My new foolproof way to beat the london (in blitz and bullet at least). Just take the pawn on b2, then go put my queen back on d8, don't move my light square bishop and chill letting the london cuck try to find an active plan in his dogshit setup while i will win every endgame. Literally works every time

>>553045935
karjakin is no longer a chess player, his career is over. He was washed up years ago and has played just two classical rated games in the last 4 years.

Daniel was one of the best coaches and commentators. I remember watching his commentary and laughing at his hilarious puns. I was fortunate to attend the Charlotte Chess Camp in 2023, where he was one of the coaches. He gave us puzzles, and his explanations made something that is usually boring feel incredibly exciting and alive.

His kindness stretched for miles. He was a truly gentle and generous soul. Rest in peace, Daniel. The chess world will remember you.

karjakin isn't even a chess player. For sucking on putin's 2 incher, karjakin is now Senator of Occupied Crimea (the very first thing Russia invaded back in 2014.) If he were to play chess now he'd get humiliated and come in 30th place and be a laughing stock, so karjakin pretends he can't play without a certain flag graphic.

>>553080565
This is reddit ass cope, Karjakin’s had the same stance since he was removed from Candidates a few years ago. It’s not something he adapted because he’s hiding something. And taking a break from the game isn’t all that detrimental, see Radjabov.

Boomers always talk shit between games. Older gen autists are built different, they couldn't afford not to mask.

Depends on how serious the club you go to is. Mine hosts casual OTB tournaments all the time, but since the club is the most competitive in the country with a shit ton of titled players, even the amateur boomer improovers don't talk much in between games and take the whole thing very seriously.

Thank you Danya for all you did for the chess world and for our son, Kai; his educational content and streaming helped inspire Kai’s passion of chess and taught him so so much.

It's the least dynamic of the four major openings. Many people take it up so they can get a familiar, passive, "solid" position and just sit there in the hopes that they can trade down to a better endgame. It encourages lazy and cowardly play. At least the French and Sicilian are fighting openings that try for an advantage even if they aren't the best black defense.

The only correct response to 1.e4 is 1...e5

Most of /chess/ loves Russia and hates Ukraine. They know that Kramnik is Russoid stooge so they love him. Really no more complicated than that.

I looked up the game, and Gukesh was 10 years old on the 21st of February, 2017 when the game was played with Esserman.

75 is fucking nuts. What a kike whore. There are IMs in my country offering lessons for like 10€/h, and FMs for as low as 5€/h. And these are official website prices. They'd probably go even lower if you message them and ask kindly.

Alexander Alekhine had a cat named chess
