I didnt think it would be possible to do worse than the gotham OP, but youve found a way. Delete this one and lets try again

>>537451778
This OP is totally fine. Live a little

>Get bootyblasted in bullet by an insane move, has to be cheating
>Opponent is simply rated one THOUSAND bloody power levels higher in classic and blitz
When are we going to stop pretending that time controls are mutually exclusive

>>537452968
What was his bullet vs. blitz rating roughly? I don't think I've never seen like a 2500 blitz with a <2000 bullet (as long as they actually play bullet)

>>537451665 (OP)
Saved! Going to send this to my wife, she'll love it!

Could you beat Magnus if he started without queen and rooks?

>>537451862
>Aberrant OP image
>no zzz trolling so they won't even see it

>>537455002
yeah I think I'd destroy him in any time control
Even a specially trained Leela couldn't beat a 1500 consistently with those kinds of odds

You guys aren't dedicated enough to do this.

>>537456259
Could’ve just went inside and analyzed it with a computer

>>537455002
Yes, he can't trade anything and all I have to do is play solidly until I win a bunch of pawns or attack his king.

>>537456924
That's the difference between analyzing to develop your skills and analyzing to "know" why you lost. Anyone can flick on the engine and "know" the evaluation went under at move x but analyzing on your own means you might play better next time.

has anyone chess on opiates

>>537456259
I can't do this because I don't lose.

>>537456259
wtf takes him 4 hours to analyze? is he dumb?

>>537457515
Yes, obviously much better to analyze with your 2000 liblitz brain instead of a 3600 elo computer. Cut out the middle man and stop wasting your time, retard

>>537460461
Do you think you would learn much from 'solving' tactical puzzles by just immediately looking at the solutions with a computer, without forcing yourself to calculate and commit to a conclusion?
I assume you're trolling, but the 'middle man' you're cutting out here is the part that you're trying to improve at chess (the 2000 liblitz brain) so removing it from the optimization process might not be the best idea

>want to try 960
>boot up 10 minute game
>get paired with people 1000+ points higher than me
What the fuck? I'm getting slaughtered and there's nothing I can do about it. What time control has the biggest pool of players?

>>537462108
This why I hate arguing with autists, the black and white thinking is so tiresome. When you fucking analyze a game, with a computer, you think of a line, and then use the computer to verify if you’re on the right track or if you’re missing something. You’re the one inputting the lines, but you’re not the one telling yourself if they’re good or not, because you can’t, because you fucking suck at chess. Analyzing without a computer is a monumental waste of time and likely even counterproductive to an extent since you have no clue if your analysis is objectively good. You literally can’t say I’m wrong, chess books written before computers are full of misinformed analysis, and those were written by players much stronger than you.

>>537462694
Just gained 71 elo by beating someone 600 points higher rated than me. That one victory almost brought me back to where I started today lmao. 960 is so stupid but fun. Wish more people played it, so I'm not sitting around waiting for a game I'm likely lose.

OP WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUC ARE YOU DOING

>>537467265
they're hot

>>537467961
Wrong, women are better as 95% of men would agree

Every time I'm ahead my mind turns to mush in the endgame and I throw.

>>537468679
Make a queen. Stop your opponent from making a queen. Ain't that hard once you think about it

>>537462694
make an open challenge in the lobby and use the opponent strength slider if you play on lichess

>>537458908
obviously somewhere

>>537468356
that isn't a contradiction

2100 rapid, 2000blitz(on a good day) but from what I've seen there is much less correlation between fide classical and online ratings that you would think
out of 3 1800 fide at my club that I know the lichess accounts of, one is somehow 2000lirapid and 1800liblitz(yes his fide rating is literally higher than his liblitz I have no idea how it can be especially because he plays a lot and he's in his 20s but it would be rude to ask), one has more or less my same ratings and one is 2200+ in both, it's weird especially because when I play them in otb blitz I don't notice much of a difference

>>537501004
T goes down after a loss

Most annoying response to the Jobava London?

If you played against a very beautiful girl that you're attracted to OTB, would you play better or worse? would you feel distracted?
(i'm going to play a classical against a very beautiful girl and i'm scared)

>>537528032
i would be very scared to make eye contact and i would probably fumble the handshake. i would be distracted the whole time, "omg she thinks i'm ugly and that my hand was too sweaty, she can tell that i'm nervous and that i haven't talked to a girl in years, she's probably going to talk with her friends afterwards about having to play some ugly loser freak".

but that's just me. you'll probably do fine.

