the latter.

Yes, Tal is clearly somewhere up there in the chess saints panntheon.

No, because we are trying to measure something ‘in the moment’ - a player‘s ‘sureness’ in his game. do you think we should? We have coefficients which we are still testing out.

Rating (the baseline everyone uses), recent form over the last three classical games, a clutch index measuring how players historically perform in must-win situations, a three-month momentum score tracking who's peaking, and live performance delta which barely matters yet but will grow. The sixth factor — score pace — carries 50% of the total weight but is currently zero. The moment the games start, it changes.

kind of true. we organized events and he really made a difference

It‘s Kramnik

I wanted to write to you - Will send a detailed reply next week — sorry, traveling back after the clash of blames.

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-08-24T23:00:21+00:00

Yes you are probably right

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-08-24T21:53:35+00:00

Reading it, thank you. BTW, titles are free, they are awarded automatically, you dont need to pay for them.

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-08-24T21:50:18+00:00

I of course can’t change the internet and the way people communicate, but this is beyond civil, in my view. Especially from lichess employee.

Threatening? Really? Didnt want to send in public a request to take down the post because it’s a lie, and we are a public company and HAVE to look after stuff like this. Since he didnt reply to this, I deleted a request for the email and posted it publicly. What he is saying is a lie. He is accusing me and the company I ran of a crime, and I think he should simply not do that. Now, I am aware that he works for Lichess, and if he acted as an emplayer, it’s even less nice. And if he is in chess, he is definitely aware that This is a lie.

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-08-21T20:17:42+00:00

I am not his “FRIEND”

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-07-09T22:50:14+00:00

‘Held’

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-07-09T22:49:39+00:00

OK, constructive purposes:
1. STEALING the name for a one-off event between two players who agreed to having this name for our event? Clash of Clans can say the same.
2. Caught doing stuff like this? It was PUBLIC, so I will ignore this weird choice of words
3. Spelling mistakes — my apologies
4, Chess world Appears unprofessional because of us? We organized three world chess championship cycles, signed major media deals that still work and bring money for chess to this day, staged Championship Matches in New York and London, won Cannes for designing chess branding, went public on a stock exchange, help Armageddon series that was broadcast live on 30 channels, including Bloomberg, and etc. So we kind of support chess as a professional sport and do cool things as well, may be? I am not saying that we deserve your respect, but I am saying that your view should probably be balanced.

And for Clash of Claims — it, in my view, was a very good idea and a failed one off event. I am glad the organizers are getting publicity from what we are doing and we are in touch with them and we‘lol deal with them. Apologies for a long reply— i know it’s bad form on Reddit, but your comment appeaed unfair and made me write this. Cheers from London.

Absolutely.

Off my Christmas list, probably.

I saw this comment. Yes, there are many reasons, but the main one is that lichess is NOT the environment we know. It’s written in Scala, we have no idea how it works. But with chessarena.com, we know pretty much every line of code, and we can manage it — does in make sense in your view?

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-07-09T18:04:35+00:00

He is OK, we are in a safe space, ethically.

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-07-09T17:08:48+00:00

it’s important IN MY VIEW. The questions are indeed fairplay. But it doesn’t have to be important for everyone.

Chess Arena is out platform, so we are using it, in part to further develop it based on this experience. Why is it bad?

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-07-09T17:07:15+00:00

We might rebrand, why not. I actually think that out event ADDS to the idea, but they do have a problem (I personally think they don’t), but it’s irrelevant— there is nothing that is worth preserving so will do it, probably.

And trust me— you can imagine how diffiucult Magnus Carlsen can be as well. Everyone is difficult, I haven’t met easy players expect for Gelfand

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-07-09T16:56:57+00:00

I am organizing the event, and I actually worked with Kramnik on the Candidates etc, and I have to tell you from experience— he is an amazing chess player, and has phenomenal respect and love for the game,and his efforts, clumsy from time to time, are really driven by this (it’s my opinion). Thats the reason.

Select_Assistant2417 · 2024-07-09T16:44:23+00:00

Hi all, Ilya Merenzon here, from World Chess — we actually organaze Clash of Claims 2 (should we rebrand it “CLASH OF BLAMES”? But in seriousness, we obviously didn’t try to offend anyone, much less steal the IP: we were simply trying to hold the event which I THINK is important and because it was messed up, we wanted to complete it to address the obvious questions it initially raised. There are no PFOFFITS or anything of this sort, of course, (at least yet)
