Sup /sci/.

I'm sure a lot of you guys are above average to very skilled at chess, and seeing that chess is the 3rd nerdiest game ever (right after MtG and Warhammer) why don't we have a delicious chess thread?

how do I get good at chess?

Play 100 games
Lose as many as possible.

Also, read some chess theory - openings, moves, endgames etc.

Moves, endgames, openings - in that order.

Hey fag fuckers, is Chessmaster a good engine for analysing games? Or should I export my games and load them into Fritz?

>> No.4598719

How does one 'analyse' a chess game?

Examine, (ex [game] in fics), use engines.

I've rarely played in my life, but I get the basic gist. Someone want to give me some pointers?

Rybka is best engine.

>> No.4598728

>>4598724
For a beginner looking for game analysis, is there really much of a difference between Rybka or Fritz?

So far the record on sci tonight is 1-0. Good game to the last guy I played.

Anyone up for a game?

Come watch!
Having a HELL of a rematch, we're both playing relatively fast.

I'm up 1-0 on him... but it's fucking brutal.

Nah, you're annihilating him (assuming you are black).

He left or something. so.. 3-0 (I won't count it)
Anyone care to play? I'm starting to get the hang of this chess business.

>> No.4598826

>>4598814
Yeah, I think he got a little tunnel vision on my queen and tried to take it rather than simply blocking it.

Oh well, we were both playing really fast so mistakes happen.
