I think I bought it on Amazon few years ago it was something like $69 really cheap. And I used it for endless blitz matches at the chess club.

Thank you.

Tell me more how you expect the opening books to be, so I can tell to GM Mueller, and also another author, and they could begin to work on them.

@@Mr.Checkmate-cy4lw Hello, I think that the authors could have 2 QR codes The first would be in the format of a video and the 2nd would be written analysis. Another idea would be for the authors to ask questions and the QR code could give a verbal solutions

@@sigifredofranco1624 Thank you for sharing your ideas, I think the QR codes can really open a new way to learn chess, and the examples you provided are very interesting.

@@Mr.Checkmate-cy4lw I have many ideas. How can i send you a private message

@@sigifredofranco1624 I looked all around in KZbin, but it seems there is no way to send private messages. Do you have X (twitter?)

I really like the idea of QR codes in chess book. I don't know if you tried them.

thank you!

Thank you!

Look the rating is a misleading concept. Especially at amateur level, we are not producing games without blunders like top professionals. Instead like I try to convey in the video, try to develop your pieces in the opening, try to have your pieces defend each other, And then ask yourself some questions, like what was the reason for your opponent's last move, did it attack something? And you will see you'll beat this bot in no time. Also ask yourself when you want to play a move, what your opponent will play next.

@@Mr.Checkmate-cy4lw thank you for this great answer. I agree and I have experience winning 2000 elo dudes and losing to dudes with 500. My rapid and blitz have a 800 elo difference too. Maybe it’s time for me to give up on chasing the elo. It’s kinda annoying to keep losing and winning without progression in elo but I’ll try to do what you said. Thank you so much !

@@Mr.Checkmate-cy4lwcan I play a 15 or 10 mins game with you so to learn some from you ? Thank you so much

@@vlogivloginpoorfrench9491 what is your handle? Do you have chess-com or Lichess?

Ops sorry I forgot to schedule it, I'll do it right now, thanks for all the feedback.

I was using another computer. However with the previous one, I think I understood what was the problem, it was using the mic of the computer, and that computer has fans to cool the GPU. Strangely they say the mic has a AI, excluding background sound, well it doesn't LOL So now I'm using the mic of the external camera and there shouldn't be background noise. But the change will be seen in the book reviews in at least 15 days, since I recorded already many reviews with the old system. Thanks for the feedback.

@@Mr.Checkmate-cy4lw sounds good man and no worries !

Yes, I received the money today. They took their time, because it seems in the upper echelon of players the engine was set too strong, and literally smashed them like children. They said they are accepting new players rated FIDE for continuing the experiment. By the way, I didn't really need the money, I was interested in being part of this experiment.

where? LOL

​@Mr.Checkmate-cy4lw don't defend him, bro. He might be good at chess but he went fucking crazy.

​@@OrtegaSauceIn some way he did, but he's right

@@OrtegaSaucehe woke up. Bobby is a fucking boyo!

​@OrtegaSauce sure, He is right, chess is boring.

It is really pleasant to play with heavy wooden pieces. It gives a different experience, better, making the game more enjoyable.

They are 2 different forms of chess. Shogi should be the more complicated of the two, because it has the possibility to re-use a piece you of the opponent one took during the game and add it to one's own army. At the moment there are more Shogi players in Europe than Xiangqi.

Google World XiangQi Federation there are all the names of the players on that site.

it seems there was a big cheating controversy about an anonymous GM which beat Naroditsky in a 70 blitz games match using this absurd opening.

Chinese chess, also known as Xiangqi. Chess players can learn it in few minutes. Much more tactical and violent than chess.

I believe I bought the pieces from Chess Bazaar, the board was a lucky find at a tournament.

Thank you.

I bought it few years ago from Chess Bazaar. I think they just released an improved version. At that time the book didn't exist, but it was a pleasure to see the games on that chess set!

Thank you for the feedback. I don't know what rating they set the engine. Likely around 1800-1900. As you can see it's kind of difficult to understand the rating watching a game. Sometimes I noticed also titled players make mistakes like club players, making the rating impossible to determine, if we don't know the name of the players.

Thank you!

Italiano 100% 🙂

elephantchess.io is the greatest chinese chess site at the moment!

@@Mr.Checkmate-cy4lw That site looks very nice. But I was actually asking if there is any place I can download or play this 1987 (I’m guessing) DOS game?

@@Fuzzball I think it was on a telegram channel: Xiangqi Italia or a similar name of the group

Thank you for clarifying, Love your website, it's really beautiful.

Thank you for letting me know. I love the graphic of your website, amazing! And of course I love the entire idea.

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback. I changed the pieces. It's interesting to see how the light changes them during the day. Thank you.

thank you!