>>537527534
I know of a Jobada player on youtube rated 1300-1400 and he hates the Englund gambit.

>>537528682
Why would you watch a 1300?

>>537528941
earlier a 3000 bullet was watching my 1500 liblitz game

>>537518516
shoo shoo stinky winky

>>537528032
That's pretty much what happened in the first round of a rapid i played a few days ago. No, i did not feel distracted by her being a pretty girl at all, playing tournament chess is already stressful enough... not losing is more important than making perfect social interactions.

>>537501004
>up 5.3 centipawns at the peak
Can’t tell if this is bait but lol, that’s the funniest line

They don’t just do this in anon btw. And if they can’t even take a loss in anon, you think they do in ranked?
Online chess is completely dead. Find a new hobby.
https://lichess.org/XjlfZoOzR4Jt

>>537537523
To be fair cheating is a lot worse in anon

>>537537523
nobody cheated in this garbage game.

>>537460367
he'd rather ponder on his loss for four hours in the rain than go home to his shrewish wife. Such is life in soviet china.

>>537538468
don't enable him.

>escaped 1800s hard stuck only to be 1900s hardstuck

Is it over?

>>537538468
Not in my experience. There’s no incentive. A lot of people just play anon to kill time or learn the game stress free. I already quit rated because of cheating and just play anon occassionally, but even there it doesn’t take long to find somebody who can’t take loss. It’s just over.
>>537538521
One of the most annoying things in the world of midwits is the urge to be le “rational” and minimize everything because they think they’re too intelligent to be persuaded of anything. In reality you’re just a know-nothing imbecile and virtually an NPC, there’s always one of you making this obligatory reply. The amount of times I’ve gotten one of these just for the account to be banned soon after lol but fortunately for you, this is anon so you get feel super rational all day.

My favorite is when they try to “analyze” and act like real life chess players and go “No this isn’t cheating, your mistake was playing this and that and then his response was natural etc.” and they’re just referencing an engine and talking out of their ass. An hour later, the innocent account is banned lol

>>537539075
Agree to disagree. Anon lichess is a bunch of jeets that got banned and can’t afford a VPN. You’d be better off making an account and playing unrated.

>>537537523
Hey, I remember this game.

>>537539543
>>537539075
you are schizophrenic

>>537537523
I agree in general about retards having been brainwashed into thinking denying cheating no matter what makes them smart, I've seen exactly >>537539543 happen a dozen times on plebit
That said what makes you think white cheated in this game specifically? he obviously wasn't cheating at the start at what point would you say he started cheating and why?legit asking I want to understand what makes you so certain because I don't see it myself

>>537546839
It’s just the difference in level. He started the game like a total noob, blundering multiple pawns (and not for any clever compensation) and not understanding anything (he thought he could cut off my Queen from my bishop by sacricing another pawn lol), then once my pawn structure got slightly compromised but I should still be able to beat someone as bad as him, he started playing as if he understood everything and rapidly built up an advantage to totally winning. Basically exactly the way an engine seizes on an any little weakness and gradually builds.
In a case like this it’s just about context. Against a strong player I’d be less suss but really weak players don’t suddenly turn into legends once they’re tilted and losing.

>>537548602
Also, you can just compare the moves to Stockfish. He took his eye off the ball at exactly one point with 26. Rf7 that led to a clever complication if I could have seen it, but it was deep. Otherwise basically pure Stockfish from the point the queens were off. From a guy who can’t avoid blundering the b2 pawn when I play rb8 lol

>>537528032
I once played an uggo teenage girl with a particularly dumb looking face and she blitzed me off the board and crushed me.
I was playing on down a clean piece and continued well into a hopelessly lost rook endgame and when we got to move 60 she got up and brought extra scoresheets which embarrased me into resigning.
I shared this so you'll know that you'll surely do better than me.
Try not to let it get to you and play what you know.

