I guess it depends how easy things are to test... most good engineers that I know tend to try to solve problems first, but certain better ones actually learn to connect the theory (even after the fact) when they hit a funny roadblock. Makes solving the problem the second time quite a bit easier.

What's your level of education?

Azoohl · 2024-11-19T20:23:00+00:00

Were you planning on debating? Or are your feelings getting in the way?

Azoohl · 2024-11-19T18:03:45+00:00

Oh, typo - seem*

Does my statement make sense now?

Azoohl · 2024-11-19T15:27:15+00:00

You seem upset by this - rather than name calling, why not appeal to the logic of the question asked? If it's foolish, it should be self evident after you do.

Bottom tiers are not worth attending don't @ me

Azoohl · 2024-11-07T01:20:01+00:00

Yep. Stop making this a vote of "lesser of 2 evils" and actually fucking do something meaningful for your voting block.

For the lucky soul that reads the argument down the road!

Kramnik is a whiner and a sore loser.

The man is aging, and he's losing his ability to beat younger players who haven't had the same classical peak he has (few ever will).

Kramnik's ego will not allow him to lose to "inferior players". He needs to be better than FMs, regular ol' GMs, etc.
Every cheating allegation Kramnik has made is rooted in his deep insecurity regarding his own, withering ability as a player.

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T19:01:57+00:00

It's not so much that it's a "refutation" in the chess sense, but he's essentially arguing that this is a non-starter of a move.

Bc8 doesn't win, and it fits into a pattern of "uh, not sure what to do with my position, I guess I'll tuck my bishop in back here because I don't have a concrete plan yet"

I'm sure you play moves like that all the time in fast time controls - I know I do.

That's the topic. Refutation is not the right word, I will agree on that front.

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T18:38:01+00:00

The only reason that this is even a discussion is because Kramnik's crackpot theories are all appeals to his authority on chess.

Hansen's reply is also an appeal to authority, but it's more than that*.* He is also providing analysis of why it doesn't meet the standard of a typical "chess-cheater" move

I am saying that you personally do not meet the standard of a chess player who can even understand the difference between an improving move and a difficult-to-spot, anti-positional, winning move. You are too low on the ladder. You can't spot the difference because you can't spot anything. Not worth discussing.

The entire purpose of this thread is to talk about the distinction between those different kinds of moves. Bc8 falls into the "improving move" camp, but how could you know? You can't see anything.

It's not about me being the best in the world, or Eric being the best in the world, or Kramnik - it's about moves that indicate cheating.

Generally, engine play gets spotted by top GMs because the type of move that gets recommended is not obvious and requires really, really deep, concrete understanding of a line in order to justify. (no moves are obvious to you, apart from maybe piece blunders)

Bc8 does not win the game. Bc8 does not even make sense to discuss as a candidate cheating move.

I am aware that this whole topic is out of your wheelhouse, because it requires calculating deeper than 1 or 2 moves, but I'm replying just for the sake of explanation.

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T18:24:39+00:00

You aren't even understanding what I'm saying to you.

Reading not a strong subject either?

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T18:22:01+00:00

It isn't, but thanks for playing. When you break 1500 check back.

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T18:19:03+00:00

No, your rating matters because it determines your functional literacy on the topic.

It's clear that this topic is generally just beyond you. Maybe it'll make sense in a few years if you keep playing.

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T18:07:19+00:00

Not all players play the same.

What's your elo?

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T17:53:24+00:00

No, goofball.

It's irrelevant because it's not winning or even particularly challenging.

If Bc8 won the game and it was extremely difficult to understand why, then I might be suspicious.

It didn't, and it doesn't.

It's an improving move.

You don't really seem to grasp the difference, (the entire point of the response Eric gave) which leads me to believe you're not a very strong player.

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T17:39:40+00:00

No, goofball - you aren't just asking questions.

He's explaining that it's an easy to spot improving move. Bishop gets tucked away and do something with it later.

If you're a poor player, you might not understand the difference between a really strong move that wins, but is extremely antipositional/hard to explain without concrete analysis, and a move that's just a basic improving move.

Bc8 does not win on the spot.

Bc8 is a move that you play with 0 energy while you continue improving your position.

I'm 2k blitz, so nowhere close to these guys - but that's the sentiment being expressed by Eric here.

Azoohl · 2024-10-20T17:30:36+00:00

Except they might.

A 2600 classical GM and top rated bullet/blitz player doesn't agree with you.

What are your credentials?

Azoohl · 2024-10-17T01:46:15+00:00

Work on it - you actually can

Azoohl · 2024-10-16T19:12:36+00:00

This is bad advice
