>>585947351In truth I don’t mind most of the Indian players. Pragg, Arjun and Vidit seem cool. And even then I’m only annoyed by Gukesh because he’s a fake champion but even then that’s mostly Magnus’ fault (rest is Fabi’s) for screwing everything up.

I've taken to developing multiple personalities depending on the character of my opponent. If I'm black and white plays a gambit, I play like Karpov. This usually pisses them off and they blunder overextending. If I'm white and black is blasting out book moves within 1-2s, I play a weird sideline. Last time I opened with 1. e4 black played out the whole Najdorf in 4 seconds. After they played a6 I played Qd3 and they sat there for 90 seconds. Won on time there even though the ending position was equal.

>>586047624>close everything down and do nothingThat's what "people" who don't play e4 want though
Stjepan has a new series where he is going to play e4, Dutch, and Sicilian lolLet's see how long it lasts...
Imagine opening 1. d4 in 2026. Imagine looking at a perfectly good king's pawn, the pawn Bobby Fischer called "best by test," and deciding instead to push the boring one. You didn't choose an opening. You chose a nap.Every d4 player I've ever met has the same energy: beige walls, a favorite spreadsheet, and a strong opinion about the correct way to load a dishwasher. You don't want to play chess. You want to file paperwork against your opponent for 40 moves until they resign out of sheer boredom. "Positional understanding," you call it. No. It's cowardice with a rating.1. e4 opens TWO pieces: the queen AND the bishop. 1. d4 opens the queen and the bishop too, but WORSE, because now your king's bishop is sitting there like a kid nobody picked for dodgeball. And don't tell me "the pawn is protected." Protected from WHAT? Fun? Excitement? The very concept of a sacrifice?Then you play the London. Every. Single. Game. Bf4, e3, c3, Nd2, against literally anything. Your opponent could resign on move one and you'd still play Bf4 out of muscle memory. You've memorized six moves and called it a repertoire. Magnus didn't grind his whole life so you could build the same pawn triangle every Tuesday at 1100 Elo."But the top grandmasters play d4!" Yes, and top grandmasters also wear suits to sit in a chair for six hours. You're not a top grandmaster. You're in your kitchen in sweatpants, playing 3+0, avoiding the Sicilian like it owes you money.And the Queen's Gambit? It's not even a gambit. You get the pawn back. That's not a gambit, that's a LOAN. The Netflix show lied to you and you fell for it.1. e4 is a war cry. 1. d4 is a polite email that starts "Per my last message."Push the king's pawn. Live a little. Or keep playing d4 and enjoy your 87th consecutive draw by repetition, you absolute accountant.
>>586047794As a benkochad I really enjoy when they never take on b5 until I play a6, expecting I'll recapture... not today sucka!

Really hate when people play well and get instantly accused it’s really toxic.
>>586097710Sometimes you get accused of cheating, while your opponent made like 7 blunders
>>586098313Strategic blunders of course lol
>>586098367What's it called when a move is made that threatens a capture, and only if the other side make a move that defends against that capture, this then allows for pressure to be applied somewhere because the piece that moved to prevent the first capture cannot prevent the second?
Anyone still slaying and playing?
>>586098619I’m drunk bro that’s too many words haha
>>586098646Stopped playing because I made a blunder in a game and got upset. Enough chess for today.
>>586098819Would anyone with a sufficiently thorough understanding of chess terminology, whether a seasoned grandmaster, a dedicated club player, a knowledgeable coach, or a well-read student of the game's extensive tactical literature, be so kind as to enlighten me as to the precise and properly recognized name for that particular, rather cunning, and frequently decisive tactical phenomenon in which one player deliberately and intentionally executes a move whose primary, most immediately apparent, and seemingly straightforward purpose is to create a direct and credible threat of capturing one of the opponent's pieces or pawns, thereby effectively compelling that opponent, should they reasonably wish to avoid suffering the corresponding loss of material, to respond with a carefully chosen defensive move specifically intended to parry, block, guard against, or otherwise neutralize the originally threatened capture, whereupon, and crucially only as a direct and unavoidable consequence of that very defensive response having actually been played upon the board, a second, previously concealed, or at least less obvious opportunity then arises for the first player to apply significant and sustained pressure, or indeed to launch an entirely fresh threat, at some altogether different point or square elsewhere on the board, precisely because the very piece that was moved in order to guard against the original capture has now become overburdened, displaced, or otherwise rendered fundamentally incapable of simultaneously defending against this subsequent and secondary threat as well, such that the unfortunate defending side ultimately finds itself quite unable to adequately address both of these dangers at one and the same time, and is consequently forced to concede some meaningful form of advantage, be it material, positional, or otherwise, to the attacking side?

comfy thread
>>586111629oomfy thread
So I read through the first game of Logical Chess and what I learned is that you shouldn't waste tempi moving pawns in the opening and you really shouldn't move the pawns in front of your king. Develop pieces unless there's a very good reason for why you're pushing a pawn.

>>586099058Most esteemed and admirably thorough inquirer, it is with considerable pleasure, and no small appreciation for the meticulous precision with which you have framed your question, that I offer, as a humble yet earnest student of the royal game, the answer you so diligently seek. The tactical phenomenon you describe is most commonly and properly recognized as overloading: a single defending piece, burdened with more defensive responsibilities than it can reasonably or simultaneously fulfill, is ultimately revealed to be fundamentally inadequate to the task of guarding against both threats at one and the same time.In the interest of completeness and scholarly rigor, your description also bears a strong and unmistakable kinship with the closely related motif known as deflection. There the initial threat serves primarily to lure, entice, or compel a defending piece away from a critical square or duty it was previously and quite necessarily performing, thereby leaving that square, piece, or line woefully unprotected.These two concepts so frequently intertwine within a single combination that many annotators, commentators, and authors of tactical manuals employ them almost interchangeably. Others, of a more pedantic disposition, insist upon a careful distinction between a piece that is merely overburdened in place and one that has been actively drawn away.Should you wish to pursue the matter further, you might profitably consult discussions of the broader category of the double threat, of which this cunning stratagem may reasonably be considered a particularly refined and elegant subspecies.
This is how we Grob.Guess my ELO based on this game.
>>5861817761000No blunders but you have no understanding of structures and positioning

Always trade everything
If you trade, make sure you are paid.
If you don't know what move to make, develop the least active piece to a better square.

The most fun way to learn openings is to watch a youtube video on it or two, then just start playing it and if you don't remember a move use stockfish assistance. You can learn while having fun, and sooner or later you'll just learn the best moves naturally.
>>586318489kys I mean it

>>586346003If I could take it back I think I wouldn't have mirrored castling queenside. I wasn't playing very carefully but thinking about it my king was safe kingside and the pawns there would have been much more defensible if my king had remained in that quadrant of the board. It also would have made for a more fighting game.
>>586347838>https://lichess.org/game/qcmxduEZActually the game was more interesting than I thought, I wasn't completely losing until 30.Kxe4. Which I didn't spend a lot of time on and was hyper-focused on making a connected pawn duo in the center but it's so stupid it just clean hangs a knight and two pawns.
