@thechessnerd 1 b4.

dare to drop your favorite chess opening and I will roast you ⤵️

@A53774Adam @EndgameaiChess @Grok, explain to this account why classical chess is superior for demonstrating chess strength and understanding than skittles (blitz) and why long matches of classical chess have been the standard for determining a chess world champion since 1886, and why. Thank you.

@MaxMurrayX @EndgameaiChess the entitlment classical chess gets is so crazy, blitz is just as important and is not inferior to classical chess at all, if that was case, then the best classical players would not be the best blitz players

🇭🇺 Judit Polgar: “Classical chess is going through a difficult time” In an interview with Firstpost, Judit Polgar spoke about classical chess, faster formats, and the future of the Chess Olympiad: “I think classical games are going through a difficult time in some sense because the pace of life has accelerated in every area. It is quite obvious that rapid chess is more attractive to the strongest players, perhaps not only to Magnus, but also to others. And I really believe rapid chess can be just as competitive. It can even be more interesting for spectators. For example, the Chess Olympiad is currently played in a classical format and lasts two weeks. I firmly believe that, for many reasons, it would make much more sense to hold it in just one week and with shorter time controls.”

@ReggieRaccoonOK One can never have too many dice.

I have acquired some dice for The Full Nelson. Possibly more than are strictly necessary. #spreadthelard

@LibertyForAll19 The first session we allowed my younger brother to join our gaming group (late 1970s) he was assigned to roleplay the torchbearer hireling.

People acing like henchmen and hireleings is bad thing. God I have come to see if it isn't actually 1983, the last thing I would wanna do is play theses. It sounds soooo boring when people online talk about it.

Posting from here today. Cheers everyone! Thank you for following my humble account.

@ThankGod1903 All the pieces go back into the same box when the game is over.

Life is a Chess game in play. Just ensure you are not the GAMBITED PAWN.

@SeanEee_Me @EndgameaiChess I don’t care if i chess grows or tries to become mainstream. Only the people wanting to make money off the game care about that. Enjoy your skittles. Classic chess is not for everybody and never has been.

@MaxMurrayX @EndgameaiChess people always wonder why cant the game of chess grow and become mainstream? then when you see a proper solution to that you complain saying its not "real chess" rapid is real chess hahaha

@archpng Paging @Architectolder 📢 You had best be sitting down for this one.

The Sculpture House designed by Jacques Couëlle, France (1962).

@thechessnerd We are calling it "check" mate.

What are we calling this mate?

@Theo_Onyejiaku @EndgameaiChess Classical chess is not for everybody, and never has been. Enjoy your skittles games. Cheers!

@MaxMurrayX @EndgameaiChess You don’t get the point. Can you sit and watch a classical game for almost 3hrs? Considering the pace of life? Rapid time control is between 10-15mins and that’s totally fine with most people-at least, this is the current trend, as to why Classic chess is no longer attractive.

@PhysInHistory When the box is opened, does the cat see Erwin Schrödinger dead or alive?

@PhysInHistory @Grok, this image does not show the Earth in the correct position within our own Milky Way. We are further out from the centre on the spirals, correct? What say you?

Everything you’ve ever known is on that dot-does that change your perspective? ✍️

@Architectolder Fine, I see it more as a toned-down white, which makes an otherwise stark Black & White scheme muted and not garish. Even elegant. Works fine.

Newly repainted home along my daily walk. What do you think about the black trim with the yellow paint on the wood part.

You dismissed it as having nothing to do with, and you didn’t know the taxonomy (names) of the opening. That’s why I don’t think you have ever taken a serious look at 1 b4. Also, you are slavish to method and principle, but moves in chess are strongest when made for specific reasons, to paraphrase Tal. So, yes, those are the the reasons I believe you have casually dismissed the opening. You are a strong player, so you have undoubtedly considered the opening, but a serious look? A really serious look? I doubt it.

@MaxMurrayX What makes you think I haven't looked at 1.b4? I'm a professional, I've looked at everything. Literally.

Here comes the twist: The French playing the English against the Dutch changed his mind and went for a Catalan!

Time slows down in a gravitational field because gravity and acceleration are equivalent (Einstein’s equivalence principle), so objects and signals must follow curved geodesics through warped spacetime, and traveling along a warped curved path takes longer than the equivalent straight-line distance in flat spacetime resulting in less proper time elapsing for clocks and all causal processes deeper in the gravitational well.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Traveling along a curve takes longer than going in a straight line.

In general relativity, the time an object experiences depends on its acceleration. But time in quantum physics is a universal parameter. Physicists say they want to use a special type of clock to test the difference. youtube.com/watch?v=j5rwok…

@GMAlexColovic Look at 1 b4 methodically instead of hand-waving it away and wishing me luck is all I am suggesting. How can you lecture people about method and then not apply one?

@GMAlexColovic David Howell talks about “free styling” all the time, by which he means playing the openings without formal knowledge of variations. I would say he even coined the phrase in this use. @DavidHowellGM

New verb in the chess lingo. To freestyle. Waiting for suggestions that use Fischer and Random as a composite verb.
