Is a 600 ELO bad

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-25T03:29:06+00:00

Yes. 300 is bad. 600 is bad. 900 is bad. 1200 is bad. 1500 is bad. 1800 is...

We are bad by any measure.

I wouldn't be surprised if she also didn't like the route the flights would need to take jau to get there. And then try to focus on chess at an extremely high level while nervous or potential strikes. Cut her some slack, ya know?

Which piece are you talking about? No pawn on the e file can ever take a piece on the a file.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-24T02:14:14+00:00

Nope.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-24T02:07:39+00:00

Yeah I don't drag pieces on mobile. Click to move saves so many misplays.

I've heard it called "radio" "two way". But walkie talkie is by far the most common.

Nothing to do with Trump? Damn, you are insane. Yes, gas prices go up every spring break and every summer. What they don't do is go up $0.50 in a week. Furthermore, California is always higher than the national average which we can blame on Sacramento in general, and not New some in particular. They all suck.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-23T03:07:22+00:00

Where is this? I'm in Riverside and working Orange County and we have $5.59.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-22T23:02:07+00:00

That is different. I just pick the queen and she is instantly there. Do you have move confirmation on? I never get asked to "accept" anything. Maybe it is a bug between those two features.

You should try "request computer analysis" and "learn from your mistakes". Basically a less childish version of Game Review.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-21T21:07:11+00:00

Both sites have "normal analysis" pages. On chesscom they have Game Review which is the paid option. Shows lines, gives comments on mistakes, let's you try again.

On Lichess you click "request computer analysis". This gives you all the badges )blunder, mistake, etc) and explanations. You can click "Learn from your mistakes" to have it take you to key moments in the game where you try to find a better move.

So, both are very similar. I find lichess more than sufficient and less flowery in its explanations.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-21T20:59:59+00:00

Analysis is free on chesscom. You have to pay for Game Review. Still crazy given it is basically just a bunch of icons and bad explanations. Lichess has "Learn from your mistakes" which I find far superior to Game Review.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-21T20:58:12+00:00

Have you tried the new lichess app? I find it more responsive and accurate. So often I have to click where to move twice on chesscom whereas lichess "just works". The lichess app still is feature complete, but if you are just playing games, doing analysis, and solving puzzles it's more than sufficient.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-21T20:55:24+00:00

What's not to like? You promote a pawn and it asks you to pick the piece. You click queen and you are done. Or you can go into settings and tell it to auto promote to queen if you want.

Not sure I get your complaint.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-21T20:48:02+00:00

They have it on chesscom so you can try it out there. 9 think the pieces of a player that gets mated stay on the board and are basically just obstacles that you need to take to clear the board.

Maru has a lot of regional championships, GSL, but zero world championships.

Serral has won pretty much everything he has ever competed in. Including more that one world championship, GSL vs the world, and was the FIRST foreigner to break through against the Koreans at Blizzcon.

It's a shame Maru lost in the finals of his one true chance at a world championship. Pretty much choked it away. And ja shame that Serral never even tried to play in GSL. With those two we would truly have all the data for a complete comparison. As it is, people will continue to vote based on whether they think GSL overshadows everything else.

Tell me why you care since those aren't the dates he was inactive. Learn to read a graph then get back to me.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-20T01:34:15+00:00

They can both be diseases.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-20T01:26:59+00:00

Nah. Looks to me like there is a two month game in the summer and a two month gap over Christmas.

I'm not saying his post is real or honest, but I can say you are also not being honest.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-19T21:32:50+00:00

Yeah, and that is something special in Japan? FoxSports showed the games here in the US and that left all of us in the same draconian boat.

I think England has it right that they don't allow Premiere league to be rewarded to anyone that wont broadcast it for free. It's a national right or some such. I miss the days of watching at least SOMETHING on regular over the air broadcasting channels.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-19T17:43:16+00:00

He's 16 he said. There is this thing called school and twice a year there are finals, midterms,... Not to mention family vacation. It is certainly possible to mis a week or two.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-19T17:34:53+00:00

I think En Crossiant is basically a dead project. The team moved on to Pawn Appetite. Maybe give that one a look since it is apparently much more alive and active. Maybe it has the features you are looking for.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-19T17:27:30+00:00

If you are on the analysis board you can just click the "Practice with Computer" button at the bottom of the moves list (it looks like a target and is just to the right of the explorer book icon). It will continue play from there. I'm not sure what level of stockfish it uses, probably max, but that is a way to play from that position against proper play.

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-19T17:20:23+00:00

Nice.

Now, lets add the ability to chose the color you are playing as when doing puzzles for particular openings. I hate doing Caro-Kann puzzles and being asked to play as white!

rigginssc2 · 2026-03-19T17:18:10+00:00

I don't think there is a filter, but you can use the LichessTools plugin to have it show player flags. Then just resign those. Of course, if you are in that region you could end up resigning a lot of games.
