Samarth Rao Takes Lead in Tata Steel Chess Tournament

Former champion emerges as sole frontrunner after decisive sixth round Tight competition continues as event showcases Jamshedpur’s sporting legacy. JAMSHEDPUR – The fourth day of Tata Steel’s 4th All-India FIDE Rating Chess Tournament 2024 saw significant shifts in the leaderboard, with former champion Samarth J Rao of Karnataka emerging as the sole leader. Miss Parul Singh, Sub-divisional…

The Game:

With a resignation on move 53, the game has ended.

With an accuracy of 86% relative to computer analysis, this is an extremely solid playing level. (The computer managed 93%, which I naively estimate puts our collective rating somewhere around 2000.) As I suspect we had no candidate masters or actual master players, this is a marked improvement over the individual players, who probably cap out at around 1500, with most lower than that.

The most important move was probably 20. a4. Before then, the game may have been a draw or a victory for white, but after that, it became a draw or a victory for black because of how it weakened the queenside. (The computer, as seen here, suggests h3 as the alternative, which I guess is reasonable.)

Incidentally, the correct response to 22... c4+ was not 23. d4, which allows the c pawn to come to sit on b2, where it annoyed us for a long period of the middle and late game, but to offer a trade of queens with Qf2.

This actually was a pretty common thread, where the weak moves would be made in very positional situations, and would be followed by an unwillingness to offer trades. This is actually pretty interesting, because some of the best play from the collective was during tactical positions (Aside from move 24 where we exchanged a rook for a bishop instead of recognizing that the b2 pawn promoting was not actually a threat yet and capturing the f8 rook instead), but the collective's votes also tried to get us into much more cautious and strategic positions, occasionally to our detriment.

This implies that a more tactical opening is actually desirable, perhaps the scotch game or a king's indian attack, rather than the weird hybrid italian-scotch opening we ended up with. However, that might be too risky, as a single mistake in a tactical situation could be devastating.

Overall, the period from move 20-24 was the most damaging to our game, but the overall decline was pretty slow. The position wasn't basically-unwinnable until move 37. d4, which would eventually break our kingside pawn structure.

At the time of resignation, there was a forced checkmate. With fairly accurate play, we'd have been checkmated on the 8th rank by two queens promoted from the h and g pawns. It might have looked something like this.

Thus it goes. And remember, you can send questions to the ask box if you'd like! Also, Anarchist Chess will probably return for a second game (though probably not this month.)

[obey-me-headquarters]

Thank you so much for replying to my silly thoughts!! Beware, this will be so long...:(🤡

Satan is my favourite so I'm definitely biased because I strongly sympathize with him, but yeah, his writing is pretty much a failure, especially after Solmare decided to revise the earlier lessons and eradicate certain character traits. You can still see it in his dialogues (home screen+interactions+unedited Devilgrams) - he's extremely snarky, playful and something is deeply wrong with him because he seems lonely (he says "You're late. I was about to go out looking for you." when returning to the home screen and "How bold of you. Are you sure you want to be stuck with me?" is his reaction to being gifted the limited item [handcuffs] on Valentine's Day, for example). He secretly gets a kick out of people being angry and is implicitly interested in having Simeon, who is a high-ranking angel, indulge in his sin ("Wouldn't you be curious to see what Simeon's like when he's angry?"). Plus, I think he's also deeply ashamed of his "circumstances" ("Do you ever sometimes wonder if Mammon is the most decent of all of us?") and thus very much eager to prove himself at every given chance (the incident with being transformed into a Little D, admitting that he's never beaten Diavolo at chess [and yet still trying] and he confesses that he think that he hasn't found a talent or passion so far [Devilgram: Be You] . Nowadays, he's just a cat-loving bookworm whose said to be smart but...never actually utilises it :( Everything is about cats and he's being treated like comic relief and cats are just his punchline.

