I see limited value in training very hard puzzles that take 15+ minutes to solve. I tried that once and made no improvements over the course of four months. I went back to easier puzzles I should be able to get in 5 minutes mostly. That helped more. If i compare the tactics i actually find in games vs the ones i solve in puzzles, the complexity gap between the too should be so massive. So very slow increase in puzzle difficulty is the plan.

Taking that long is bad if you can't think of a single idea that might work, but if you can already "sort of see something" and you just need to calculate things precisely then these hard puzzles can be a great training tool for visualizing patterns several moves in advance

the danish is comfy as shit bros. Unless you play into it black is always pretty much just worse. You only need to memorize one long line if your opponent decides to be cute. Every move is really intuitive and 9/10 times your opponent will straight up crumble under the pressure.
It's just brute force calculation.
Any other sharp gambits that heavily railroad your opponent into playing them if they want to keep their advantage that don't require a lot of theory?

I tried to play with a novelty set like this once. It's surprisingly hard to calculate when the piece type isn't plainly obvious from all angles. Towards the middle game I stopped looking at the board and tried to do all calculations in my mind.

This doesn't sound like something that actually happens
Maybe adults who do a bunch of tactics, get a high provisional rating (like 2200 tops) and then decide that their 'true strength' is 2500, but of course they won't play and prove it because of cheaters etc.

I think I remember some anon here saying he respected Stjepan because he was pretty good academically, maybe had some anthropology degree or was accepted to some nice graduate program? But anyway, afaik, he's presumed to have above average intelligence.
As far as aptitude for the game, yeah, it's pretty negligible

It's possible for midwits to do well in academic or "intellectual" careers purely on the back of studying, the reason that doesn't translate to chess is because chess is both a science and an art and there's too much room for intuition. You can convince the world you're not a midwit through career and education but not through chess, if you actually are one. Stepjan's main problem has always been that no matter how much he studies theory, once he's actually over the board he just doesn't have that extra something to see good moves on his own, and starts making random "reasonable" moves.

I generally agree with this but it depends on who composed it and what kind of thought went in to it. If you play the chess com daily you're going to run in to a lot of feel good garbage composed by their resident hack. He loves creating problems where, with best play, you win material and a clear advantage. Instead he sets it up so it's just mate in 3. I used to play the daily every day there. The hack composer stole my time on too many problems, calculating long lines and checking for complications only for the puzzle to just roll over and die when I actually put moves on the board.

I complained about this several times in their comments section. An army of apologists always converged to explain that actually composing like this is acceptable, is not lazy, my time is not being wasted because calculating all that stuff was good educational exercise, and that com daily puzzles are truly peak quality at all times.

It was said in the context of adult improvers and even then I think most gms are above average intelligence, not super geniuses like popculture portraits them but fairly smart, for example magnus seems like the ultimate normie but he has a godlike memory and seemingly very good business sense, Fabi comes across as very rational and objective if you listen to his podcast
I wonder why you picked those names specifically though Giri acts like a clown and we know very little of keymer outside of chess

I've played both. The Schliemann is more tactical, but a little less sound than the Open Spanish. If you like crazy positions, go for the Schliemann. Also another reason to go for the Schliemann is to avoid the Exchange, Anderssen, Wormald, etc, so in that regard the Schliemann is more forcing.

low level players are always inconsistent and their performance depends heavily on mood, concentration, whether they're actively tryharding or just playing to relax, whether they get into a familiar position etc. you can play for tricks a lot of the time and players will vary widely in terms of their knowledge.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Yeah I’m a big fan of Sports. Chess as well. I think that there is a lot of crossover potential between the two, but not necessarily in how it’s setup now. Just looking forward to the World Rapid and Blitz championships for now desu!

God gave me a holly jolly Christmas me lads, so I'll share some knowledge with you.

--
There are five kinds of mental modifications which are either painful or painless.

They are right knowledge, misconception, verbal delusion, sleep, and memory.

The sources of right knowledge are direct perception, inference, and scriptural testimony.

Misconception occurs when knowledge of something is not based upon its true form.

An image that arises on hearing mere words without any reality [as its basis] is verbal delusion.

That mental modification supported by cognition of nothingness is sleep.

When a mental modification of an object previously experienced and not forgotten comes back to consciousness, that is memory.

