was is always the worst possible outcome.

having discussed all this - and so many bans on Russia already. Do you think world can cut off from Russia?
That is not possible -the are one of the biggest oil producer in the world and banning Russia is banning the oil. this is not going to work? Has EU banned buying oil from Russia as well?

until humans (specially the ones with power) don't realize that we are all dependent on each other we'll remain progressing much slower than we could...
but well, maybe enough of war?

would love to get back to chess on this thread.

including discussing chess strategies and tactics, that would be interesting too

The truth is that if strategies and types of moves were included in the thread, it would be very interesting, because not only would we be aware of a current global situation that burdens us in some way, but apart from the events of chess contests and tournaments, if at any time It goes into more technical matters, the analysis of moves and/or strategy would make the thread much more interesting for me, because I even look for the board that I have to make the moves physically, this is very interesting, besides, I have many years without chess game it would be interesting to play again or practice the possible moves according to a scenario played by experts.

I would not advise anyone to play with the computer (unless it's a problem solving or tactical assault on chess.com which is very funny and useful for developing tactical thinking) as the computer plays boring (and hard even if you adjust the difficulty level) - it beats everything mood to play. Playing with a person is always more adrenaline and entertainment.

I am not sure it is the right time to learn playing board games. People do not have time to play board games.
THese board games were popular in 90's when friends and cousins used to get together and there was no distraction like mobile phones and TV. Chess is also dying game.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your last statement saying that Chess is a dying game. In fact, it is actually the opposite of what you just said!

Ever since the release of Queen's Gambit on NetFlix, the popularity of Chess has been steadily increasing over the years. With a lot of Chess GMs (Grand Masters) streaming on Twitch and/or YouTube, lots of beginners have started to watch them and learn the basics and fundamentals as explained by these players.

Given also that our Chess World Champion is rather a cool guy who consistently communicates with people (Magnus Carlsen), the popularity of Chess has been off-the-roof compared to the previous years.

chess is dying game?
Maybe in your country Chess game are slowly dying but in fact in my country young chess players has a chance to play or compete to other school because during our intramural which all the section of our school facing each other. And the winner of that is have a chance to compete against different place in our town/ even in my country.

Board games are really good for enhancing our knowledge and strategy .

I agree - chess is not very popular in our schools and people are not playing much.
There are less people interested in the game, maybe different regions have different mindsets. But playing the board games in our area has decreased, to be honest.

Chess is game for high IQ and most people has an average IQ ergo sports like basketball, baseball and other sports that more on physical talent is much favorite by students since people who's watching then can appreciate while on Chess, Only people with high IQ understand and appreciate what they are doing on that board games. I'm playing chess but just for fun and not in serious way.

This thread should be lock or change the title to Chess general discussion since the 2021 championship is already over and Carlsen once again prove his dominance on this sports.

In a lot of countries, chess is getting put on the school program and I can understand why. It helps to think in a tactical and strategical way, stay focused for longer periods of time,... Thanks to Carlsen, chess rewon on popularity again so I agree that chess is not really dying, on the contrary.

the ~50-100k online users on lichess everyday would disagree with these statements @Theones
I like to play board games...

@Boristhecat
you are right! It's really boring to play with the computer, on my original message I suggested playing using a computer
but it's much better to play against a real human for the reasons you mentioned.

LOL. I would give you one excerpt from an interview with Garry Kasparov, but it is not in English. The bottom line is this: with the development of the Internet, chess has received a giant impetus in the development and the number of players and spectators has become much larger. You do not notice this because you are involved in other areas and against the background of other areas, chess may have developed less. But to call them a dying game is complete nonsense.

I started playing a lot a couple months ago, my favorite website for chess is lichess.org
you can play on computer or download the app and play on the phone, I prefer playing on the phone buy on the computer you can draw lines and points of interest so I know people who likes it more.

lichess also has lessons and it's opensource

another big one is chess.com

you can find good videos and lessons on youtube too
if you're up to playing together send me a dm and I'll tell you my username there

I play mostly 5 minutes blitz and 10 minutes rapid games

It takes a while to get used to the clock and it's normal to blunder when we're starting, but I like that lichess plots a chart with your mmr and you can check your progress, I raised my ranking from >950 to 1250 on blitz and 1300-ish on rapid

it's fun and addicting!

