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

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.

lmao maybe use some of that time to think about if you really want to put your king right between all my pieces, consider advancing those two nice pawns

Chess is life. Finally finding a way to win with black by going sicilian instead of my thouhgtless e5 response.

the good thing about bullet is how weird the positions are the bad part is all the timeouts and that it makes you worse at chess

I enjoy the flexibility and laissez faire that comes with playing lower level opponents. Moon shot strategies suddenly become possible
― calstars, Sunday, 10 July 2022 19:09 (one year ago) link
I'd be interested to see how black's king has ended up on g5 when white's queen, queen's rook and king's cleric are all on their starting squares and the king's rook has apparently just moved for the first time

im still 300+ points worse on bullet than blitz not sure im ever really gonna get it but its pretty fun to play a million games and just never think

Sadly the report doesn't say whether the robot was losing, or not:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62286017
"A robot broke a seven-year-old boy's finger during a chess match in Moscow last week, Russian news outlets report.
"The robot broke the child's finger," Sergey Lazarev, Moscow Chess Federation President, told Tass news agency. "This is of course bad.""
