Salt Fish posted:Just to be clear, if you were wrongfully identified as a cheater, you would not submit a written confession to chess.com that you cheated. So even in the hypothetical, this isn't adding up to the original claim. I mean, if I was falsely hit, I’d probably just confess to get unbanned. Probably way faster/easier than getting them to admit they hosed up.

I can play any other online games, board games, video games, anything... maybe a little toxic at Rocket League but that's about as bad as I get. I find that playing longer, more thought out games helps a lot. Fast blitz games just make the tilt spiral so much faster and more easily

Hans heard people saying Magnus handled the situation in the dumbest way possible, and he took that as a challenge.

Salt Fish posted:Whats the followup after Kh3? You’ve got two rooks and a pawn for the queen, and the king is now stuck in a corner, with ng4 threatening mate. I think white is looking pretty dire even if they can hold onto the queen there.

It’s probably the same garbage methodology they use to give percentage chances teams win in other sports; they fed it into an ML model that is basically a random number generator at this point and plastered it everywhere without putting any thought into it.

White opens with the Ruy Lopez and a lovely ceviche appetizer, and black responds with the Berlin and a flavorful lobster bisque.

If you’re going to learn anything about openings, learn to counter the Scholar’s Mate. It’s satisfying as hell to see some idiot go for it, and then effortlessly deal with it. Made even better by the fact that most people who play the Scholar’s Mate collapse immediately when it doesn’t work.

It looks like the c3 pawn just isn't very valuable, and white's king getting active is very valuable, so white can just abandon the former in the name of the latter.

I actually find the old notation way easier to follow. I also already mentally think of spaces like e5 as "black's e4," though, so I might just Intuit these things kinda weirdly.

C2 is then met with ng1, and they can't promote because stalemate, giving you time to play ne2 and guard the promotion square.

I mean, the best move is very difficult to find, but I guess it's a pretty basic puzzle from the perspective that even if you just go "my queen is attacked, I should move it" you still end up with a winning position. That still doesn't make it a good puzzle, though...
