the opening explorer/tablebase tool is good for analysis too, particularly if youre having trouble with a particular opening position, cool to see what other people have done an learn that youre playing the 20th most popular move and it always loses lol

Up a queen in the endgame and the Norwegian won’t capitulate

I’m fairly certain that my current opponent online is running the game through a computer. He’s ranked 400 points lower than me but seems to be very cunning

I like how nobody cares about the actual World Championship as much as about Firouzja

My first thought was that white is absolutely fucked but looking at it some more they might just be able to hang in there

― hrep (H.P), Sunday, 9 January 2022 01:40 (two years ago) link

― lag∞n, Monday, 10 January 2022 15:23 (two years ago) link
when i started playing there four years ago these number were typically three thousand and nine thousand, not sure how much of the growth is due to a chess craze and how much is just the site getting more popular

I love it when chess.com tells me I'm playing some niche opening. Excited to be playing the "Sicilian Defense: Open, Pelikán and Sveshnikov, Retreat Variation" today.
