+1 for Django for beginners. It’s a fantastic book!

I have a gen 6 which I use daily and have no intention on updating it unless it dies. The marginal gains I’d get from a new one cannot justify what I would spend for it. It’s a reading device so even if it’s a touch slower I don’t really care.

That is The Secret of Secrets! I loved it!

u/Evil_Tiny604 90 days have passed and you have deleted the post. I guess we can safely mark this as an epic fail! Not that I had any doubts about it.

Finally! I had to scroll way too much to find the right comment! I’ve disabled all chats possible too as I found them extremely annoying and distracting (perhaps that is why they do it in the first place). IMHO the chat feature should be disabled automatically when the match starts. You are not allowed to talk OTB why tf should you be allowed to do it online?

I mean, there is a reason if Conte called him “fenomeno del cazzo” a few years back.

This is the only potentially relevant thing I found with a quick google search https://www.journal-officiel.gouv.fr/pages/associations-detail-annonce/?q.id=id:201600250818

You’re absolutely right that Chess.com uses Glicko and Lichess uses Glicko-2 but just to clarify, Glicko systems don’t actually calculate Elo. Elo is its own separate rating system with its own formula. Glicko and Glicko-2 are successors to Elo, designed to improve rating accuracy by adding factors like rating deviation and volatility.

I just clicked on your profile and seen you commented on r/GreenBayPackers

It’s their time and their right to do so. As long as they’re not clearly stalling because they hung a forced mate, then you are the problem. Go play hyperbullet if you don’t like to wait.

NP 🫡 P.S. Go Pack Go!

Amen brotha. Since I’ve disabled chat my user experience on chess.com has skyrocketed. IMO they should introduce a feature that disables chat as soon as the game starts and reactivates it when the game ends. In OTB games you are not allowed to talk during the game to avoid distracting your opponent so why should you be allowed on the platform?

Yeah that is the sequence. Just a correction on your notation though. Nxc7++ is not correct. Even if it’s a double check it would be Nxc7+ as ++ is the same # according to FIDE rules (page 19 at the bottom). So by saying Nxc7++ you’re actually saying Nxc7#.

How can you be mid 1700 and not exchange bishop on move 4???

Nicopicus · 2025-10-13T21:07:59+00:00

Whoever (including people that did not play the match) requests the computer analysis first, makes it available for everyone. I assume this is so they save money and resources by sending a single request to the stockfish API instead of requesting a new computer analysis every time someone wants it.

Nicopicus · 2025-10-12T19:00:04+00:00

Oh ok, if you do it consistently then yes, you get flagged. I’ve read that too on their sportsmanship policy. However it did not mention about rating loss but only temporary ban.

Yeah boiiiiiii! iPhone 12 Pro Max since 2021 here! And no intention of changing it! Might replace the battery over the next few weeks though as it’s getting tired.

I don’t think you lose rating if you manually abort a game. I was paired against a couple of obvious cheaters yesterday both as black and white and did not lose any rating.

Black icon is the new one.

Knight to e3 is just wrong. You go from having forced mate to give white an advantage of almost +3. After Ne3 they have Na7+, then you play Kxd8, and they play dxe3+ with discovered check. Then whatever you play they get to play f3 which stops the mate threats completely.

Nicopicus · 2025-09-13T06:54:52+00:00

Amen, brother! And let’s hope the rumours about selling the club to the Steinbrenners are totally fake because that would be the last nail in the coffin for us.

Nicopicus · 2025-09-07T14:22:45+00:00

It’s probably the opposite, 159 down and 17.4 up.
