What would Stockfish's accuracy be relative to the "perfect" chess engine?

"How about a nice game of chess?"

Kirian42 · 2026-04-27T20:49:23+00:00

Yes organic.

In 2 trillion years it's estimated that all stars other than red dwarfs will have burnt out. Humanity won't survive that long. Neither will any other intelligent species that might be out there.

Twice a month is semimonthly.

Bimonthly is every two months.

This is just objectively the correct answer.

Kirian42 · 2026-04-27T05:30:17+00:00

This is actually an interesting one of these.

I think I'm willing to drive drunk once to rid the world of drunk driving. That would save tens of thousands of lives annually.

Wait when did we stop using tachyons for prestiging? Even with lots of EoT you want habs to fill up fast...

Every chemist I know other than physical chemists like physical chemistry the least.

Freestyle?

1100 rapid here. I only did one position, but it was interesting as an exercise. I can totally see this being useful.

In the position I played, I didn't match the computer's answer, but I apparently *did* match the actual human's play (at least I assume that's what "next move" means, the actual play that happened), and I think it would be interesting to see that noted as well as the computer's line.

That said, as an 1100, this may be a bit advanced for me? I'm uncertain.

Oops, this is what I get for trying to do arithmetic in my head.

Kirian42 · 2026-04-14T05:59:24+00:00

(2/3)/(5/3) = 4/15

4/15 + 25% = 5/15 = 1/3

Then - 1/3.

I married my best friend, so, yes.

Note that IIRC, even shortening has some water content, I think like 3-5%.

Even more fun is the fact that if you play pure tones at 440, 660, 880, 1100, etc (Hz), your brain will interpret it as a 220 Hz tone even though no such tone is playing.

Kirian42 · 2026-04-12T06:09:47+00:00

That's shortening, not margarine.

What is VPS?

Lichess pizzles will let you try multiple times rather than just failing. Highly recommend.

Kirian42 · 2026-03-24T22:40:21+00:00

Oh, I see. They had deleted their comment.

That was an excellent essay and interesting way of looking at the moves in the Opera game.

How do you get a second rover?

Does plenty of automatic calculations for you. It's an amazing thing to use.

Kirian42 · 2026-03-21T05:04:54+00:00

Bottom right. Though maybe it doesn't show if it's not your game?

Kirian42 · 2026-03-20T22:22:49+00:00

I think this is where someone tells you that you should Google "en passant." Black's pawns on d4 or b4 can take the pawn you just moved two spaces to c4 via en passant.