I think the Nightbringer writing is pretty well-done, too, especially because they know what kind of success they'll reap (the original storyline was pretty obviously supposed to be done after lesson 20 with maybe individual routes beginning, but the game became too big too fast imo). I just hope that Nightbringer will introduce Lilith's alternative storyline to us, because logically, she should be alive in the human world since she "lived a fulfilling life as a human" after Diavolo saved her because Lucifer pledged his eternal loyalty to him. That's all I want tbh!! 🥹 I'm just so bitter that they're discontinuing support for the original game (meaning that there won't be any new lessons coming out and that the anticipated adjustments of difficulty in later lessons would be cancelled) but the pay2win aspect of gacha games will still be a vital mechanic, somehow??? They're not stopping VIP memberships or implementing some kind of progress transfer, but expect players to put up with the same micromanagement again...just in a game that is supposed to be "a continuation" but so far mirrors the first game too much to be truly innovative. I'm a 100% free to play player, I don't care about predatory gambling mechanics in the end because I'm not responsive to them in any way (I have other problems 💀🪦), but I know that many people just get sucked into these things without a way out. They're whale players and that's how these companies make money (and honestly... I fear that Solmare is slowly morphing into EA Sports or something 🤡). Plus, (this is just anecdotal and the devs aren't personally preying on people like that) the people most at risk of running into a »non-gambling« gambling addiction are cluster b disordered peolple who are already isolated... the comorbidity rates are abnormally high in those cases (I recommend Parmar's 2018 study [Indian Journal of Psychological medicine], they look at all personality disorders across the board and break them down by type of addiction, then rank them by rates of risk)

I don't blame them either and indulgence in food it's less of a red flag than depicting uncontrollable, chronic and incurable alcoholism but sigh you put it into words! Beel lacks secondary characteristics and there's no clear way of defining him. Most of the time, he doesn't even converse all that much because he's pretty quiet among the entire cast. And I agree, I loved Beel's character arc and just how devoted he is to his family. He's blooming with love and care for his brothers 🥺 and I think that's so sweet, plus the insight given when Solmare explored just how guilt-ridden he is was beautiful (and so painful rip). His vices seem to hold a death grip on him and that's just never given another thought.

If I could change a thing, I would have intentionally given each of the brothers a redeeming quality from the get-go and having it clash with their sin - Maybe divide the corresponding Seven Heavenly Virtues among them and have them struggle with it (Mammon seems to be written that way??? He practices charity and sacrifices himself but doesn't want others to know it [see the Devilgram in which he reveals why the witches abuse and exploit him, I sadly forgot the name rip]), but I agree that Beel's particular kindness should have stood out way more. He shines so brightly compared to the others when it comes to sincerity and I think you'd be spot-on with your take on the brothers' jealousy! Canon Asmo still wants to preserve the image of the Jewel of the Heavens and tries to be angelic and beautiful all the time. Satan is the only pureblooded demon in the house, I think that's what already gives him identity issues - an angelic Beel is just the cherry on top. And, ironically, the opposite of Belphie, who looks sweet and harmless but is so bitter and manipulative.

I think Lucifer's in an awkward spot with everybody, kind of. They are all aware that they love each other, but everyone thinks that Lucifer is the scariest person in the world. They're terrified of him 💀 when facing their respective fears (I can't remember which lesson or event maybe (??) :((( sorry), Mammon sees an enraged Lucifer and Satan sees Angel Lucifer... that's telling 🤡

Tbh Nightbringer Lucifer should exude Icarus energy - I've never thought about it but you're absolutely right.

Sorry I didn't comment on everything, but you've given me so much to bounce off of its incredible. Your ramblings>>>>>>

And, again, sorry for the spam and for this long long long long ask omg I'm so sorry (especially the Satan bit but I'm passionate about my boy)

!!! No problem! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! :D I really like talking about my guys, and potential stories!!

Ah, Satan, I love him but I can definitely see the flaws in his writing.

I'm kinda..... weird well it comes to stories. If given the choice between consuming a well written perfect story, and a story that has so much potential but didn't stick the landing, I will always choose the story that didn't stick the landing.

Which is crazy! I know! But I noticed that stories that have potential stick with me a lotttttt longer than ones I have nothing to change. I think it's because people are creative, they like thinking about what they want in a story, and so when you give them potential they want to mend that potential into a story they like.

All this to say, I'm surprisingly not salty about the bad writing decisions in Obey Me lol. Solmare is giving little hints of characterization they wouldn't follow through on, and I take those crumbs and make my own story with it lol.

