I try to enjoy it but I'm always playing against Queen's gambit shitheels who almost never accept the Albin countergambit

Shogi? Anyone?

This one is quite good for a laugh.

I'm 4-0-0. Isn't there anyone on Veeky Forums that can play?

Woops, meant lichess.org/Xo3gvwvy is quite good for a laugh.

Get the fuck out of here.

Yes but I suck at it, I never put any serious thought or study on it, just like any other board game.

I understand how you feel.

2 wins 0 losses, let's make it 3-0-0

Does Veeky Forums like Scrabble? That's a pretty fun game.

>studying chess to advance beyond 1350 elo
Unless you're trying to win professional tournaments there's no reason to do this. You should try to be better than perhaps 55% of the population at chess, so that your chance of winning is marginally better than winning a coin toss. Why? For the explicit purpose of winning bets in bars.
And that's why I'm forever 1400

I used to play tournaments, but I can't stand playing chess online for some autistic reason, so I'll probably never play again as I'm autistic and don't make friends or leave the house.

i'm a nub and i just always go for halloween gambit because it's memey

any competent player kills it instantly

>halloween gambit
mein neger

must be some real raging bars you attend you mediocre faggot

Well, if I was good enough to win every game nobody would play me for drinks. And I don't have the strength of character to become a chess god and successfully hide my power level. So mediocrity it is.

I love shogi user, its the superior chess.

Pretty much any different version of chess is an improvement

>choosing being social and having fun over being so good no one casual will play you but not good enough to beat actual pros

yes.

Chess is hard. Training/quick games will tire you more than studying traditional academics.

I usualy play very defensive,so much in fact most of my games end in a draw.

fuck i didn't realize time was about to run out

that's a terrible opening. Lichess rates it -0.9 in favor of black.

lichess.org/TRUu1Mr2

it's the most anime of all openings, how could i resist?
i rarely ever get to play 4 knights games and i basically throw every one them with nxe5
>tfw no gf that partakes in fun 4 knights games with you

Did you won?

lichess.org/9HYkNJcG

so your goal is to be better than most of the people who don't know how to play chess

How can I get better at shorter gaymes?
I have studied opening theories, know a bit about strategy and if i play long games, sometimes I make a really thought out checkmate with some big sacrifices.
I have basically played chess for about two months, but pretty excessive. I have only played online games, in the beginning mostly 15min and 30min, now only 5 minute games.

I cant really just move a piece and be sure, that everything is protected. I have to actively check every single piece, and with a short time control I cant do that, so im stuck at around 1300 with Blitz-Chess.

Please help, it really hurts losing everytime because of some silly bullshit.

People who can handle complex structures are doing that on purpose, hoping to overwhelm their opponent by giving them more than they can handle. On the other hand, being willing to exchange pieces down to simpler board arrangements can get you into trouble too

Really enjoyed black's playstyle. Hyperaggressive throws people off.

i don't know how to play and there's not point in learning it since i have zero(0) friends to play with

You can play online

chess.com
lichess.org

All you need to learn is the 4 move checkmate and you'll look like a god to your peers

>look at the games played here
>games are full of brainlet blunders

>implying people who are actually good at chess go on Veeky Forums
they've got games to study

that actually rarely works even against people who don't play chess for me

backranking always gets people though.

5min game

Isn't chess just memorising a fuck ton of possible moves and countering them with a fuck ton of possible counters? Chess has been pretty much figured out, we need a new game.

You want to play an Chinese game I'm certain you know nothing about that has been around for more than 2500 years and think you can play by watching a 2 minute video? Lmao

Sorry the game has been done to shit i have no interest in it.

xiang qi forever. simpler than international chess, faster, more playful, and yet not trivial.
