What's your hottest take on chess? Could be about top players or about the game itself.
A hot take is basically just another word for an unpopular opinion.
Ex. Lasker is the GOAT, Stalemate should be removed.
Feel free to debate with others!
3 minute blitz and under are the equivalent of puzzles
a hot take? well if you mean about female players, i think its a good thing not about looks or appearance but that female players are getting more into the game and having fun. the bad side i would say would just be the people with devilish intentions or acting toxic about them even being apart of the game calling them weak or something not nice. chess wise i really enjoy the botez sisters as they are awesome and really have done a good job they deserve it

no no, we don't talk about that
i dont judge female players for their appearance but rather love thier kindness and bravery like any other player here who wants to have a good time playing and maybe win a few games. chess is not about laughing at others or judging them based off a face, its about having good moments with each other in a well nice community and chess.com represents that. no doubt i believe that regardless of gender, race, or age chess has brought us all together and thats what matters cause in the end we all help chess get better friends
best response to e4 is c6

This isn't a hot take, it's a sad take.

Do you want the Bongcloud Mob that has quite a force in chess.com politics to hunt you down and get your account mysteriously banned?

If not, then don't speak badly about the Bongcloud in public. Some people will get violent over that.

i mean we all know bongcloud is a joke opening, its fun but even hikaru stated he only played it in real "serious" events when they the games themselves were meaningless and didnt affect standings at all so one was against magnus which was the draw and the other with jeffery

Yeah, that's true. But there are others who have played it against Magnus. Haven't you seen?
It wasn't as good IMO, probably because I've heard that same argument about stalemate a million times. But I guess it counts, and I hope he makes even more.
Oh no it's wasn't even 1/10 as good IMO lol but still a little funny I hope
I'll do more questionioning NCPs eventually. The problem is, I'm not very social and I have few friends, so I'll have to talk to strangers to get answers lol
Yay! Finally, something to get excited about in the chess world!