I completely forgot about Lilith's alternative storyline! Omg, yeah Lilith is still alive!!! Gosh, I really really hope they do something with that.

I'm kinda torn on whether I want Lilith to become apart of the family again, since I liked the acceptance of grief that took place in the original game. I don't think Solmare should undo that by having her reunite with her brothers and everything being fine. But I do hope that Solmare does something with that storyline.

I'm upset that there isn't going to be a continuing story in the original game too 😔 though I do wonder if that's going to remain the case. I mean, I don't think Solmare is going to discontinue the game, seeing as players kinda need to play it to get Nightbringer. I'm crossing my fingers here, but I hope that Solmare eventually does something with the original game. They say there are still going to be events, so I hope that the events are longer. I know a lot of people liked a lot of the events, the pirate one, for example. So it'll be interesting if the original game focused on those, expanding the worlds they already created.

Having the difficulty adjusted for these longer events would fall in line with their plans to change the difficulty for the main game. Plus, it could still be paid to win since events still make quite a lot of money, with new cards and everything.

They could even, fingers crossed they don't but they COULD is the scary part, introduce a new currency for these longer events that open up an alternative route. Kinda like what they already have with the event keys but more predatory.... (A lot of gacha games already do this, the Arcana comes to mind)

!!! I've been meaning to talk about the Seven Heavenly Virtues!! I know that if I would ever do something with the 7 Sins, having the 7 Virtues be an aspect was always the plan lol.

Though, in my mind, it'll be interesting if these Virtues are their own characters, and each Sin and Virtue has their own unique relationship. Do they absolutely hate each other? Do they have a weird friendship? Do they want to murder each other? A dredging respect for the other? Madly in love?

Giving each brother a redeeming quality relating to a virtue sounds really interesting! And I didn't even notice that they kinda already did that with Mammon!

Having an angelic Beel with a strong sense of right and wrong is angsty, but it can also be played for comedy. Satan coming up with a scheme to hurt some demons and Beel is like ":( but that's wrong tho." And Satan is like "you're absolutely right, little brother, I don't know what I was thinking." And gently pushing him outside of the room. Once gone Satan turns back to everyone and is like "so they we get a buzz saw and-"

Morally upstanding Beel could also have a really interesting relationship with Simeon. I kinda feel like Lucifer is the only one allowed to have interesting relationships with the other characters outside of his family. His loyalty to Diavolo, his dislike of Solomon and his constant asking for a pact, and his complicated relationship with Simeon. He and Simeon could butt heads a lot, with Simeon believing that Beel can still be saved, and thinking that the only reason Beel is stuck in the Devildom is because of his loyalty to Lucifer. Luke could also believe this, and try to help Beel overcome his sin (while also accidentally causing Beel to hurt himself by starving himself) to try and make Beel into an angel again.

Idk, there's nothing in game to suggest this, but I just think it'll be interesting for Simeon and Beel to have a more strained relationship. It adds layers to Simeon's relationship with Lucifer, and Beel's relationship with Lucifer.

Maybe in the Celestial realm, the two of them were always butting heads on how to handle things. Simeon could be passive-aggressive toward Beel, believing that he was always meant to fall because of his bad decisions in the Celestial Realm, while still seeing that he's the most angelic of all the brothers, and thus can still possibly be "saved".

Give me Beel getting mad at Simeon for choosing goodness over his family. Give him loyal Beel who has a golden heart, but will walk with his family into Hell because he will never abandon them! Give me the two of them arguing over what's more important, morality, or family?

Lucifer giving Icarus energy is such a good idea! Give me Lucifer trying his best and still failing. Give me my fail husband Luci <3

Don't worry about not commenting on anything! I'm pretty sure tumblr has a word limit on how long a comment can be anyway, and all you can tell, we both like to ramble lol.

Don't apologize for long ramblings!! I love to hear them and bounce off of them!

I'm happy with getting new asks, if you want we can dm and ramble about this? It just might be quicker than asks lol. If you have a Tumblr account, that is, no sweat if if you don't! Like I said, i like getting your asks!

