Cool. It's a good channel. Silly sometimes, with some "characters", and then game analysis at the end.
I like seeing the kids play.
I was watching Jeopardy the other night and one of the players wanted to thank his friends at the Chess Coffee Youtube channel.
Grandmasters march to the beat of a different drummer and one thing is they can't be bought. I've seen them play when I was a member here years ago.

Saudi Arabia is "buying" sports, especially golf, and most people quietly take the money. 😠
Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.
"I will follow my principles and not compete in the World Fast Chess and Blitz Championship where in just 5 days I could have won more money than dozens of other tournaments combined." This is all very nasty but the sad part is no one seems to care. Bitter feelings but can't go back. "

Nope.
I'm currently waiting on two different IHUB opponents to make their first move. One with the White pieces, and one with the Black pieces. It seems difficult for them to choose which one of the 20 possible 1st moves they can make. All those possible moves... so confusing. LOL
yeah, no sh@t sherlock
That's telling BooBoo Bear off! He has run off the field of battle, afraid of the fire. A few more games, and you'll be ready to wallop him with a picnic basket in a game. Still hunting for the ascii code for a picnic basket.
Yeah, I messed up and had your pawn in a different position.
Should I assume you have resigned? If so first move of next game, followed by analysis of this game:
1. e4
Analysis of previous game...
Key: ?! = dubvious move, ? mistake, ?? Blunder, += slight advantage White, =+ slight advantage Black, = equal
1. Nf3 d5
2. d4 g6?! (c5)
3. Nc3 Nf6
Black is going for a Grunfeld defense. And who knows what White might be trying for.
4. e4 ... (better was g3, with the idea of B-g2, O-O, or Bg5
..... dxe4
5. Ne5 Bg7
6. g3 c6? += (better was O-O, with the idea of 7...c5)
7. Bc4? = (Look at all of the white square weaknesses around the King. Better was Bg2 +=)
.... O-O (Only move. If e6, then Black's white square Bishop whimpers)
8. Be3 (White's c4 Bishop is misplaced . Black has to untangle his queenside pieces)
... b5 (only move. Grab some Qside space while harassing the Bishop. Black can then untangle his Qside pieces with Bb7, e6, Qc8, Rd8, Nbd7. If left unharassed, White can play h3, Qd2, O-O-O, and then launch an attack on the Kingside. The upcoming pawn push dares White to Castle Q-side.
9. Bb3 a5
10. Na4?? (only move a3)
.... bxa4
11. White resigns? If so then the good news is you made it to move 11 again.
yeah, no sh@t sherlock. May I also take this time to remind you that the only reason I am here embarrassing myself is because of your inability to rise to the challenge.
The cobwebs in my brain are pretty thick and it would have been nice to watch a game or two before I jumped into the fire.
And get a sharpie and write the letters and numbers on the board,
Yeah, I messed up and had your pawn in a different position. Now I'm all f'd up again. I had it on 4 instead of 5...
I'm going after work tomorrow and buying a cheap board...
dammit.

As predicted BooBoo still hasn't shown up. He must be heavy into Checkers.
It will work on the virtual board.
Just click on the Black King, and then on the g8 square.
wow, that's some shifty shit. That's one I did not know in my limited chess time.
you're making my synapses fire again. I hope I can make that move on the virtual board, otherwise I'm going to be all f'd up.
BTW ... the O-O was to get out of the way of your rampaging around for picnic baskets. :D
O-O : King moves 2 squares to the left, and end up on g1. Rook is flipped to the other side of the King on f1. All squares between the King and Rook must be cleared, with no pieces in between. While moving 2 squares to the left the King can not cross a square which would place him in check.
O-O-O or Queenside castling. King move two squares to the right, and ends up on c1, and the Rook on d1. Same rules apply. King can not move across any squares that would place it in check.
On the Black side...
O-O King on g8, Rook lands on f8.
O-O-O King on c8, Rook lands on d8
Castling is another way of saying: Getting the hell out of Dodge (center of the board).
I apologize for not understanding what O-O means. Could you please elaborate?
Probability now P=0.001.
1. e4 ...??????????
Probability of him showing up: P=0.01. Straight from an actuarial table.
I avoid them like the plague. You can tell them because they all have pocket protectors for their pencils.
???? bishop f1 to c4
Already duly noted. With Black: O-O (castles) in response.
Bc4 doesn't deserve 4 ????s. Or even two (blunder). If not a mistake(?) then at least dubious (?!).
I was pretty sure my move was clean BWDIK?
I might have to work tomorrow so we might have to resolve the question marks later in the day.

I'm just a mere amateur looking for pic-a-nic baskets.

That is what chess is all about.
Where oh where is the BooBoo gang?
Don't make me dig out Kasparov.
Start digging.
oops, not for you all talk no action.
I'm just learning how to describe my moves. I don't need a real chess board at this point.
fucker mated me in 11 moves, how embarrassing is that?
It is not embarrassing. You just got beat by a better player. Chess is somewhat different. You play up and not down to your opponent.
I have the virtual board he sent me so I have no excuses unless I fuck up a move.

Here's one from your generation
So you lost to a more experienced player. You won't get better by playing a lesser player. I'm sure he will kick my ass but the challenge is playing him again and someday winning.
That is what chess is all about.

A place for people to meet, talk chess, post links of interest, and celebrate the greatest game known to humankind.
All are welcome, regardless of skill level.

“The game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very
valuable qualities of the mind are to be acquired and strengthened by
it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions; for life is a kind of Chess”
(Benjamin Franklin)
“Chess is the gymnasium of the mind”
(Blaise Pascal)
“Not all artists are Chess players, but all Chess players are artists”
(Marcel Duchamp)
“On the chessboard, lies and hypocrisy do not survive long”
(Emanuel Lasker)
To Infinity and Beyond:
There are 400 different possible Chess positions after one move each. There are 72,084 different possible positions after two moves each. There are over 9 million different possible positions after three moves each. There are over 288 billion different possible positions after four moves each. The number of distinct 40-move games is far greater than the number of electrons in the observable universe

note: in my posts, I usually refer to the opponent as he. In the off chance you are female and reading this, take no offense, "he" is usually the default for chess (unfortunately). BTW, one of the world's strongest players, male or female:

Some Links:
InstanstChess, a site I subscribe to, but anyone can play 25 games free (just clear cookies to play more if you run out of games). Good place to pick up a quick game
Chess.com, I used to have a subscription to this site. You can also play for free, but with limited features. This site is focused on turn-based correspondence chess, where you have several days to consider your move. This is good for those still learning the opening basics, as well as advanced players who wish to dabble in more exotic openings. A nice thing is the rules of turn-based chess allow you to reference databases, or anything else you wish (except computer chess engines, that's cheating!) for analysis during a game. If you are a paying member, you have access to a very large opening book that is easy to use, with stats on effectiveness of each move. Also has a live chess feature.
Other places to play: Yahoo (#1 for sheer player numbers, I believe) , RedHotPawn, FICS, GameKnot, to name a few. No matter what your skill level, there is competition to be found all over the Internet, with plenty of both free and subscription sites, so get playing somewhere now! Remember, you learn more from a loss than a win. (OK, I admit it though, I like to win, and don't like posting my losses!)
ChessGames.com, a **huge** database with a good interface for easy replay of the games, many annotated and also discussed in a "Kibitzer's Corner". All the famous games are here:
Endgame Database for all possible 6 piece endings. Instantly tells you if an endgame is win, lose, or draw:
