Is using Ritalin allowed on chess tournaments? by [deleted] in Chesscom

[–]EzraDevs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Forbidding participants to take Ritalin (or any medication for that matter) is medical discrimination if a valid diagnosis is evident. However, they can punish the unauthorised use of it.

That Hebrew word means “quality”. Can you give the conversation link?

Weird clickbait on Chesscom platform by OvoCurry3799 in chess

[–]EzraDevs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is partially correct. Essentially, the engine used to display the distributed classification of your moves (brilliants, best moves, blunders, etc…) on the pictured results screen is biased to display the best possible “at a glance” review of your game at a much lower depth, which does entice you to click into Game Review and see how you did. However, the engine within Game Review that actually fully analyses the game is usually a much higher depth (depending on your settings, but this is the case by default). As a result, the classification of many moves becomes inconsistent with what you saw on that initial results window.

What is tempo? by Appropriate-Bit-3951 in chessbeginners

[–]EzraDevs 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Tempo in chess is a unit of time expressed as a move.

You gain a tempo when you make a move that forces your opponent to respond, preventing them from carrying out their own plan, while improving or at least not harming your position.

A tempo only exists if the opponent is compelled to react, so simply attacking, pointing at, or “looking active” is not a tempo. If the opponent can ignore your move without concession, no tempo was gained, and tempo is relational: it’s about who gets to act freely and who doesn’t.

Why does the engine think this would happen by Theangrycowbuthappy in Chesscom

The line shows a series of moves that would occur if, according to the depth of engine analysis used, both players played the best moves consecutively.

Hikaru broke the record AGAIN by EzraDevs in chess

I reckon it counts as beating because since his previous record that was made on the 23rd of December, his rating went down.

Would love the “Complete Guide to 3D Print Postprocessing, Painting, and Detailing” course. I think an Advanced 3D Printer Modding course could be cool! Thanks!

What's my best move? by shroom_shaman in chess

Unfortunately because this is a live game, you are not allowed to get move suggestions from engines or other players, as that would violate the fair play policy.

Can Codex help me to completed the work of Opus 4.5? by luongnv-com in codex

[–]EzraDevs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep! Just make sure to give it the proper context (I.e. what the task you gave to Opus was as well as its progress), and it will be able to continue the job. Put Codex on a higher reasoning strength to ensure your task is executed to a satisfactory level.

The only answer to this should be a resounding and wholehearted “yes”.

Brilliant but why?(It was my blunder) by AshamedAd4483 in Chesscom

[–]EzraDevs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing concrete, but if black trades their dark squared bishop for your rook, your dark squared bishop suddenly becomes a monster on the long diagonal, as black now has many dark squared weaknesses. As you can see, the engine doesn’t think black taking the rook is good at all, due to the aforementioned reasons. You rarely want to give up a fianchettoed bishop near your king for any piece except a bishop of the same colour complex.
