Why is the knight only worth three pawns?

Stop it now, you are 1200 not FIDE 3000.🤭

Magnus Carlsen himself hasn't reached FIDE 3000, but I'm sure he'll have to face you some day to get there.

I went and changed my USCF rating to 3000. Does that mean im rated 3000?  Of course not. 

Yes, because you are acknowledging it.

This guy is offering proof, still defending the fact, that he is actually FIDE 3000 rated.🙄

I hereby challenge @MagnusCarlson and any other GM to a game, OTB or on chess.com or lichess.  if they accept and win I will remove 3000 from my profile, otherwise I am the GOAT

Let's play a 3 min game.

If I win you'll edit your profile to say FIDE 1001, deal?

The challenge was to GMs, not patzers like you

I'm a 1000 points above you, I think I'll manage.😌

Typical response from a lower rated player. happy.png

 

When there is argument between who is a faster runner? You dont need to ask them to run a 5 hour marathon (only pro finisih in 2 h), you can see who is faster within 50 meter performance.

 

That being said " +1000 higher rated player is > 99% of  winning probablilty. No need to test a 3 year game ( 2 weeks / turn is 3 year), you can see the performance in 3 min game.

Since you bring up running I can run a 2h40 marathon (no jokes - I train 5+ days every week) and your example is bullsh** because I can’t sprint to save my life and would lose a 50m race to lots of non-runners my age.

 

We can reduce the time control if he likes but playing 3 min games is more a test of connection speed and luck than how well you can analyse positions.

No one was born with 2000+ rating.

 

We started with 1200 like you. We know how much hard work and hiw much experience is required from 1200 to 2000+.

 

 

If you can beat another 1200 by 75% score you become 1400 and so on. But in your case you have 50% chance of winning against 1200. 

 

It is the reasons how chess ratings are created.

Yeah but I haven’t played any serious games on this account yet, they’re mostly with @fathamster or @ratatouie where we discuss life’s meaning or games where I speedmove without thinking then normally time out

Ps can we stop quoting each other cumulatively- this is getting out of hand

Colby-Covington

@knightscape007

My offer stands, you may challenge me to a 3 min game at any time, but if I win you'll have to change that FIDE rating in your profile to 1001, that's my condition.

I'll even accept 1 min vs 3 min, in your favor.

Funny thing is you wouldn't even be eligible to enter a FIDE tournament.

Minimum mandatory rating for participation is 1001.

Never knew they used your chess.com rating


and ps I’ve only lost 2 daily games not from timeouts and those were from moving without thinking so your assessment of me is retarded

@knightscape007 stop trying to defend yourself. You are wrong and we all know it. And if you want to prove that you are better than your current rating, accept the challenge as it is. 

Colby-Covington

Those 0.176 points will make all the difference in @WeakLavas high level games.🤭

     I agree. I also noticed my king side rook is worth 5.05569, but my queen side rook is only worth 5.03477. I took the set back where I bought it and complained. The guy in the store said "Whaddya' want from me? I didn't make the damn thing. Take it up with Mr. Staunton!"

It makes a lot of sense when you think about it I think Mr Staunton was right, the King side rook is the one that will both defend your king and attack your opponents, while the queen side usually serves as a bait to lure the ennemy into wasting 4 moves and a knight (c6-b4-c2 a1) to trap it.

 

What infuriates me though is when a patzer swap the KS rook with the QS one. Or worse, when an incompetent tournament organizer mixed up the sets and I have two QS rooks and no KS one.
