for me the coolest thing about playing online is being matched with people more or less my ranking, what makes the game more challenging in real life is a bit harder for me to find people who play chess often and are good at it.
ELO/MMR matchmaking is one of the coolest features in any online game. If both sides are honest, then a competitive game is obtained that is interesting to both sides. It's funny that even here there are fans of cheating - they deliberately drain the rating in order to dominate weak players later. And many sites are banned for this (for example, Lichess, as far as I know).

And what games do you think people have time for? Or do you propose not to play anything at all, but only to work? It's kind of weird to hear that chess is a dying game, because if I'm on the internet chatting with a person from another country/culture and we suddenly decide to have some fun, then chess is more likely to be a common place where we can do it than any other computer game.
Most of kids these days are more interested in playing video games. They have all the focus of Youtube videos and they hardly have any time to play board games. Although many people are very loud is promoting board games but how many of us actually have time to get rid of screens? Time have changed a lot. well, everyone has the same 24 hours in a day limiting screen time for children is a mission for their parents have you heard that on silicon valley most of the children of these parents that work at social media and tech company can't use screens at all or have very limited access to it? This seems very good to me, but I think they do it as a protection measure for children and do not access pages that are potentially very dangerous for them, but it is good that children, parents encourage them to platforms or apps that are quite good As in the case of Duolingo, which teaches languages, or maybe you see a page that can teach them chess moves or that they play chess, I know that now everything in children's culture is digital because even the very tasks that they are sent in schools have to do with it, therefore children are now very expert looking for anything on the internet, so if these sites are encouraged with the respective guidance and supervision, everything can go well.

amazing! I'm still playing a lot, almost everyday, but want to get back to study more, I should improve my midgame and endgame starting to get openings better lately I'm practicing most of the times with the same opening and same defense, as advised by a friend who's really into chess (ranked about 2000 on lichess)
Yes Well, I'm very happy that you're improving your game, the truth is that this sport is very good, besides, it requires a lot of time to improve, I see it as analogous to swimming because if you want to lose time you have to train for many hours and chess you have to train a lot to improve, unless you are a genius and you understand everything quickly and see moves in a short time, which, that skill is taken based on more training, I do not know if you have seen a series called "Queen's Gambit"? It is an excellent series, it would be very good if you saw it so you get more motivated, they show it on netflix, I really recommend it.
Hmm....thanks for that info and the recommendation @LUCKMCFLY I'll check it out on Netflix. @Lucasgabd @LUCKMCFLY Just like in the most varied sports, for you to improve and gain skills and experience, you need to practice, practice and practice again!! I believe this is the best way for a player to improve in this sport.

I don't think it's only that. Phones can be an amazing tool, of course, like when you mention duolingo but they can be addicting and destructive too there are some interesting articles and news on that, check it here: Silicon Valley parents banning tech for their kids

Hmm... interesting! Thanks for your recommendation and shared with us. Talking about learning, yes, sure, because one thing complements the other! It is interesting to study, learn new strategies, see tutorials and strategies and put all this into practice.

It is interesting to study, learn new strategies, see tutorials and strategies and put all this into practice. The Queen's Gambit opening is considered one of the strongest opening for white due to its aggressiveness. There are lots of traps in that position where you can win a piece or even sacrifice a piece to checkmate the King in a specific move order, but I will highly recommend for you to master it! Another fun fact, that is also the reason on why the series on Netflix is named after such opening. It has been used by chess GMs over and over again to the point that they already know or encountered the same position repeatedly.

So the Champions Chess Tour just finished and a big congratulations for Ding Liren for winning the match against Pragg! I really thought that Pragg would win given that he has been dominating the tournament so far but Ding managed to beat him in a best of 3 series.
If Ding were to participate and win in the candidates, I do think that Magnus Carlsen would participate in the next WCC, since he had mentioned in the past that he would most likely not participate until he is against Alireza.

wow, interesting, I confess I didn't know that! thanks @qwertyup23 I confess that with each passing day I am more interested in chess, although I am a beginner, I need to learn several things, tactics and moves! When I see some chess pros playing I feel useless lol, I'm extremely impressed with what some people can do during a chess game

This is very beautiful series and I liked it so much - particularly how the game changes the life of little Hermon. Is it based on true events?

But the heroine showed a strong character in the series but I am unable to understand the end. Why she missed he flight after winning in Russia. Is there a new series coming up?

about the end of your message, you refer to users who lose on purpose only to be able to beat lower rank users? a bit lame if you ask my opinion but... who knows dopamine kicks are quite strong with online chess, specially for fast games.
Happens in just about every competitive game I've come across. Serious accounts to aim for high rank and then secondary accounts to 'warm up' where its often experienced players beating those new to the game or still learning etc. I cant do the fast games, some people are ace at bullet chess just not something I've ever been good at. Thats very popular for streaming I think. I just given a diamond account on Chess.com to try out, presumably because I dont play alot they trying to get me back into it :p The timing for this world championship was lucky for Ian despite the loss, I dont think they'd allow it to proceed with the current sanctions etc.

Just curious to know - is the chess very popular in Russia - even today? I was watching a TV series and it showed there was a time people were crazy for chess in Russia. Is it still true? are People into chess in Russia or not?

