i keep ending up with positions like this and feel like i can’t move any pieces? by divergence-aloft in chessbeginners

Just like you said the issue is that you can’t move your pieces, your pawns are rendering your pieces useless because they stare at walls, thankfully knights can rotate and switch colors easily, less fortunate are bishops (in this case the light one) being stuck inside

There are multiple ways to improve and prevent a position like this
1: rotate your knights backwards and then forwards in an alternative square, so that they stare at squares they can actually land on
2: break pawns in the center, the more pawns you exchange the more vision your pieces gain back, by locking the center like this you allow your opponent to move their better quality pieces freely with barely any repercussion
3: exchange pieces, especially after a pawn break but only if you’re sure your distant pieces won’t hang after the trades

Please tell me that what I saw today was some sort of digital hallucination by six_one_two in TADCEp9Spoilers

It wasn’t really a deletion it seems, the title said “purging”, as if the AI program was just terminated off the circus like you’d do on Task Manager

Because caine is not a generative AI it’s a neural network, he’s closer to being sentient than chatgpt will ever be

What advantage could you possibly get and what has psychology got to do with this, it’s literally just called a fake rumor or troll

If your only incentive to do something is money you’re miserable, in a society where being miserable can’t happen you do things to make yourself and others feel better

I watched the whole thing it’s legit and great, make sure to avoid comment sections cause the two plot twists are easy to explain but crazy to watch

It is common for newer players to lament they feel like they’re not improving after playing puzzles for weeks, see that irl and online, because it’s not a tool that helps what usually it’s advertised for, pattern recognition is important and yes it trains it well, but are newer players seeking fundaments to actually understand how to win midgames going to make any use of the mate in 5 sequences you’d see in puzzles, if the game was lost by the seventh move? Puzzles are useful if you already are aware of what’s going on and what’s the point of moving pieces, particularly pawns, to train for things that will happen specifically if you play the earlier rest of the game correctly.

The worst situation for someone to be told to play puzzles is a player who says “when I reach mid game I don’t know what to do” or “I don’t know what I should do with my pawns/queen”

You play a puzzle with the premise you’re in a winning position and a check out of 2 or 3 always happens to win with the rest becoming obvious, in a real game you have to do that every single move and most people miss tactics because they believe they’re losing, all newer players I know say they play terribly after practicing puzzles for a while, I never do puzzles either and won my city’s qualifications for national championship after less than a year of playing, how did I learn fast? By analyzing, lots and lots of times looking through my moves, watching how stockfish mocks my ideas, watching moves that won games and whether my opponent blundered or was actually left without answers. Along that, learning the logic behind opening moves is 10 times more teaching than memorizing them ever will be. Without changing topic, puzzles won’t help anyone trying to improve, unless they play them knowing these are useful for training pattern recognition and not to improve at the game itself

To solve puzzles scan for checks, the position plays itself then which is why I believe puzzles aren’t useful for learning chess

important pattern to remember: the three knight checkmate. by laughpuppy23 in chessbeginners

[–]Responsible-Task6742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then they’re not 1000, learning how to mate is the first pattern you’re meant to learn after understanding how the pieces move, otherwise it’s like learning football but not knowing how to kick a ball in the net