At what point will I have to start checking profiles for cheaters before every game for rapid? I just made it to the low 1900s chesscum

>>537537523
please put on a trip
it would be lovely to have the option to automatically filter your mental illness

>>537548602
>>537549405
>Otherwise basically pure Stockfish from the point the queens were off.
f4 wasn't an engine move though I wanted to say he might have started to cheat after the queen trade but f4 made me second guess it ,ofc cheaters can mix their own moves in not to get caught but in anon he wouldn't even need to plus he played it in less of a second normally one would think he would a least check that his own move isn't losing, in general he time usage isn't suspicious,you are probably right because the level of play did rise a lot as you said but it's not clear cut
he might have been using one of those browser exertions where you can set it to a certain rating level

>>537544254
where's Morphy?

If you're under 1000 should you just ignore the analysis bar entirely since blunders are so likely?

>>537558404
wtf are you talking about?

>>537559208
Like if it says white is up 1.1 or whatever that doesn't matter because no one can push the advantage

>>537560327
well objectively it does matter, and it doesnt hurt to start thinking that way, atleast. +/-1 isn't a huge margin, but if you mentally categorize the position as slightly better and learn good follow up lines, then in the future when you reach the same or a similar position, you will recall that you were slightly better and that such and such line presses the advantage. This will be more important during the opening phase and very early middlegame since those positions will likely repeat throughout your career. And even in middlegames and endgames you may not reach identical positions but you will start to see the same ideas and themes. Don't think of yourself as a low elo loser who will be stuck in low elo hell in perpetuity, start to consider yourself as a someone who is slowly becoming a strong player. So basically you can do the future strong player a favor now by using the computer analysis objectively, even though yes practically speaking at low elo the evaluation will swing all over the place for the entire game most likely and doesnt "matter".

>>537537523
Didn't look very sus to me. He missed the free piece, then you hung every pawn with check, which tends to let the advantage slip a bit
On move 26 (out of 30) he threw the game away anew with Rf7
He simply didn't play a single move that looked inhuman or insanely resourceful, he mostly just attacked stuff and then took it when it wasn't defended

>>537500484
Congrats, we need more anons infiltrating the fide system.

Chess is an online game. Stop try-harding with your OTB tournament ratings. You will never be a GM.

Does anyone feel like com might be lying about their number of users? I'm currently typing this entire post as I wait for a bullet game at 1500. I'm still waiting btw. It's been over 30 seconds. This is common.
On lichess it takes 2 seconds

>>537565981
I would think the difference is more likely to be the result of their shoddy infrastructure and comprehensive technical inferiority to lichess rather than a lack of 1500s for matchmaking

>>537565981
danny could match you with an opponent quickly but it takes more time to set up lopsided matchups that artificially seed engagement-building win streaks

>>537569195

Just threw away a M4, I want to fucking die. I need to grind 1 million fucking puzzles.

>>537582624
Correction, it was two M4 and a M7. Subhuman, I have spent weeks doing nothing but playing and watching chess and it's actually hurt my rating.

Threw away another won game in the end game. I really really really don't want to have to grind endgame puzzles but it's seeming 100% necessary to get above the fucking 700 level for my retarded subhuman fucking ass.

Just dropped another game to a fucking reveal check trick. 100% autopilot, 0% skill or effort. I hate myself and you guys are going ot hear about it

Chess on cocaine? I've been over chess lately, I still play daily, but more out of habit, I don't study, I don't improve, I just mash out games during idle periods of the day. I haven't played rapid in over a year. My rating will occasionally streak up near my peak, but inevitably falls to mediocre.

Recently rediscovered my love for the game while on cocaine. Well more like, recently discovered cocaine, and chess is a happy afterthought.

Also the rating I used to muddle around in is laughably retarded now. Anyways back to studying the puzzles I left 14 months ago.

>>537501004
1100, jeet. tomato tomatoe

Okay just played a game where I built a lead all game and didn't throw, now I can finally feel okay.

>>537586351
If you have "cocaine for chess" money, you have a it good

>>537586959
Cocaine is pretty cheap now days. At least in my area. Kind of weird how its defying inflation, maybe some economist should write a paper about it.

>>537587140
illegal drugs are one of the few things not affected by tariffs

buying a bag of coke and sitting in your room playing chess is like buying a gaming pc just to play solitaire

>>537587478
at least go play with some irl people, ya.

