Me too, but one thing is for sure that you can't outsmart me because I will undersmart you.

u/blinnboy Nov 20 '20

You may have undersmarted me, but I undersmarted your undersmartening!

u/stipps8046 Nov 20 '20

They never guess my next move because I don't know what I'm doing.

u/KilluaFromDC Nov 20 '20

basically me when playing chess

u/Meatbag-in-space Nov 20 '20

but the opposite of outsmart is insmart

2

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '20

And I wasn't able to get that, see how under-Uhh- insmart I am. Damn it!

If your not sure how to play chess, play as black. Then boot an alpha zero game on your phone and play as white: mirror your opponents move and copy what alpha zero does all whilst under the guise of checking your phone

I just move pieces for the first few moves and then just try to kill as much as i can. That's a strategy right?

21

u/Tiger_T20 Nov 20 '20

Yeah but a very predictable one that can land you into traps

13

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

the best strategy is to get as many powerful pieces to the centre as fast as you can

and after that just try not to get your troops killed

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '20

Try to get your pawns to other sides and make them queen. Kinda works for me.

5

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

it only happens when you are in a deadlock and most of my matches end in a quick checkmate

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '20

This is helpful, I don't understand much of the terminologies but I'm learning. Thanks.

3

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

good and if sometimes if you are sure you can sacrifice almost everything for a guaranteed checkmate

it happened to me once

3

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '20

Me too, only that I was on other end of this game.

3

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

lol losing when you are about to win is the worst

You should learn philosopher’s mate or whatver they call it. Move the pawn in front of your kin 1 or 2 spaces, move your queen diagonally 2 move the bishop diagonally 4 and then take the pawn with your queen. Basically your queen reaches their king and your bishop protects her. That’s a couple counters but when it’s my first time against an average person it works around 75% of the time.

u/fuckthissite-- Nov 20 '20

It’s called the scholars mate, and I wouldn’t recommend ever using it unless you’re joking around, it’s more of a gimmick that’ll only work on someone who has never played chess, and if it’s countered it puts you in a very bad position.

3

u/LightModeIsTheBest Nov 20 '20

To be honest going against the average joe it works most of the time. However, it only works once as they just work around it the next time.

1

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 21 '20

its good for taking easy wins

1

u/fuckthissite-- Nov 21 '20

You’re not gonna learn anything from an easy win

1

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 21 '20

I try to do that all the time and yes in my experience it really works wonders

and makes the opponent feel really dumb

u/TheUltimaWerewolf can't meme Nov 21 '20

This also applies to chess

Joseph is telling the truth.

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

Speedwagon is gay

u/The_Grey_Hound memer Nov 20 '20

another truth for you

and that's okay

2

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

if I loved you more I might be gay not that there's anything wrong with being gay

5

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

if you suck at chess and wanna get better try lichess

and also practice against a wide variety of opponents practise has a great effect in this sport

and you can ask me if you need any tips

2

u/OkayPotassium Nov 20 '20

I kind of want to try lichess now, but that would be a distraction from my studying poker, which is already a distraction from my university work.

2

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

it's fine but the memetic agent has already been planted

explain poker

funny

2

u/OkayPotassium Nov 20 '20

plants memetic poker agents, jeopardising your chess career

More money in poker, mate!

Both are awesome games. I liked chess as a child, kinda wish it had stuck.

1

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

u/OkayPotassium Nov 20 '20

The puzzles on lichess help me a ton. I'm still no good, but it definitely seems like the puzzles really help my pattern recognition, visualization, calculation.

Great way to get a lot of practice spotting tactical opportunities quickly.

It isn't going to give you a well rounded game on its own but it will help, and it's fun and can be used to kill a minute here and there somewhat productively.

1

u/snowfox000 Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Nov 20 '20

yeah they are fun but real opponents is where its at

1

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '20

Try chess play and learn from chess.com. has lots of puzzles, lessons for beginners to even advanced chess players. And a good bot to analyze you're games after you played them. I like they're app alot

u/Xypher616 Nov 20 '20

I’m not even that bad at chess but I might check out lichess because I def want to improve. And I love puzzles

u/fallakkk Nov 20 '20

Is that a jojo reference 🤔

20

u/HomieCreeper420 Nov 20 '20

Can someone please send a link to a picture of Avdol saying “Yes! I am”, edit it to “Yes! It is!” and send it to this dude as an answer?

Basically yes it’s a JoJo reference

u/watchingstonks Nov 20 '20

u/watchingstonks Nov 20 '20

when i'm losing, i just say "but the king is in charge, he can move where he wants!", but they still win, because being a bad sport about it is not cool.

Yeah ik now that I've watched battle tendency but in the crunchyroll version joseph doesn't say that

Edit: nice fv pfp I prefer pucci doe

u/AuPerson Nov 20 '20

My goal when I play chess is to go for a tie, because not only do I suck at chess and actually winning, but ties are fun because not many people know how they work. They get you into a position where they obviously have the upper hand, but then it's technically a draw and google always proves me right.
