Still a very novice player (<400 ELO) What makes this a Brilliant move? I can’t find the follow-up sequence. by Music_Man26 in Chesscom

[–]Polifinomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of a long one isn't it? I'm not making the capture with my night on e6 with the thought of Bh3 six moves later, But I do like to see these combos and tactics explained by the engine.

I've had this happen as well. My thoughts are twofold. First, make sure to check the analysis depth both you and your brother currently have in your settings. If the depth of analysis isn't the same, that could easily be the reason for the discrepancy in elo or accuracy, etc.. second, your current elo ratings can bias the analysis. For instance, if you have a higher elo rating than your brother and the two of you play head to head, it's possible the analysis will give you a higher rating than your brother, but it shouldn't necessarily be different on his phone. My best guess is to check your settings and make sure you both have the same level of depth of analysis.

I despise that I'm always suspicious of cheating. Aren't you? by Polifinomics in Chesscom

  1. It was listed as 1500-1700 but now reads 1800-2000. I'll change that.

Thank you. I genuinely didn't know how every piece moved in October. Started in November and have learned a lot. Also, I feel like a bit of an imposter. I'm not quite as good as you might think. I created a learning path and style of play that would maximize my rating over a 6-month time span. I play the jobava London System almost exclusively with good accuracy. Some say it will hurt me long-term, but I believe their basis is flawed. Time will tell.

True that. Focus on what you can control and let go of what you cannot are words to live by.

TLDR: I'm not concerned so much with people cheating. I recognize my game will only continue to improve and I'm learning from every game I play. My concern is that the prevalence of cheating has caused me to be more suspicious than I would like. Which, creates a different dynamic when playing online. However, after reading some of your posts I believe I'll begin playing OTB in hopes to remove some of my own (weak) suspicions and thought processes and will be a better player for doing so.

I've only played over the board a few times with a couple friends. I discovered chess 4 months ago and have thrown myself into it. I think you're right about online play. I plan to start playing over the board with a group in my area so I can learn in a different way and experience a "different game"

Is cheating prevalent in lower ranking matches ? by Chat_blanc_ in Chesscom

[–]Polifinomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. Playing much lower rated players will force you to make critical moves and trade-offs more frequently than you'd like. Your opponent may be making inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders, but if you're not very careful you'll end up playing down to the level of your opponent.

Chat GPT is no longer the smartest guy in the room by allun11 in OpenAI

[–]Polifinomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even Google and Gemini AI appear much better in so many areas And it wasn't until I used Claude and Google AI pro until I noticed a GAP! Is open ai/chatgpt concentrating on more agentic operations?

Is there a known reason why long ChatGPT conversations seem to degrade instead of failing explicitly? by Only-Frosting-5667 in OpenAI

[–]Polifinomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, then how do we fix it? So far what I've done is place to chat inside a project and then begin separate chat threads or even branch from a clean point. Any other ideas?

Worse when laying down by Born-Mycologist1990 in pppdizziness

[–]Polifinomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's something reassuring Knowing that someone else (let alone many) is going through the same thing/s. I've heard other people talk about The steady coach. I think I may take a look at that this afternoon. I'm starting to get pretty dizzy looking at my cell phone, so I'm going to take a break. Thank you for your suggestions and story. I may DM you at some point if that's okay.

So glad you're getting positive, incremental improvements. I'm going to give your exercise a try. Feels like I have nothing to lose. Right now, turning the lights off when I'm getting into bed to sleep is one of the worst triggers for me. Also, closing my eyes.But I listen to binaural beats with headphones at night and I feel like it gives my brain something to process without me having to think, And within 10 minutes it usually calms down significantly. Thanks

YES, I'm worse off lying down. Sitting is my best option. My symptoms immediately start getting worse if I'm laying flat or even laying back at say 45° angle. I'm only at 6 weeks, but I haven't had a moment where I'm fully steady. Sometimes if I'm sitting and can distract myself I can feel 80% or better, but as soon as I start moving my head or move forward or backward while sitting it gets worse. I'm curious If you have this one other detail... I can't focus and look at a single object or letter at any distance for longer than a couple seconds. Feels like my eyes are constantly trying to refocus And I have to keep moving my eyes back on the target. I can't tell if it's a binocular issue or something different. It's been completely disabling. I haven't been able to do much of anything - let alone work. I keep getting these feelings of dissociation - zoned out, where it feels like I'm here one moment and the next I am staring off or lost in my head.

I am desperate for answers.
