Whites go first but apart from that they are equal to blacks. It's ridiculous.

Degenerate

Don't understand anything other than on a very basic level but I have fun playing it.

What is really crazy is to go on Youtube and hear these "great" chess players break down step by step what are considered the greatest games of all time, played by Grandmasters. They'll tell you to pause and look at the board, try to figure out what move will be made next and it's always some "50 moves ahead teleports behind you" level shit instead of the basic shit I think of.

kek you both are terrible

It's dead.

>Queen protects the king

it's fun, i suck but ive been playing on lichess

It's useful for stimulating the brain; I think schools should have some mandatory chess lessons. It's annoying the modern faggots aren't interested in chess, and play Call of Duty instead.

chess = intellectuals game

Chess is okay. A little boring though. There does come a point where a game has been mostly figured out and the rest is essentially 50/50 mind games. Nothing wrong with that, but after the advent of computers that could beat humans these types of games just lost their appeal.

I like it

Ok so the pawn is obviously spear infantry, knights are calvary, and the king is the general. But what real life units were the bishop, the queen and the rook akin to?

Chess is not a solved game. Unlike checkers or tic-tac-toe, there are too many iterations for a computer to guarantee a win or draw. Computers can be very good at chess, but they will never be able to beat a human guaranteed

I like to put the big pointy one up my butt. Other than that overrated. There are video games now.

There's this cafe I go too on Sundays because of free parking in the city.

They have a chessboard there and I usually set it up and play with a friend if one comes with me. If I go alone I usually ask someone that is sitting by themselves to play. Almost every goddamn time they say "I don't know how to play but would love to learn"

How the fuck do you get 20+ years in age and not know the basic moves of chess.

Chess is that game where you throw away the pieces so you can play checkers on the other side of the board.

Jokes aside, it's a pretty neat game.

That's the fun of it; it can be played in multiple levels. Two noobs can have as much of a thrilling and fun game as two grand masters, provided that they're an equal match. Even playing against superior players can be very fun and educational, as long as you can take a loss.

>I think schools should have some mandatory chess lessons
They tried to do that when I was in primary school. They said it was an experiment and that they would maybe do that for all of Canada. They taught the rules using a giant rollable chessboard over the blackboard and it was neat. And then we played ONE GAME over the course of many weeks. The teacher was struggling to follow the rules and she hated it. At first the class had to vote for the next move against her, but she gave up on that and in the end we would just discuss with her what our next move should be and she would pretty much play both sites. I don't remember if "we" finished our game yet. I think it's still postponed. ANYWAY.

>"50 moves ahead teleports behind you"
That's a misconception. GM's rarely look more than 2 or 3 moves ahead, they are just the best moves. They also recognize certain formations and clumps that can yield spectacular combinations or sacrifices, pins or what not.

The Russkies trained 2 twin girls from a young age and they were GM's by 10 or something. Like anything, learn it young and practice.

I used to coach my local middle and high school teams. It's great.

Go is objectively better and more interesting.

And it can be played with m&ms or skittles

>use FIDE ranking for every citizen
>people at least at 1800 can teach at schools
>have a person (supervised by a teacher) teach a class once a week
>actual chess classes need a titled player
>artificially create a new market
>increase average IQ
>teach planning and strategy to young minds

Sounds like a great plan to help fix a nation tbqh. It looks harmless, but enforces logic.

you're full of shit. No human has been able to beat a chess computer on long time controls for a while now. They can still win occasionally in blitz because the computer has to severely limit its search depth.

Dey don call it tha game of Kangz fo no reason

Boring. Game for those who pretend to be smart.

Machine-assisted human players consistently beat pure computers though.

Played it in jail alot and lost a lot because my fellow inmates would beat me in like 3 moves with some special tricks

Wew, a decent puter program with old hardware will destroy most any human in a blitz game almost every time. Also the end game is easily computed by computers now and if there is a win they find it.

The only flaw they have now is computing positional play, they will grab a pawn and take a shitty position that might open some doors. You also have to get out of book play with them in the opening, its all coded easily.

