The only reason people prefer lichess because of the fact that Chess.com is not that much free. If Chess.com was free no one would be playing on lichess but from another perspective Chess.com also needs money so what would you guys say should chess.com be free or not

guys I beat an IM in 30 sec he was 2900 lol how

The answer is simple, it depends. If you play lots of Blitz and analyse none of them, it is probably unhealthy for you. Let me explain; The reason is you can either learn from your mistakes or continue doing mistakes. Analysing and fixing your mistakes will help you improve. On the other hand if you continue doing mistakes without realizing, you will never improve! Here is an example: Beginner friend of mine constantly kept losing his queen in the opening. When he started playing chess, I taught him some basic openings and then he started playing. After 1 month of playing chess, he said "I am always losing, I will quit chess!". So, I said "Wait, let me check your games" And then I saw him making the same mistake over and over again. That's the reason you should analyse your games! Be Friends With Me Challange Me Message Me

Post some chess memes here, so that everyone could enjoy it.

He sent me a message to join his club. I responded with a no as I'm not allowed to and don't join unofficial clubs. Then he persuaded and harassed me to join it, stating that his club is better than the ones I'm a member of, but then, after many polite attempts, I told him to shut up and get reported for harassment. Next thing, he wrote a message telling that I was reported, and promptly blocked the chat.Who's at fault? 

Here, I'll explain my opinion on whether knights or bishops are better and I'll explain. OK! Let's go!Just in case you don't know, knights move in L-shapes and can jump over pieces, switching squares every time you move them and bishops move in diagonals only and don't have any special abilities. You start with two of each of them. Knights start on the b and g file and bishops start on the c and f file.In the opening, Knights are used more often than bishops as you should develop them first to grab the centre faster, as there is a saying: "A knight on the rim is dim", meaning the knight is more useless when it's stuck on the corner of the board. Openings that use it and not bishops include: Four Knights Game, Pirc Defence and Vienna Game. On the other hand, bishops are slightly harder, but can be more rewarding if you use them well, as you can use a tactic called a fianchetto, where you place a bishop on the longest diagonal and it pretty much turns into a sniper, where players could accidentally place valuable pieces on the diagonal and the sniper will charge. Bishops can be used to play Scholar's mate, where it works with the queen to defend it and deliver checkmate in 4 moves. Even though most advanced players know it by now. In the middlegame, knights and bishops have their own unique tactics but are often traded easily. Knights can easily and sneakily set up forks, where you attack two or more pieces at once. Usually, one of the pieces is forced to retreat and let the other piece get captured. Bishops are better at setting up pins and skewers. A pin is where you attack one piece, which is shielding a more valuable piece. The pinned piece is forced to stay to protect the more valuable piece, and a skewer is basically the opposite. Bishops are also better at protecting their own pawns, while also threatening the opponent's pawns Note that bishops can also set up forks, but they are easier to see coming, as their movement is less erratic than the knight.In the endgame, promoting pawns is important, and rooks are the best for that, but what about knights and bishops? Both of them can only protect the pawns on limited squares, but as the bishop can only go on one colour of squares, the knights are better at protecting pawns, as they can switch squares every time they move. Another thing to consider is getting checkmate with them. Knights with a king can't checkmate a single king. This will result in a draw. A king and one bishop also result in a draw, however, two bishops can deliver checkmate, even though it's quite hard.In conclusion, both bishops and knights have their own advantages and disadvantages in different stages of the game, so it's better to vary their importance depending on the stage of the game. But if I were to choose which of the two is better................. I CHOOSE KNIGHTS, as if you blunder, it's easier to make a comeback in any stage of the game, despite its short range. However, its very important to make use of both of them and not be biased on which one is better. So that's my opinion done. What do you think? Let me know if you agree or disagree with me in the comments! I'd love to hear your opinions!

In a nutshell, this guy went from a 100 to an IM back to a 100. I mean... this has got to be the worst player I've played against. I won by resignation. Take a look at this. What do you guys think? https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/84215542499?tab=review
