Is /v/ good at chess?

Nah, you have to be some sort of super-autist to be good at that game.

I play Chess Time on my phone though, I'm not any good.

In my completely uneducated view, the next move I would make would be queen to F3? Stops the knight from moving because if you do then queen > pawn on F7 is checkmate, controls space on the right side of the board

>>385152743
I feel you man.
I hate playing but I want to get good at chess.
Hell, my strategy consists of killing every single enemy piece then promoting a pawn.
I suck.

I just can't think far enough ahead. Makes me feel like a moron.

You should probably take on F7 with the knight, forking queen and rook. Pretty sure it's actually blacks turn here

>not autismo enough to learn proper chess tactics

That's a mating attack.
I think there's still time for black to defend, but he's going to lose something.

>>385153681
F7 with the rook, don't you think? Checks the king, king can't eat rook because of the knight.

>>385152458
But who moves now?

No. I can beat pretty much anyone who doesn't know openings and plays and shit but I haven't put in the time to learn it.

>>385152458
bring out the pawn at the far left?

>>385152743
Well what's good at the game? Professional level? Cause yeah.. you have to be a super autist to study and practice the infinite amount of strategies and moves to be a pro.

But to chill with your friends and play some games, you need only a bit of common Sense and competitive spirit.

>>385153681
that guy here, F7 with the knight just makes you lose your knight to a king, losing a piece worth 3 points for a piece worth 1 point. Terrible move.

Also it's white's move because they've both made 3 moves so far and white went first.

>>385152458
THEY

>>385152458
1600 points probable on whatever that chess scale is, but I don't play chess and don't know any moves so I just wing it. Would lose to anyone who actually plays it and knows tactics.

>>385153780
you mean the bishop, right? it's possible but it only wins a pawn, taking with the knight forces Queen e7 and next move you just take the rook.

I've never been interested in chess but I'm a complete sucker for spess muhreens so I find this really entertaining, and honestly I've improved a little bit from where I began.
How should I respond to this shit? No matter what I do I always end up getting it up my butt

I'm reasonable in untimed games (like on gameknot or lichess, where you can take a whole day to make a move), but I really can't handle timed games. I always either run out of time or make blunders.

>>385153984
It's just like in video games, it's like you know how to play Street Fighter and your idiot friend doesn't know how to throw a fireball. If you are at all competent in the game at all you will win literally 99% of games, probably even 100% of them. Chess is the same, if you face someone who is supremely better then you, you will lose. What you said only works if all the players are at a strictly shit tier amateur level. Anyone who's played any game with an ELO system knows this. Players with higher ELO then you just shit on your life.

White Bishop @ c4 takes Black Pawn @ f7 and checks the king, forcing a castle?

>>385154193
by not moving your knight forward on your second turn, move the midleft one up a space instead

I won 2, lost 4 and drew 1. It was a fun experience and our team won because we had the most points. I also remember some guy's younger sister asking me for my number. I declined because she was like 11 and I was 17 but that didn't stop my friend ...

Anyways, I never really played enough to think far ahead either. I think most chess players develop that insight from years of playing. I dropped the game the focus on A' levels and I haven't played in some years.

>>385154035
gg, but you still could have recovered from when you forfeit.

>>385154445
I've tried that. Didn't work.

Chess is hard

>>385152458
My entire strategy is war of attrition

My game's always end in stalemate

>>385154790
you can just take d5 and then force the queen to move by playing by playing knight c3 or Qf3 depending on how you opened

>>385154790
nono i meant on your second move in general, not in that situation specifically to move your D pawn
moving your king's knight when he blocks your E pawn with his own is just asking for that situation

It's blacks turn you nigs

can't castle in check, so you'd be forcing him to move and break his ability to castle

Uh what? Everyone knows the black pieces have an advantage, they're stronger and just overpower the white pieces.

>that guy here, F7 with the knight just makes you lose your knight to a king, losing a piece worth 3 points for a piece worth 1 point. Terrible move.

How does going to f7 with the white Knight make you lose the Knight to the King when white's Bishop is also attacking the f7 square?

>>385153818
White

>>385156273
Are you saying black moved his pawn one tile at a time

>>385154004
Um I think it's black's actually, knight has moved twice.

>>385156252
White moves first. At the turbo autism top level of chess, whoever gets Black plays to a draw, not a win

We need to petition to Hiroyuki to ban all vydia outside of chess on /v/. Very few games have the intellectual depth or complexity of chess.

What a crock of shit. I have ADHD as well and I've won plenty of games. Try gitting gud.

Tbh someone who has memorized a gorillion combinations will crush someone who's "very smart" but barely knows the basics.
It's a game of autism.

>>385152458
Its black's move, so d5?

Knight F7 is the best move. Chess isn't hard to learn or analyze. Watch analysis videos and you'll pick up quickly.

Dunno, I'm actually incredibly defensive when playing and a bitchy queen from the opposing side kills me so I'm learning to play more aggressively on my phone.

>>385152458
I only learned enough to beat my dad at it. Take that you old fuck.

In ok, used to play a shit ton in my Chem class during break periods.

Nowadays don't play at all, since my friends always fall for 3 turn checkmate set-ups. Every fucking time.