Guys, I'm a total noob and inexperienced with regards to chess.
Could anyone tell me which platforms or websites you watch these matches on?

Is it on Youtube!!? Any other relevant information!!??

There are tons of materials available in the internet but I would highly recommend watching videos from Daniel Naroditsky. He has courses on his YouTube channel that teaches opening techniques and theory. I also recommend chess.com and subscribing to their monthly promos. They also teach basic chess principle that would somehow give you an understanding of the fundamentals of the game.

As someone who has been playing chess for more than 10+ years, I also recommend watching several games from Agadmator's channel. It really helped me observe tactics and understand the thinking of GMs in their respective field and games.

It's not clear exactly what you're suggesting. "By default" everyone is in favor of peace - even those who started the war, it's just that everyone sees the peace differently. I think after Russia sets foot on the path of peace, recognizes its crimes and starts paying compensation for them, no one will be against the fact that Russian athletes return to all competitions.

Correct but then again everyone nation has their own interests and their definition of peace.
When its about peace in muslim country the whole is quiet and asleep but when it is white skin everyone would want to condemn the attackers -- Has there been any discussion done about Kashmir, Afghanistan, Syeria, Palestine?

Let's not add watbautism to this topic, because then we will endlessly jump from one topic to another. At the moment, all countries of the world have a consensus on the crimes of Russia, some countries like the occupied Belarus support the war of conquest, but the majority have a clear position on the ongoing events.
The longer this drags on, the more isolated Russia will fall, how many chess players or other athletes from North Korea do you know?

Today I got a chance to Ukrainian friend - they said - all the women have left the country - while men are staying behind to help army.
The Russian are stealing their everything - which include food and pans as well. I failed to understand why they are doing that.

I just read this morning that an Indian 16 year old teenager Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa managed to beat Magnus Carlsen in a Blitz Chess tournament. He is only one of three Indians grandmasters who managed to beat Carlsen. Blitz chess and normal chess games are very different, the players don't have the time at hand to think too deep about moves ahead. It is much easier to make mistakes. In a traditional tournament Carlsen would have probably won. But still, such a big win at such a young age his a pretty big boost for his self esteem. I hope he will keep training and maybe go for a world championship match vs Carlsen at one point. Now I am wondering how this Carlsen loss will impact betting on matches in the future. It is just a matter of time until we have a new world chess champion.

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/22/sport/rameshbabu-praggnanandhaa-magnus-carlsen-chess-spt-intl/index.html

That's actually pretty cool, you've got a bragging rights that you've beat the World Champion. Ramesh will definitely be a big player if he continues and pursues chess and becomes a competitive player, this win easily gave him a spotlight and people are going to expect, now that you mention it, I'd love to see him fight Carlsen in a standard match.

This is a big achievement for India as Rameshbabu will bring recognition to his own country. People might have been amazed that Ramesh at his young age, he's already a grandmaster and is able to win against the current world champion in chess. If he will keep on improving his talent with a lots of trainings, i guess in no time, he will be the new world champion at a very young age. Ramesh has a very bright future ahead, hopefully he can reach his goals in life with all his determination and persistence.

indians have a very sharp mind. They are excelling in every field it is good to learn that young kids are showing some interest in chess.
But since kids are more into online gaming it is getting more attention, the kids are smart and fast these days so they don't like wasting their time. They do so many things at one time

But there's a detail that makes a lot of difference, because in the countries you mentioned, the war is mainly caused by terrorist groups (forgive me if I'm saying something wrong due to my ignorance).
In the situation between Russia and Ukraine, the war is being led by a country that until then had a certain reputation to uphold.
It has nothing to do with white or black people.

Really?? Do you really think those are terrorists which brought US to Afghanistan - 20 years and they were unable to catch a few group of people. Seems like that group is more stronger than super powers though.
20 years of invasion on Afghanistan. One country freedom fighter is other country traitors. So everyone has their definition for defence. But this is no justification.