>>537587365
It's broader than tariffs, and it also defies most of the drug market. Cocaine has gotten cheaper, significantly, over the past 8ish years. Where other drugs have stayed the same or increased slightly.

I'm guessing it's due to some geopolitical factor, enforcement in production countries, or perhaps some undiscovered method of global transport, or degradation of agencies hindering trafficking. Cocaine is still an expensive drug, but it's not as expensive as it was in the past.

>>537587478
I am playing chess on a gaming PC as well.

l feel like Stjepan is a good case study on why alcoholics seem to find "random" success in chess.

Stjepan would benefit immensely from relieving the pressure he puts on himself and just playing the game. This guy is holding a 20 lb carrot up his ass every time he plays a rated game cause he knows he's gonna have to explain his play to his little youtube viewership. If the nigga just tried to play the game and not worry so much about looking like a retard he'd improve.

Just played the Black Lion. My rating is improving fast, think I need to buy the course mates.

Ito's beaten Fujii before though (he's the only one who's actually beaten him in a title match), and Fujii seems to be in a bit of a slump at the moment, so it's not a given that Fujii will win.

Should I play the Italian or the Ruy Lopez as white?
Yeah, only these two are possible. I will learn only one.

>>537810310
Roy Lopez for sure

>>537810310
i have always seen the ruy lopez as The Opening for an improooover. Sure, it has 90000000000000 of variations and theory, but who cares. It grows with you as a player, it improves with you as a player. You start with knowing a few moves and ideas, and each X ratings gained, you analyse a bit more, learn a few more moves, and suddenly see that the Ruy is tactical as fuck and you could lose a looooooot of games in the past, but missed the lines. Now you go up again, learn even more, and face your face berlin walls, marshalls. So you learn antimarshalls and best answers to the berlin. Ruy lopez develops you both tactically and positionally, and the better tactician you are, the more easy games you'll get.
I asked a few titled dudes about the main white opening for an improoover. Almost all of them said ruy lopez, one said queens gambit, one said two knights scotch or the italian.

Don't play chess when you're sick.

In french defense advance variation, as black how do i deal with the advanced pawn? I used to oppose it with the f pawn but that seems like a subomptimal strategy

>>537818907
2000 online?Yes should happen naturally if you keep playing and doing puzzles for a couple years
2000 FIDE?Still yes but would take actual study and effort

>>537820583
easiest way is to never play the (((french))) defense for any reason

What's even the point of playing the French
Even Carokann is a lot better objectively

>>537821656
pros love the french

>>537821656
I've never played either nor do I mind facing one much more than the other so I don't think I'm biased when I say this:
The french is a respectable manly opening the caro is for fags and cowards

What's the point of Chess if bots are superior to human players? I watch Hikaru's videos where he plays against a bot and he always lose or tries to go for a draw. He never wins against them.

Shit dude, even if you're against a bot with perfect aim in video games, there is counterplay. The best human players can still beat cheater bots. Chess is for scrubs, play League of Legends.

Keep up the good posture anons!

Blitz and bullet have ruined me. I cannot win a single game of chess without my opponent falling for some shitty trick anymore. I'm certain it's been close to a year since the last time i played a game without a blunder. If i were ever looking at the analysis after my games i could probably confirm this, but i haven't done that in ages. Recently i decided to join a local rapid tourney to see if i could still play chess, and guess what, i lost to somebody who played fucking h6 against the italian game. Like a beginner. Before i looked, i had already played the unsound garbage that would've given me an easy win in 3+0. And now i have completely disgraced myself.

My god, what have i done.

The first game of the 73rd Oza title match is being played, between Takumi Ito (sente) and Sota Fujii (the Oza title holder). The time control is 4 hours per player, and the match is a best of 5.
The opening was sente's rapid attack vs. gote's gangi.

If I'm ever going to break out of the 750 range, I have to stop thinking only one turn ahead. I can't expect people to just fall for M1 anymore and not mount obvious defences, and therefore I need to look for those obvious defences. But trying sucks, thinking sucks, I don't want to do it.

>position is dead draw unless i make the most retarded possible move

>faggot denies it and the game goes another 50 moves and 10 minutes until...... it ends in draw
I swear people just want to waste your time out of spite.