These mental modifications are restrained by practice and non-attachment.

Of these two, effort toward steadiness of mind is practice.

As far as gambits go, it's a fairly respectable gambit. Stockfish gives equality for black in the mainlines. A lot of lines lead to forced draws too, which might be why it's avoided at the top.

This Christmas has been a reality-shattering experience for many of us gay chess players as we grapple with the harsh truth that corporate marketing often masquerades as genuine support. The bright colors the inclusive advertisements and the empty promises felt like a warm embrace only to reveal themselves as hollow gestures that ultimately leave us feeling isolated and alone. It’s disheartening to realize that for all the fanfare these corporations often don’t truly care about our struggles and joys. Yet amidst this disillusionment I found solace in the authenticity of Levy, who has consistently shown that he genuinely care about chess and us. His heartfelt engagement and commitment to uplift voices like ours have turned what could have been a lonely Christmas into a reminder that true connection exists beyond the corporate facade. It’s these moments of genuine support that light up the darkness reminding us that we are not alone in our journeys.

Well, I'm most annoyed when he interrupts guests on his podcast with dumb questions. But he comes off as a dumb normalfag whenever he talks about something unrelated to chess. I don't mean in this a rude way. There's a bunch of other shit too that I'm not going to bother listing; just listen to any of his podcasts and you'll understand what I mean.
If you start playing at a young enough age, chess sort of compartmentalizes itself in your brain in the same way a language does. That's why why kids - regardless of their intelligence - are able to pick up and become fluent in a language through natural exposure.

Chirila is a very strange case for me in this regard. To me he presents as a standard dude, kind of dude I might work with or attended some elective in college with. Not particularly smart or notably stupid. Social. Attractive. Line of girlfriends over the years. Then I try to parse this with the fact that Cristian is a GM. A weak one but that's still a fuck hard title to get. Standard dudes don't make GM. His closest peer is probably Aman Hambleton and, at least to me, Aman has more of the subtle quirks I expect of GMs. Aman is a little nutty if you dig past the presentable exterior. Even further to the point, Chirila somehow stumbled in to a position as second for one of the strongest GMs of this generation. How did he even get that job?

It's like this guy just succeeds over and over by accident and lucky circumstance.

Same for current China and India. New players come in due to big state sponsorship. Western countries only ones who don't have big state funding for chess.

I see people here say this all the time, but do you realise how many people played chess as kids and didn't get good? Millions. For every kid that became a GM, there are millions who didn't, so to say "just start young" is BS. A guy at my club started playing chess at 4 years old and his rating topped out at 2100 FIDE. His parents wanted him to become a champion, but he couldn't even get a CM title. He had coaches, trainers and all sorts of other resources. According to people like you, he should be world champ, right? It's just as easy as starting as a kid..

What the FUCK is up with this shit? Everybody I checked had rapid ratings multiple hundreds lower than mine, like at least 400 lower yet they were BTFO'ing me even in positions I know well (compared to them anyway) I played the Ruy four times and every time a different opponent put their knight on d4 once I put the bishop out. Is it cheating? Or super autism? Explain this shit.

You gotta practise to get better at blitz. Blitz is less about calculating full lines and more about making intuitive moves. You do obviously have to calculate a little bit, but you can't sit there and calculate for almost every turn like you can with rapid. As a general rule: if someone has a better faster time control than their slow time control ratings, they're probably not cheating as it's a little bit more difficult to cheat at bullet, for example, than it is to cheat at rapid. This is the opposite of what you see with people like lordbentham who has a bad blitz rating, but a good rapid rating.

Regardless of whether or not that is true, it will hurt his image if he doesn’t win this championship, especially because he is no longer dealing with the pressure of defending the classical world title

This may just be exposing myself as an autistic retard but do different openings give you a certain "feeling" of being in its unique setting?

>play Dutch: it's like I'm in a park setting
>play London: it's like an outdoor industrial setting
>play English: it's like I'm in a field
>play KID and its like im in a boxing ring

That's not super accurate but the closest I can explain it. Its not like I see theses places, but perhaps just feels like im in it. Anyone else?

