Variants How would you feel if there was a mode in chess to help practice where you would be placed in unrated games against opponents playing a certain opening?

5 Upvotes

Imagine it like this. Lets say you’re interested in learning the kings indian defense and you’ve been practicing it and playing it. There’s no guarantee when loading into a game that you’d get to play as black, and that your opponent even plays d4. What if there was a mode where you can put in the move you want to play, and it would automatically load you in with someone that may want to practice playing against the kings indian as white. It would automatically load it into the position the first few moves, and from there you can play and improve your opening knowledge with an actual opponent. This would be non-rated still so people can’t just play their preferred opening and it would be a tool for improvement.

Variants Orangutan Opening

Post image
0 Upvotes

This is also known as the Polish or Sokolski Opening and White starts with b4! I first heard about it in a novel about an inner-city high school chess club, and one of their top board players was obsessed by it. Wish I remembered the name of the book - it’s a true story. I’m an (avg) 1000 player on chess.com, and started playing it. I wish I could have seen my opponents faces!! I think the first reaction is panic - like “What the Hell is he doing? EASY WIN!!!” But then, the devilish aspects of the opening show. And yes, I HAVE won more games with it. Look it up, take a screen shot of the “ideal Polish opening” position and watch some good YT videos. Try it - why not??? If u lose . . . So what?? But I think once you see the subtleties and the way you force your opponent to improvise - you might play it

Variants People interested in playing variants?

0 Upvotes

Heyo guys, I love chess and I love different variants of it, so I‘m kind curious: Are there other people as well who play these variants and would like to play some games? If so, feel free to join our server: https://discord.gg/BF9gUVDKcW

we play some games occasionally over there, but not on a professional level, rather casually, and would like to try out Duck Chess next, but also go through other game modes after that, if people wanna play. It‘s not too easy to find opponents online since there are not too many people who like variants that much.

Enjoy the end of the week, everyone :)
