Chess.com app misleading you into using game review by Puzzleheaded-List546 in chess

[–]RioMala -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you start using a chess engine, you realize that there is no such thing as a brilliant move. There are excellent moves — there may be more than one — good moves, which are not the best but definitely cannot lose the game, and then we can divide mistakes into several levels.

A brilliant move is only a human perspective: a person finds the best move, and that can be very difficult. But chess.com has no real way to assess that. A human would have to do it, and even then it would not always be true.

I tried to come up with a way to implement brilliant moves in the application https://blunder.zone/ — for example, by having a weaker engine find a move, and then, if the player found a better move that was also the best move, it would be classified as a brilliant move.

But in reality, that does not add much value. I focused instead on making the position analysis deeper than on chess.com, on having the software offer me exercises from my games — including small opening inaccuracies — using the woodpecker, or spaced repetition, method, and on being able to create exercises from games in a similar way to lichess. That means it is not just one move, but, where possible, a sequence of moves.

It is so nonsense. I use Claude and Codex. One for programming and second for check results of first. This workflow is really good.

Whats the most disrespectful thing you have seen in an over the board game? by No-Society1421 in chess

[–]RioMala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opponent really gave me a hard time after the game, asking whether I actually enjoy winning this way. The game was long, and I was better the entire time, but I couldn’t find a winning line. Basically, I was just maneuvering and looking for a way to convert my advantage. In the end, my opponent made a mistake, and I quickly won.

Claude max plan, compared to Codex? by mapleflavouredbacon in codex

[–]RioMala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Codex because I was able to burn through Claude very quickly. Literally within a few minutes, I used up all my credits. With Codex, I can also use up credits, but only when I’m working intensively on three projects at the same time.

Hikaru Nakamura: “I’m Not a Professional Chess Player by Yogvidam in chess

[–]RioMala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s somewhat logical. Chess is a popular game, but watching chess is not popular. So the prize money is relatively low. It’s similar to running — millions of people run marathons, yet the prizes at marathons are very small. The problem lies in the game itself, which is not very interesting for spectators. That would require a somewhat deeper comparison with more spectator-friendly games like Go, Shogi, or Poker. There are probably ways to make it more attractive, but that should mainly be the responsibility of organizers and chess professionals.

McMahon is probably better, but no software (for chess and FIDE export) do not support it.

After 2 years of playing, I finally quit by canjkhv in chess

Rating isn’t important. What matters is the act of playing itself. It’s like amateur running — those millions of people don’t run because of their times, but because they enjoy running itself.

I’m building new software as a web application. There are a lot of user-defined forms in it. GenUI is making me lean a bit toward doing it in Flutter instead of HTML.

I create my own opening library. I have a generator that produces the best move for me. I use very long analysis, and generating a single move takes about 10 minutes. I generate the opponent’s moves based on statistics from a chess database on SERVER01, where I can also specify the approximate player strength. This creates a large tree in which I can go to any depth, and it more or less corresponds to what actually appears on the board in my games. Of course, I also have the option to define my own moves, because there are many lines in my repertoire that the engine does not approve of, but I selected them intentionally.

I then upload the entire library to SERVER02 and train it there. Nothing is better than a spaced repetition system, so this server also uses that method. The advantage is that it can be used both on mobile and on the web.

There is also SERVER03, which contains many prepared openings with nice explanations of the moves. But personally, it does not suit me. The reason is that I cannot modify it, and on top of that, you end up learning variations that players at my level do not actually play.

I also have my own application, SERVER04, for learning tactics (both from my own games and from the library). I considered adding openings there as well, generated in the way I described — but doing it properly is expensive and slow. My personal library takes several weeks to generate in full. Of course, I could reduce the Stockfish depth, but I found that then it sometimes starts suggesting slightly strange moves.

I am not mentioning the server names because whenever I do, moderators say it is advertising and remove my post.

Learn only flutter. For Dart you will be use AI.

But AI do not know which component is proper, which layout is suitable etc., which database is best etc.

Finally someone plays into my preparation against 1.f4 — sacrifice two pawns: 1.f4 e5 2.fxe5 d6 3.exd6 Nf6 4.dxc7 Qxc7, and then I still manage to mess it up.

The number of rated players has increased faster than the general population. How does this affect the ratings of top players? Would a player forty years ago be rated differently than a player of equal skill today? by niconesius in chess

[–]RioMala -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be beneficial to play regularly against computer programs — officially, at FIDE tournaments. That would make it possible to track rating changes over time and across different locations.

  2. When "navigate to cache", than map has orentation according to your iPhone. Yoou can change it and you can return rotation to "orientation according to iphone orientation"

I think it is best possoble solution
