They turn their pawn into a bishop, rook, or knight to own the libs.
There's computer shit but all major openings have a theme and logic to them.
this is why I exclusively play people who are also bad at chess to the point we only know how the pieces move
If they know how the horsey moves I know I'm going to lose.
Sigh You can tell this was written by somebody who has never actually played chess. Even the basic chess player knows that the Frenchman's Cumsock is one of the most advanced aggressive plays, a rookie would never think to try it. And if they did, the counter play (Persian Piss-Pot) would end the game in 5 moves instead of 37!
played a bunch of old dudes in a park a couple weeks back and clowned on them, they were like the stereotypical old dude chess betting ring
i played a lot of chess in highschool never really studied it. but apparently i have pattern recognition skills :party-parrot-science:
Give yourself some props. Chess isn't just pattern recognition. It takes intuition and logical thinking too.
it was a pretty fun time, they seemed relieved that i wasnt interested in betting though lmao
also found someones wedding ring and was able to give it back to them cause they were smart enough to engrave their name on it. eventful day
That's seriously impressive, old dude park chess betting rings tend to be like, the top .1% of any cities players.
Do you think you'll go back?
Read the Art of Learning. So many of these chess players are only good at memorizing opening moves. But if you master the end game and middle game you can end up outmaneuvering your avg chess player who only memorizes the opening meta.
that's a slippery slope to learning the middle and end game and memorizing the opening meta, which ends with you being pretty good at chess.
Well, being a nerd is probably the worst thing you could be, but...you know.
That would actually be a bad ass chess game.
You're playing against the CPU (hell or even a human) but there is a random chess move shit talk algorithm that does the talking to the human players sounding just like this tweet.
CPU's will do do moves that make no sense and then 20 moves later you finally understand why they made the move. they've already know what the chess board is going to look like the second you make your first move.
Go is even weirder. Because when I play Tic Tac Toe, I never make mistakes. When I play chess, I make a mistake every several turns. But when I play Go, every single move I make is a mistake.
The first dozen or so times I played Go, my friend that was teaching me had to tell me not just how I'd lost, but that I'd lost. Until it clicks, the scoring and strategy is so unintuitive that you just have no concept of even how well you're playing. With chess at least it's usually pretty obvious when you're getting your ass kicked.
oh shit. go is wild. it makes me kind of sad that they were finally able to teach a computer to play as well as the best human players.
This is why I prefer chess-boxing
And why I'm wanted in 9 states for punching people
my chess strategy is having no strategy and simply just reacting to what my opponent does.
sometimes I win and sometimes I don't but I have fun either way. watching chess tournament games are wild though they play so fast, if i ever had to play chess with a timer my brain would simply short-circuit.
Just play totally randomly, then they can't predict your strategy. Simple as.
Give 'em the old Bongcloud Opening then watch 'em sweat
If you're good, it's a nice flex. If you're not, you look like an idiot.
ever since I learned about this meme I've tried to do it every time i play chess, unfortunately i don't play that often.
That doesn't work on good players, or even decent players lol. Someone tried to clown on paul morphy by doing that and the guy got owned
multi-player video games are sort of like this, but worse.
like,
dude who has two in-game overlays up, three wikis open, 3,000 hours of playtime, and spent 7 hours today watching a streamer play: "idk, the game seems pretty intuitive. sounds like you're just dumb."
