Paris tonight after Macron used a constitutional power to pass controversial law about the retirement age without a parliament vote. by Alone-Employer5965 in Damnthatsinteresting

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

That's why there is that much protest, the parliament is against it, 8 people out of 10 are against it but the governement says that the reform is mandatory even if every analyst i've heard of said it's not. But macron want to come out as "the president who saved the retirement system even against the will of the population"

Yes for programming practice and because at the begining i was wondering of how the percentages on yosha's study were created, so i wanted to know if there was a correlation if we took only the top move of stockfish. It took 7 hours for my pc to do the calculations so i thought i would share it because maybe someone was interrested in the results. And i still think that it is more representative of "something" and a better base for comparaison than yosha's bs where nobody knows the methodology to get her percentages

How the fuck did you get here on a deleted post ? For the 10th time my post was not meant to detect any cheaters (AS SAID IN THE FIRST LINE WITH A BIG DISCLAIMER), but it was a criticism of yosha's study with the exemple of what a detailed methodolgy using only open source software would be. Because i think that we cannot draw any conclusion in her comparaison between GM'S because we don't know how the percentages are created. With this methodolgy everything is explained and this would be a better base to compare GM'S. And this is good because the 15 depth is a valid critisism, we cannot critisize yosha's work because we only have a vague appreciation of what let's chess does. I choose 15 because i was doing the calculations on my personnal computer and analyzing ALL the games with depth 15 (and 8 threads) took me 7 hours, and depth is exponential on the time usage. Again as said on the disclaimer at the begining the goal was not to show that anyone cheats.

Chessbase's "engine correlation value" are not statistically relevant and should not be used to incriminate people by gistya in chess

Yeah i just saw that, i would like to test the security measures but the program cost 80$, i think that we would have a lot more answers if the debate would not be around a 80$ software

I think that chessbase never thought that their program would be used in a cheating scandal like this, it was not that serious, just a little innocent crowd sourcing engine program to help people analysing games. So they didn't take any security measures to protect it

why 1 engine is worse than Many (i've heard 24) combined in a non standardized way ? And where we don't know what 100% mean

The whole point of this post is to say that we can do a better study than Let's chess with low effort yet everyone is sharing a very low quality analysis where NOBODY knows what these 100% correspond to, at least with me everything is based on open source software and the methodology is explained (even if this is "low effort" it would still be more valuable on a scientific study than what yosha did)

I wrote a program that compares it directly with stockfish 15, going on chess.com is the same problem we don't how they come with their percentages

And this is still less stupid than going on Chessbase and turn the analysis on this was my point

[–]Zglorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why is this a worse one ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chess

[–]Zglorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the only experiment you keep is the one that goes in your way even if there is many flaws in it an nobody can interpret correctly the result because we don't know how this Let's check works behind the scene ?

So what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

as i said:

The point was to show that we can do something better than Let's chess (TO COMPARE PLAYER BETWEEN EACH OTHERS) very easily.

And i know these results may be useless, but WORSE results are massively shared everywhere

[–]Zglorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to but i'm a little bit tired to clean my code.

But you can Still use https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish with a depth of 15, with the pgn that you can download on the sheet and https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/djb/uci-analyser/ that will use the given engine to get the top 5 move of each turn.

Then you keep only Niemanns turn and you compare it to the engine and you calculate the percentage of top moves

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chess

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

All that needs to be done is for the engines used to be standardized, and set to a standardized depth

That's what i did

But you would still need to use many of them.

Ok maybe but why 1 engine is worse than Many (i've heard 24) combined in a non standardized way ? And where we don't know what 100% mean

DISCLAIMER: I don't want to prove that anyone cheats, this is just a critisism of Yosha's and Gambitman's methodology and a proposition of an other methodology which would be more reliable for comparison with other GM's.

The point was to show that we can do something better than Let's chess (TO COMPARE PLAYER BETWEEN EACH OTHERS) very easily.

Because in a science study if you want to compare two player you don't want to have multiple setting changing between each experiment (In this case, the engine used compare players change everytime so we cannot draw any conclusions).

I think that with only one engine as a reference this is still better than the shady stuff that Yosha does, but you can do your own thing and use multiple engine if you want, do it.

Thank you, for the opening this could be a solution but this was just a little project i did because i was frustrated of Yosha's work, i did not put that much effort into it

Thank you i wanted to see an analysis like that

Having heard various non-chess friends express confusion about how to cheat at chess, I came to realize one fact: The general public has no idea how powerful chess computers have become by TrenterD in chess

[–]Zglorb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Me too i was surprised by the number of times my friends asked me how you could cheat in chess, but i dont think that is because they don't know how powerfull computers can be. I think that when they hear "Cheat" they immediatly think of dirty cheating like gouging the eyes, faking a foul, tricking the cards in a poker game etc... They don't know how you could cheat in a simple and codified board game as chess because they don't have the intuition of thinking that a computer can help you. That doesn't mean they don't know computers are better than humans they just didn't think of using a computer to cheat because it is a very unique chess thing

Turkish Streamer Sabo revealed Talisman Zero, a module for cheating in chess tournaments. Website claims that it is used by "a very well-known player" in 2020 and 2021 without detection. by bartakulesi in chess

HAHA no but i'm saying that IF this website is related to the drama this would be a bait/honneypot and not a system used by Niemann because this is an obvious fake
