Streamers Team [ChessNetwork] Battle | Tournament #33

This is the 7th Streamers Battle, and it was held on lichess.org on September 14, 2020. 10 teams competed in this 2-hour event of 3|0 blitz. Team ChessNetwork was the team I competed for, naturally, along with 539 teammates. Members of the same team do not get paired against each other. The sum of the top 20 performers' scores equals the final team total for this event. In my mind if you compete for a team, you are a help to a team. Even if you are outside of the top 20 for team ChessNetwork, you are pushing other members to score higher. Moreover, defeating or even losing a hard fought battle to other competitors helps keep the scores of other teams less. Many thanks to all competitors of the Streamers Battle, September 2020, especially those who played for team ChessNetwork. :)

Hello Jerry, could you tell me what microphone you use and what distance from your mouth it is? your sound it's just perfect . keep up the good work, you're the best man:)

[@connorheather6550]

Can Anyone tell me why Qf6 wasn’t considered? 1:33:41

[@Pawn-Sac]

I have nothing concrete for you. I suspect its because the queen looks far more active on the b-file than on f6.

[@Hsel-lc1wt]

He wants to control the open b file and probably simplify things a little bit? I think also f6 is very passive and you'd be on the back foot for a while, so that also plays into it a bit

[@andydecoy1138]

I dunno, but I spotted a pawn fork (f3) idea when the white knight moved away. Gotta move the f rook back first though. So queen takes seems strong.

[@bazilanwar1254]

He's back!

[@edmis90]

Jerry fighting against IM's. Shouldn't he be good enough to get the *IM* title? Or *SM* title if prefer USCF?

[@yorickstrangefield2976]

Online, playing blitz/bullet, on Lichess, his rating is very high. But in real life, OTB, playing slow chess, he is only NM strength.

[@chantzcoleman7482]

@@yorickstrangefield2976 I wouldn't let his lack of an IM title fool you in his playing strength Many GMs are alot weaker than him

[@GooTube3110]

Yorick Strangefield how do you know his OTB strength if he does not play?

[@pinksocks8697]

@@yorickstrangefield2976 The thing is, the IM title is awarded by the FIDE and Jerry's title was awarded by the USCF. The NM title is given by national federation, it's a different rating system, which can be confusing. Also, you need a rating of 2200 to become a NM but you could theoretically be stronger than a 2500 and not willing to continue otb chess for whatever reason. Just like some IM are crushing most GM they encounter (Opper for exemple) some NM are far stronger than a lot of IM.

[@yorickstrangefield2976]

[@fredpapa4928]

Opper’s game reminds me of Thomas “the hitman” Hearns.

[@edmis90]

Can someone explain the format/rules of this tournament? Is it like, any number of players can participate in each team then they all battle randomly against each other and each win is a point? Or just the top x players of each teams pool of players participate? Or is there a set number of games for each player?

[@BBraich05]

he explains it in the description

[@edmis90]

@@BBraich05 Thanks, I didn't notice! This tournament system seems to be abusable, no? If someone joined a team and just forfeit every game they would give lots of free points to other teams. All you would need is just 1 free point to any of the other teams top 20 performers and it's already unfair.

50:58 - It's black's move, take white castle to check.... wouldn't the progression that follows win the white knight by the black queen?

[@mjohnson2807]

White knight takes the castle first

[@oreo8118]

The Knight is protecting the rook on C1, so black wouldn't come out ahead after that.

[@RidingBones]

Jerry, what are you missing to become a GM?

[@MoonBurn13]

@M Called that!

[@tongpoo8985]

Becoming a GM requires a lot of time and effort. I think he is more interested in spending his time and effort on making educational/entertaining content. Also possible that grinding up to GM might take some of the fun out of chess

[@globalchessschool777]

He is gm

[@Siacourage]

1:21:48 Opponent saw your rating and saw the future. Thought he'd spare you both the time and hussle. Bad move. Always play on even if you're rated 2000 against a 2800+ Sure, you'll lose but at least you'll learn something.
