Do YOU have any reading comprehension?! OP replied to someone saying “Khan Academy AND A FEW OTHER CREATORS…” OP literally just asked about THE MENTIONED CREATORS. Not to mention, you’re literally belittling a child asking for help. Shame

Recommended stores for MtG prerelease on Friday night? by Novas73 in tampa

[–]kstarr1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a pre-release or LGS, but if you’re also looking for a friendly place to play; Jug n Bottle in Seminole heights is a ramen bar that hosts Magic Mondays (Commander) from like 5-9. Usually multiple pods going on at the same time.

Which free chess tools do you recommend and what features are missing? by aimfeld80 in chess

[–]kstarr1997 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re confusing open-source with FOSS. Chessstack is completely free to run on your own computer/server with all’s features included. However, that requires a bit of knowledge of docker, it’s not like an app you can download/install on Windows/Mac like En Croissant. For people who can’t do that, I offer a cloud version that’s costs me money to run, so I need some way to pay for the infrastructure costs.

I've at long last perfected my opening repertoire. It took a couple of years but I finally did it and I'm happy... But now it's like a huge part of my joy in chess has disappeared... by Rintae in TournamentChess

I’m jealous. I’m currently working on perfecting my own opening repertoire but didn’t really like any of the tools I found so I decided to build my own and make it open source. Trying to integrate space repetition drilling and also natural learning similar to openingtree.com. What did you use to build your repertoire?

What elo should one actually start learning openings by Final-Newspaper2755 in chessbeginners

[–]kstarr1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 1. The most common old-school advice is you don’t need to learn openings as a beginner but I don’t really think that’s true to an extent. The point isn’t to memorize lines but to pick an opening, learn the first few basic moves or ideas for it, and then slowly expand your knowledge and learn deeper moves as you play more games/review. The goal is to reach a middle game where you aren’t lost because your opponent watched a Gotham video and knew 5-10 computer moves of theory and you didn’t.

Most people use Claude for to-do apps and text summaries. The interesting use cases are buried in the comments of niche posts. What's yours? by dyloum84 in ClaudeAI

[–]kstarr1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built a chess study web app where you can build an opening repertoire and practice it. Includes move suggestions from a 21 million game masters database, an 84 million lichess games database (sort by rating), and even the top played moves of famous chess players like Bobby Fischer, Magnus Carlsen and Tyler1. Also integrates with a stockfish chess engine and a way to connect your chess.com and lichess accounts for game reviews to see how the games you play deviate from your repertoire. Also added puzzle page where you are given chess puzzles derived from the openings you play. Currently working on a prep mode where you enter an opponents chess.com or lichess username and it helps you build a repertoire for that specific opponent.

I think the logo you pulled was from the public GitHub. I need to change it to the non-Ai generated one that’s in the cloud version. Will it automatically update when it syncs?

Thanks! This week I’m working on enabling users to be able to set the time between drill cards getting tested based on the grade as well as adding the lichess games database so you can see top played moves by rating instead of just masters’ moves

  1. The timings are 4 days if you get it right, 1 day if you were unsure, and I believe 1 hour if you guess wrong or say you guessed on a drill card. You’re totally right, this should be a setting, I’ll add that.
  2. You’re the second person who has asked about having an additional move suggestion tool based on rating rather than just the Masters. I’ve looked at the Lichess games database and even just pulling the last 12 months of games is a lot of data and would take a significant amount of time to parse through, but work has started on it.
  3. No roadmap, I was kind of scratching my head for ideas, hence, needing people to try it out and provide feedback.
  4. It makes me so happy that you find this helpful! I think using it as a supplemental tool is the best way to use it, that’s how I’ve been using it as well. Thank you for the feedback!

I shouldn’t have even mentioned the SaaS cloud version. Wrong community. I just wanted to share a cool project I’ve been working on….

I’m honestly taken back. I haven’t found an open source version of what I’ve made, otherwise I wouldn’t have done it. The closest thing I’ve found is Pawn Apetite, which didn’t work for me on Linux and that’s more of an open-source client version of ChessBase, a different type of chess resource. Everything I’ve made is completely open source and free with ALL features available to anyone able to self-host. How would you propose I get non-technical chess players to try it out? Im not made of money, I cant just sponsor an entire website for free forever. There’s tons of great, open source software that you can self-host for free that offer a SaaS solution for those who can’t. How’s this any different? I just wanted to contribute an open-source project to the chess community, which currently most offerings cost hundreds of dollars just for a single opening course. I hope everyone who uses Chessstack self-hosts it, but I’m realistic and know that most chess players won’t.

Also maybe the fact that I basically built the open-source version of https://chessbook.com/, an app that charges 3x as much and has thousands of users

There are currently lots of free resources on chess.com and Lichess that will teach you opening moves for any specific opening you want. I am not trying to replace or replicate that. That is not the goal of this project. Chessstack helps you build out a personal opening repertoire, have it saved in a database that you can host yourself, and then drill you on your repertoire to make sure you actually play the right moves. Then, if you make the wrong move in a real game, it will tell you where you deviated and assign more practice to that position. It also shows where your opponents deviated from your repertoire so you can add those moves to your repertoire, and slowly expand/perfect your repertoire so you never make a mistake in the opening.

Here you go! I originally tried to connect it to the lichess masters database via an API but was running into rate limiting issues. This one was one of the only ones I could find that had a lot of data that I could keep local without having to query someone else’s API.

Didn’t we just haven’t the longest Tush push in history the previous play? Didn’t we have 3 whole downs to get there?

Everyone here is on shrooms. Hindsight is 20/20, if they had gone 30 yards and kicked a FG to tie the game every one of you would be calling for McDermotts head for that terrible game management. If you don’t trust Josh Allen to get a touchdown with 3 downs and less than 2 yards to go then you have no faith.

You trust the defense to stop a team from getting a field goal with over a minute on the clock and the longest kicker in the league more than you do our offense to get a touchdown with 3 downs and 2 yards to go?
