I've only been playing 1 or 2 games a day to stop myself burning out and plummeting down the ranking - the slow and steady strategy. So I played the next game to feel like the 1000 rating is justified, and I lost 😂

I set this as my 2nd monitor wallpaper, so I will be judged by Gotham 24/7.

Do yall think this will improve my chess skills?

let me know if there are ways to improve my midgame and endgame pls and thx u

i swear whenever a little kid tries to paly the scholar's mate against me i realize that they actually have zero board awareness so after kicking the queen they move to f3 then somehow they miss a fork

I love this game

I’ve had multiple people ask me my name just right off the bat and it’s always made me a bit uncomfortable…one time a person asked, I ignored them so they kept asking…eventually they just resigned lol…idk I just don’t feel comfortable giving out my real name to random strangers over the internet…

body text (not optional)

i have seen this type of mate in ig videos but i dont know if it has a name. I was shaking!

My first smothered mate!!

I've always played my opening like this across numerous games and this is the first time I've gotten a brilliant for castling while my bishop is being attacked. (I also mauled this guy)

So it's finally confirmed!

I plan to compete in a tournament on December 12 2026 :D .

However I do wish to ask that if anyone has a single piece of advice for me to prepare, I would appreciate it.

Honestly I don't expect to win a single match, or even draw one for that matter, I'm mainly going there trying to learn. Im soo excited guys :D

What exactly is this sacrificing? The pawn on e4? Im confused. Very good move

I have never taken any course ,or read any chess book,just kept on playing my own way and kept on improving

Played these games with the guy, not crazy games, mostly some mistakes cost his the wins and he kept asking for a rematch. Fourth and final game my finger slipped blundering the rook this I lost (of time mind you).

Then he sents this message and blocks me out of the blue... I didn't even speak to him, no taunting nothing at all.