Just curious to know - is the chess very popular in Russia - even today? I was watching a TV series and it showed there was a time people were crazy for chess in Russia. Is it still true? are People into chess in Russia or not? I think it's still quite big but we would need someone from Russia to confirm. if my memory is correct the series is based on an homonymous novel, but not a true story, a fictional one still amazing ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I should watch it again one day now that I know a bit more about chess I used to play chess - by the moves which they mentioned in the queen gambit series - I didn't not know that. But the heroine showed a strong character in the series but I am unable to understand the end. Why she missed he flight after winning in Russia. Is there a new series coming up? not sure if there's a sequence coming... I think there's no big deal on missing the flight for a new chess game haha just her style, she could get another plane of reschedule later damn, we just gave a huge spoiler
about the end of your message, you refer to users who lose on purpose only to be able to beat lower rank users? a bit lame if you ask my opinion but... who knows dopamine kicks are quite strong with online chess, specially for fast games.
Happens in just about every competitive game I've come across. Serious accounts to aim for high rank and then secondary accounts to 'warm up' where its often experienced players beating those new to the game or still learning etc. I cant do the fast games, some people are ace at bullet chess just not something I've ever been good at. Thats very popular for streaming I think. I just given a diamond account on Chess.com to try out, presumably because I dont play alot they trying to get me back into it :p The timing for this world championship was lucky for Ian despite the loss, I dont think they'd allow it to proceed with the current sanctions etc. yes, when I started I didn't like 5 minutes games, they were too fast for me, now 10 minute ones seems slow but I suppose it varies from person to person I've been observing how too much online chess affects my mood and behavior, crazy stuff I took a day off from playing 2 days ago, and yesterday only one hard victory was enough to flood my brain with dopamine and make me so happy, though if I loose a lot I become grumpy hahahah will probably take more breaks from now on and try to limit my chess time to no more than 3 games a day (1 blits and 2 rapid or 2 blitz and 1 rapid) chess is cool but I'm not aiming to be a grand master or something

Well then - you might not be as much interested in chess as Hurmon of Queen Gambit. Chess really opens up mind and makes your mind and nerves strong. If you are good in chess - just take it to the next lever. Its real fun

This seems very good to me, but I think they do it as a protection measure for children and do not access pages that are potentially very dangerous for them, but it is good that children, parents encourage them to platforms or apps that are quite good As in the case of Duolingo, which teaches languages, or maybe you see a page that can teach them chess moves or that they play chess, I know that now everything in children's culture is digital because even the very tasks that they are sent in schools have to do with it, therefore children are now very expert looking for anything on the internet, so if these sites are encouraged with the respective guidance and supervision, everything can go well. I don't think it's only that. Phones can be an amazing tool, of course, like when you mention duolingo but they can be addicting and destructive too there are some interesting articles and news on that, check it here: Silicon Valley parents banning tech for their kids
amazing! I'm still playing a lot, almost everyday, but want to get back to study more, I should improve my midgame and endgame starting to get openings better lately I'm practicing most of the times with the same opening and same defense, as advised by a friend who's really into chess (ranked about 2000 on lichess)
Yes Well, I'm very happy that you're improving your game, the truth is that this sport is very good, besides, it requires a lot of time to improve, I see it as analogous to swimming because if you want to lose time you have to train for many hours and chess you have to train a lot to improve, unless you are a genius and you understand everything quickly and see moves in a short time, which, that skill is taken based on more training, I do not know if you have seen a series called "Queen's Gambit"? It is an excellent series, it would be very good if you saw it so you get more motivated, they show it on netflix, I really recommend it.
Hmm....thanks for that info and the recommendation @LUCKMCFLY I'll check it out on Netflix. @Lucasgabd @LUCKMCFLY Just like in the most varied sports, for you to improve and gain skills and experience, you need to practice, practice and practice again!! I believe this is the best way for a player to improve in this sport. another vote for the seris "Queen's Gambit" here, it's a great series, and also my favorite opening when playing whites. I agree that practice helps to improve, but studying and learning more strategies and techniques too! I am glad that you liked the series, the truth is that she shows a special talent there, but the series also shows us that those who study the most also have the possibility of being very successful, I also like how they show the Russians, really always I have known that the Russians are very good at chess as well as programming, so what I did not know is that a large part of their success is that they work as a team and that is why they are so good, before I used to think that they were very lonely and that they were very individualistic, but in the series they show that the Americans at that time were the most individual. The fact of seeing 4 or 5 moves is already enough, since I was 5 years old I played a lot of chess, then I stopped and when I was that age I had the ability to see many moves but I got very tired, so what I developed the most was concentration, obviously from then on for me math and everything that had to do with the study was too simple for me, in fact it still is, but what I admire most is that everyone reads the books, the openings and is aware of the updates, that's what makes them better chess players.

well, there are two things to comment about that miss Herman didn't play online, she played and studied it in person, I think it makes a really big difference for the brain. second one is that the lady had severe drug dependence, which is not my case I think it's good to have some balance between mental activities and physical activities but you're right, I don't want to be a grand master and probably won't compete in tournaments ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) just like to play for fun and to improve myself The other part of Queen gambit is how a poor girl strives and got her first chess board. Her first chess books - her new clothes and shoes. There is struggle in the everything. Only the focused one wins.