>>537943445
I think many brownoids think accepting a draw is a sign of weakness much like they refuse to ever click resign, many times I had third worlders refuse a draw only to go into a repetition shortly after, hard to understand what goes on in their bestial minds

I have fucking 1200 games, how much """""""""""""practice""""""""""""" do I need before I stop being subhuman sub-1000 player?

>>537945432
It sounds like you are merely reinforcing bad habits, read a chess book or two and learn new ones.

>>537945716
If I have to read books to crack baby retard 4 year old level play, then it's already over and I should just quit. The fact that I didn't start at least 1000 like a regular fucking adult human is bad enough

>>537945432
Do you play rapid or longer?
do you analyze all your games?
do you do puzzles every day?
if all those answers are yes you are NGMI otherwise you know what to fix

>>537946590
Chess is way harder than you think, you can't just start playing and pick it up. You do have to study, even to be a beginner. I didn't break 1000 until I learned what openings were

>>537947167
All rapid. I analyze many of them, trying to figure out why I lose. I need to write stuff down I guess though, because I just make miscalculations anyway. I play puzzles but need harder ones.

>>537947240
1200 games isn't me just "picking it up". I have known about openings since day one even if I don't know much theory so wtf is my problem? ADHD is hurting me, I blunder shit because I'm rushing, but even then so is everyone else around me

>>537947539

Play correspondence chess instead of rapid.

You may think that you are giving yourself enough time by using 15-30 minute time control games, but if you are a beginner, you really should be spending multiple days on a single move.

Practice tactics on chesstempo. Make an account and do at least 100,000 easy problems

Do not study opening theory. Go over master games on chessgames.com and study players from the 1800s to learn soulful, attacking chess.

You can do this. We all believe in you.

Read Simple Chess once you feel a lot better about the fundamentals and your tactical skills.

>>537956601
>You may think that you are giving yourself enough time by using 15-30 minute time control games, but if you are a beginner, you really should be spending multiple days on a single move.
This is complete nonsense >>537947539

>>537958180
It makes me worse at blitz, but unclear about rapid or longer time controls. I think sometimes with rapid it can help since it makes me more patient or willing to consider ideas I wouldn't usually.

>>537957104

Paul Keres got good by playing tons of correspondence chess. I think that my advice is sound.

At the very least, he should play the classical time control games that are 45-60 minutes. Rapid is still way too fast for beginners, you may as well have a beginner spam 5 minute blitz games thinking that they’ll improve that way. Won’t help develop their chess vision and understanding, regardless of post game analysis with an engine


Here is an excerpt from Keres’ Wikipedia page

“Keres was a three-time schoolboy champion of the country, in 1930, 1932, and 1933. His playing matured after playing correspondence chess extensively while in high school. He probably played about 500 correspondence games, and at one stage had 150 correspondence games going simultaneously. In 1935, he won the Internationaler Fernschachbund (IFSB) international correspondence chess championship.”

idk, it never worked like that for me - actually I made my best gains while smoking tons of weed (though this was likely coincidental and just because I happened to be at an easy part of the rating distribution to climb at the time)
the only quality of my chess I can say for sure increased when I stopped is my bullet, funnily enough. my rating exploded after I quit while everything else stayed on the same trajectory as ever

Twice now I've written to ICC to attempt to convince them to add anime waifus to their site and twice I've been told they'll "pass it along to their development team".
I don't think they're taking me seriously. How do I make them understand that I am very serious?

I tried a little slow rapid (10+5) and I seem to make simple blunders that I would very rarely make in blitz. And I've seen opponents make similar elementary blunders with 10 mins on the clock.
Pretty weird, but should be possible to fix with a little effort. I must learn to resist letting the long time control dull my senses

Witty alien is quitting chess.
Which is a shame cause he was one of the rare ones who played chess creatively, with pure intellect and never copying anyone or memorizing optimal drawing lines. He never went for cheap tricks like clowning himself or having a fake personality for views. He was genuine. I didnt know streaming was so tough, 30 hour streams sound crazy. Yet we have streamers like speed and countless others who bring nothing of value to the world and good people like witty cant even make a living. State of the world right now

>>537945432
Maybe some anons will disagree with me, but I think the main way to progress your chess is to study. Playing is when you try to implement into play what you already learned while studying. And although you surely can learn and improve from analyzing your own games, the bulk of progress comes from studying at home.
I really don't think most people can get better at chess by just spamming games, unlike other (video) games.

>>538005728
Who?

>>537945432
try playing against maiachess.com 1100 bot. supposedly their bots are very human-like and you have unlimited time mode so you can practice spending 5-10 minutes per move. eventually you will stop playing without thinking and you'll develop a "procedure", a set of steps that you can go through to find a decent move in any position. most people recommend "checks -> captures -> threats" as a starting point. you improve at chess when your thinking process improves.

>>537830759
could a new board game similar to chess be designed in which humans are still better than computers? what features would it need to have to trick computers? go was for a while, but computers solved it too

>>537984851
more likely to be taken seriously at a Japanese chess app like Chess Quest.

>>537830759
i think the bigger problem is that computers make it easy for humans to cheat, and if you cheat in a smart way its impossible to catch, top players would just need the computer telling them how to avoid big errors, not even how to play

>>537947539
You might need some direction and structure from an outside source. Meet with a coach like once a month or two to discuss areas to focus on and your progress. Lots on lichess offering their services for cheap.

>>538017617
i didn't know ELO had an expiration date

how do i get better at chess

>>538018925
play game

>>538018485
Hikaru, Fabi and Nepo were 1 win away from winning the last Candidates so they all have decent chances

>>538018635
There should be some minimum average rating for the tournament to count, or make the grand swiss or world cup mandatory for the rating spot

>>538018269
no, because they have shogi. Best we get are individual episodes that show a chess game for flavor (e.g. Silent Witch this season). There hasn't ever even been a western anime about chess. There is only one manga that focuses on chess, Chrono Monochrome. (though maybe Kasparov funded one too? i haven't read it.)

>>538018635
>>538018635
1.'24 fide circuit points
2.'25 fide circuit points
3. top 2 grand swiss
4. top 3 world cup
the last two are a crapshoot and the fide circuit is not an option for Hikky so this is the comfiest possible qualification for him
but it's pretty sad that this is the second Candidates in a row where someone gets in through farming
well, the third if you count what Ding did

>>538019181
>>538019602
who's gonna get screwed if hikaru's farming succeeds?

>>538019602
They should just have all qualification spots by FIDE circuit, and give grand swiss and world cup more circuit points.
Top 3 world cup makes it so that some random lucky GM gets qualified, like Abasov last candidates, taking away a spot from someone more deserving.

>>538019898
no one really. his closest rival is prag and I think he's a lock for the '25 circuit points and he's like 30 points below him, which is a lot.

>>538019672
Yeah, but, how DO I get better at chess?

this is a very good idea, I'd be all for it. I'm not sure what would even be against it. well, maybe they'd need to fine tune the weighing of speed chess events, open tourneys and invitationals but if they get that right, this could solve all the problems with the Candidates qualification.

How can you not like bullet, the slapstick comedy of chess

>>538010326
Correct. Thinking of chess as a game is actually a bit of a misnomer, it’s more of a science. Just like any scientific field, you need to study to have a clue what you’re talking about, or in this case, how to play. It’s not Candy Crush even if it’s in the same section on the app store.

that's me, I have been very slowly making progress, it's hard to find time as a wagie though
I have a lot of things I want to do with it

>Get cheated against in com blitz, start a new game
>Still fuming, I go back after my first move and message the guy who cheated, telling my current opponent to hold on
>Clock goes down to 1 minute while I go back and forth with this guy, finally just block and get back to my game
>Apologize to my current opponent, explain that I was telling off a cheat
>He's super cool, says no worries, I'll let my clock go down to match yours :)
>Aw thanks you didn't have to
>He wins soon after, and asks for a rematch
>Sure!
>We're chatting back and forth, making jokes about the position being a headache

>>538052051
I thought this game died. I'm surprised it still exists.

Indians are evolving their strategies. They're playing under different flags now. Just got a blatant Russian cheat, started chatting with him sarcastically about how strong he is. His response is
>Indiann are very stronger player

Kasparov scenario: Garry Kasparov’s rating of 2812 is higher than Hikaru’s current 2807. Because FIDE doesn’t apply rating decay, Kasparov could theoretically jump back into the list by playing 40 games in small events like this. That would be wild to see.

