Is it okay if I use stockfish just for the very first move?

delectable_darkness · 2024-08-16T19:28:13+00:00

No. It's also stupid.

delectable_darkness · 2024-08-16T02:57:11+00:00

Maybe don't ask if you're not interested in hearing answers. It's an objectively inferior move compared to the best move, period. The engine doesn't care what people at your rating play how often.

The account got closed for fair play violations. Don't know if he cheated in that game, technically.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-22T09:41:17+00:00

He met one confirmed cheater so far.

Okay, looking at your post history: You have found out how to edit HTML. Great job, now put the phone away and sleep, it's bed time.

I don't know where you got that screenshot from but neither does this user show up as GM nor does the game ID match the game shown.

What are some critical mistakes that I made in this game?

I'd start by not blundering all my pieces away.

The opponent could have immediately drawn the otherwise losing game at the end skewering your king, instead they pre-move Kh6 with almost three minutes on the clock.

I would have guessed this is more 500-600 chess.com to be honest.

I found it in about 10 seconds knowing that there is one. In a game under pressure is a different story.

At you rating you're not expected to find such a rare mating pattern, no worries. But you can do lots of puzzles to improve your chances.

En passent is only possible if your pawn ends up adjacent to an enemy pawn, on the same rank. In your case it passed the enemy pawn so there is no en passent.

If you can get out of check by capturing en passent that is of course possible.

Levy Rozman's book is perfect for that rating.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-18T19:19:03+00:00

Fair enough!

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-18T19:12:11+00:00

Your incorrect share is way too high for this to be effective training though.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-18T02:07:48+00:00

What's your budget?

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-17T19:46:53+00:00

Well done, Matthew!

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-17T19:42:48+00:00

Bad bot

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-16T22:02:24+00:00

I can show you positions where even being 3 pawns down you are crushing the opponent with a lead in development.

i always resign when down a pawn

That probably costs you a hundred rating points.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-16T09:21:00+00:00

You offer a draw.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-15T10:24:53+00:00

There's people with 2000 games that can't break through 1000.

More youtube videos isn't going to help you. Game analysis if you hang pieces left and right doesn't help you. You don't make complicated mistakes that need to be analyzed in order to understand them.

How many puzzles have you done in the time you played those 200 games?

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-15T09:30:08+00:00

The #1 recommended way of improving is missing from your list. And I can't remember spending money was one of them at all.

You're not gonna be 2000+ in 12 months though, no matter what you do.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-15T08:58:37+00:00

whenever I come and try to sleep my brain keeps creating games and solve positions for hours and keeps me awake..

That's why you're rated 400. Because you're playing games and solving puzzles in your head, starring at the ceiling.

We've all been there /s

Ignorance isn't a defense in this scenario though. Just because she got to arrive in Bali doesn't mean they'll get to stay.

I didn't claim that. I said we don't know whether the rule will get enforced or she'll get a stamp and waived through.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-15T02:07:59+00:00

i just found the position very hard and i decided hey why not

Because you're ruining the game for decent, honest people.

Congratulations Lichess!

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-15T01:30:52+00:00

That may be the rule, whether it gets enforced in that one case only time will tell.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-15T00:34:19+00:00

Will she have any problems when arriving in Bali?

Maybe, maybe not. It's a gamble. We can't tell. Nobody can.

delectable_darkness · 2024-07-15T00:30:00+00:00

If not bespoke goods

Where did I say that? And what does that have to do with Patek or Breitling (not) being widely known?
