the good thing about bullet is how weird the positions are the bad part is all the timeouts and that it makes you worse at chess

I enjoy the flexibility and laissez faire that comes with playing lower level opponents. Moon shot strategies suddenly become possible

I'd be interested to see how black's king has ended up on g5 when white's queen, queen's rook and king's cleric are all on their starting squares and the king's rook has apparently just moved for the first time

pretty funny reviewing bullet games and seeing obvious missed tactics on every move
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 July 2022 14:30 (one year ago) link
im still 300+ points worse on bullet than blitz not sure im ever really gonna get it but its pretty fun to play a million games and just never think

Sadly the report doesn't say whether the robot was losing, or not:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62286017
"A robot broke a seven-year-old boy's finger during a chess match in Moscow last week, Russian news outlets report.
"The robot broke the child's finger," Sergey Lazarev, Moscow Chess Federation President, told Tass news agency. "This is of course bad.""

what does sam sloan think of the magnus/hans drama
― Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 19 September 2022 18:35 (one year ago) link
magnus just does not want anything to do with the lad
Magnus Carlsen turned his webcam on, made one move, resigned, then turned his camera off and disappeared. He did not say anything. https://t.co/WPsUsktN8P— Motherboard (@motherboard) September 19, 2022

i don't blame him tbh
― Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 19 September 2022 22:57 (one year ago) link
yeah i tend to trust magnus on this, and a number of other top players seem to be suspicious of hans too, but its a pretty weird situation where magnus is just being extremely passive aggressive
― lag∞n, Monday, 19 September 2022 23:04 (one year ago) link
mb magnus is convinced that hans is cheating but doesnt have any hard proof
― lag∞n, Monday, 19 September 2022 23:05 (one year ago) link
he admitted to cheating. twice. in tournaments. and chess.com implied it was worse than that! it's insane he's even invited to these tournaments.
― Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 19 September 2022 23:15 (one year ago) link
getting caught cheating online doesnt seem to be that big of a deal in the chess world for whatever reason, theres other players whove cheated online but still get invited to live tourneys, tho i dont think theres anyone at the absolute top level, part of it i think is theres no formal admin relationship between the sites and fide
― lag∞n, Monday, 19 September 2022 23:24 (one year ago) link
another thing that complicates it is those cheating instances were when he was a child
― lag∞n, Monday, 19 September 2022 23:27 (one year ago) link
COVID changed everything because tournaments went online. He wasn’t cheating in marches to boost his Elo, he was cheating in tournaments and accepting cash prizes. This also wasn’t when he was much younger. The last incident happened at the beginning of COVID.
― Allen (etaeoe), Tuesday, 20 September 2022 01:10 (one year ago) link
yeah he was 16 at the beginning of covid, and fwiw hes been rolling since tourneys have gone live again, so if hes not cheating over the board then hes prob not cheating online either hes just that good
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 20 September 2022 01:14 (one year ago) link
i mean he beat magnus, his first classical loss in like two years
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 20 September 2022 01:30 (one year ago) link
I like to imagine Magnus is just salty as can be and is claiming foul to protect his ego. I say this in admiration to Magnus because Lord knows I would do the same in his position.
Seriously tho, Kinda messed up to let cheaters in. Don't care if it was when you were a kid or whatever. Bans need to be made public and enforced. Magnus is able to do what he is doing (and imo is justified) because FIDE and Chess.com are giving too much leeway and not being transparent with their response to cheating (speaking of the past). Hope this fixes things and we get some public stoning's in the future.no formal relationship between sites/FIDE really does mess with this. Team Magnus lets gooooooooooo

seems like magnus thinks this dlugy guy is in on the scheme
"Unfortunately I cannot particularly speak on that but people can draw their own conclusion & they certainly have. I have to say I am very impressed by Niemann's play & I think his mentor Maxim Dlugy must have been doing a great job"

Is Magnus mainly mad that someone in his team leaked his opening prep? it seems too implausable that someone would be able to engine cheat during an on the board classical game.
― cajunsunday, Wednesday, 21 September 2022 21:36 (one year ago) link
you could do it, some of the things people have done to cheat at gambling are unbelievable, chess would be relatively easy
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 21 September 2022 21:53 (one year ago) link
one interesting thing i read is magnus before this whole thing was speculating about cheating and said that hed only need to have two or three moves a game given to him to be totally unbeatable
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 21 September 2022 21:55 (one year ago) link
and people have done engine cheating over the board before fwiw tho not at as a high profile a tourney as sinquefield

its anal beads
― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Wednesday, 21 September 2022 21:59 (one year ago) link
you dont even need to get the moves from the anal beads just having them in there is an advantage

Oh I guess Dlugy is a known cheater huh.
Maxim Dlugy is an infamous New York based GM and coach, who has been accused of cheating online. He took some credit for Niemann's success when he made world's top 50, calling him his student.— Tarjei J. Svensen (@TarjeiJS) September 21, 2022

Shirov recently suggested he was suspicious of Hans cheating during an OTB Tournament in 2020. This game—almost every move is Stockfish #1— was played by Niemann during that tournament (via: The Zugzwang Blog) pic.twitter.com/kkeopYe6XD— Bed Bath & Beyond (@pabloroblesgast) September 21, 2022
