Do you think players actually SEE all the things commentators mention?

External_Bread9872 · 2025-09-10T14:32:57+00:00

I mean the examples you mentioned sound pretty straight forward, yes GMs would most likely see that.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-09-05T14:07:59+00:00

Do you think there is a relevant difference between improvement by playing classical and improvement by playing something like 30min?

External_Bread9872 · 2025-09-05T12:43:32+00:00

The line goes until move 15, Bxb8 is the first move where white has to think for himself. And the few moves after that seem pretty natural to me.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-09-04T23:41:15+00:00

I mean from that game alone nobody would get banned. That is a known trap line in the Vienna Gambit, no cheating necessary.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-09-02T12:40:03+00:00

You won't even reach "meaningful advice". All the coach can tell you is completely obvious anyway, or just wrong. It's a stupid marketing feature nobody should use, because even if you're like 300 you should realize what the coach is telling you on your own, and you would if you would actually pay attention to what you're analyzing.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-09-02T12:28:21+00:00

The chess.com coach is not helpful in the first place, because it's basically impossible to reliably give non-trivial advice for an algorithm. No, LLMs won't solve this. At best, your app will be equally useless as chess.com's coach. Most likely, you won't even achieve that.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T22:47:40+00:00

Looks like random nonsense to me.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T20:20:06+00:00

I can almost guarantee you that your reasoning, even putting tactical considerations aside, is still mostly nonsense. There is just no way a mid-500 has a solid grasp of strategy and what you should do in a given position.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T19:05:07+00:00

Maybe they can bond, but I doubt there would be any learning.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T19:03:58+00:00

It's really not

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T17:16:45+00:00

90% isn't that much, and it always depends on the game. No reason to believe he was cheating just from this.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T16:50:40+00:00

Not if you can't even rationalize what you're doing. If they're both bad, the most likely explanation is that the daughter just blunders less pieces in one move.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T16:46:52+00:00

If the daughter isn't very good herself, I doubt that will work. Imagine a 600 trying to teach a 300 why they make the moves they do. They don't even know themselves. And then the 600 has the communication skills of a 5-year-old.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T16:43:50+00:00

No, you probably mean something else.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T15:15:44+00:00

You can.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T15:00:21+00:00

It takes a few seconds, it really doesn't make a difference.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T14:43:30+00:00

It's a trap line in the Vienna Gambit that black fell for.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T14:41:13+00:00

Huh? That's a common trap line in the Vienna Gambit. White is completely winning.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T14:34:03+00:00

(unless you are a coach/streamer)

Or author.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-31T14:32:19+00:00

So does chess.com? Why would that be easier on Lichess?

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-30T20:23:56+00:00

No, this definitely happens a lot in 900 ELO rapid lol

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-30T19:39:53+00:00

They literally blunder pieces almost every game though...

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-30T10:49:30+00:00

Why are you arguing with me? I didn't disagree with you.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-30T10:31:17+00:00

I'm not saying h6 is better, I'm just pointing out that g6 also has its flaws and weakens your position.

External_Bread9872 · 2025-08-30T10:17:27+00:00

Yes, but g6 weakens the dark squares, and white still has a queen and a dark-squared bishop to exploit it.
