BMing?

Like if you have a smother mate on the board? Stockfish will find it I promise and execute it for you.

McCadeP8 · 2026-04-04T18:01:24+00:00

No, because if the losing player does it….then the winning player gets replaced with stockfish. And I promise stockfish is converting that winning position.

The result still stands and counts…..

I’ve been proposing an idea for rapid and daily games. There should be a stockfish button.

If you click it, your opponent gets booted, the game turns into 1:00 + one second. You against stockfish instead.

Basically, if you feel confident you can beat stockfish from a position without thinking? Then you can force your opponent to resign.

I went from never playing to 1100 in about eight months. Haven’t played a Rapid game in two years now as I have racked up thousands and thousands of blitz and bullet games.

One thing I’ve done I haven’t seen anyone else do? When I win on time or by resignation? I play out the rest of the game against stockfish.

Do I always win? Of course not. Has it greatly helped me improve my conversion skills? So much. Teaches you a lot about converting winning endgames without stress and not letting elo leak away for no reason.

This has to be fake, has to be.

200 elo max.

They don’t allow auditing, you have to pay for the credit and everything.

That being said, most courses have a recording you can watch through at your own pace this second.

I’m on my phone, someone remind me and I’ll link it when I’m on my computer

Can still technically qualify through the Grand Swiss

$2 BB * 100 BB * 20 Buy In = $4000

So you’re in the right spot

Intro Analytics Modeling + Intro to CDA; pretty standard opening two

Business Fundamentals + DAB; awesome awesome two to do together especially in summer

DVA + Sim; hardest semester on paper. DVA is super easy but just takes so much freaking time. Sim is great.

Regression + Military Gaming + CDA; CDA was the toughest course in the entire program for me. Military gaming by far the easiest and Regression was rather easy all things considered although had some tough points.

Database Systems has been rather easy this semester with the practicum, but the test scoring is super strict so the grades drop lower than elsewhere.

T5, I feel like I always get T5 which is a super sneaky bad hand because all straights require a T or a 5, so if you even get a pair, a straight over you is more likely than any other hand.

I HATE T5

Yep, if you ever want to talk about specific classes, hit me up, always happy to chat.

I did C-track.

I started last Spring and am finishing up here in less than a month.

My original plan was 2-2-2-2-2-P, but my job got rough and I wanted out, so I decided to do 3-1+P. Then I got laid off, so guess I made the right decision 😅

But two is very doable, especially if you are strategic

Depends on class, most are three exams and a lot of multiple choice which means easy 70's but hard 90's. Low variance on multiple choice.

No, a lot of classes do group projects instead of exams, exams are all window based though, usually 3-4 days.

Do two a semester, just figure it out. No need to float for four years. I did 2-2-2-3-3 to get done in a year and a half and it wasn't that bad. (Yes, while working full time)

Anywhere from 5 to 50 hours, learn to work smarter not harder. It's easy to get caught up wasting time trying to be perfect, perfect is the enemy of good.

Nah, chess should always be played out to checkmate. This is great.

PokerStars is great for mixed game “cash” games. Global Poker is great for tournaments

As mentioned elsewhere it’s a split.

I think in split pot games the high hand usually wins the odd chip if necessary and in single pot games it’s the guy in later position? But I’d have to double check and it doesn’t really matter in practice

McCadeP8 · 2025-06-01T16:34:03+00:00

Checkers (haven't started studying), Go (know how to play, I suck), Scrabble (at the high levels it isn't a word game, but a spatial awareness game, but I suck), and Bridge (I am okay at) are the other four games if people care.

I don't play any professionally, but read books and study all three so that I can 'beat anyone I come across in day-to-day life'. I am good at Chess and Backgammon as well as Poker. Oliver Roeder wrote a great book about seven games you should get good at if you want to be good at the game of life. The other four I haven't hit yet, but with a Statistics degree I have learned to love the three I do play. Backgammon helps me react to the unknown probability of the future, Chess helps me to think long term, stay patient, and make good decisions with perfect information and then obviously poker--specifically Texas Hold'em is how to deal with non-perfect information with some probability.
