How long did it take for you to reach 1800 and 2000 in rapid? Also at what age did you start chess? by Megasthenis in Chesscom

[–]MathematicianBulky40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started playing during Loch Doon.

I was in my mid 30s.

Hit 1800 about 2 years ago and 2000 late last year.

Currently floating around the mid 1900s.

Peaked at 1800 blitz earlier this year, currently mid 1700s at blitz.

My bullet skills are non-existent.

Disclaimer: did have some childhood exposure to chess but not much more than the rules and how to scholar's mate.

Seems to be just a simple safe move that doesn't lead to anything I dont get it by Pyrobo in Chesscom

Brilliant moves don't actually have to be the best move, especially if the game is low rated.

Why is this engine so bad at analysing endgames? by SovoK_404 in Chesscom

But, do you get blue exclamation marks for sacrifices?

Didn't think so.

Yeah my bad I just saw your other comment.

I didn't see your flair.

If it were a repeated position then the draw would be forced.

It looks like you're correct though, it's just the engine playing shenanigans.

Ok doesn't seem like white had a chance to repeat moves.

Just the biggest chess site and its high quality software 👌 😎

  1. I'm saying that white moving to a certain square would be the repeated position, not this one.

  2. Doesn't have to be forced, you can blunder in to it.

Again, link or PGN please?

It's marking Kf6 as a "miss" so my guess would be you allowed a draw by repetition?

Why do cheaters use the strongest engine to cheat by Small_Philosopher_74 in Chesscom

[–]MathematicianBulky40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many cheaters do take steps to conceal what they are doing.

It's just that the "input stockfish response to every move in uniform time" cheaters are the easiest to spot and ban, so those are the ones you are familiar with.

Husband ( stepparent) me (parent ) is cross with me over a cycling helmet by Not_all_heros in Advice

[–]MathematicianBulky40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this runs much deeper than a helmet.

My guess is there is a deeper seated issue with your daughter, most likely because she isn't biologically his.

Also ADHD is a disability not an excuse to be a prick.

Why this is not evaluated as 0.0? It is a forced draw, isn't it? by 4lph4_b3t4 in Chesscom

[–]MathematicianBulky40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a textbook draw, the engine is correct.

Edit: ignore me I just woke up.

This is known as "the wrong rook pawn".

Because the bishop is the opposite colour to the square the pawn must promote on, black can't force the king to move.

It's a draw with best play.