5 Popular Women GMs That Will Inspire Every Girl Child

Time and again women have proved that they are a force to be reckoned with in every sphere of life. And the chess world is no exception. From not being allowed to play, to having separate tournaments specially for women — it has been a long journey!

Despite facing challenges and pressure from society, women have excelled in chess and will only keep getting better from here on.

The pioneers of this change are undoubtedly the women Grandmasters all over the world. They beat stereotypes and play neck and neck with men in international tournaments.

Let us take a look at some of the popular women Grandmasters in Chess –

1. Nona Gaprindashvili

This list won’t get its deserved start if we do not mention the first woman to ever receive the International Grandmaster title from FIDE. Born in 1941, this Georgian (then Soviet) player has played in numerous international tournaments and won several of them.

She was the Women’s World Champion from 1962 to 1978! She participated in the Women’s Chess Olympiad for the Soviet Union many times between 1963 to 1990 and for Georgia in 1992. She contributed immensely to the team in these olympiads and won many gold medals along the way! She has also won the Women’s World Senior Championship several times between 1995 to 2019.

Nona Gaprindashvili has given more to the field of chess than words can express. She was the flagbearer of women’s chess and gave hope and inspiration to many young girls to work hard and achieve the Grandmaster title.

2. Judit Polgar

Popularly referred to as the strongest woman chess player of all time, Grandmaster Judit Polgar needs absolutely no introduction! She was known for her aggressive, tactical and fierce playing style. But here’s something that has cemented her fierce reputation amongst the chess world. She is the only woman to have played in the men’s candidates tournament and to have crossed the 2700 elo mark in the history of chess!

In her long and successful chess career, she has won games against fellow legends like GM Anatoly Karpov, GM Garry Kasparov, GM Magnus Carlsen, GM Viswanathan Anand, GM Vladimir Kramnik, GM Veselin Topalov and many more in either rapid or classical formats.

She is the only woman to be ranked among the top 10 of all chess players, her peak ranking being 8th in 2004.

She has been a source of inspiration for countless women chess players. And she truly has broken many gender stereotypes people have about women playing chess.

3. Koneru Humpy

The highest ranked Indian woman player and one of the finest Grandmasters of our country, Koneru Humpy has been a sensation since her childhood days. She achieved the title of Grandmaster in 2002, at the young age of 15 years and 1 month – a feat not achieved by any other Indian woman so far!

GM Koneru has won many world youth championships and in 2001 she won the coveted World Junior Girls Championship. Interestingly, she participated in the boys’ section of the World Junior Championship in 2004 and tied for 5th place which is an extremely amazing achievement!

In 2019, she won the Women’s World Rapid Championship. In 2020, she was a crucial part of the gold medal winning Indian team for the Online Chess Olympiad.

She is also the recipient of the honorable Padma Shri Award and Arjuna Award for her contribution to the field of chess. In 2020, she received the BBC Indian Sportswoman of the year award.

If Vishy Anand has influenced India to take up chess, GM Koneru Humpy has done the same for young Indian girls.

4. Alexandra Kosteniuk

Popularly known as the chess queen, Russian GM Alexandra Kosteniuk is one of the finest female Grandmasters in the history of chess. She was the Women’s World Chess Champion from 2008 to 2010. She is also the first person to win the Chess960 Women’s World Championship. In 2013, she became the first woman to win the men’s Swiss Chess Championship.

She has won numerous gold medals while playing for team Russia in the Women’s Chess Olympiad, Women’s World Chess Team Championship and Women’s European Chess Team Championship.

GM Kosteniuk is known to play aggressively and quickly, often creating pressure over her opponent with her speed. She has been one of the top women grandmasters in Russia for many years and has even won the Women’s World Cup in 2021.

5. Hou Yifan

A chess prodigy, GM Hou Yifan has taken the chess world by storm since her debut. She is the youngest female to achieve the Grandmaster title and the second highest rated female chess player after GM Judit Polgar.

Between 2010 to 2017, she has won the Women’s World Chess Championship 4 times!

Currently ranked no.1 in active players, she has held that streak since September 2015!

Many regard her as the best active female chess player and her track record only proves her capabilities.

Apart from being a successful chess player, she’s also given equal importance to academics and completed her degree from University of Oxford. She is now working as a professor at Shenzhen University.

