Hot Takes...

1600? That's it?

Yes it is

I am a nerd who plays chess. I am not a nerd because I play chess, there's a difference.

Everyone I know calls me a nerd for some reason. I'm not even excelling at school. It's just because of chess

anyone under 800 whose been playing and studying for a decent amount (a year or two) of time is either a id@@t or a child.

My hot take: It should be legal to castle out of check. Any other king move is legal if it gets the king out of check. Why not castling?

This meme was literally on chess.com's official YouTube page in their community posts recently xD

its all the matrix

ignore the bot above me, clearly another sheep brainwashed by the simulation

lets be real if you dont follow the cult of los gatos hermanos you really are just another sheep lost in the simulation

like come on its in the name

Idk about that @mirroredragon I've never seen a drone fly into a glass That seems like something a person with a remote control should be able to know better.

you see its because the small frame of the bird does not allow for stronger and more modern imagery devices, meaning they have low framerate and resolution, not letting them see the glass

Italian game is overrated, especially the center attack and fried liver. An opponent who knows what they are doing can very easily equalize. I have no problem with the pianissimo or open 2 knights tho.

No White has a sight edge and a comfortable position in main master lines (which are VERY common nowadays) and for intermediate players there are a plethora of gambits

The gambits are fine, I just dont think the knight attack lines and the center attack lines are very good
