I want to share this nice article (published in 2019) about “how to think in chess”.

https://www.chess.com/article/view/how-to-think-in-chess

It describes exactly the point where I’m at, setting up the correct thought process.

Best quote: “Get into the habit of calculating. I'm not even asking you to calculate accurately. That's important, but it's the next step. The first step is to train yourself to calculate, period.”

🔍 Rediscovering the Essence of Chess - The Virtues of Slow Play
In today's fast-paced world, have we lost sight of the true purpose of chess? 🤔 My latest blog post explores the benefits of slow chess in a world of blitz and rapid games. The road to improvement might not be paved with speed and tricks.
♟️ Chess is about the pursuit of perfection, where every move is a masterpiece (well, sometimes) and every strategy flawless (well, maybe)."

#Chess y @lichess #chesspunks

https://egbert-azure.github.io/the-virtues-of-slow-play/

I just learned that in daily #chess, you're totally allowed to research your position to help decide on the next move. It's not cheating. It goes back to playing chess via correspondence, where both sides are allowed to read books or other static references to help decide on the next move.

It's pretty fun because it's a whole other style of chess, giving an opportunity to really learn openings and apply the ideas and strategies immediately instead of waiting for it to come up in a random game.

Classic chess game of the week for me is Rubinstein-Znosko Borovsky St Petersburg 1909.

Rubinstein only learned the game as a teenager (16-18) but became a challenger for the World Championship so there is hope for all adult learners.

The diagram is the key moment in the game with White to move

I'm relaxing in the sunshine reading 'How Life Imitates Chess' by Kasparov where he's discussing Botvinnik's attempts to make a more human-like #chess-playing computer program (rather than a pruned brute-force approach) and the phrase "No plan survives contact with the enemy" comes to mind... are there any implementations that take into account the most common responses to a given position and move? Stockfish calculates based on perfect play continuing on *both* sides, right?

Sometimes I click on stories of top computer #chess and they’re 100% OMG it pushed the rook pawn forward two squares, so amazing. Yes the positional understanding you’d need to just push that rook pawn here, just, hat’s off.

Any other #chess players get this stuck in your head when you're not even thinking about chess? "Takes, takes. Takes, takes, takes ..."

Here's my new heuristic for determining which new tech doohicky is actually just a massive grift:

Are the companies making it sponsoring a #chess tournament? If the answer is affirmative, it's probably a grift.

A couple years ago there were #crypto sponsored events everywhere. Today, I see there is currently an #AI cup going on. A couple more of these and it will be confirmed that AI is as much a con job as crypto.

#Chess ebooks. HI guys One of my favourite board games is the chess. Here in Malta where I live there are no braille books or ebooks related to chess for us the blind chess players.

So please if there anyone who has unwanted braille books about chess or in Ebook or mp3 format chess books I sincerely appreciate if I can get one or two.
I hope that I’m not asking too much.
Thanks to everyone and have a nice day or the rest of it.

Can someone explain to me why the International Chess Federation needs to say anything about members who transition gender other than, “okay, we’ll update our files?”

Also, can we agree that segregating competitive chess players by gender is, and always was, manifestly absurd?

See also: why are any competitive activities/sports gender segregated? Would not demonstrable skill be the better delimiter?

The English Chess Federation (ECF) has said it won’t be a pawn in the International Chess Federation’s anti-trans game and will continue to welcome all players.

@jeremy_pm Good question actually!

First of all, there is no biological difference when it comes to #chess. That's why there is, in fact, also not a man's division. It's open for all basically. However, women can choose to participate in women's only division!

Why is that? Women are highly outnumbered by men in chess (it's 99% male afaik). Especially in competitive chess. Just because, you know, history, gender roles, and discrimination.

And because of statistics it's clear that ... (1/2)

Forgetting about transgender women being banned from women’s chess tournaments for a moment, can anyone explain to me why #Chess competitions are gendered? Is that due to male fragility?
After all it’s always been the Queens who rock the chessboard.

The first question that comes into my mind is, why does gender even matter when it comes to a game like chess?

#chess #FIDE #transgender

Ah now a relaxing game of #chess after a stressful day of work.

Three games later:

The only beneficial thing to come out of the banning of #transgender women from female ladders in #chess is it unambiguously lets you know who around you is a sexist piece of shit.
