Speaking of brilliant moves, I was pretty happy that I found the tactic in this position despite being garbage at chess. Feels like a move that's obvious when you see the position as a puzzle but it would have been easy to miss this in the game. (White to move and win.)

Maugrim posted:Is it Nxe5, leading to e.g. Rxf1 Qxf1 and black has to give up the rook to prevent mate? If so that's a really nice move, took me a while to spot. Yeah, that's the move, black can almost defend with Rgf6 but then you have a fork with Nd7+ so you end up winning at least the exchange + one pawn in every case I think

I just accidentally trapped a queen  I only realized when I started wondering why my opponent was taking so long with the retreating move. Chess is so loving hard.

rollick posted:Second place prize last time was $500,000. I don't think Nakamura makes that in a year on Twitch, unless he has great sponsorship. Seems like it would be worth the hit. The twitch leak a while back lists his income as $773k for the period covered by the leak which was about two years and included a time period before his channel was huge. That's also pure twitch income so donations, sponsorships and youtube income is not included. I think it's safe to say that Hikaru makes way more than 500k per year from streaming,

It would be cool if a Ding victory would cause a Chinese chess boom like with Anand and India. Personally I would bet on Nepo though.

Hand Knit posted:Got another one from my game today. Elementary themes always feel good. Maybe slightly harder than the last one or maybe slightly easier depending on your tastes. Rh3, and then it seems to me that black has to give up their queen or you can play Rh8+ Bxh8 Qg8#? Pretty hard in the sense that I think I looked at about a dozen different moves before finding this one. edit: eh, I'm slow Obfuscation fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Aug 1, 2022 |

Hans should have also sued Eric Hansen and added a lengthy section to the lawsuit where he explains how he definitely does not have a stockfish buttplug

I'm not sure if I've seen this exact same tactic in an Eric Rosen video but it seems like a thing that he would do. Oh no my queen. A Passing Feeling posted:Has anyone been watching the Chess.com Global Championship? Surprisingly good, real grandmaster-level chess mixed with weird moments like Duda playing the Bongcloud against Hikaru in a rated event?? I haven't been watch this event much but I do agree that Hess is a fantastic commentator. In general I find super-GM rapid much more enjoyable to watch than super-GM blitz.

Depends on how you define ”worth it” I guess, technically you can get roughly equal functionality for free on Lichess. I pay for Platinum on chess dot com because I like the game reviews and puzzles there more. (also I pay the old price which is less than what it costs now.)

So yeah the World Championship will start in about 30 minutes or so. For casting, Chess.com stream will have Daniel Naroditsky, Robert Hess, David Howell, Anish Giri, Fabiano Caruana, and Tania Sachdev and apparently there's also going to be an official FIDE stream with Anand, Dubov, Krush.

Game 12 and Ding opens with Colle. The openings in this match have been quite something.

GG Ding, I was rooting for Nepo until the end but looks like dude can't just handle these games mentally. Good match tho.

I hope they spend several episodes debunking the stockfish butt plug, they can bring in an expert to explain to the viewers what a "twitch chat" is

Feels like the easiest way to solve these is to find the flashiest move possible(Rg6 here) and then work backwards from there to figure out why it works. If the solution was boring, then nobody would post the puzzle.
