Rethinking the opening: if chess is a forced draw (building a narrow, bulletproof repertoire)

Why play kiddie chess when you can play a real format?
Blud daily chess is kiddie chess honestly chess.com should make an option for team matches to be like 10min or smth to avoid these pathetic losers who can't even explain a position properly (and don't go about your nonsense) and then you duck out of answering my problem and then again you start stalling our game because YOU are too scared. Idc about some overconfident 1400 who can't play live chess. Cmon, don't duck out.
You say the opposite of what is accurate, nice try tho.
I'm not the one too scared to challenge me to live chess, am I? You too scared your peak is only 1500? Pathetic. Go ask @Somebody133 for advice on trolling, at least he gave me a couple of laughs.
Can you assert scared if I seem to be the most confident or socially dominant person here?
If you were, we couldn’t. However, you… aren’t. Not even close actually. If we count unfounded arrogance as confidence then you’d be number 1 even if we counted the rest of us combined. But we don’t, and so you come across as scared, because you are completely unwilling to play a game in a different format but you call other cowards for the exact same thing. You’re either unintelligent (which I don’t believe, and I know you don’t) or you’re narcissistic and remarkably not self-aware.

Yk you remind me of one of those emo people who sit in the back of the classroom, always with their hood on, acting like they're tough but they're so weak they can't hold a plank.
Uncalled-for! That’s rude to those emo kids!

You can't even challenge me to live chess; how is that confident? You can't solve my puzzle; how is that confident? You can't respond to me directly, answer all of my questions, and try to divert your response to one part of my post; how is that confident? Yk you remind me of one of those emo people who sit in the back of the classroom, always with their hood on, acting like they're tough but they're so weak they can't hold a plank. Tell me how you are confident. All you are is scared. Back off. Duck.

Why play kiddie chess when I can play real chess in Daily?
Why play kiddie chess when I can play real chess in rapid, classical, blitz, or bullet? Imagine if MMArtists could call for a timeout for TWO WEEKS to recover and study their opponent endlessly. No sport allows that much downtime, for good reason.

At least I never wear a hood in the classroom…

It's a non issue in chess because prep is useless.
WHO TF MENTIONED PREP!!?? I didn’t say JACK about prep. I mentioned studying the strengths and weaknesses in a position (opponent or opposing team in a sport).

It's a non issue in chess because prep is useless.
Someone call an ambulance. This person needs brain surgery QUICK! Possibly a tumor, though it could also just be regular disorders that prevent logical thinking and responses.
Why spend 1000 + hours learning prep when 10 hours of actually playing chess the right way, without falling into the rote learning / crystallization trap is going to completely dismantle / dunk on it over the board?
Prep is like taking roids. Even if it helps you lift more than you could have immediately before, it has no potential, you're ruining your body and just going to be forever weak.
It's a way of front loading less.
And then you wonder why chess players are bad at their own game.
NOBODY BUT YOU IS TALKING ABOUT PREP MADAME! You keep beating a dead horse, then digging up its corpse only to beat it AGAIN. Come back when you’re willing to put away your 2003 PowerPoint on “Why Rote Memorization Preparation Is Useless In The Illustrious Game Of Chess For Top Level Players And Everyone Else And Why Nobody Should Use It And Here Are The First Ten Reasons Why Nobody Should Use Prep When Playing A Game Of Chess” like Ma’am you sound like you’re reading a script.

You're just out of the loop, it's been discussed on these forums and I referenced it.
++ We were in the middle of a discussion about something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT though, something that had nothing to do with prep and you randomly brought it up.
It was commented that "not even magnus is that good" well duh, and the referenced prep / learning stuff is why.
++ Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Do I care? Did I ask?
I'm not very good at games, nor am I super talented.
++ First true thing you’ve said all day.
I am however MUCH better at games than chess players are, and chess is a game.
++ Aaaaand back to the narcissistic delusion and blatant ignorance and/or falsehoods again.
So I can be very humble / honest (editor’s note: don’t make me laugh) and say I am meh, but if the whole chess world is bad then that's good enough and it speaks for itself.
++ nope.
And just because I am better than the people you look up to doesn't mean that you are.
++ but you aren’t though.
That speaks for itself.
++ Hans Niemann? Is that you?

Being not so great at a game, or having little ability is one thing you can still play and have fun.
But being angry, or defensive while it is okay for banter, is not good for learning.
In other games, we call that "hardstuck"

Yeah d4 is hardstuck Plat II but he’s going to rank up to Diamond III at the end of the year meanwhile you’re talking a lot of game for someone who hasn’t even finished placement games but looks like a Bronze I player.

You need a comittee to get your collective stories straight.
I can either be better than magnus / an obvious engine level cheater or a bronze 1 player. but it's hard to call me both.
Also, for the record, Diamond / bronze are basically the same thing, before people who actually play the game.
That is to say, it's still in the range of "beginner"
I have NEVER called you a cheater. Try again.

Oh, the other have cake and eat it too, I'm either some smurf or sandbagger dumpstering people weaker than me OR I am a 1400 rated player.
But calling me both is a little desperate / disingenuous, is it not?
But I kid, I shouldn't tease yall too much, especially at one user's pointed at expense.
Feels like I am dealing out too many low blows or kicking while they're down.
Oooh… that one cut deep huh. Had to reply scathingly twice because once wasn’t enough. And as for dealing out low blows, considering the fact that you probably come up to approximately the bottom of my pecs while wearing stilettos, anything you throw would be a low blow.

I’m not a hater either, try for a third time. I genuinely respect your education and have defended you behind your back. You play the game rather well and obviously have a decent intelligence. Your points are always misguided at best and I wasn’t joking about you coming across as an arrogant, ignorant, delusional narcissist but then again that’s the price you pay interacting with others online.

Okay. So we’re going to do a fun little exercise called “using our eyes”. Who responded twice to one comment? That’s right! You did. So either you can’t count to two (which we both know is ridiculous) or you’re being intentionally difficult and incorrect in an attempt to bait me. Your call.

Perhaps you heavily underestimate my confidence (or my arrogance if it wansn't justified) and how dismissive I am.
I might be amicable, or patient with ye average reddit enjoyer, but it's not like I would lower myself or pretend to be equals.
Dismissive yes, confident… not so much. It’s most definitely arrogance because it isn’t justified. And that second sentence is very interesting, because it almost outright confirms that you are a narcissist.
Well it has been different, have fun, people! It be my Birthday, over and out for now!
