Chess - Path towards World Chess Championship (Gukesh Dommaraju vs Ding Liren)

sherdog is not big on chess i guess as it feels like i'm the only one in this thread and i'm flooding it up, but as long as someone else here is as amused with my shit then it's all worth it to me.

i've claimed another victim to my bullshit you guys. poor donnie, he had the deck stacked well in his favor after i done fuckered up, but instead of rage quitting like most people would have done, i decided to add another entry into the Art Of The Draw handbook that i've been working on.

after 2 or 3 missed opportunities to mate me i knew how this one was gonna go. so to save me and my opponent some time i gave him the opportunity to respectfully accept a draw. he prompty declined. then it was on like donkey kong and 2 moves later i imposed my will on him.

he should have been the one begging and pleading for a draw from the moment i threw up the bongcloud. from then on in all i did was dogwalk my king aimlessly around the board while literally handing this guy all of my pieces and this guy still couldn't muster up the testicular fortitude needed to defeat me. how embarrassing!


i'm having a giggle over here. i didn't think that i would be able to get away with this kind of horse shit at this level. that was one of the worst games i've ever played but it ultimately ended up in the best outcome imaginable. magnus would be proud! though i'm sure my opponent probably wants to tombstone me.
 


i see a quote to my post but i dont see any text. this new forum layout sucks.
 
me and some other polish dude ended up deadlocked in what has became the tightest game of chess that i've ever played. i didn't know what to do to solve my opponents defense, and i'm pretty sure that he didn't know how to get through mine either. after threatening some of his pieces but never getting anywhere after the tactical retreat i decided to offer up a draw and my opponent agreed to accept. take a look at the board lol. after playing for a good while the only thing we were able to capture from each other was a single pawn because every other attack would have resulted in complete disaster for the attacker.

art of the draw baby! like seriously though, what the hell am i supposed to do here? i can't fucking move anywhere! but neither can he! i believe that i might have encountered my doppleganger.

holy shit. by over 3 times the points of the 2'nd place guy, i won the crystal division at chess.com last week with all of my bullshit, and now i got promoted to the elite division. but i gotta say, my bullshit is not very elite. i'm just out to fuck with people and half the games i lose because people know how to capitalize off of my shit.

first place bitches! hail to the king baby!

after winning the crystal division i think i might start taking this seriously and playing for real and perhaps i can win the elite division too. this feels like a crowning achievement to me. i've now officially accomplished something in the world of chess other than receiving death threats, 1 hour chat bans, and derogatory insults in foreign languages. i got my name out there boys!

but then i start winning and making it into the 400-500 rankings and start getting my clock cleaned. i'm having more fun smashing noobs and its harder for me to pull off my horse shit against better players.

god damn, looking at the leaderboards and i'm also leading by a landslide in the elite division this week too. i've won so many games because people fuck up and rage quit within the first minute that i could probably just stop playing this week and i'll still probably win this shit.


i have to finish first in the elite division instead of the top 3 to advance to the final champions league. but i'm already 5 times ahead of everybody else.

wait a minute, there's only like 60 people in here what the fuck? is everybody else in the wood or champions leagues? i thought there were like millions of people playing this shit? surely i'm not some kind of chess prodigy that made it farther than everybody else this year. my ELO is dogshit i'm finally back at 418 and now i gotta start tanking games again to continue my noob stomping. there's no way that i'm better than like 99.9% of the playerbase. i'm not sure what's going on. but all i know is i'm the #1 ranked guy in the elite league by a landslide....but there's only like 60 other people playing rapid who made it this far?!?

whatever, i'm gonna take whatever achievements and bragging rights that i can get. that's right bitches. none of these other elites are worthy of drinking the broth from my jockstrap. i'm on the brink of becoming a chess champion!

even though i didn't play alot this week and i lost a bunch of games. i'm still about to win the elite league this week by a god damn landslide. then i move to the champions division. might be one of my greatest crowning achievements in the world of chess since i offered one dude a draw and then he resigned.
 
