D34THROW posted:Okay, so question. Where does Chess.com get its puzzles from? It's quite visible that lichess gets them from direct games, but some of Chess.com's puzzles make no loving sense to me because they seem...impractical for real play. Pretty sure chess.com also uses computers to extract them from games. If you click analyze on a puzzle, I think it points you to the game where it came from.

I'm enrolled in a couple of long running daily tournaments on chess.com that I hate to abandon but it's not like I'm paying for membership at least. I guess it's time I started playing properly on lichess. Does it have a decent pool of daily/correspondence players and user-organised custom tournaments? Last I checked (which was years ago), lichess does not have a great correspondence pool. There's also no matchmaking, you see a list of seeks and you pick one. I emailed chess.com to opt out of their NFTs. Still haven't gotten back to me yet. If they don't, I have no qualms with deleting my account.

This is completely irrelevant to anything, but I remember a pro CS:GO player got VAC banned in the middle of a match. The thought of an arbiter stopping a chess game in progress and letting a player know that they've been banned for cheating gave me a light chuckle.

dupersaurus posted:Ignoring the drama side of the drama, it’s been interesting hearing the discourse about what cheating would look like. I would have never thought that something like the equivalent of someone walking by and tapping you on the There have been some elaborate methods: Wikipedia posted:In October 2010, Feller scored 6/9 (+5 =2 -2) during the 39th Chess Olympiad and won the Gold medal for best individual performance on board 5. However, the French Chess Federation accused Feller, along with French players GM Arnaud Hauchard and IM Cyril Marzolo, of cheating during the Olympiad. While Feller was in the playing hall, Marzolo was in France where he checked the best moves on the computer. Marzolo then allegedly sent the move in coded pairs of numbers by SMS to Hauchard. Once Hauchard had the suggested move, he would position himself in the hall behind one of the other players’ tables in a predefined coded system, where each table represented a move to play. The French Chess Federation claims, in all, 200 text messages were sent during the tournament. Apparently, the dude ended up going to prison for this

uPen posted:If he's cheating and there's no evidence that's on the tournament organizers. How much do these online/OTB chess tournaments spend on anti-cheating measures? Do they have experts from other cheating prone industries (casinos, pro sports erc.) audit their anti-cheating system? Like is it just chess people building these plans or is it people with actual expertise in security? My conspiracy theory is that FIDE (besides being cheap) don't want to look to closely into cheating because they're afraid of how exposing how many cheaters there are. Also, their buddies probably cheat too.

That's something that I haven't seen much discussion on. Did all of Hans' games where he scored well take place in open tournaments where he could just go to the bathroom and look at his phone? If not, did he have a device in his shoe that would buzz when someone signaled a critical position (the DlugyTron 9000)? Does he really have a goony goon accomplice that can actually stand being around him?

WSJ posted:The report says that while Carlsen’s actions at the Sinquefield Cup prompted them to reassess Niemann’s behavior, Carlsen “didn’t talk with, ask for, or directly influence Chess.com’s decisions at all.” This just does not help my view of chess.com being a scummy and bad web site. Why would Carlsen leaving cause them to "reassess"? Is the answer in the 70 page report that I'm not going to read?

World Champion just withdrew from a tournament (which is a very strong statement in and of itself) after playing a game against someone we know to have cheated on our website before, citing suspicion of cheating. You're getting your timelines mixed up. Hans was banned before Magnus made any statement or public comment about Hans' cheating, besides his "tee hee" tweet which was so vague that he could deny having made any accusation. The first time we learned of Hans' ban was in his interview after playing Dominguez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJZuT-_kij0 totalnewbie posted:Gee, I guess we'll just let a known cheater keep playing in our big tournament!

Sub Rosa posted:I mean I guess still an admitted cheater lied when coming clean when he said he never cheated in money events, so he has no credibility when he claims he never cheated OTB. I rewatched the interview and technically he said he never cheated in money tournaments outside of the one time when he was 12. I'm still having trouble imagining this goony dude being able to cheat OTB for years undetected or that he could even be disciplined enough to cheat only sparingly. But maybe he found a way or maybe security at these tournaments is really lax

What are the criteria to make it into Candidates? If Hans isn't banned from OTB, I'm just wondering whether he could somehow break in to Candidates if he only grinds Elo in lower level tournaments.
