So rules are simple, the same for every single lptcw (last person to comment wins) If you win, you get 50 cheers and a shoutout. You can choose the cheers, but sometimes I pick for you if you haven't said a preference before the announcements. (You will still get 50 cheers) I might be a few hours late btw. (I copied it from the last one)  This time, this lptcw will last 4 days. Empty comments don't count When I close the forum topic, whoever was last wins I close the topic every 3 days, then ill open another for four days and repeat No brainrot At most 5 comments in a row without a different user interjecting Regular TGO rules apply as well (optional) say what type of cheers you want in case you win when I comment, it doesn't count as anything, so the person behind me would win in case I close it where I'm the last comment I can delete inappropriate comments No advertising

So uh u guys can debate here about some of internets most controversial things 

say three things (about yourself), 2 truths and one lie. Others will try to guess which is the lie!! I'll go first.  1. I've never watched one piece 2. i hate pineapple on pizza 3. I have a dent in my skull

Start counting! Please only do at most 5 comments in a row. Only type the increasing number. For example, if I have 5, you put 6. The game starts at 1. Credit to The Nexus Void club for this idea.

The first leg of Norway Chess 2026 is now behind us. There have been several surprises in this tournament, including Magnus Carlsen sitting at the bottom of the standings, having struggled so far even against opponents who are weaker than him on paper. It's now obvious that a potential tournament victory is no longer just up to him, but also depends on the leaders dropping points. What's your take on this? Are you guys following the tournament?

How should we boost activity? I noticed we dropped from 100% to 60%!

Hey guys, Just a casual question for the fellow members here. With the weather getting warmer and summer right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to talk about life outside the screen. As online gamers/chess players, it’s super easy to spend 5 hours sitting on a chair looking at pixels. Lately, I've been trying to force myself to find a healthier balance. How do you guys keep your energy up in the real world? Are you hitting the gym, running, or practicing a sport? Do you prefer peaceful outdoor activities like hiking or just walking in a park? Or are you a night owl who only thrives in a dark room? Let’s see what the community's lifestyle looks like. Share your routine and inspire the rest of us to touch some grass, bros! 👇🔋

Round 5 of Norway Chess 2026 is here! I’m following this event closely, and honestly, the hype is always on another level when Magnus Carlsen is in the field. After a rough start, Magnus picked up his first convincing win yesterday against the current World Champion, Gukesh. Will this victory trigger the GOAT’s comeback up the standings to ultimately win the tournament on his home turf? What do you guys think?

would you rather only be able to watch movies or only be able to read books for the rest of your life? 

Hey guys! As seen in the first two rounds of Norway Chess, Magnus Carlsen is clearly struggling to find his usual surgical precision. The chat is already buzzing with people saying "he is washed up" or "the motivation is gone." But let's be real: we have seen this movie before. Magnus has a legendary history of starting slow, getting angry, and then going on a brutal, merciless winning streak in the second half of a tournament. Are you betting on a massive comeback from the King in the next rounds, or do you think he will finish outside the podium this time? Give me your predictions! 👇🏆
