, maybe organize a tournament or two. Coach your local high school team and lead them to a national championship. You can accomplish a lot when you really put your mind to it.

How are they still doing ajournments in the age of engines?

i'm the low elo in question, around 1200 lichess

>patzer blitzes out first two dozen moves gaining time
>loses a piece to a tactic
>suddenly begins to try to think about his moves
why does this happen every time

does anyone also get a bit panicked when a higher rated opponent blunders but then they have some desperate attack that isn't working but makes you have to defend?

>>533110028
No, it means his opponent was banned for cheating after playing the game. Points are not exchanged in the cheater pool and hovering over lordbentham's name would state that he's also been banned.

>>533074159
it's unbelievable that this faggot still isn't banned after like a year of obvious cheating lichess is a joke

Nah, that was the worst performance of my life. I wanted to leave 3 games in but I didn't want to abandon Moth, Czerka, EasyModo and swiswi. I genuinely don't want to think about chess for at least a month after that. What a waste of nearly 2 hours.

This was an unfortunate matchup, there is no way we can compete with cheating muslims and frenzied Indonesian warriors

Czerka and Moth played well. Sorry for dragging you guys down.

Jesus wept what a miserable time. People with lower ratings than me berzerking and winning.
One day I'm going to learn how to play this wretched game.

>>533348663
As I anticipated, the 2800s were a red herring, they didn't even play

>>533426510
Thank you for playing with us, there's no way to guarantee consistent performance on demand in long blitz tourneys.
But as long as we continue to show up we can make it at least to league 8 like we did last time

>>533426719
You don't need 2800s when you have players like this.

And yes, I am seething and coping.

>>533429221

>>533428665
Sounds like a delicious alcoholic beverage
>>533429620
I guess that proves it 100%. A player of the strength he showed in the liga would not lose one game in a hundred against a 1500
This seems worth drawing to the FM's attention, it's obvious cheating or at the very least account sharing and sandbagging

>Also is it a good idea to mass-report rubybrimmingninja
I don't see why not especially considering they closed megatom account for a much less egregious performance, I already reported him

alright i did too

So in the esports event, does the audience have access to commentary or the eval bar? Because loudly cheering in a position, giving away information to the players (e.g. the knight really is trapped, there's no sequence to escape or find compensation somehow) seems like a nonstarter, that can't be acceptable in a tournament

We get to face FM jeffforever on the official bundesliga team on Sunday, that's cool. https://lichess.org/tournament/lwDjxvH8
Since he runs the thing he'll actually play instead of flaking like titled players have tended to in the liga
Also he's only 2436 blitz, so it's definitely possible to beat him

I have two things to say:
1. lol
2. lmao

Magnus vs. Alireza in non-increment chess, it's like they made this event for me

>>533440702
the 2800 is most likely a cheater too

More like NIGGERhal Sarin

>>533438056
2400s can be tricked, especially in 3+0. Sometimes they will figure out why a crazy idea is unsound but take enough time that they become flaggable.
Sure, the odds aren't great, but I'd love to get matched with Mr. FM jeff

Nice sac and mate. His position was so bad the move before the knight sac, just sad to look at. Down a pawn on each wing and with almost all his pieces on the back rank, one of his rooks completely stuck, and he let you get pigs on the seventh rank, the dude just folded.
Guess he thought he could just huddle up and you'd eventually blunder but you steamrolled him instead

>>533477374
iirc he has a youtube channel where he tries to dial up his blackness. It was actually weird to watch, because he also seemed kind of twitchy and nervous, like he didn't feel comfortable with the kind of anti-intellectual persona he attempted to put on (where he put on a baseball cap and tried to act like the cool hustler with street cred that some viewers of his famous Tim Ferris video might have perceived him as)

>>533528869
Right now the commentary is mostly just David and Tanya (and someone with a slight, not unpleasant accent, not sure who he is but he isn't an obnoxious esport screamer)
After seeing how much worse it could be, I don't mind Tanya too much

>>533530636
I can't watch commentary when Tania is involved, her voice really pisses off my wife.

>>533530636
>(and someone with a slight, not unpleasant accent, not sure who he is but he isn't an obnoxious esport screamer)
he is some esport caster, he's the greasy asian that introduced the ads during the wcc if you remember that

So they literally just gave Deshmuk the GM title for no other reason than winning one tournament against some washed up old hags

I don't see any online poker generals, or much competition between yourselves, just real life sports and crying. Might have to take this up with the big cheese and see what he thinks about this general.

Magnus is washed up

Reminds me more of Hess.

my knights on the rim are not so dim :^)

>>533555980
He would beat pookesh in a match effortlessly but the candidates has to much variance outside of his control to be guaranteed or even very likely to win it, he would never risk that
I really wish FIDE went back to a series of matches for the candidates instead of this roundrobin format where abassov and guiccireza throwing can gift some mediocrity like gukesh a world title match without beating any of the favourites

>>533564262
Good game, he really collapsed, started setting up the pieces for the next game.

You're telling me Yasser Seirawan worked with this dude daily for years and didn't know??

I'm a bullet monkey. It's ogre

How the fuck can anyone play 24 consecutive hours of bullet? Why is lichess promoting this degeneracy?

I have only ever played blitz
can't calculate for shit lads how do we cope?

>>533571616
I always lose 3 min games on time
Should I just play 3+2?
That seems like a cop out.

>>533573060
I switched to 3+2 because I got tired of getting flagged in winning endgames or in situations like rook v rook.

>>533573618
Thanks for the reply.
I'll Switch 2.

