First post here in a long time; LGP advised me to post chess content here instead of B1Z Hub, where it is likely inappropriate xD Well, so I haven't played many games with the Orthoschnapp gambit, other than a few games that went poorly in blitz. Everything goes poorly in blitz. LGP's kalashnikov sac line worked, and I was up in material until I blundered, so just gives an idea of how I play in fast chess, heh... With the Orthoschnapp, this was only maybe the second or so game where my opponent actually played into the d5 Steiner line, not counting the time I played LGP and he declined. Guess what, he still beat me. Ow.
If I had more time. I could have made a tie or won even. Any what gg my guy you was really good to fight with.

yoo 2nd educational post in like a month new record for me anyways I'm sure you guys know what the queens gambit is, I used this opening from 1300 to right now and it's quite good. This is probably intended more for like 1300 and under since this is a pretty straight forward opening. Higher rated players please feel free to correct me since I don't really know the plans of this opening since I just do my own stuff in my games. give me super admin pls I am very educational
I remember being bored for five hours, looking at 3...h6, but dropped it. today I noticed 2...g6, and I thought it was more promising. Tell me what you guys think! If there are any variations you think are challenging, and I didn't cover, etc.
So I was looking for what to do next in my series. And I saw a nice line against the Traxler that seems to give up a pawn at first but in reality gives excellent chances for white. Here it is, enjoy! The Traxler is a variation of the fried liver attack. It intends to counterattack white instead of defending f7 with d5 Now the engine says that either nxf7 or bxf7+ are the best moves. But they both require you to learn a lot of theory since black has lots of tricks up his sleeve. So that's why I recommend d4, it will take black by surprise. Here's the line.

I am at 527 from 596 elo in Blitz. Why did I tilted now Out of all things why now and before I hit 600.

Now that I’ve crossed over 1300 once again in blitz, I’ll be playing more rapid… but for the time being, I want you all to marvel at the relish of the game that got me over 1300. The last 45 or so moves I made I was sub-20 seconds. Hikaru?! >inb4 where’s the annotation b&’d and doxxed Background: this game was dedicate to Ukraine so if you delete … you’re racist? A war mongrel? Checkmate, atheists.

We have tried in the past to hold a Beginners & Masters Candidates Tournament, similar to that by FIDE, but it sort of fell apart towards the end. Well now that our club is even larger and more active ( cough cough) than before, we will be holding a second Candidates Tournament. Nine people will qualify, the #1 player will receive a first-round bye, and the overall winner will be crowned the B&M “World” Champion and all the glory, acclaim, yada yada yada, that comes with this prestigious title. The first qualifying Rapid, Swiss tournament will be held this month. Let me know what times work best for y’all and we’ll get this scheduled.

I got good old Martin to reopen my account, so here I am. I initially closed as a rage quit, then I wanted to just make a new account altogether, then I decided I wanted this account back lol. Why did I make a forum post about it? Who knows... Here's a random game I played on my blindfold account though that shows how much I suck at blindfold. I was white

If there was a GM title in blunders, black here would be super GM.

I played some blindfold chess with a dude in chess.com discord I don't know if he used engine or if he used a board, and i don't care either. But here are our games (they are very short)
Premium-could someone analyze this and just tell me accuracy and if I got any brilliants or great moves? thanks! https://www.chess.com/game/live/40500626697

Happy April Fools Day! April 1, 2025: “The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentlemen. The ability to play chess well is a sign of a wasted life.” -Paul Morphy, GM. (Do you think he stole this quote from his dad who shamed him into quitting chess?)
