cloud walker<p>Hi there 👋</p><p>Mind gamer checking if Mastodon might be a network for chess players. Giving some inspiration to have fun and improve?</p><p>I'm amateur chess player <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Elo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Elo</span></a> 1100</p><p>Languages: 🏴 🇪🇸 🇧🇷 🇮🇹 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 <br /><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>introduction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>chess</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ajedrez" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ajedrez</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xadrez" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>xadrez</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/scacchi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scacchi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/schach" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>schach</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/echecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>echecs</span></a></p>
cloud walker<p>Does <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/following" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>following</span></a> hashtags not work anymore? Created a nice <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hashtag" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hashtag</span></a> list days ago but the hashtagged posts don't appear in my timeline 😥</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FediHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FediHelp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FediAsk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FediAsk</span></a> 🙏</p>
BestMacFly<p>I find it really annoying when people request takebacks during rated blitz games on Lichess or Chess.com. I always decline — what's the point of rated blitz if you undo moves?<br>Funny thing is: I always feel bad for saying no, even though I think takebacks in blitz make no sense.<br>Curious how others feel about this.<br>Example position in the image — guess what Black wanted to take back 😉 <br><a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chess</span></a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/blitz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blitz</span></a></p>
Chess Olympus<p>Moses Malone, born March 23, 1955, looks so smooth in this 1979 photo that I almost didn't notice he has two dark-square bishops. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chess</span></a></p>
cloud walker<p>Finally created my just for fun <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>chess</span></a> account. At <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lichess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lichess</span></a>. I like its easy to use surface in the app and at the webpage and its large user base. And it's profit free.</p><p>Hoping lichess will make better accessible <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Chess960" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Chess960</span></a> and so create more <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FreestyleChess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FreestyleChess</span></a> users. And hoping for full functionality in the app (eg messaging, making friends, user profile). </p><p>Still lichess is the best chess play service I could find 👍</p><p>(written by an amateur player rapid chess elo 1300)</p>
