lel, chess was never popular

I know what you're getting at but prior to the cold war era competitiveness chess was still much more popular than it is today. Not the most popular thing in the world but you would've never called it 'dead'.
there are about 90% more men than women that play chess. it's estimated 500-600m people play chess. there are obviously more chances for anomalies like magnus on mens side.
there are plenty. just because incels sperg out that a 10/10 women doesn't want to date a 3/10 like themselves, doesn't mean they can't achieve plenty in sports that don't require as much athleticism.
That actually required a conscious effort by the director, since if he only have got a random chess playset, it would have black and white pieces. He actually got two playsets, discarded the black pieces, and put only the white ones on the board.

Sounds like absolute kino, tbh. What did the auteur director mean by this?
It's arguably like yugioh. Except, unlike yugioh, they made the game too simple and didn't copyright the rules so anyone can play chess without paying them royalties
Although the International Chess Federation recognizes more than 1,700 grandmasters worldwide (approximately 15 percent of whom are from Russia), only three are black.
race is tied to intelligence, and intelligence is tied to chess ability. its just the simple facts that when you talk about the greatest chess players, it will be inevitable for people to notice the trend of whites dominating the game.
yes, because god forbid the israelite nited states of Shillmerica have any more socialism beyond helping laqueesha and tyrone shoot each other up with bullets and heroin.
It wasn't that bad. She lost several times, even lost to the main dude twice. In the end she even had help from her friends to beat him. They could have played up the girl power shit way worse than they did.
It's a made up story, bro. Nobody wants to watch a movie about a skinny incel reading chess books all day every day that slowly goes mad over a board game.

Lets see if it sticks.
chess is such a solved game,
every player does the exact same 10 moves. >muh castling (should never have been in the game
They should just make it Fischerrandom already.
>chess is such a solved game,
yes and it was pretty much a solved game BEFORE computers.
Now it's just a machine learning competition, which I guess could be interesting, but it's not chess.
they only lose to Grandmasters because they choose the wrong machine learnt strategy.
Chess is locked because it doesn't facilitate enough randomness, it's less about skill and more about memory.
also all the chess leaders are literally old men who get a power kick from trashing young chess novices.
It's the most pathetic thing you'll ever see.
Imagine training to become a golfer and the local golfing club immediately pits you against John Daly on the driving range
i wonder what would happen if you take grandmaster chess players and make em try to innovate strategies for tabletop wargames.
wargames suffer from mile-long rulebooks, they'll never be cool as they are
>also all the chess leaders are literally old men who get a power kick from trashing young chess novices.
The number 1 chess player in the world is 31 years old and he's been no1 for like a decade. What the frick are you chatting about?
Nothing interesting.
Chess grandmasters aren't genius savants. The majority of their strategies come from watching old games and being able to recognise patterns when playing the game. That doesn't really carry over to much else, especially not tabletop games that rely on dice rolls
It's actually a fairly common parrot comment from Hikaru fans(Very strong grandmaster) on youtube and the likes. People just like mimicking their idles. ie. The le fischer random screechers in here who have never played a "random" version of the game and hardly play the real version either.
I played chess like twice in my life and concluded that the only reason anyone would learn to master such a simplistic boring game is because it boosts their ego

All platforms are using different systems, which is annoying as frick.
There are a lot of pages discussing how the lichess rating compares to the fide elo and it's apparently several hundred points inflated.
I got my elo from chess.com, I have no idea how that translates.
I'm pretty sure that what that number even means changes fairly frequently though as influxes of new players join and skew the ratings one way or another.
Like I'm rated at around 650 but I can beat the 1100 bot pretty easily
No, I don't know what FIDE is and I regularly get my ass handed to me by the israelite bot 'Noah' on Chess.com.
>playing chess with tiny bottles of alcohol that still contain alcohol in them
not in my presence
I'm 1800 classic, 1950 rapid and 1850 blitz

Watch it.
ayy watch it im walkin over here
AMATERASU
>Hol up D, why do White Knights tryna save the Black Queen if they playin fo the other team?
If FIDE is an abbreviation for "Fool's mate I Don't see coming, Everytime", then yes.
When will a Black grandmaster become the world champion in chess?
Never, sir.
When you can attach a computer implant to their brain. Chess died at the turn of the century anyways so it none of it matters.
>Chess died at the turn of the century anyways
Wut
Chess died at the turn of the century.
Chess died with 9/11
i mean coincidentally, yeah kinda
No, not really. Compare its previous popularity to now. Go is on the verge of death too.

