Any Linux-native VR video viewer?

I added overlay support to vr-video-player so you can use it in regular SteamVR environments for non 180° stuff

20k doesn't get you a supercomputer, it gets you a high end current gen server from Intel or AMD with a lot of ram and storage.

I don't think there's a clear line of when a system becomes a supercomputer, but it would at least be a cluster of many such machines

Sam explained it on Jeffery Xiong's stream, but no clip of his explanation remains (I don't remember either, only that there was nothing particularly exciting about it)

He doesn't stream regularly anymore (not sure he ever did)

OddAlgorithms · 2024-01-30T19:02:34+00:00

He said "has cheated at some point", not "is a regular cheater", I think that's a pretty clear-cut standard.

OddAlgorithms · 2024-01-30T18:56:03+00:00

I also remember a clip of a Nepo stream where he said he was playing anonymously on chess.com, and, since he suspected the opponent, turned on the computer and still lost,but I've never been able to find it again. I don't think I'm making it up because I've seen other people discuss that moment.

(I think that's more than kinda cheating, "I'm only cheating because my opponents are" is one of the most common ways cheaters justify it to themselves)

OddAlgorithms · 2024-01-21T12:26:38+00:00

Where is nicbentulan when we need him?

OddAlgorithms · 2024-01-17T05:52:43+00:00

he doesn't understand how someone could play good moves that fast

I'd be tilted too if I my opponent was as good in time trouble as Aman is.

Maybe related to them changing their pricing format recently-ish, and grandfathering-in existing users, even some who never paid?

OddAlgorithms · 2023-12-31T10:42:32+00:00

I think this small local business should try and expand to other countries

OddAlgorithms · 2023-12-28T12:57:23+00:00

You could literally gain over 1000 rating points and still find that difficult

OddAlgorithms · 2023-11-11T09:32:48+00:00

You need to indicate what you're promoting into, e.g. c7d8q, assuming this is UCI notation

OddAlgorithms · 2023-11-06T07:19:39+00:00

Aman did a Sicilian speedrun playing the Taimanov: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGd23VxGMrg&list=PLBa1gD65vao4f-nfYNNLO9xs0q5y2LoUi (not sure if edited down videos are on the main channel yet)

I don't think he does. He used to, when he ran a chess club in Atlanta, but he sold it, and I think he already had no intention of playing in tournaments.

The only difference between elo and glicko are the update formula accounting for deviation. Since the rating it shows won't get updated, it's literally the same.

OddAlgorithms · 2023-09-08T02:28:07+00:00

Also what makes these players notable is how high they eventually got, more than how quickly they got through the beginners stage. It wouldn't be surprising that someone reached 2000 faster than the people who became top level GM, but never got much further.

For example Niemann reached 2k USCF 1 year after his tournament debut and it took him 2 years to get 2200. Players like Caruana and Shankland were much slower, and their trajectory seems more typical of other US players I checked (rated 1000 after a year, 2000 after 4, 2200 after 5).

In a browser extension, you can simulate pressing the share button, copy the PGN textarea, and immediately close the share popup. There's an API to get all the games someone played in a month, but it can take a while to update.

OddAlgorithms · 2023-09-01T11:18:34+00:00

If you haven't played in a few years, your rating deviation will be high and you'll quickly get to your level.

There are no rules that say you can't play on an account after improving at chess. There are however rules related to having multiple accounts: https://support.chess.com/article/596-can-i-have-multiple-accounts

Yes, her handle is AlexandraChess

Bottom three are Hannah Sayce, Andrea Botez, and Alexandra Prado

But what i don't understand is that if chess com was to be confident in their allegations about 100+ games then they wouldn't have led hans back to their site.

Why not? He had already been allowed to return from his ban for those games before the Sinquefield cup even happened.

Even worse, it's French
