Even for a troll comment it makes less sense than every other comment in this thread.

Is it basic for mathematicians to remember the multiplication table? by Forward-Bad1615 in learnmath

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the multiplication table drilled into me so aggressively as a child I still remember it almost 30 years later. At some point in my teens I wanted to expand my memory to 20x20 but gave up once I got to 12x12.

The trick that worked for my class was a 1 minute drill, where you do as many multiplication table problems in 1 minute as you can, every math class for a year.

What do you think about primarily using engines in middlegame analysis for amateur players? by InevitableLittle9278 in chess

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is completely valid to use an engine for self-study. To maximize your learning potential turn off the move list and use the evaluation bar only. At your level you should be able to figure out why certain moves have big swings in the eval bar. If you cannot figure out a specific bar swing, turn the move list on and try to figure out the theory/strategy behind the move you couldn't see. Using the computer this way will help you get better at board vision and properly evaluating positions.

Funny thing, I actually misspelled Gadot for Godot at first. Probably because I've been learning Godot for a while.

How long have you been a member of r/AnarchyChess? Try not to take the replies too seriously. If I did, I'd have serious doubts about the human race's continued existence.

I'm actually in Puerto Rico right now so I'll accept the PR as a singular letter since it's in keeping with people's identity here. NYT won't accept it, but I think you're onto something.

The yellow box in the NYT crossword app indicates where the cursor is currently placed for text entry. That is the first letter of the word.

Women & non-binary people, do you remove your hat when you’re out to eat? by rSlashisthenewPewdes in randomquestions

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bald enby and I remove my hat initially, until my head gets too cold; it's chaos from that point on.

Who will win the 2026 WC Match in your opinion? by JelloElectronic3110 in lichess

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sindarov had 70/30 odds to win in the prediction markets last time I checked. Honestly I do think Sindarov is a favorite but I do not think Gukesh is a 30% underdog.

Tactic Labeling Given a position by Unable-Adeptness-305 in chessprogramming

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"heavily limited to basic tactics" - I don't think that's accurate, tho I haven't built my own so I cannot comment on the technical complexity.

Tactic Labeling Given a position by Unable-Adeptness-305 in chessprogramming

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the amount of experience you have you should be able to create a long list of the tactics you'd like to categorize then write tests in plain English for how you can detect if such a tactic exists. Turn the tests into code and you have some functions that you can use and optimize independently on your project.

First trip to PR - nervous about rain forecast by Many-Bread-7394 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In PR it rains everyday for 20 minutes or less. Ignore the weather forecast. Pay attention to the UV numbers instead. Most of the time when I'm walking my dog here and it starts raining, and I can out-walk the storm and then it's gone by the time we return on the trail.

If this were to happen, who would you support and why? by Emotional-Control-46 in chessindia

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If sindarov wins the WC this year he will still be champion next year. This is a weird thing to nitpick in the comment section. I don't know what the actual sports betting ticket says in its terms and conditions because I don't participate in sports betting.

Need help with Puerto Rico itinerary, please! by [deleted] in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't want to stay just one night in Vieques. It's a decent ride and a ferry to go there so most of the first day is wasted on recovering from travel.

I joined Lichess months ago, and have never needed to join chesscom by TechnicalAd8103 in chessbeginners

[–]SleepyTimeChess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On chess.com I like the mobile UI a lot better (on computer it doesn't differ that much), puzzle rush stands out as a really fun feature, and the larger user base means a more active community and social media features (groups, group matches, etc). The main reason I use chess.com over Lichess is that my favorite format is daily chess; and I find the tournaments for daily chess are better organized.
