i'd think it is 1 minute with 1 second increment per move.

I'm a worse player than you, but just following the best moves at each of the big eval jumps shows why they were bad. h3 means black, who hasn't castled yet, is free to push their h and g pawns, and then has a knight, queen, and rook ready to take advantage of your weakened kingside. Talking Re1 in lieu of another move means you don't give your bishop any escape squares and you're eventually forced to sac it too.

cheetah7071 posted:I feel like you could build a machine learning model that estimates how many centipawns the average player of a certain rating will lose over the next few turns. It wouldn't be too different from the bots that attempt to mimic human play, I don't think. How accurate they'd be is another question, though. D34THROW posted:The lichess bot seems to do a good job, right down to blundering its way into a loss like I do sometimes. You might be talking about these already, but Maia Bots are neural network-powered(!!!) bots designed to choose the same move a human player would at various levels (Maia1 = 1100, Maia5 = 1500, Maia9 = 1900) and are a good alternative imho to the standard lichess bots. I think they play in a fairly human fashion although with less variety and they are less prone than lichess bots to make massive, massive blunders which can feel like the bot is throwing the game.

I saw a thread once that says the 'cheat detected' triggers if the player has a lichess analysis board up in another window of their browser but it is not so sophisticated as to check they were mirroring the current game.

fisting by many posted:I was referring to the Sunday puzzle i think the point there is to find the best move in the position, not necessarily find the complete continuation. the moves are taken from a real game, so while, yes, black blunders mate, if white doesn't find the right second move the game reaches equality and then the continuation to mate (in the actual game black resigned after white's second move)

Ah, awesome to know this category exists. I always thought it was strange that lichess puzzles only ever have you on the eventually winning side but it must be just as helpful to spot a tactic that prevents losing. Also gently caress chess, I keep making the same mistakes in my games and have plateauer although my tactics score is ever increasing

John Bartholemew also has a 'Climbing the Rating Ladder' series and I think he instructs well. He has been described as having "strong youth pastor energy", which is spot on, but I like him and find the videos easy to watch. Similar to Naroditsky in my opinion, but from a slightly lower level.

Maybe sign up for aimchess's free monthly analysis? My opinion is paying for analysis at a level under... Not sure what exactly, maybe strong club player/~1800 chess.com rating? is not worth it because your weaknesses will be too numerous and basic things that don't require much analysis. Learn an opening you're comfortable with, check your king safety, look for hanging pieces, that kind of thing. Interested to hear what others think though. poonchasta posted:Is it worth it to upgrade to diamond...

i never ask for rematches and almost always reject rematches for purely psychological reasons. i know there's no reason to assume any particular motivation behind my opponent's request but i always assume the worst, picturing either some vengeful, bitter opponent or some smug gently caress confident of another win against me. it's just easier to dodge the pschological minefield i've laid for myself and take a fresh, random opponent.Redmark posted:I wonder how much psychology matters in classical chess because online it's gotta be a huge factor. I've found that if I beat a significantly higher rated player and they slam rematch immediately I should take it because it's likely to be easy wins for several games in a row (and free cheating accusations)

[edit] looking at the analysis is it right that black can 'just' be down the exchange if the c rook doesn't join in the defence? The game ended with 1.Rd7 Rb8 2.Rxf7 Rxf7 3.Rd3 Rbf8 4.Rd7 g6 5.Rxa7 Kg7 6.Rxf7 Rxf7 7.h4

Huxley posted:Hey! I beat someone before I sunk below 1k. Not an awful start. The sequence starting at 14...d5 with the pawn fork is sweet. Once youve been ranked to the right level, playing on chess.com or lichess is pretty satisfying, with equal share idiocy and brilliance (normally also idiocy but your opponent cant find the refutation). Good luck!

I know that the laws of chess dictate what goes up must come down, but in the last month I've increased my blitz (exclusively 5+3) rating on lichess from 1480 to 1630. Not sure what has changed, maybe opponents are more likely to be drunk as Christmas approaches, but I'm loving these heady heights. I suspect part of it has been playing more bullet (exclusively 2+1) and reducing the number of matches I lose on time. However, in both time controls I was stable at around 1450/950 and then just since the start of November I've gained ~200 points in each. Can a 200 point gain be put down to a lucky run of opponents? Have I unlocked the unused 90% of my brain and I'm on my way to becoming the next world champion? What's the deal?

You mean you could have just taken their queen? This is my kind of chess. It's amazing how often I fail to consider I can just take a piece and instead try to come up with plans to defend. I think this is true in a broader sense, I often get caught considering how to defend against my opponent's threats and neglect my own attack.
