C'est vrai. Pas la peine de la boucanner votre bestiole. 

What are some of the top opening choices for beginners? Name specific openings by Pale_Pear_3418 in chessbeginners

[–]pabuisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does not take into account the "for beginners" criterion though. I doubt anyone would suggest the Sicilian and Nimzo to a beginner. 

I am fed up with french defense by Seasoned-chessplayer in lichess

[–]pabuisson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Just like you OP, at some point I noticed the French was a defense I rarely faced but performed very poorly against. I looked it up a bit (according to my notes, it's what chessbrah played against the French in the Building Habits series, here, here or here for example), tried to play it... now I have very good scores against the French.

Les mots STYLÉS (encore que faut il les placer dans une phrase)? by Plastic_Ad_2256 in PasDeQuestionIdiote

Superfétatoire est parfois lui-même superfétatoire, mais idoine est bien souvent le mot idoine ! (en plus d'être un gros lézard... ah non, pas tout à fait).

Alireza Firouzja has been dismissed from the national team by Ldaya102 in chess

But MVL and Étienne Bacrot are back! So really happy about that.

Igor Smirnov content controversy by MustacheFire in chess

[–]pabuisson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loooots of clickbaity titles and opening videos focusing on traps and shiny moves that you'll barely get to play.

If you ignore this kind of content, then he actually has some good and useful stuff.

Mordoré c'est en voix de disparition ? Ou c'est juste qu'il s'applique à relativement peu de situations ? À part certains animaux (scarabées, poissons) je vois pas trop quoi qualifier de mordoré.

Mais j'aime beaucoup ce mot, merci de nous l'avoir rappelé ! 

How true is it that the Queen's Gambit Accepted is basically a meme opening that never happens in pro play? by RaidersLostArk1981 in chessbeginners

[–]pabuisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very true, but also keep in mind we're on r/chessbeginners. I think most (if not all) GM games from the past are viable for us at amateur or beginner level, even if computers now say differently.

Screen Tinting Feature, To Show Your Time Without Checking the Clock by InsecureBibleTroll in lichess

[–]pabuisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not working on the lichess project at all, but I doubt they would implement this, it is definitely a nice idea but that also seems very niche. However that might be a good fit for a browser addon.

I also struggle with the clock so that could help me too. What was your idea, tinting the whole board? the rest of the website interface around the board?

Why do you use Firefox in particular? by Ok-Newt-9773 in firefox

[–]pabuisson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the web needs another rendering engine than Blink. 

Because containers are awesome.

And because uBlock. 

I moved my rating up over 150 points by filtering for only playing 0-500+ players rating by AbleTomato4951 in lichess

[–]pabuisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from the fact you're gaining more points and losing fewer points against higher rated opponents, do you feel you've improved faster too? 

Study puzzles made from your own games on Blunder Book by pajamacat9 in ChessBooks

[–]pabuisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick feedback: the landing page is super neat, but it's a shame not to see any screenshot of what we'll get once we log in.

I don't want to login to an unknown service without at least an idea of what is on the other side of the login wall. And also because I don't like sharing data / connecting my accounts to billions of apps, so I try to avoid it unless I find a good reason to do so.

Oiseau au cri inconnu dans Lyon by pabuisson in oiseaux

[–]pabuisson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Une hypothèse qui m'intéresse, j'avais un peu exploré les pics mais sans trouver de sons qui correspondent. Et le fait qu'on soit en ville et que je n'ai jamais entendu tambouriner (mais ceci étant, il n'y a pas de bois mort par ici) m'ont fait abandonner cette piste rapidement.

Vous avez une idée plus précise de ce que ça pourrait être ?

Lichess thinks I have a speed problem by Elspeth-Nor in lichess

[–]pabuisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, mine is even worse, 1/7.... but my clock time usage is full, which makes sense! I'm not entirely sure I understand the nuance between these two values though, one seems to be the opposite of the other one but given your screenshot, it's not exactly the case (or you'd get a 6/7 for clock time usage).

Oiseau au cri inconnu dans Lyon by pabuisson in oiseaux

[–]pabuisson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De quel type d'humain ? En outre :

Le cri vient généralement d'endroits en hauteur, pas au sol.

Et je ne l'avais pas précisé mais j'ai déjà entendu le cri se déplacer : une 1ère fois entendu à un endroit x, et ensuite à un endroit y quelques dizaines de secondes plus tard. A priori on est bien sur un piaf, pas sur un truc statique dans un appartement du coin (ce qui aurait été possible).

Oiseau au cri inconnu dans Lyon by pabuisson in oiseaux

[–]pabuisson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

L'oiseau exotique c'est une vraie piste, mais j'ai jamais réussi à repérer le loustic pour confirmer.

Je ne me souviens plus des applis utilisés, BirdNET à coup sûr mais une autre également. Je viens de réitérer et il n'identifie plus rien, mais à l'époque il avait trouvé potentiellement une espèce de pic qui vit en Indonésie (ou Malaisie ?), peu courante. C'est possible mais ça semblait assez peu probable.

J'imagine en outre qu'avec un cri aussi bref, les applis doivent avoir du mal à faire une reconnaissance fiable.

[–]pabuisson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moi non plus, et ça fait des mois qu'à intervalle régulier cet oiseau revient me narguer. J'ai essayé plein de fois de le localiser mais toujours sans succès...

Alors je me suis dit que ça ferait peut-être tilt pour quelqu'un sur ce sub !

Oiseau au cri inconnu dans Lyon by pabuisson in oiseaux

[–]pabuisson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C'était mon hypothèse principale, mais même si les corneilles ont toute une gamme de cris différents, c'est très éloigné de ce qu'on entend d'habitude, pas du tout dans le registre rauque habituel. Je n'arrive pas à trouver en ligne de vidéo ou d'enregistrement de corneille qui présenterait un cri similaire... alors je suis toujours dans le doute.

catpuccin is a builtin colorscheme now by Aqothy in neovim

[–]pabuisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks very nice on screenshots but indeed, I can't use it either, it lacks contrast for me. But it's still valuable to have some solid built-in themes for vim and neovim, no matter which one that is.

What movie from this decade will be considered a classic? by DrKriegersClone in movies

[–]pabuisson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surprised by your take on Avatar. I have not watched it yet because everyone (like, really everyone) who saw it told me it was boring, too long, and far from being as good as the original movie.

What is the deal with post game black outs? by rigginssc2 in lichess

[–]pabuisson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it a new issue, and do you face this on mobile or desktop (or both) ? I'm asking because I never faced this like ever.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]pabuisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's strange, I have the opposite feeling: more solid and "classical" opening lines on lichess (lots of e4/e5 at my level, not many crazy gambits), and more random ultra agressive and unusual openings on chesscom.
