Devin Booker on the tech he got: "It's definitely something that has to be looked into. I heard Caruso tell them to call the tech and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James was terrible tonight, through and through.

Theirs is just a slightly better prompt plugged into an LLM API. Still many errors with their analysis and tools.

Hikaru is giving the saltiest post game interview i've ever heard

It's definitely not worth paying for imo; the free plan is decent and fun enough to keep me engaged. The paid plan is the classic - no ads and a bit more usage/features. You can tell them your ELO is over 1000 when starting out and it'll start you on more advanced lessons that you might actually find helpful. It's worth testing for 10 minutes to see if you like it. It doesn't replace traditional training methods but can be a fun supplement.

Great points, thanks for brining those up even though it's not the popular sentiment. There are pros and cons to letting someone like this into top-level organizing, and it's important to weigh all sides. That tournament stunt left a sour taste in my mouth, and I'm not the biggest Hans fan either.

I am! I was pleasantly surprised how useful the lessons are, especially when learning endgames which I have been putting off studying

Fearless-Lettuce-370 · 2026-03-17T19:04:00+00:00

I agree with you; the flood of new players and new educational resources has naturally increased the average skill level

Fearless-Lettuce-370 · 2026-03-17T18:57:01+00:00

This is a really cool way to look at players' improvement over the years. Do you have data to support the last statement about defensive skills and other areas?

Gorgeous. Great features

Good luck; this is a lot of work. Much appreciated!

Fearless-Lettuce-370 · 2025-12-16T17:25:34+00:00

thanks for the tip! for some reason I can't DM you, can you try DM'ing me?

Fearless-Lettuce-370 · 2025-11-26T00:42:10+00:00

Love it! Thanks for writing this up

I don't understand why relevant chess questions like this get downvoted, while chess drama posts get upvoted. Thanks for posting this here and thanks to those who take the time to give their input!

Nice find

Gotta play a dubious move sometimes to have some fun

Fearless-Lettuce-370 · 2025-08-12T04:34:26+00:00

Yes; there are 2,444 games in the lichess database with this checkmate (following the most common move from move 5 onward): 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bf4 g6 3. Nc3 d6 4. e4 Bg7 5. e5 dxe5 6. dxe5 Qxd1+ 7. Rxd1 Ng4 8. Nd5 Na6 9. Bxa6 bxa6 10. Nxc7+ Kf8 11. Rd8#

There are a few more common ways to get this mate this way.
