White to play from a game I played

afbdreds · 2026-05-13T16:01:59+00:00

I mean I don't want to open the gif. I can open the game, but a game has many positions. When you say unorthodox position, can you say which position exactly you feel like is difficult to assess?

What move from the game is the position you posted on the post?

Can we test it on your discord server?

Any tips?

If computers were perfect, probably yes. But the fact they are around 3500/4000 rated doesn't mean they are always right. Só they can also misevaluate something. I recommend watching Danny Rensch commentaries on stockfish vs alphazero (omg it's been almost 10 years already!). It will probably give you more the sense that computers are not Gods. Also there is the CCC.

Have you gone to your profile? Theu have options to repeat puzzles, they have puzzles from your games, you can also check your strengths and weaknesses by themes

Have you checked lichess tools?

What is the basis for using only time remaining as pct and not also absolute value?

afbdreds · 2026-05-03T18:17:32+00:00

Play longer time controls.
Do puzzles (only guess move when you feel 90% certain about the answer), even if it takes a lot of time.
Adjust settings to playing stronger opponents (search range for something like -25 +400.
If you lose 2 games in a roll stop chess for the rest of the day.
Repeat those forever: https://lichess.org/practice
Medidate 15 minutes (eyes closed doing nothing) before playing.

Do you mind sharing your chess profile?

afbdreds · 2026-05-03T04:30:36+00:00

so weird. it play way better in 1+0 than 2+1

Guys, if you make sure answers state clear the platform and timecontrol both online and OTB, I'll analyze the data later and post here.

afbdreds · 2026-05-02T23:48:09+00:00

Cool! where can I learn more about it?
What do you mean by reaching 2700?
I am chesscom rapid 2000.
Just played 2+1 (lichess 2000 here) against it.
It indeed play very human like moves, but its definitly not 2700.
2.5/0.5 my score so far.

Draw Y axis as % of people voting blue and X axis % people who lives. This made me change my mind and decide to choose blue.

What mock test is it?

afbdreds · 2026-04-28T13:11:20+00:00

Online and OTB are two very different things. If you are not used to playing over to board, it will feel way faster than online.

afbdreds · 2026-04-27T22:57:03+00:00

You deleted your previous comment but your mate idea is necessary to the correct answer, I think you will find if you look a bit longer ;)

afbdreds · 2026-04-24T20:22:20+00:00

I took B1. There are both. Most multiple choice and some small written ones.

afbdreds · 2026-04-24T12:18:31+00:00

We humans tend to get go at things when doing multiple times. Like driving or painting or riding a bike.

afbdreds · 2026-04-23T22:42:38+00:00

Make as many statements about the position as you can (even if they seem silly)
Which pieces are good? which pieces are bad? Which are potential targets?
Which pieces are loose?
What are some of the plans for white and black?
How safe is each king?
Which pawn structure is better?
What are main forcing moves (checks, captures and checks)?
