>>93216903I usually try the lines that I see during the live streams for big tournaments.
>>93214480check antiques / pawn shops for commie-era bakelite chess sets, many should still be in circulation
>>93216903Whatever is shilled on youtube this week, at least you are prepared against the noobs that religiously follow that shit.
They finally decided the place and dates for the World Championship. Singapore is UTC+8 so they'll probably play in the late afternoon there.

How prevalent is cheating online? I've been playing anonymous games and I'm just getting completely destroyed by strings of only moves in complex positions. It's just not fun.
>>93225995imho no more than 5%
>>93225995I can only speak for playing on Lichess. Three years ago, they would detect a cheater playing against me frequently. Now, magically out of 1240 games, they've only detected 3? Wow, all the cheaters quit! Magic. Also, magically now myself and most of the other players I look at from before the pandemic are also magically lower in rating. Makes one think. Still, what can you do? Where else are you going to play online? I think cheating is way more common that people realize. I think the kids are just smarter about how they do it. It's mostly kids cheating. They probably don't even realize they are cheating by looking up moves. In general, cheaters aren't known for their insight.
>>93227330>In general, cheaters aren't known for their insightCheating at internet chess is particularly pathetic. Normally even when you lose you can have a fun and insightful game; if you're letting a computer do the work idk what you get out of even a victory.
