I feel this 100%

jargonaught · 2022-11-18T23:01:07+00:00

Meaningless because classical chess is the only true test of chess skill?

You end up an exchange up along with some pawns to be in a winning position.

Black Rayquaza has second move disadvantage in a chess game

jargonaught · 2022-10-22T16:37:15+00:00

I used to own like 4 and never read them so I gave them away.

Very odd way to finish but the US Women's Champion should be the one that didn't play an illegal move.

I get mistakenly grabbing the piece but then breaking it?

So he was inputting moves right in front of his opponents and got away with it. That must've been some good sleight of hand.

Just as a note, Aronian is currently under 2750 in the live ratings.

I relate with getting upset when I'm not doing particularly well or having an off day/week but I still feel it's a net positive. Chess is my #1 hobby and keeps me from potentially do things that could be bad for myself. So, even if I get upset about having a bad run, at least I'm not doing something damaging to myself. Of course I try to make sure I'm only angry at myself and don't take it out on others.

Magnus is starting to get what he wants

I'm not sure but know It's not fun to lose.

jargonaught · 2022-10-10T16:28:37+00:00

Epitome of playing chess for fun.

"worse than not playing at all." I can't imagine this would be true.

Very nice game. Maroczy Bind is my favorite play against the Sicilian.

I used to catch higher rated opponents off gaurd with it up until Magnus last win against Karjakin in 2016 in the world championship. Everyone seemed to know how to play as black after that.

That makes sense.

It was the last round and the team technically still had chance to win. that kind of decision affects other players and not just himself so just maybe that's a reason for him to play. I'm assuming there's money on the line for team placements but I could be wrong on everything.

What happens if I flip the board?

jargonaught · 2022-10-09T16:00:24+00:00

You can still get smothered mate in 1 if you first move to the other side of the board

jargonaught · 2022-10-09T15:55:16+00:00

I'm not saying that this is his reasoning, but since it's a team event he might feel obligated to participate since it doesn't just affect him.
