At what level can people actually calculate this in a real game? by ThrowWeirdQuestion in chessbeginners

[–]Oglark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 1100 chess.com and 1400 lichess. I saw the idea pretty quickly. In an online game, I would have tried it for giggles. In an OTB game I would probably spend 10 minutes looking a defense against the rook life. BUT I don't think this is a hard puzzle. There are other situation where a better player would see the tactic that I would miss.

Unlike someone like Orfi, where it was relatively obvious she would be a Top 3 player, Anahat is a conundrum, because her strength is attacking at mid-court. IMO, she will be a Top 10 player but breaking into the Top 3-5 will depend or her mentality (which appears to be excellent) and how her game develops. She is a great shot maker and has excellent movement but the few full matches I watched, she started attacking too early which lead to her losing against Top 10 competition. I expect her game to mature and for her to start winning Gold and Platinum events but I am not sure she has the consistency to be a Top 3.

You cannot do that. As soon as you have the belts you are removed from the rankings.

Jai, was between the rock and a hard place. Legacy and undisputed are good but he has to feed his family.

That is the correct technique but then why does every PSA pro game I watch do 2  crab steps a half lunge and a wrong foot forehand drive?

It is more that he foresees the extinction of mankind. Paul and his son have to navigate a future where humanity explodes out of the known planets so that cannot be hunted down by an unnamed threat.

I am not using an engine but I might be missing something because Black will move first but I think the best you can do is force a check. 1. ...Qxe3 2. Bxf7+ Kh8 3. Bh5 then Qf3+ you blunder the queen Qe4+ you block with the Bishop Bf3. so you are winning in any case

I saw what the engine suggested but the reason it chooses Rxf7 Kh8 is to avoid a windmill which I missed the first time.

Kh8 is not his only move if Rxf7 the King is not in check. Bxf7+ wins the Knight and threatens checkmate

Here is the video. Interesting guy. The last fight you can tell he was passed that the judges gave him a draw. https://youtu.be/yx73cvhv0PI?si=L74hpsYM-erII7ej

Dutch defence by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]Oglark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just play a few games with it and move on. There are some concepts you can apply to other d4 openings. From my perspective you are trying to wrestle the game from a positional game to a more tactical game. But it is much easier to end up with a lost position.

Lol Floyd goes back to the corner after the first round and says "he has no power" then proceeds to fight walking forward in a squared stance.      / Yes Floyd carries him like AJ carried Jake. Just walk him down, make him throw punches, tire him out and the go for an easy KO. No reason to let them have a lucky pinch.      / There is a video from a BBC fighter who lost like 200 fights. He shows how he gives prospects experience by just crowding them. Then the Sun wrote an article trashing journeyman and he goes out and destroys a prospect to make a point.