WGMs - a humble gratitude

Women have had to face many obstacles in their respective careers over the years. Despite that, they have strongly overcome these hurdles and established themselves firmly.

The female Grandmasters mentioned in this article and many others have done the same in the field of chess. They have broken barriers and set new records and fought neck and neck with their male competitors. They are a constant source of inspiration for many young girls to take up chess professionally.

To such exceptional female personalities, we extend our humble gratitude!

Unleashing Your Teen Patti Skills: Becoming a Teen Patti Master

Introduction

Welcome to the world of Teen Patti, where every hand holds the promise of excitement, strategy, and the thrill of winning big. As enthusiasts of this beloved card game, we understand the burning desire to ascend to the ranks of teenpattimaster. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve deep into the strategies, techniques, and mindset required to elevate your game to the next level.

Understanding the Basics

Before we embark on the journey to mastery, let's revisit the fundamentals of Teen Patti. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, this game shares similarities with the renowned Poker. The objective is simple: to have the best three-card hand or to bluff your opponents into folding.

Rules of the Game

In Teen Patti, players are dealt three cards each, and the hand rankings are akin to traditional poker. The hierarchy starts with the highest-ranking set, the Trail (three cards of the same rank), followed by the Pure Sequence, Sequence, Color, Pair, and High Card.

Strategies for Success

Mastering Probability

A crucial aspect of Teen Patti mastery is understanding the probabilities associated with different hands. By familiarizing yourself with the odds of drawing specific combinations, you can make informed decisions during gameplay.

Psychological Warfare

Beyond the cards themselves, Teen Patti is a game of wits and psychology. Learning to read your opponents' tells, bluff effectively, and maintain a poker face are indispensable skills for any aspiring Teen Patti Master.

Bankroll Management

In the pursuit of mastery, it's essential to exercise prudence in managing your bankroll. Avoid reckless bets that could jeopardize your financial stability and instead adopt a disciplined approach to wagering.

Advanced Techniques

Card Counting

While Teen Patti may not involve as many cards as traditional Poker, card counting can still provide valuable insights into the distribution of remaining cards. Skilled players can leverage this information to gain an edge over their opponents.

Positional Awareness

Just like in Chess, positioning is critical in Teen Patti. By observing the betting patterns of your opponents and strategically positioning yourself at the table, you can exert greater control over the flow of the game.

The Mindset of a Teen Patti Master

Beyond the realm of strategy and technique lies the intangible quality that sets true masters apart: the mindset. A Teen Patti Master approaches the game with a blend of confidence, composure, and adaptability. They embrace both victory and defeat as opportunities for growth, continuously honing their skills with each hand dealt.

Conclusion

Becoming a teenpattimaster is not merely about winning hands; it's about embracing the journey of self-improvement and mastery. Armed with the knowledge, strategies, and mindset outlined in this guide, you are well-equipped to embark on your quest for Teen Patti supremacy.

Indian chess sensation R Praggnanandhaa, the nation's current chess king, has been awarded a brand new Mahindra XUV400 EV by Anand Mahindra, chairman of Mahindra and Mahindra Group. This heartwarming gesture comes as a fulfillment of a promise made by Mr. Mahindra in 2023, recognizing Praggnanandhaa's exceptional achievements in the world of chess. A Rising Star in Chess: R praggnanandhaa's Journey At just 18 years old, Praggnanandhaa has taken the chess world by storm. He currently holds the prestigious title of India's number one chess player, surpassing the legendary Viswanathan Anand in the rankings. This isn't the only milestone Praggnanandhaa has achieved. In 2023, he etched his name in history by becoming the youngest Indian to reach the finals of the prestigious FIDE World Cup, a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication. A Promise Kept: Anand Mahindra Rewards Excellence Recognizing Praggnanandhaa's remarkable feat, Anand Mahindra, a renowned industrialist and chess enthusiast himself, took to social media (previously known as Twitter) in 2023 to announce a special gift for the young prodigy. He pledged to present the Praggnanandhaa family with a Mahindra XUV400 EV, India's leading electric SUV. This recent handover ceremony marks the fulfillment of that promise.