It's checkmate in 2 but 50 moves were played without a capture or a pawn move meaning its a draw by "the 50 move rule". With even one more move, hikaru would have captured the rook, resetting the 50 moves, and its mate on the next move. But it's automatically a draw instead, even though the opponent is being checkmated on the board

It’s not a controversial rule. The longest endgame to win is knight and bishop vs king which I think can be done in 40 moves or so.
Bishop and rook vs rook is an objective draw, the player just got in trouble in the end

Day two of playing superblitz because I love being tilted and it's won by a new account with under 900 blitz rating. A great addition to the guy who won yesterday who had 2000 bullet rating, 1200 blitz, and 900 rapid. I'm convinced blitz isn't even chess at this point, it's just watching some youtube video and memorising it and playing it as quick as you can because there's no way you can be literal beginner tier at rapid yet 2000 bullet or 1300 blitz, even if it is lichess.

Fide rules say:

9.3 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by a player having the move, if:

9.3.1 he/she indicates his/her move, which cannot be changed, by writing it on the paper scoresheet or entering it on the electronic scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his/her intention to make this move which will result in the last 50 moves by each player having been made without the movement of any pawn and without any capture, or

9.3.2 the last 50 moves by each player have been completed without the movement of any pawn and without any capture.

Meaning that you could claim draw at any point during the game where the preceding 50 moves satisfy the rule even if it's been more than 50 moves without capture or pawn move, but once there is a pawn move or capture, the counter gets reset and you can't claim draw anymore.
It's not like illegal moves where the position can get reset to the state before the move because not claiming a 50 move draw (or a threefold repetition) isn't illegal.

Whoa that desperate flailing and attempts at setting up something a 1200 might fall for reminds me of my games.

i more meant if you could lose a blitz game then check the scoresheet and realize it was actually won on the 51st move since last capture, and dispute it with arbiters to get it turned into a draw

Obviously not. You can't claim 50 move draw retroactively even when the game is still going, so there's no reason you'd be able to claim it after it's finished.

didn't FIDE recently change the rules based on the results of endgame tablebases, allowing up to 75 or 100 moves for specific endgames?

(and be glad we aren't playing Thai Makruk. That game has extremely autistic and demanding move counting rules that take the specific types of remaining material into account for pawnless endgames, making an already drawish game even more drawish.)

When you do poorly in a tournament, you get paired with other people who are doing poorly in the tournament.
I know it's difficult to understand, you fucking faggot bitch.

i predict that in a year magnus won't even be moving his own pieces anymore, he will have an assistant that does it for him while he's taking a sauna with alireza.

Most of this general is composed of OOPs who have never played in a real life tournament and don't know how a swiss system works. Give them a break anon.

Please give me examples of middle game positions where a player is up a lot of material (2 pieces or more) but is slightly worse or worse

Middle game, mind you. Not opening traps

Tal vs Bobotsov 1958
This position is -0.5 (and even worse for white if he doesn't accept the queen).

Quoted By:

As a gay chess player I often find myself navigating a double-edged sword of stress. Playing chess on the board can be incredibly intense; the pressure to make the right moves, anticipate my opponent's strategies, and maintain focus is overwhelming at times. But then there's the stress of being a gay chess player off the board where societal expectations and the fear of judgment can weigh heavily. Thankfully, I draw inspiration from the amazing role models in the professional chess community. Just as I expand my chess repertoire by studying the games of grandmasters, I also find ways to broaden my social repertoire by observing how they navigate their own identities and challenges. Their success and courage help me cope with my own stress reminding me that both the chessboard and life are about strategy, resilience, and the beauty of being true to oneself.

What do you think about Stoyko exercises?

>Find a fairly complicated position
>Get out a pen/pencil and paper
>You have unlimited time
>Write down every (pertinent) line for as deep as you can see, making sure to include an evaluation at the end of the line. This will likely include dozens of lines and several first ply candidate moves.
>At the end state which move you would play and it’s “best play for both sides” line becomes the PV
>When you are done, go over each line and its evaluation with a strong player and/or a computer. Look for lines/moves you should have analyzed but missed, any errors in visualization (retained images, etc.), any lines where you stopped analyzing too soon, thus causing a big error in evaluation (quiescence errors), any large errors in evaluation of any line, whether the above caused you to chose the wrong move etc.

Middlegames arising from the Vukovic gambit variation of the ponziani opening. Not an opening trap.

That sounds really fun desu, I might give it a try. Although, I'm not sure how to avoid selecting positions that turn out to be 'boring' to analyze
