I think knight is more annoying and you can do sneaky tricks but bishops pairs are OP in Endgame so it depends.

Hey guys, so I made a blog today which was about some responses to play against 1.e4. There might be even more than you think! I covered - Different defenses - Pros and Cons - And my personal experiences! Here is where the Blog can be found! Thank you, @Phantom_Beast23! Note, Im not 100 percent sure if I can do this so if a Mod could comment that'd be great

I see Chess.com has a holiday gift guide, but I don't think my family will want any of those things.

I am white against "FlippedOut" aka Hikaru Nakamura in his new speed run I am a rook up with White. but somehow he blitzed out all the moves and managed to win. but this was as close as ever to defeat him. Full game here and here is the link to the actual game on the server https://www.chess.com/live/game/5716034794

Are you meant to pronounce Nakamura with a "u" sound or an "oo" sound?

I'm just wondering how Hikaru can sing, nod his head, calculate moves and play chess at the same time in BULLET. I can barely do that while playing rapid 15+10.

Hikaru remains top blitz player on chess.com here a 17 moves win against GM Narodistky who is within the US top 10 top blitz players -and also an official chess.com streamer now- Vienna Opening 3 f4!? full analysis here https://www.chess.com/blog/thechesscorner64/vienna-opening-hikarus-win-in-17-moves-against-gm-narodistky
Who do you guys think will be victorious in the brackets? Post in the comments! I think- Qualifiers: Naka & Haik = Naka Fedo & Firou = Fedo (yes I chose an upset) So & Abu = So Duda & Caruana = Caruana Carlsen & Magh = Carlsen Artemiev & Giri = Giri MVL & Sarin = MVL Nepo & Aronian = Nepo
Disappointed by Hikaru's performance. Not sure to understand the root cause. Here's a game where he was completely dominated by J. Xiong a promising GM, who just turned 20.

This is one of my many games against @Mango1987. We played 19 games in total, and the final score was 11-8 in my favor. There were times in the game we made little inaccuracies and mistakes, but overall it was fun. GGs Mango!
