I have Played a bot in a game of Chess based of Maia Bot they are similair rated my guess within 50 elo of each other... lifetime i have a 6-4 record against the bot, But I have created my Own Maia engine at the 1000, 1400 and 1800 level so i can play it at my leisure and Create my own database of games versus the average human... Yup you read that right... Maia bot has a correlation higher than any other Engine ever created compared with humans of the same rating. So whose the Bot? I will release a youtube video proving who is the bot after some discussions if anyone wants to guess...

if you wanna I can join a classroom wit you and talk about attacking plans!

Sorry, It's rated. meant to type "rated"

Do you ever get middle game positions where you don't know exactly what to do? In this video, I give 5 positional ideas for positions that occur pretty often: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-_X_hJ81Nk Pls watch till the end.

So, i just played untitled tuesday which is a swiss tournament with 11 rounds of 3min +1 sec increment. I played pretty ok until i reached rounds 9 and 10 where i struggled under time pressure and threw equal positions which caused me to lose. Any tips?

In the world of chess, we all know that checks and captures are the most powerful moves on the board. But what about the third most powerful and often forcing option? Enter "min-maxing." It's the art of maximizing your options and stifling your opponent's moves, all while strategically navigating the chessboard. As we delve into min-maxing, you'll discover how it unveils some of chess's most intriguing and influential positions, including one that can leave your opponent in a bind - zugzwang. Understanding Min-Maxing in ChessIn chess, min-maxing is the strategic principle of maximizing your own options, ideas, and attacks while simultaneously minimizing your opponent's. It's not merely about taking space or controlling the center; it's about optimizing every move to its fullest potential. Let's break it down further: Minimizing Your Opponent's Ideas and Moves: At the same time, min-maxing involves restricting your opponent's moves, ideas, and threats. By anticipating their threats and preventing their plans, you limit their options. Sometimes, the best way to minimize your opponent's options is to challenge their piece and offer a trade. Alternatively, you can make a move that defends or over-defends your pieces and pawns, making it harder for your opponent to attack through your position. Maximizing Your Moves: Min-maxing is all about making each move count. Consider moves that control key squares, lines, and files. Bonus points if you can have your pieces pointing in the king's direction, blocking pawns, or pinning pieces. These moves may seem unassuming, but they pave the way for a stronger position in the long run. Lets look at an example of Min-Maxing and how to calculate what the best min-max move is.In conclusion, min-maxing in chess is a strategy that often goes unnoticed but wields significant power on the board.

Stupid question- when I join the arena through the native app, it brings up the browser-based game. Is there a way to use the native app?

Can you figure out the 2 moves ?

Lol = laughing out loud

So, I have released the next installation of Tour The Openings, and this time we are researching the Falkbeer Countergambit!Learn a lot and have fun reading! Tour The Openings 2

Hello! Could someone share any analysis on the Caro-kann and/or main ideas and common variations? I’m thinking about learning this opening.

Yo friends I noticed I'm really bad against the French... Always losing one pawn or another ... So I studied a bit. Still assume I will not remember much of it. So challenge me if you want to play some friendly practice games in the French. I'm like 1360 Rapid probably overrated ... [ overrated meaning I'm pretty decent against certain openings but my actual middle game is mostly horrifying... ] blitz and bullet fine too but expect dirty flagging and shameful play by me in that case

does GMcanty have a video on this opening? If not could you please make one?