I'd hire her right on the spot if she came looking like that. Smart girl.
>Woman becomes the world's best chess player
>fiction
I will never not lightly chuckle
troony will become the world champion in female chess.
My sides would never recover.
a woman was ranked 8th highest chess player, so why is this so laughable?
incels need to have sex, seriously.
Call me when she's actually the 1st.
there are about 90% more men than women that play chess. it's estimated 500-600m people play chess. there are obviously more chances for anomalies like magnus on mens side.
Yes and we see that one in the top 10. I would honestly like to see a woman be rank 1 in any sport. Would make for a good underdog story.
Women can't even get rank 1 in a women only sport anymore thanks to trannies.
there are plenty. just because incels sperg out that a 10/10 women doesn't want to date a 3/10 like themselves, doesn't mean they can't achieve plenty in sports that don't require as much athleticism.
>there are plenty
Name some.
I have no idea what that is.
This ain't checkers? The frick kind of game is this?
You know it’s porn when all chess pieces are white.
That actually required a conscious effort by the director, since if he only have got a random chess playset, it would have black and white pieces. He actually got two playsets, discarded the black pieces, and put only the white ones on the board.
last genre where directors have creative freedom to realize their visions
>only the white ones
Might just be one of those glass sets where the pieces are either clear of frosted, had one like that.
Sounds like absolute kino, tbh. What did the auteur director mean by this?
movie so good they created chess in real life too
It's arguably like yugioh. Except, unlike yugioh, they made the game too simple and didn't copyright the rules so anyone can play chess without paying them royalties

Although the International Chess Federation recognizes more than 1,700 grandmasters worldwide (approximately 15 percent of whom are from Russia), only three are black.
Everyone knows it's easier to play as white.
why did she do it?
Hate to break it to you, but most Russian champions are actually israelites or from the ex Soviet republics.
The female GOAT Judit Polgar who played exclusively against men is also a Hungarian israelite.
post statistically data that proofs this or else you're just generalizing
Kasparov's mother is Armenian so he's a filthy goy!
>thread about chess miniseries

Unironically have a nice day
race is tied to intelligence, and intelligence is tied to chess ability. its just the simple facts that when you talk about the greatest chess players, it will be inevitable for people to notice the trend of whites dominating the game.
I'm not even the one talking about it but you are clearly mad
I have 2.2 billion in stock and real estate. I don't know what FIDE is and its not important, I let other people handle that shit for me.
>2.2 billion in stock and real estate.
Black person , i had 4.7 billions in real estate when i was 18. What are you doing with your life poorgay?
inventing devices that will allow humanity to prosper.
if they're so smart why do they let themselves be ruled by violent thuggish morons?
have fun with your western propaganda while you live in a hoa hellhole housing development
yes thats why everyone wants to live in russia, you are planning to move to russia right anon?
keep seething.
so you can't answer a simple question?
godspeed non-hypocrite non-coward anon
So you are?
I am. Can't wait to see St. Petersburg
yes, because god forbid the israelite nited states of Shillmerica have any more socialism beyond helping laqueesha and tyrone shoot each other up with bullets and heroin.
No and chess is for midwits.
I love chess but haven’t seen this yet, worth a watch?

It's ok. She basically undefeatable and super smart, which was boring for me.
It wasn't that bad. She lost several times, even lost to the main dude twice. In the end she even had help from her friends to beat him. They could have played up the girl power shit way worse than they did.
I would play you but I've gotta eat dinner in 2 minutes.
I hope more people post chess links though

Chess greatly helps to improve your intellect so play it more.
I love these threads, although I'm sure it's just one autist who keeps making them kek
Alright.
Boobs
chess is such a solved game,
every player does the exact same 10 moves.
>muh castling (should never have been in the game
They should just make it Fischerrandom already.
>every player does the exact same 10 moves.
Not me, I do things differently and then lose!
>chess is such a solved game,
yes and it was pretty much a solved game BEFORE computers.
Now it's just a machine learning competition, which I guess could be interesting, but it's not chess.
true this is why there no one ever loses to a grandmaster
The people who lose are the ones who have a harder time memorizing computer moves.
they only lose to Grandmasters because they choose the wrong machine learnt strategy.
Chess is locked because it doesn't facilitate enough randomness, it's less about skill and more about memory.
also all the chess leaders are literally old men who get a power kick from trashing young chess novices.

The number 1 chess player in the world is 31 years old and he's been no1 for like a decade. What the frick are you chatting about?
that's the number one in the world, not regional or local, which is 99.999999 percent of the playerbase
most chess players are boomers (and older than that)
of course the best are the young ones but you rarely ever see them
>also all the chess leaders are literally old men who get a power kick from trashing young chess novices
Bruh, most are millennials.
>an amish girl is literally rank 10
chess players peak between ages 20 and continue till 40 which is when they decline. what's this nonsense about boomers lmao

Wrong. Counting variants accurately is the most important chess skill.
>Counting variants
Unironically what do you mean by this?
he probably means than you can calculate how good your possible moves are, each piece has a value
chess doesn't really transfer to other skills or even other games.
it's like thinking you can play the violin because you are a very good pianist.
Much less interesting than letting an AI do the same.

I don't know how to play chess
It will take you 10 minutes to learn the rules with some youtube clip.
I played chess like twice in my life and concluded that the only reason anyone would learn to master such a simplistic boring game is because it boosts their ego
Is there anywhere I can start playing Go against a computer and not get my ass kicked?
Anon, losing is part of getting good
You don't learn a winning strategy by steamrolling your foe
I'm pretty bad at chess. Although it's easy to forget how much worse I could've been.

Like I'm rated at around 650 but I can beat the 1100 bot pretty easily
Lichess uses glicko2 rating system and the numbers are much higher than Elo based FIDE rating.
>kill all of the enemies' pieces leaving only their king

Wow, great game morons
There's one woman in the top 100 chess players in the world and she's ranked 99th. This show is silly.