MilfHunter4000 was currently leading the champion division. with a name like that i don't know, i might just let him have it this week.


edit: nah. sorry milf hunter but i think i'll have to pass you. gotta get my ass into the legend division so i can play where the big boys play.

soon as i make legends division i'm starting every opening as white with my very own patented bongcloud + wayward king attack. i don't care how many times i fail, i am absolutely going to make a victim out of somebody and they are never going to want to play chess again.

i'm about an hour or two away from cleaning out the champions division and becoming a chess legend. my crowning achievement in life. i came. i conquered. i hung my queen.

i think i might just hang them up after this fellas as there's nothing left for me to accomplish in the world of chess except throwing up a bongcloud at magnus and then making him resign after declining my draw offer.
 
meet sunny yoon. a legendary chess guru from greece. this greasy bastard right here had bitten off more than he could chew.

after tactically sacrificing all of my other pieces, sonny over here decided to make the grave misfortune of trying to attack my king. well, just moments away from becoming a chess legend myself, i know very well how this game is played and how this is going to go down.

sunny on the other hand, maybe not so much. feeling sorry for him, i gave him an opportunity to save face by offering him a draw.

well, instead of accepting my draw offer like any reasonable chess master would, good ole' sunny yoon decided to decline my offer and then instinctively hang his queen in a display of submission.

completely shaken over my alpha king sonning his queen, sunny yoon decided to dick around with his bishop for too long when his only shot at redemption was getting his pawn down the aisle as quick as he could, to avoid becoming another entry into The Art Of The Draw.

alas, sunny just didn't have it in him. art of the draw baby!
 
i finally did it....i made a glorious queen sacrifice!

although it didn't go over exactly the way i had envisioned. i didn't forsee her bishop getting into the line of my attack and that threw a monkey wrench in my plans. so then i decided to unceremoniously sacrifice my bishop, because fuck you that's why.

even though all hope may have already been lost, seeing that king pinned over in the cucks corner was far too enticing for me to not keep going after.

so what did i do? i did what any chess legend would do after exchanging their queen and their bishop for a rook, and i gave up my rook in exchange for her bishop and her being in a much more advantageous position, and my dreams of the easy checkmate becoming dead. sounds like a fair trade....said no chess player ever!

bye bye queen. bye bye bishop. bye bye rook. i just clowned myself. i moved up my pawn to block one of their pawns, awaiting my fate in a game i quickly squashed my opportunity of winning. the dream is now dead....or not!

after all the exchanges ensued apparently my opponent must have still been completely oblivious as to just how vulnerable her king was and where i was trying to attack from. so after moving my pawn up to b4, she decided that her best move to make was to threaten my pawn, which was not going anywhere and was absolutely no threat to anything.

well, sadly for her she wouldn't be using that queen to capture that pawn. instead she would be surrendering her queen to me while her king sat in the corner and waited for his turn to be mated.

i hope little miss lia cried salty tears of unfathomable sadness when she realised just how embarassingly she was about to lose that game. i mean it's one thing to get mated, and another thing to know that youre inevitably about to get mated, but it's really something special to already know that you're going to get mated but you gotta watch your queen get pounded out first.

that's a wrap boys. another glorious bongcloud victory! complete with 3 sacrifices that some would have to question, but me i'm calling it a tactical display of brilliance because it still gained the end result i was after!

i think this is going to be my last game. and i wouldn't want it any other way. i've became a legend at the sport and accomplished all there is to accomplish in the world of chess. it started with the scholars mate and today it ends with the bongcloud and a glorious queen sacrifice.

i would like to thank my coaches, my sponsors, the liquor store, and my drug dealers. i couldn't have fucked over and victimized so many chess players with my bullshit without your support. it means everything to me. art of the draw and hail to the king baby!

becoming a chess legend was not something that was ever on my bucket list but when the opportunity arises i rose up and grabbed it.

now that i've got that under my belt, i'm gonna go troll the fuck out of people on RISK. australian hiding turtle FTW!!

and the turtle strategy worked masterfully in a 6 player capital conquest game with fog of war on. i am now 1/1 at the game of risk this year. might have to retire from this game too!

Magnus defeats Hikaru 2.5 to 0.5 and advances to the Chessable Masters Grand Final


magnus would have no answer to me throwing up the bongcloud and then hanging my queen. at that point he would be playing for a draw.
 
Hikaru won today to set up a rematch with Magnus in the Final.

The first Freestyle event of the year was last week. One of the better events in recent memory. Keymer took out Firouzja, Magnus, and Caruana en route to the victory.
