Shockwave Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Took me 18 tries to beat that Deadpool bot on the Chess.com app. He was only rated 1300 but the dude was playing flawless games against me. I've beaten 1600 bots in the past without this much trouble. Now I'm working on the Wonder Women. I'm in the 1300's on daily if anyone wants to play send a PM. Don't want to post my username on here cause it's my real last name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I’m only paying attention to the chess World Cup for Magnus Carlsen since he’s never won it. Was also watching Hikaru. Carlsen just played a perfect game to move on from the Ukrainian chess player. Totally dominant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I've never really got the appeal of Chess. It feels so...limiting. It basically discourages lateral or unconventional thinking. It's just applying a bunch of rigid set principles and calculating from there. When i play, i generally just get bored immediately and start moving pieces around because who cares. Maybe something funny will happen. It's always touted as this epitome of "strategic thinking". But in reality, the best strategic thinkers are people who are actually able to think outside of the rigid patterns and conceive of completely different alternatives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Magnus won the FIDE World Cup for the first time. Satisfying because I only watched it for him (and Hikaru a little). Pragg is gonna be a name in the chess world though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