The latest "AI" in the proggies is to make them play like humans, blunders and weird moves. Chess is dead and probably Go too, variants all the hotness now.

Nakamura did a showmatch sometime last year where he picked up a few blitz wins against a computer. Most games he just got smashed though. It literally takes the best blitz player in the world to compete with them even on that time control. He's beaten rybka and komodo at least once each if I remember right.

who cares?

>who cares?
just letting you know, asshole.

Too limited of a game. It makes fedoras feel smart so I hate it.

It's fun from time to time, and it's good intellectual exercise, but aside from that, I've always thought that people who devoted their life to it (the Bobby Fisher types) were pretty pathetic. If you have that kind of brainpower, you serve the world better as a scientist, mathematian, or engineer. Chess can be fun but ultimately it's just a board game.

Around the corner fromme there are some smelly hippy types that want to change the game so that the goal isn't to take the other's pieces , rather to dance around the board and finish back where you started. I hate them more than anyone else I've not ever met, and I'm a liberal.

Bobby Fischer played an important role in Cold War psy-ops by beating top Russians.

Furthermore the reputation of being a great chess player can give your opinions a bit more clout, like how Fischer hates Jews. Cucks try to explain it away by saying he was just crazy or something but deep down they know that in order to be the best chess player in the world (for his time) he had to have his head screwed on straight.

>2268
>still playing 2d idiot-chess
shiggy diggy

reminds me of bobby fischer
was he really being cheated by the soviets in sophisticated ways? was he just another schizo jew?

his later interviews are hilarious

Great brain exercise. I love it personally and am pretty damn good at it. I wish I played it more desu but its not that important in my life.
Pretty red-pilled in some ways except that the queen is the best piece. Also its male dominated, women have to have their own category because they cant compete with men.

Is that the game that Martin Shkreli plays? I love it if so

> If you have that kind of brainpower, you serve the world better as a scientist, mathematian, or engineer.
Chess is a game of pattern memorization that requires serious study from a young age to compete at the super grandmaster level. Just because a person is good at chess doesn't mean they would make a good scientist or mathematician.

>How the fuck do you get 20+ years in age and not know the basic moves of chess.
lol this. I'm not very good at it but I still know how to play and find it fun from time to time.

this tbqh

board games are a low-tier format for gaming

Tash-Kalar is a much better game.
AND it was designed by white people
Chess was designed by Poos-in-Loos

class game

played by aryan people (INDIA, PERSIA)

and I mean not the untermenschen but the nobles leading those great nations

gives logic powers to fight the jews who like checkers mostly

muh cards

buy more

goym

>gives logic powers to fight the jews who like checkers mostly
a large number of soviet chess greats were jews, Mario

no, the cards are a function of the game and they come in the box

its not a collectible game like Pokemon or Magic or other childish shit like that.

this is pretty redpilled.

Chess is about 2 major things:
>1. Autistic memory and pattern recognition, playing thousands and thousands and thousands of games and getting tutoring with stronger teachers

>2. Psychological warfare, where you play the other person a lot more than you play the game, this is very subtle and far more powerful.

Computer's have somewhat killed 2, which was the real fun of the game, especially competitively. In many countries it is part of the culture, so grandparents teach grandchildren and it's a fun way to learn and spend time with someone you look up to.

The ability or talent for the game is mostly genetic and innate, it can be developed or ignored and snuffed out as your brain matures and becomes worse at learning the game.

The psychological aspect of the game is there for casual players who don't rely on computers, it's still a lot of fun to play over the board with someone. Online chess is pretty boring and people often cheat to boost their ego. The beauty of the game is if you play it over several days and take time to really think about the moves with someone who is as passionate about winning.

I don't think there's a high correlation to intelligence, just memory and experience.

Classic board games are about respecting a tradition and culture that stems from a long history and the civilization that created them. You do a child a great service by teaching them something like Chess, Shogi, Go, because it open's their mind to creative play and stimulates their imagination.

Pic related is an actually engaging game compared to autistic chess.

Bishop to king seven. Checkmate, I think.

