bro i thought i was watching technoblade withthat voice

The monotone voice really make it seem that!

Days of prep? You guys prep?

@@aboredperson4202 I mean, its like studying physics for the exam to be chemistry sometimes

@@aboredperson4202 when competing in tournaments you kinda have to prep

@@crimson8076I don’t think 700s prep for tournaments. Maybe they’ll prepare on how to marinate the pieces before they eat them.

This doesn't work. After black goes Rh8, then Ne6. Then, its just a queen trade after Rxh6 and Nxd8. You don't win material that way either; if you try Kxd8, then Bxh6. The only way to avoid losing the black queen is to move it to either b6 or a5, and then the knight has moved, so white's queen to e3 or d2. The queen wasn't lost.

​@@original_numbskull9307yes it does, but it is just a pawn. After Ne6, black plays Qb6, attacking b2. If white moves the queen, which they will, black takes on b2. However, black move the d7 knight beforehand to attack the knight and prevent the fork on c7. Even though black gains a pawn, white is still up material and has much more piece activity, so they are winning by a lot.

After that point maybe they just start using more normal opening sequences.

As someone who used to be there, this is not the reality at all. The reason it feels this way is when you hang 4 pieces on the first 12 moves. Force a 700 to win smooth from start to finish to finish and they will make some blunder in the next 20 moves. They just will they do every time it’s insane.

@@nafaidni the higher up in the rating, the less likely it is that you encounter people who have the potential to move further up from where you currently are.

That's what I was thinking lol. Bro spent like a minute and a half thinking and missed the queen trap

The queen trap he thought the opponent would do wasn't even possible

Believe it or not that actually doesn't work. The queen is trapped yes, but white immediately strikes back with knight to e6 attacking black's queen and also opening up the queen's escape. So if black doesnt take the queen and moves his queen to a safe spot, white retreats. If you take the queen, white takes yours back with the knight with a discovered attack on your rook so you cant just take the knight with your king and be up material. But yeah i doubt white would see all that tho lol

Rook h8 would only result in a lost exchange for black. Knight e6 in response to rook h8 will pick up your queen, followed by king takes, would leave your rook hanging to the bishop on c1. Nice idea but white would have taken a queen and rook in exchange for their queen and knight. Losing exchange for black, not to mention he is too cramped, and the king is extremely exposed to whites minor pieces.

if you're below 1000, I guess that "trap" would work. But opponent has counterplay.

Or just trapping the queen with rook h8

So what you're saying is I'm better than stockfish

Cause this guy ain't dumb, he's just real. He doesn't live and breath chess, so of course he isn't a master. It's fun, cause it's relatable

@@NervylHraje hmm. Perhaps I'm the stupid one (Pretentiously using big words to describe the wrong perception)

I’m not so sure about that. The queen is temporarily trapped. But any move he makes to attack it will also free it. He needs another piece over there before white can move the knight on f4. Which he can’t get, because the opponent will make that move immediately. I don’t have an engine to analyze this with. But I actually think he made the best move in the position.
