Basically just move your pieces so that they are covered by other pieces and threaten your opponent's stuff

This is why backgammon is a superior game. You can play for fun rather than for pride.

I always play d4, queens gambit is my favorite

Great opening user, beat that pajeet down

That's a pretty popular opening known as the Queen's Gambit.

Classic mistake kek.

can you draw a chess game if you simply copy the opponents moves?

Someone will check and gain tempo

No. Eventually white will make a move that black can't copy, by taking a piece or giving check.

Here's an analysis from the wikipedia article about the opening seen here

ah didn't think about that

so the black side in the current game dun goofed?

chess is such an autistic game. spending hundreds if not thousands of hours memorizing each and every move. holy shit, it's not even about intelligence.

Chess is Go for brainlets

It's all about strategy, spacial thinking and thinking ahead, which requires intelligence. There aren't many moves that need to be remembered, you could learn chess in about 10 minutes really.

Maybe. But inaccurate moves in the opening usually don't matter very much.

This chess engine says c5 is only slightly worse than the best move, e6 (the "Queen's Gambit Declined" variation)

Wrong. Not true. It's all about memorizing the moves. The person who spent the most time memorizing moves wins.

why is that? how many moves are there?

lichess.org/Q8IfzMD5

you should apply for neetbux for severe autism

>not using objectively superior 1.f3-2.kf2 Hammershlaug opening
why even play chess?

Dude there are more moves in chess than atoms in the universe.
The opening itself is like 1.0737418e+24 possibilities. You can't memorize shit beyond a few hundred standard things.

and there are more times i fucked your mom than there are chess moves bud

if uck your mama she breastfeeds me loser

Do the Slavic Defense

You gotta start memorizing end game tables if you want to be above 1700 tho

I usually do c5 it says old benoni from chess dotcom
If white is not carefull and tries to hold on to the pawn if he captures it, he is going to fall for a trap
The engine says to advance the pawn to d5

That user is obviously an idiot but he's right in a sort of way. Some people say that great chess players are "thinking 20 turns ahead" which sounds mind-blowing but it's more like they're just really good at identifying general positions on the board that are good to be in control of

And like said, you do need a comprehensive knowledge of endgame play to make the jump from "pretty good at chess" to "competitive chess player" which is most people can't get past because studying and practicing that is boring as fuck. Most chess bots are notoriously bad at endgame chess too, it's basically its own game.

Same, people like us are just born retarded man

I always wanted to be a chess grandmaster

d4 is the best opening the sole reason being your opponent can't play the Sicilian defense
