Is there's a more captivating player than Tal?
I doubt there is, not the strongest there's been, but he's imo top 2 most revered— for lack of a better word

Let's go, I think I could beat a 1400 15 times straight...or more
Yes I’m rated 1400, but no 2000 elo can win 10 straight games against me.
You tried @iamsegebari 👍😂

For seasoned gym bros:
Is it advisable for newbies to get on protein powders?
I lose appetite quite easily so I need a quick way to get those grams of protein

A new chapter, hopefully. ❤️
A friend started a GoFundMe to help me move from Nigeria to the US, to play chess at a higher level and build a career in cyber security.
Goal: $6,000. Every donation or repost helps. 🙏
Do chess players experience this level of arrogance as they improve— where they think they've outgrown the channels they used to watch when they were much lower rated.
Personally I used to watch Igor Smirnov and Chess Vibes when I was sub 1k, but having impproved so much I think I've outgrown their content.
Arrogant, I know but that's just what it is.
To see strong female player for here na by connection
European Champion Alexey Sarana got married on 4 October 2026. Serbia's No. 1 announced the news in a joint Instagram post with his wife, Elena Orshonova, who wrote: "Somehow, in this big world, I found my home in you. 04.10.2026". The photos show the couple at a civil ceremony - Sarana in a tuxedo with the ring box, his wife in a white gown with a bouquet - followed by pictures around the city.
Elena is a chess player - not professional but quite strong with a rating of around 2000 FIDE. Quite strong in blitz! Speaking with ChessBase India Alexey shares, "My wife studied marketing and now she mostly helps me in everything. Partly like my manager. "

You clearly don't get the angle we're coming from, but you can at least tri.
Cos, trig jokes are worth the hyp.
Just won a game with the French defense, again I'm reminded why its dogshit.
Apparently Bxc5 makes the eval go from +0.6 to +1.4
Any alternative ideas for meeting 1.e4 that doesnt involve e5 or c5??

I think the only true way to be self-confidence is to be competent. It could be at anything, but better if it's at something valuable— skill, sport, business etc.
Another path is to be physically appealing, but that's largely genetic.
Competence really is the only way EVERYONE can build self-confidence