>>538066440
0.8 per win

>>538066782
That's honestly not bad at all for stomping a few 1500-2300s

>>538066782
So he could win 35 more games against 1800s and beat Magnus's rating (but it's all over if he concedes a draw)

>>538066440
>>538066782
he could win 20 points playing shitters and surpass Mangus, many people are mad at this farming

>>538067416
>if he concedes a draw
not really he would only lose 4.2 points and the chances of it happening are in the 1 in millions
that 400 point max gap fide rule is retarded

someone take me out of this garbage fucking elo, i don't want to play against people like this, i feel insulted

>>538068448
No, actually you can calculate the chances of it happening based on the theory of Elo ratings, DUMBASS. And it's not close to 1 in millions, FAGGOT.

>>538068627
I'm quite skeptical elo works well as a predictor for massive gaps like this butyeah if you want to be autistic about it on paper the chances of a draw should be roughly 1 in 2500 which I find unbelievably high.
To be desu if we ignore external factors like cheating or health issues(which ofc elo doesn't consider either just pointing it out because you are a pedantic FAGGOT) I'd say even 1 in millions is too generous and the probability of hikaru not winning is simply 0

>>538070740
>because you are a pedantic FAGGOT
uncalled for
I would say the chances are approximately 1 in 2500 times. And not 0 at all actually. That's simply how the game is.

>>538070740
>Hikaru falls asleep during the match and it's a time forfeit
>Hikaru needs to be hospitalized during a match
>Hikaru's relative needs to be hospitalized and he needs to fly there and forfeit the match
Does 1/2500 sound more believable now?

>>538074072
If I played Hikaru 2500 times, I wouldn't win a single time. I would listen to what he has to say.

>>538070740
You don't think even one in a million chance that he blunders some sac with a perpetual?
I think the possibility of a 2100 finding some trick and getting a draw are way better than 1 in 2500

>>538081389
>I think the possibility of a 2100 finding some trick and getting a draw are way better than 1 in 2500
because you don't understand Elo

I spent 15 years studying ELO and in my opinion and the opinion of ALL the experts of the field a 2000 could draw Hikaru more than 1/2500, cope

>>538085957
>because you don’t understand Elo

>>538089023

>>538112040
I've rarely seen this addressed. One anon said he likes dub techno while playing chess.
I usually listen to either techno of some kind or occasionally bach. But I have to pause it once things get intense in the position

>>538105054
He only goes up to 1800, that's not even impressive. I could easily perform the same speedrun
It does look pretty entertaining though

Yes.

I've been staring at this tactic for 3 days and my retarded eyes don't know what to do. Knight sacrifice on f3 does nothing, nothing with taking the rook, nothing with taking the bishop, nothing with taking the knight, what the fuck do I do? I tried every single variation and nothing works. I will never get better at this game. Give me some fucking tip without spoiling so even my retarded brain can find what to do.

>>538059760
That guy is ugly and not white

>>538139975
checks, capture, threats... those ideas that you said (knight sacrifice, taking rook, taking with bishop...) navigate through all of those KEEPING IN MIND, CHECKS, CAPTURES THREATS... calculate an idea completely, try to refute your ideas, and not some vague " yeah it won't work" or like Stephan's faggotry " This looks scary" calculate it, give variations to yourself, demonstrate that it's a bad idea / good idea, prove your ideas ( and refute them too) we have to be objective

>>538141762
That's what I'm doing, and there's refutation to literally everything black can do, and no counter to these refutations. I don't see shit.

>>538149926
I was looking at Bxc3. Bishop takes, Rxd4, exd4, then it's a double attack of a knight and the queen on his bishop, but he just goes back after moving my queen to c5, so that's dumb. I also didn't see any continuation after pawn takes the bishop after Bxc3.
Rook takes d4, I thought about some continuations with the knight takes bishop, or knight to f3 to use the e3 freeing after checking with the queen on g5, but no. So I thought, rook takes, exd4, e3, can I do something there? Didn't see the continuation.
c5 didn't work too, he just takes my rook.
I thought Nf3 straight away doesn't work, because I saw Qg5, Kf1, and thought, what then? But after some time I realized, I just take with the pawn exf3 and he can't really defend from the mate, next move Qg2 will be mate. He can't move anything to defend because e2 is blocked by the pawn, so it will be mate no matter what he does.
So the answer is Nf3, and if gxf3, Qg5, Kf1, exf3, and whatever he does, Qg2#.
If he doesn't take my knight, I can take the rook with the knight. The puzzle ended with me taking the rook with my knight.