>>533568048
On the plus side you'd be a pretty strong IM

>>533573060
yeah 3+2 is equivalent to like 10+0 or even 15+0. it's a completely and utterly different game at that point

>>533575145
It's equivalent to correspondence.

tfw drinking my coffee while calculating move 372 in a bird's opening that transposed to a grand prix attack main line

Anyone else here find it odd that during his speed run instructional videos he’s constantly shredding his opponents with 90% + accuracy but he joins this tournament and Texas and he gets bodies by 1600-1900s?

He’s 3.5/7 against them. He should be 2.5/7 if one of his opponents didn’t have a disastrous blunder.

>>533584341
He's an NM currently around 2100 uscf strength, so it's not surprising he can play blitz against weak opponents at 90% accuracy
Maybe I'm wrong but it seems the lowest player he lost to was an 1880 uscf
Losing to ~1900s otb is not great but not too crazy if he's just having a bad tournament, not sleeping well, out of otb form, having some bad luck, etc.

>>533584341
Thanks for bringing this up because I had no idea Andras was commentating his games

>>533571616
I only play correspondence and lost to blowfish w queen odds in 3+2 how do I cope?

The esports world cup gave me a funny thought about what it would be like if parents taught their kids starcraft or counterstrike at 4 years old and if they show promise, spending tens of thousands of dollars flying them to south korea to be trained by former elite gamers every day for the next 15 years of their lives.

>>533596036

We came 4th but we're not in 11C? They put us in 11B. Why?

maybe related to the muzzie cheater getting banned, it could have screwed up the automation

>>533633190
yeah I bet it's that, the mudlimes got sent into 11b instead of us as long as we don't have to play them it's all good
there are already a FM and a GM in 11c and the jewish team has an IM that played all the last ligas hopefully some of us can get some titled scalps

bros....
Anyone else in elo free fall?

>>533643284
rookie numbers
report vack when you hit triple digits

>>533643284
This was a slow descent for me...
Went from 1950 to 1870 rapid over the course of 2-3 weeks, it's not that I am playing worse, I am performing more and more accurately against stronger opposition in complex positions, but somehow someway whenever there is a quiet move that seizes a 1.x advantage for my opponent they play it, and whenever there is another quiet move that seizes a 2.x advantage they play it, and it is happening so often that I go for natural looking lines that end up destroying the integrity of my position after 6-8 move lines that I just didn't have the time to calculate and evaluate too well.
I would call it bad luck... I believe there is a lot of luck involved in a game of chess, maybe not in long-term performance, but I digress.

>>533646902
Oh and obviously I am not blundering those quiet moved in one move, it's after those lines that I didn't calculate/evaluate

I've never been able to make it past the low 1800s in chesscum rapid.

The only thing I've never down for improovment is studying my own games so I have started playing less and studying more. Especially positions in the openings I play the most

>>533643284
I don’t know what’s wrong with me but the last week I have completely forgotten how to play chess. I think they’re cranking up the 5G or something, it’s weird

>>533584341
>And for today we have the 126th ""educational"" speedrun from 400 elo to 2000, after which I'm gonna start a new one again because I lose to everybody rated in the general vicinity of me.

>>533647520
Hate that beaner faggot, complete fraud

>>533584341
it's not hard to get 90% accuracy when half of the game is the poopensharten gambit theory, and after that the opponent blunders a full piece under pressure because he doesn't know the gambit.
1600s-1900s in longer time controls are gonna be more resilient than whoever he meets in his speedruns.

>>533643284
this happened to me a week or two ago, i was on 2096, one game from 2100 for the first time, then basically lost it all to 2015 in one day
i took a day off and locked in and slowly climbed back up and now im 2100 today

>>533649452
Piggybacking to say that all elo spurts for me have been the result of a single day of grinding, never of playing above the given level for an extended period of time

Anyone who tries to discourage artists from trying to make art are called "crabs", as in "crabs in a bucket".
The book "fun with a pencil" is a semi-ironic suggestion when people ask what books they should read if they want to learn to draw. While it's fit as a beginners book, a hell of a lot of work has to be put into it, which is off-putting to many posters.

I think you just aren't allowed to abort anymore and it counts as a loss when you do.

>>533679418
I'm roughly the same rating and I'm a skinny-fat nerd who has never been in a gym or gone jogging in his life, I think the benefits of fitness for chess are wildly overstated
Not saying there aren't any but it's probably around a 50 elo boost if that much
Look at absolute slobs like parham and korobov reaching super GM levels, would they have been world champ contenders if they were in shape?Would nepo have been the GOAT? I don't think so

>>533686826
parham has peak indian physique though, they can't do much better than tiny limbs and pot bellies
nepo would have been for sure his lack of discipline is proportional to his titties

>>533689035
No, 2050 lichess correspondence is 2050 lichess correspondence. Nothing more, nothing less.

Neverresignbros, it happened again.
I went on to win this against a guy rated 2450 liblitz.

>>533685251
>forklift certified.
I hope you have the shirt to go with it.

>>533692581
After 500 games they're equivalent

>>533692853
That's such an insane comeback it's hard to believe, but I guess even a 2450 can hang a mate (or queen)

>>533695696
Yeah, hanging a queen is exactly what he did. I had just played ...Kg7 after my rook had been pinned to my king on g8 for many moves and he didn't process that it was unpinned and attacking his queen.
I think he got complacent because he was winning so handily it was hard to keep paying attention.

>>533694615
If the 500 games are played in both lichess and FIDE correspondence and that's what the ratings come to, then yes. Otherwise, no.

>>533696121
