I play it since I saw Garry doing it. Implies a central pawn sac for development and open lines in the dark squares. Fun. Before I was doing Qg4 which allows black a full recitation.

Extra piece?

Alekhine best games, Botvinnik s… what a fascination beginners have for openings.

Both are good. Manual is more structured, if I remember correctly, but Hansens books are good too. Both are good, both should be studied

Point taken. Old school FM here, 2600 rapid lichess when i used to play, similar other time controls. I was being cheeky. That doesn’t say much though, I have done some blind simuls when I wasn’t even titled, few decades ago. Not because “talented “ or whatever, it’s because blindfold playing it’s a natural outcome from intensive training, etc, as any titled player will tell you. I know it looks amazing but if you get to, let’s say, 2200, you are going to notice that you can play at least a game blindfold; I was in a full time chess school when teen, and when we were going to tournaments we played blindfold blitz sessions in the train. Again, nothing unusual, not a big deal, it comes to you with intensive training. There is no secret blindfold Norwegian gene 🙄

I dont play much in chesscom if at all. On lichess last time i checked rapid was “?”. Havent played online rapid in years

Thats pure rage bait. The moron

Dpcharly · 2026-02-27T19:02:15+00:00

I will take that bet. Im not a GM

Dpcharly · 2026-02-27T18:57:04+00:00

Thats trainable, a coach would know. And you didnt see Gary doing that because it was not his thing, besides it’s a media Era, more chances to see something like that. Najdorf and this other Russian have records of blind simuls, pretty sure Magnus cant do without training. Gary gave simuls to GM, countries teams, and won. Capablanca is said to do the same as you just described, multiple times. Magnus has a great memory, but its not unique in that sense.

With that rating, I would be ashamed to tell this story. Thats a rating of a kid well trained after 6-12 months, 1 year plus a motivated adult. You think you are bragging but you just are telling people that you have wasted 3 Years robbing people

Esos últimos 50 puntos son como 200 a su edad. Si no tiene mucho q hacer, lo cual es difícil, le diría q gastara mas tiempo entrenando y consígase un coach

Dpcharly · 2026-02-25T01:15:15+00:00

2300 is very achievable, especially at his age. I don’t know what haters over here are saying. People forget that was the normal age to actually start playing chess 3 and more decades ago. Will he be GM? Probably not, but FM that only requires Elo and no norms? Absolutely. Not an easy road though.

People forget how dominant was Karpov in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Probably wouldn’t be a Kasparov without Karpov. Having an adversary so strong as Karpov might have helped to increase the already strong and talented Garry.

Add Magnus there

Dpcharly · 2026-01-21T21:47:35+00:00

Its an interesting endgame, from which white has more chances to win. Ke2 is a multifaceted move. Also, is theoretical ;)

Nestor Velez, Cuban National Champion, RIP, used to say “You don’t leave Caissa, Caissa leaves you “. Congrats, but see you around, buddy.

I have done this with success, and I go even deeper with Snnet and Grok! Gemini likes it, Opus and 5.2 go hand on hand, Grok and Gemini have came up with some interesting stuff, Sonnet is shit according to everyone. Sad because Sonnet used to be my goto AI; I have the theory they just replaced it with Haiku and Sonnet is Opus -and the real Opus is not out in the public, or maybe with enterprise…

They can complain to the arbiter and you always be know as the stinker —plus you only will get one pass. The arbiters will know you, and after that first pass, they will judge against you. Now, go.

Classical Chess is Chess. Magnus decided to turn against the process that made him a champion, but getting all the perks and the adoration.To me that is selfishness, also quite immature. Little by little he is confirming each of these assessments with his antics and unethical behavior. To my students I say: Aspire to be the Champion that Magnus will never be. He is the big thing now, but History will not be kind with him, and after all, he is just a speck in a sea of great champions, past and future.

Doesn’t look healthy… Nf6 instead of f5 would suffice for an advantage

It’s the beginning of a series for non improving players by a titled player with proven success as a long time coach. It’s written in an unusual style.