I'm a 1200 ccom noob so I can't really play the game very well.

>>538154537
Keep looking... he can defend that mate in two ways...

>>538157265
Sorry for double-posting, I want to help that anon

He doesn't have to go Kf1, that's the right idea but you have to see further

What chesscum rapid rating does a 1100 lichess rapid rating correspond to?

>>538170719
who gives a shit

>>538170905
who gives a shit about you not giving a shit?

>>538170719
Chess.com ratings function by way of a secret ELO in which the algorithm allows the player to grow to a peak by playing players which are on their algorithmic descent, before switching to pairings with players on their algorithmic ascent in order to crash the ELO and send the player to their rating floor, this farming engagement and a continual dopamine flow of letting the number continually change giving the illusion of progress and hence are not real ratings, simply a function of ad revenue

>>538171426
Most likely those are just random fluctuations.

>>538170719
I've never been that low rated but I know that gap is really big at that level, so probably 700

I actually switched from 3+0 to 2+1. A 3+2 game usually takes as long as a 5+0 game. The 2+1 lasts on average about as long as a 3+0 but flagging in clearly won positions is very hard for both parties.

If you play on lichess you are willingly playing against a cheat on an average of every fifth game. Lmao!

I play either 10 or 15 minutes. I am an improoover and want to calculate my shit.

Then I remember and the cycle repeats. In between all this, as long as I’m not thinking oh yeah, I want to try the Sicilian, I’ll get plenty of black games against e4. I don’t know why the universe is doing this to me. It’s been going on for weeks.

This was a setup. The Asian guy was just a random guy she met that night like 1 hour before. They werent boyfriend and girlfriend, thats why he just left without fighting or causing a scene like a normal boyfriend or husband would.
She already knew the white guy prior and planned to meet there that day. Then they secretly recorded the video for their PUA passport bro website to scam money out of white chud passport bros by giving advice on how to pick up girls abroad. That's the backstory.

Lmao keep going, what else happened that night?

>>538221996
You need to do your own research about this incident. It caused national outrage there and was on the national news. The guys were interviewed and had to come clean about what really happened, it was just a stunt to promote their PUA website.
The slut however, her reputation was completely ruined in the country, her life destroyed. No guy wanted to date or marry her as she was now tainted (similar to how white guys don't want to be with white girls that have been with black guys).
She probably has to marry some old bald white sexpat boomer now.

>>538222668
why would I research some gook getting cucked by an aryan bull? it happens every 25 seconds. Its the dream of every asian girl to marry a white guy, no matter how old. Did her a massive favor, if anything. What are the alternatives? Marrying a gook with a 3 inch cock and working in an iphone factory?

>>538223923
I guess to find out it's not a gook getting cucked by an aryan bull, assuming the other guy is not just making shit up. But you are trolling after all.

>>538223923
Because you are the kind of retard that take videos at face value, you are the retard types that the Andrew Tates of the world get rich off.
>Its the dream of every asian girl to marry a white guy, no matter how old.
Yes, that's why there are billions of pure Asians and hardly any hapas.
And by Asian girl do you mean hookers and sluts and used up roasties? Just go to Thailand and witness the "types" of girls walking with white guys kek.

We already have a situation in the USA where there are a shitload of white guys and a small amount of Asian girls that are under high and constant demand from yellowfeverfags, yet the vast majority of asian girls still only permit the small amount of godly Asian seed available in the sexual marketplace to fertilize the precious Asian egg. The majority of Asian girls reject white sperm and deformed hapas that result.

>>538228519
>The majority of Asian girls reject white sperm and deformed hapas that result.
And these are Asian girls in the USA with money and therefore choice.
They are not desperate SEA farm girls who need money to feed their family so take one for the team and marry a white ATMcuck.

>>538228519
what those statistics dont show is that 100% of those gook whores that settled for an asian cuck husband have been railed and passed around by every white guy in sight prior to getting married. They didnt get married because, understandably, the majority of white men don't want their kids to look like ugly gooks
