Chess
Chess—the royal game—will retain its crown until it gets solved. There is still some margin to get there since only miniature versions (known as minichess or microchess) have been.
Openings
A big part of "serious" chess is the opening theory.

Fabrice's chess games
I'm currently (since 9 February (2015)) playing on the fantastic, free-software platform, lichess (see en.lichess.org/@/laussy). I won my first tournament there on 4, January (2018) in the U1700 Blitz Arena, following a streak of terrible losses allowing me to compete in such low-rated competition. I first broke the 2000-rating barrier on 18 March (2020), with an admittedly very poor game, against an opponent who managed to promote a second queen and who missed a mate in 1, but which was however starting from a 1994 rating, allowing to pass this long-time objective. My current record is 2057, achieved on 30 March (2020).
Tournaments I won
- U1700 Bullet Inc Arena on 25, May (2018).
- U2000 Bullet Arena on 23, June (2019).
- U2000 Superblitz (2nd) on 27 November (2021).
- Chess@UAM on 16 October (2024). I regularly win such tournaments when I am the top player but this one had two stronger players (one being Diego).
Sicilian defense
My first game. I was waiting for someone to send me a parameter for a computer code by email, and started playing crappy blitz chess on the internet. I decided this was a loss of time and decided to play at least 10 minutes games (as compared to lightning that go 1 or 2 minutes in all) and to analyze them. During my first game came the parameter by phone, disrupting me quite a lot, but I won anyway as starting from a neutral rating, I was matched against an easy opponent.
- 23. e5 is a blunder, the released defence of the knight on d2 is not compensated by 23... Qxd2! 24. Qxe7?? since Qg2#.
- 31... Rad8 is the loosing move.