After His Shocking Loss, Carlsen Laments the Lack of Anti-Cheat Procedures in Qatar

The top-ranked chess player in the world suffered a devastating defeat in the second round of the Qatar Masters Open 2023 competition against Kazakhstani grandmaster Alisher Suleymenov, who has a rating of 2512 and entered the competition as the 47th seed and was ranked number 578 in the world. The chess GOAT, who complained about the lack of anti-cheat procedures at the competition after today's game, was destroyed by Suleymenov's stunning sacrifice attack. It is tough to overstate just how brutal a beatdown Carlsen received in round two of the Qatar Masters Open, where he succumbed to a significantly lower-rated opponent in just 31 moves, who pulled off a devastating sacrificial attack against the world No. 1 in incredible fashion. It took just one inaccurate move from Carlsen to get into trouble, a miscalculated knight retreat enabling a spectacular double piece sacrifice to rip open his defenses and force a quick resignation soon thereafter. It was a performance worthy of the chess elite, so Carlsen blamed the opponent’s wristwatch for his poor performance. In a quick Twitter thread, the Norwegian voiced his frustrations in detail: https://twitter.com/MagnusCarlsen/status/1712485816042484179 Clearly, “as soon as I saw my opponent was wearing a watch early in the game, I lost my ability to concentrate” belongs in the pantheon of legendary quotes from the modern chess era like “chess speaks for itself,” “now you resign,” or “takes, takes, takes, takes.” The world No. 1’s main point, however, was about the lax protocols at the tournament. Qatar Masters 2023 relays the moves to online platforms without a delay, and spectators are apparently allowed to walk around with their phones, prompting Carlsen to reignite the discussion about the possibilities of high-profile offline chess cheating incidents. https://twitter.com/MagnusCarlsen/status/1712498697827705000 Carlsen further elaborated on his concerns when it comes to wearing any sort of watch in a later tweet, but it seems he may not have the regulations right in this instance. FIDE’s arbiter manual states that “during a game, a player is forbidden to have any electronic device not specifically approved by the arbiter in the playing venue,” but clause 11.3.2.1 and the rest of the document only specifies smart watches. In fact, one of the test questions at the end of the manual specifically refers to a scenario where the player is discovered after the game to have worn one, and the explanation states that “if the player had been wearing an ordinary watch he may not have been happy if the Arbiter disturbed him to check,” suggesting a regular wristwatch is fine. Two years ago, an Indian player was forced to forfeit a match because he was wearing a regular watch, but that was due to India’s extra-stringent regulations on the matter. That said, for “maximum protection” tournaments, the handbook states “watches, pens and other writing devices containing metal are not allowed in the playing area,” listing the following criteria for such competitions: - FIDE Level 1 events (Official FIDE events as defined by the FIDE Events Commission or FIDE World Championship and Olympiad Commission) - Round-robins with an average rating of 2600 or more (2400 for Women’s events) - Events with prize funds in excess of EUR 100,000 Qatar Masters 2023 is not a round-robin event (and even if it were, the average rating of the participants is 2459). The prize pool is $100,000, which is also barely below the specified threshold. These aren’t just sour grapes from an underperforming player. Not only did Carlsen specifically congratulate his opponent (stating he “played an amazing game” and emphasizing how “this is not to accuse my opponent of anything”) before going on to complain about the tournament organization, he’s been on quite a tear lately. He flew to Qatar after winning the European Club Cup for the first time with his team just a few days ago, which itself came straight after his runner-up finish at the AI Cup, the latest entry of the Champions Chess Tour. He also finally dethroned Nakamura at the Chess.com Speed Chess Championship, and finally added that last missing big title to his collection by winning the World Cup. This isn’t the first time in recent memory Carlsen courted controversy with regard to cheating-related statements: last September, he ignited the Hans Niemann saga, outright accusing the young American player of cheating “more—and more recently—than he has publicly admitted” after an unexpected loss that ended his 53-game unbeaten streak. This single defeat cost Carlsen a whopping -8.7 Elo. To contrast and compare, his victorious World Cup run only netted him +3.8. That’s the price to pay when you’re this far ahead of your competitors, but as today’s result shows, that doesn’t make you invulnerable. Read the full article
