It’s not perfect. But if you zoom the website way in, you simply get a frame for each move and the board is of the size you want. Janky, but it works. Let’s see here.
I don’t like black’s second move. Such smartassery.
I like that you responded with a superior smartassery. I probably would have just played solid and let him keep digging.
Yeah, 28 is nice. He wasn’t particularly backed up or congested, or that committed. Had the white bishop. You just said “move the f pawn and die.”
43: two moves too late you fucking asshole (I guess that’s 21, black).
Yeah, that was beautiful. Until the sequence was all there, there was no point at which the threat was exact and visible. It helped you that he panicked. Not that he made huge blunders, but he was aimlessly flailing, not designing any kind of approach towards what was obviously a poisonous structure. But the long range thinking is impressive.
You really need the opponent’s pieces to be occupied away from the king’s side and yours all to be aiming straight at it for that sacrifice to work. At the very least you need two well aimed pieces supporting the queen, and a one piece advantage in the theatre.
This game has nothing too notable, except for being my favourite kind of game: slow, systematic destruction. It wasn’t really fair because I have been making a lot of silly mistakes and am underrated. I just want to try this embed thing.
(note: you have to put the cursor right before the first ‘<’ and backspace to get rid of the autogenerated code block, which will not render the embedding.)
By the time I had navigated through his thicket of tricks and knew he didn’t have enough pieces for more, my time was low, so I speed ran to the endgame where I knew he would be useless.
In hindsight, I should have mated him with the pawn.
Its funny i used to be stuck on lichess on a pretty low rating, had sunk 1500, because basically its harder to play against idiots. Its too boring and the predictable routine is infuriating. So I started on another site with actual humans and mostly experienced players, and my rating shot up about 400/500 points instantly. I mean the ELO, not the sites rating.
You said you were around 2000 lichess before for some reason you edited. That’s a 2000 game I guess, but where’s the panache?
2000 is what I am, by the way, but took a bit of a dip going from 10 to 10+5. These 10+5 fuckers do not know what “2 pawns down and positionally losing” means. They will fight at 2000 level the entire way down the abyss.
I mean what one is looking for in these 10 fives is idally a longer game with the same clip. But that’s not what you get. People know they basically cannot lose on time (I found one yesterday that somehow managed, but I offered him a draw, I’m tired of this time out shit. I was better but not clearly winning, though I tend to convert those 9/10), so they just find a way out of any strategy. But they’re not actually playing strategy, it’s like the obverse of the pazer that’s always looking for some tactical trick.
I think I’m getting the hang of it though. That guy who timed out (a 2100) was already a game (almost) won on strategic grounds.
The advantage in chess over say, forum physics posts, is that you’re placed in your rating by your moves. Your physics moves are like 150 elo but no one corrects you and apparently you don’t like to check yourself.
You get away with ‘winning’, or at least destroying, by irritating through seer dumb error, like Sauwelios.
Im not pretending to be a good chess player throwing in Napoleon about a mid range internet game. Im just telling you my rating in terms of the site you play at.
