What if there was a varient of chess where the starting position is like this: How would opening theory and middlegames change? The evaluation here is the same as the normal starting position.

what the title's not clickbait??? what hikaru did not play this game??? it was played by a noob???

I just played three games and won them all by ff or abandonment. Each game lasted less than 1 minute. Is this happening to anyone else? Here are links, they I'll post pgns https://www.chess.com/game/live/43687571257 https://chess.com/game/live/43687585037 https://www.chess.com/game/live/43688052893 note about this game, he hyperbulleted his way through Note about this game up there ^ Is he a bot? what do you guys think?

I haven't been playing chess much lately since I've been in the process of moving (which sucks), but I managed to join an online classical chess league similar to the B&M Candidates Tournament but with 75|30 time control. Since this was my first serious game in months, I wanted to go through and really analyze it

This has been weighing on my mind heavily due to recent developments. I don't know if I've told many people about my thoughts on this subject recently, so this should come as a surprise. Perhaps those who I told earlier thought I was joking, but I wasn't. It is with great regret that I must announce my retirement from playing the czech benoni. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing it and I still do. However, after re-analyzing the opening I have come to the conclusion it is near unplayable at high levels due to the plan of f3-h4-g3, which stops all of black's active plans. The czech benoni helped me get many firsts, including my first win against someone 2100 USCF in a longer time control game (Nationals online 2020): However this setup has been really bothering me and I have had no real idea playing against it. For example, local NM Scott destroyed me completely (But ended up blundering later). While I was winning (But drew) at the end, it doesn't change the evaluation of the opening play and corresponding middlegame events. The line was tested when I played at nationals against Avi Kaplan (2150). I won, but white had terrific winning chances. As a result, I have decided to play a better opening. Namely, the modern benoni.

Enjoy my pain lel Round 1: Round 2 (P A I N): Will post rounds 3 & 4 later :/

While I was in the bathroom, I thought, wait, can't he play Rxa2?? So as I sat on the toilet, I realized I could take the c7 pawn, and he can't take my b2 pawn because his knight is hanging. So he must move his knight. He can move his knight into the center and fork my queen and bishop. This is fine, as the bishop is protected by my knight. So I must move the queen to somewhere to defend my pawn. I couldn't visualize where my queen should go while pooping, so I finished my business and washed my hands and got out to see that my opponent played ...Rxa2. I sat down and my opponent immediately offered a draw. I was taken aback, and for a second my mind went blank. Somewhere, in a brief five second interval, I brushed on the fact that I still had an outside passed pawn. But my opponent was a 2260 NM! He was crushing me earlier! (stockfish agrees). Who knows what will happen if I declined the draw? Yes, my coach told me to decline draws. Yes, I told myself to decline draws. Yes, I won my last game vs a 2150 by declining his draw. I should decline his draw and play on. I accepted the draw, and five seconds after I left the playing hall, I was hit with the sudden realization that I could have played on. If I was asked to explain the draw, I couldn't.

Yesterday I played an OTB event. Today, while analyzing one of my games, I noticed there was a really nice position that could have arisen if I had played differently. Sadly it's a bit of a moot point, since the way I played just won. However, I think the position is very instructive, and even playing through the analysis and understanding it will help improve your dynamic intuition. Before we get into the position, here's a warm-up exercise: Now here's the position. Be warned, it is not for the faint of heart or busy! If you actually want to learn from the analysis, I would recommend making sure you have enough time to go through and understand it. I hope you enjoyed the position!

In these 100+ move games, the endgame was played incorrectly. Try to find how the players could have played better!
