Can you do the knight and bishop mate?
>>93857472I did it against a bot when I studied it. Years later, against a human, I've hit the 50 moves limit.
>>93857401India changed the board order!? A bit risky. Hopefully it'll backfire.
>>93859578Some adjustments in others teams too: Mamedyarov on board 4, France has the young Maurizzi on board 3, Irina Krush on board 3 for the USA team in the women section.
Go to bed Magnus, you have the Olympiad tomorrow: https://www.chess.com/play/tournament/5072893

>>93861741>Mamedyarov on board 4LMAO he almost lost to an untitled player.The first round was more entertaining than expected, even if some top player was missing.

Lechess sometimes make me believe capitalism isn’t all that but then their app sucks and their servers suck and they hate fun (no profile pics or flags).
>>93879396AAHAHAH litards on sudoku watch!!!!! *sips latte* *pays $80 annual fee* *still gets nag screens to upgrade to platinum*
>>93880350Wait til your no fun allowed website is back online before you talk back.
>>93880612It's back now.>>93879396>>93880350I use both, for different things.
>>93882358I use it for crazyhouse and analysis boards. It’s just weird /chess/ is so devoted to a website that can’t even keep its servers running.

Anyone have experience with chess e-boards? Saw quite a lot of options when searching but wondering which ones have the best user experience when connecting to online games.
>chess.com : 1100 elo>lichess : 1600 eloWhat gives? I also get updates almost daily on chess.com that my rating is being adjusted because my opponent was cheating (when I see someone from India make a good move, I know I will have my rating adjusted next week)Is chess.com just that much more competitive?
>>93886263Different playerbases and different Glicko versions:https://chessgoals.com/rating-comparisonhttps://lichess.org/page/rating-systemsAlso, on the .com you can choose "beginner" when registering the account, which means that you'll drag down the others players' ratings when you go up to your actual level. Now repeat this a gazillion of times during the year and it'll became inevitable to mess up everything.
>>93886193Try ChessCam before spending money on eboards: https://www.chesscam.netdemo:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1lLVUhcbHw
>>93886868I tried this in the early days of it's development and it always had issues recognizing my board. I'll give it a go and see if it's gotten better.
>>93885090lmao he almost lost:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODQ0LOu2ojw
What are your personal beliefs regarding cheating percentages in online matches these days? I see ranges anywhere from 2% to 50%.
>>938897323% on the .comhalf of that on lichess

Titled Arena today! Warm-up starts in an hour.https://lichess.org/tournament/sep24bta
>>93886263Lichess inflates ratings.
>>93893292For me it’s still Alua
Just got this position in an unranked game as white.Opponent went b4 and immediately lost, but desu I have no idea what they should have done. In this position, what should black have moved instead? kd6? ask for a draw?
>>93897729Ask for a draw or wait for white to move pawns first. Incredibly enough, even if 2 pawns are free to advance it's still a draw.
>>93895903For me, it's Gergana.

>>93906267he's fine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Niemann
Fucking never surrender cunts ruining my games, next time I'm just gonna slowly promote while your cuck king sits in the corner because clearly that's what you want, for everyone to waste their damn time while you go for a lucky stalemate that doesn't mean fucking shit because its ONLINE CHESS YOU FAT FUCKS.