I liked playing the variant where you take a shot of vodka every time you capture a piece.
It's a great equalizer of skill levels, I don't know why they don't do it like this in the tournaments

>...by giving birth to an heir

Pleb.

bretty good, tho i never play black

Been waiting for a chess mention. Let's talk it. What's your favourite opening? Favourite defence? What are you ranked, chess.com or FIDE if you're that good. Me, pretty boring. Kings pawn. Sicilian, 1480 chess.com. I like a 4 knights game or maybe a Lopez. Depending on opponent. Haven't played for half a year or so but keep up with my tactics training

What I've taken from chess.
>Your oponents will be planning as you plan. They may see outcomes you don't and you may see things they don't.
>Not every person can make every move.
>You needs pawns as much as leaders.

reee

jesus i can't believe i just got baited by an autist

Good for increasing logic skill bar in Sims.

Chess.com has an archive of masters games that go back 300 years or so

I like traditional games. Like Chess, shogi, backgammon, mahjong.

Shame I have no friends to play with.

It is perhaps the most based game there is

>invented by whites
>requires great deal of intellect
>can't be a chimp with muscles and no brain and be good
>boosts your ability to analyse, memory and planning

I guess the 2-50 moves ahead is when there are a handful of pieces on the board and it's usually for the powerful pieces

Also would be interested if anyone has a good book on opening strategy, I have practiced in game play a lot but am clueless as to how to open a game / have a starting strategy

>>invented by whites

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess

Chess is believed to have originated in India, some time before the 7th century

Whites. LOL

How'd I do, Sup Forums?

hungarian/khan gambit

1300s, still learning but its a joy. especially when you can chat with other people around the world about their country/life.

kings pawn is p basic but i use it too.

In my late 20s and just learned it a few years ago

In the end, isn't it just memorization? I mean there are hundreds of moves and strategies that are named.

I've always wanted to play Go, seems like it requires actual strategy and is more open

Congratulation on finally becoming white, burger.

>Congratulation on finally becoming white, burger.

becoming white by playing Poo-in-Loo game

LOL

>poo-in-loo game
>mastered by either Jews or Russians
Otherwise, great game to play!

I used to go to chess club when I was at school and fuck everything up for the nerds that took it seriously.

My favorite opening is probably the Colle Zukertort. I usually just play defense by ear.

My rating is trash because I haven't played a ranked game in 6 years.

>Fools mate
Congrats, you won against a retard

Fun to play against other people online, while playing their moves against Rybka.

>poo-in-loo game

That's like saying chicken tikka masala is an indian dish.

Gungi is the objectively superior intellect based game though.

>plays autistic Mongolian card game
>talks shit about Chess

how so? details. for the sake of learning and not googling, not argument.

Chess is a great memory game. Memory is highly correlated with intelligence. I'm great at chess therefore I'm a big-dicked genius.

>plays autistic Mongolian card game

Tash-Kalar isnt a card game. Its an abstract game similar to chess with moves printed on cards. Also it was developed in Czechoslovakia. Not Asia.

I'm just a boring casual.

I open with Queen's pawn, and defend with double King pawn and Slav (changed from QGD to avoid its Exchange variation). Rather orthodox.
I sometimes play KP for fun and play the Italian.

The first part of the game is all memorization. Once you do a certain amount of moves (depending on the opening) you leave book and it's up to innovation.

The first and most important part of chess is a science, but if two people have equal memory an element of art comes into play.

In my experience the first people to claim chess are solved are people that have never played it and don't really understand how many positions are possible (well over 10^80.) The game is not solved and is a ton of fun especially if you add in variants like chess960 (where all the backrow pieces are randomized and mirrored.)

Like everything, the people who talk the most shit about it are generally fucking terrible.

>based Jew is best Jew

is this something like magic the gathering? looks pretty autistic desu familia

>is this something like magic the gathering? looks pretty autistic desu familia

no, its more like chess or go

What about computers being able to beat everyone?

atleast they dont shit post like you.

Wasn't chess mandatory in the sovjet union? Y'all are freaking commies

I have to head out guys.
