I'll be back around april 7th or so. I'll try to keep up with my ongoing daily games so I'll still be connected, just way less active in forums and stopping live games.

I just played a 10 minute game, put the king in check with my queen, he didn't move or block the check, and the app let him continue?

Did they take the queen? Seems odd, could you send the game or position?

if they do D4 do cxd4. if they go for the smith morra gambit I usually accept the gambit. If they do 2. Nc3 I usually go Nc6 and just continue developing normally.

I played this game, and was wondering how to respond to the opening… at least I saw mate in five happy.png

When they get their bishop out, what I do is I play e6 to try and kick the bishop out with d5. If they play Nc3 after you play a6 then continue developping, always with d5 in mind

Guys I know I said I was stopping live chess for a while (which I am going to do), I just wanted to reach 1900 Blitz (which I did yesterday, and I am sooo happy about it because it has a special signification for me), and I figured I was going to play some rapid games just to relax, because I don't care about rapid rating too much anyway.

And I had what I think is my greatest move (awarded brilliant by the analysis) I ever played. The game in itself is not that good, I threw away my advantage and I missed a lot of moves like Bxd6 on move 13, but bro move 28 is just so cool. It is not “beautiful”, but I can't believe I manage to calculate the line that deep lol. Anyway here is the game and I’ll let you judge by yourself lol

That was nice af

Did you calculate the line from cxd4 or stumble into it lol

I actually didn't see Qxb2 from the beginning, I saw it a bit later. But Bb3 was obvious when we arrived there

Ah cmon you should've lied and said you saw it all. I would've believed you

Nice game nono. On 29 I probably would have went dxe5 instead of bringing N up and changed everything. That was a very nice game.

Black could have moved 27...qe7 and saved some trouble, I think.
