so should this idiot. he tried to hit me with the scholars mate so i cucked him hard. he then spent a couple minutes looking for his queen before he abandoned the game to go in search of it.

even in the 700's theres still other people out there who try for that shit. they should know by now that barrie mckochiner does not fall for the scholars mate. barrie mckochiner is the one who delivers the scholars mate, and he delivers it deep.

i always get a laugh out of this shit. every day something funny happens. yesterday i terrorized somebody into resigning after just one move. i don't know how i'll be able to top that one but i'm sure today there will be something else peculiar that happens in my world of amateur hour chess.

Solid win for Magnus, he played at a high level. Unfortunately for Alireza, he didn't play particularly well and his time management was terrible. A bit surprising he played that badly, but it would have been tough to beat Magnus regardless.

why are they always wearing headphones when they play? are they listening to music? or are they cheating with like audio recordings of patterns of moves they should be making spliced in between some iron maiden songs? or perhaps somebody else is on a voice channel with them and running the moves through stockfish or something and telling them what they should do next? i don't get it.

and lol at displaying their heart rate measurements. you know the game is hardcore when....

this was a wild game with all kinds of gnarly exchanges that went down to the wire. seeing those two other pawns for him plus being kinda stuck i kept trying to force a repetition draw and then kept chasing his knight around with my king. and just when he got one of my key pawns and things were quickly going to go in his favor, benoitchess over here decided to go all murder-suicide with his knight, allowing me to capture it with my king, stop him from promoting and save the game.

next time take the draw dumbass.

Chess at the E-sports world cup is pretty cool. I don't know how to make chess bigger, but including it at this event is at least a step in the right direction.

triple bongcloud strikes again!

this hindu was shaken to the bone. absolutely terrified. he had no idea what to do when i opened by moving my king back and forth 3 times, challenging him to attack me or develop his pieces. in anticipation of me moving my king back down in fear of me moving it right back up for a 4'th consecutive time (at that point he should just go change his undies and resign), he first gave up his bishop in exchange for for a pawn. then he straight up gave me his knight. and then he gave up one of the easiest forced mates that i've ever seen.

motherfucker saw my king coming out and decided that he wanted out of that game. he knew what was up. nobody wants a piece of the triple bongcloud. i need to trademark this shit.

It depends on the event, but sometimes the players will headphones, especially if there's a live audience. Usually it's just noise canceling, although music has been allowed. I don't know anything about esports, but apparently they were allowed music at this event.

Yeah, that was quite an endgame. Nicely done on grinding it out.

i meant to edit that game into the post i made above the one i asked about the headphones but anyways yeah i guess the noise cancellation makes sense if there is alot of people around them and they are trying to focus on the board. but to me i can't help but to be suspicious of cheating.

for me the only way i'll ever know if my opponent isn't cheating via headphones is if he opens as white and moves his d pawn down 2, and then i respond by moving my e pawn up 1 followed by moving my king back and forth 3 or 4 times, if he doesn't resign or offer a draw or at least start surrendering some pieces then i'll know without any doubt that he's cheating. there is no other logical explanation or valid response to such a tactic.

i opened with my trademarked wayward king attack. hilarity ensued. it turned into a blunder festival. we were pointlessly exchanging pieces. then he starts giving up his knights and bishop. then he almost forced a repetition draw with retarded checks. then we hung our queens. then he hung his rook. but i managed to get the upper hand after i hung my rook and knight just so that i could promote my pawn.

nothing about these games resembles a traditional game of chess in any way whatsoever. in this one i literally opened by moving my king up to the 6th row and then moving it along the row, completely oblivious to whatever my opponent was doing. my plan was to get my rook to b8 and my king to a8, creating what might be the most unorthadox way of manually castling that has ever been done in the game. i was a move away from succeeding until he started to attack me. i am still determined to do this, even though i don't know what it will accomplish other than having my king in the corner and no developed pieces at all.

This would be an excellent submission for Guess the ELO.

to be honest i'm finding it absolutely hilarious that i was able to take my king for a walk against 700's, regardless of finding a way to win.

Even when people are higher than 700, they're still pretty impatient and don't really know how to play for a win. They're also often firing off moves like they're playing bullet even though they have all the time in the world.

My man Luis could have just patiently systematically dismantled your position, but he decided to fire off bizarre moves. In the process, he missed forks, hung his queen (move 15, you could have taken on b4) etc.

i don't even know how this guy is on my level. it looked like he tried to open with what appears to be a botched scholars mate attempt. so i fork his queen and bishop so he moves his queen, but not to d3 where he should have gone. he also decided to park it on c3 where my most hilarious gambit is played, and maybe 80% of the time they'll bite.

so instead of just taking the free bishop with my knight, i go all leeroy jenkins with my bishop just hanging the fuck out of it while attacking their queen. and if they take the bishop now i'll have a 3 way fork and win their queen and won't have to worry about trying to get my knight out of danger unless i end up forking his rook afterwards as well, which at that point the damage is already done, they can have that knight.

but what happened in this game was even more insane. not only did he take the bait hook,line, and sinker, he also fell for every other single trap that i sprung on him.

i DESTROYED this guy like nobody else before. i took his queen. i took his bishop. i took his knights. i took his rook. i then allowed him to exchange rooks. and then i started picking off his pawns and right as i was about to completely clean this guy out and leave him with nothing on the board, i accidentally mated him while capturing a pawn. i was winning a piece on every god damn turn.

buddy is lucky because my gameplan was to clean those pawns up and exchange or capture the bishop in whatever way i can, and then i was going to try to trap their king while i promote 4 or 5 pawns just to remind this guy who his chess daddy is. i wanted that dude to feel every ounce of pain and humiliation for trying that shit on me, and i kind of robbed myself of the opportunity. i didn't know that taking the g pawn would be mate. i should have taken the d first.

such a disrespectful opening deserves to be punished. but this wasn't just punishment. this was a straight up skullfucking.

That was a hilarious destruction. I enjoyed the triple fork execution.

this motherfucker tried to hit me with the scholars mate. and i punished him in the most hilarious way possible for it.

i should have just let him take my knight before i moved the rook but i thought i would go for the added shock value of him having to surrender his knight and then the game just for attacking my own knight.

that was silly as it required 4 moves for him to be able to capture that knight with his king. he could have just taken my knight with his rook and advanced his knights in the same amount of moves, but i guess he really wanted to learn his lesson!

amateur hour chess at its finest.

Shame for Juan he has no clue how to checkmate with Q+K. So, with all the time in the world, he decides to blitz out moves and stalemate instead of just pushing his pawn and getting another queen.
