gukesh is an overall better player, but with the format and the amount of preparation that goes in, ding still has a massive chance. he's basically fighting for the last of his dignity considering everyone has been calling him a fragile mentally ill loser for 2 years. it will be a 50/50 toss up.

Indians surround and press against favored individuals, en masse, as a ritual of endearment. The purpose is to replicate the feeling of being in India with the stifling body heat and sweaty moisture. Like a rugby scrum but with more groping.

I get what you're saying but in online chess that is a good strategy. I do it too because much more often than not, your opponent will do anything possible to avoid repeating even if he's black and/or lower rated. I have gotten countless wins from them blundering trying to avoid a repetition.
I wouldn't do it OTB though.

Yes I noticed this as well. Nothing is more effective at inducing blunders from my fellow blootz shitters than offering them a draw by repetition.

Not the first time this happened either, as much as I hate stench it's nice that reports actually do something, on lichess I don't even bother anymore
On the other hand the % of cheaters on .com is way higher in my expirience so lichess is still the lesser evil

None of that will be enough for them to ban him. He needs to either play computer only moves or have move times that are abnormal or a combination of both. He will say the discrepancy is due to him being old or a flaglet and get away with it. In the current year it's impossible to catch a smart cheater

In Stjepan's defense, to get a high rating in those time controls you need to play into the time control, ie, not take a ton of time on your decisions. If he is doing it to prepare for OTB chess, then he could be playing in a way that's antithetical to success in the time control.

No, that is just something the GUI guys came up with to justify their continued existence.

My recommendation was to have the move arrow appear on the board when you hover your cursor over a game in the master database. Like you see the "top games from this position" section, and if you hover over the Carlsen-Giri game, the arrow shows what Carlsen played in that position, so you don't have to click the game to see.

The final round of the Osho challenger league is being played. Three players, Takuya Nagase (4-1), Seiya Kondo (3-2), and Takuya Nishida (4-1) are eligible to win the tournament. Nagase and Nishida can both win outright, while Kondo can win by a tiebreaker game if he gets lucky.

If both Nagase and Nishida win, they will play a tiebreaker. If both of them lose, there will be a tiebreaker between Nagase and Kondo. If one of them wins, and the other loses, the player that won their game becomes the challenger with no tiebreaker.
Also being played is a game between the two players in last place, Yoshiharu Habu (1-4) and Yuki Saskai (0-5).

it's pretty well universal that everyone thinks gukesh is the favorite here. I don't think Ding has recovered from his malaise. I think he would need a combination of two factors to secure a win: Gukesh must show his age early on, make some mistake, show some hesitation, something. 2. Ding must capitalize on this. If Gukesh slips up and Ding misses it, Ding is done. Gukesh will roll him after that. If Ding does capitalize on the mistake, maybe something clicks with him and he comes alive.

All that is low percentage. Gukesh's team may very well tell him he doesn't need to apply pressure at all for the first half of the match. Just sit back, take no risk, try to make the unspoken point that it's Ding who has to prove something here. I don't really know the psychological game in chess over lengthy matches like this but it makes sense in my head.

I'm not sure Dubov is implying cheat with that statement. Gukesh's style is strangely clinical because he apparently calculates the hell out of every single move. It's why he's so slow. It's like he doesn't really care about a broader strategy. Instead every move is separate from the one before it once he's out of prep.

In shitter online blitz? Pick one of the versions of the closed. The b3/Snyder variation in particular is often a problem for me because it's rare even among closed players and I never feel like I have enough practice against it. Starts:
1. e4 c5 2. b3
and usually continues like
Nc6 3. Bb2 d6 or something with Bb5 and often some early f4 unless black has played e5 already. f4 anyway in some move orders is still playable but it's a different more aggressive kind of plan.... which scores really well on lichess player database I see now. Yeah this all looks really good for white among blitz shitters. No wonder I get run over by it so often. I need better prep for black.

Noob here.
White to play. Why is Bxc7 better than controlling the center with e5?

I saw Bxc7 and thought "why bother, they're just gonna do Qe7 or Qe8". But apparently engine is seeing 7. ...Qe7 8. Bd6 Qxd6 and says it's better than 8. Bd6 Qf7. Why is sacking the Queen for a Bishop better here?

Couple reasons:
Bxc7 takes material with tempo on the queen, plus gets the bishop very involved on the attack on the king
e5 doesn't really do much. It blocks your bishop's scope.
Also, if we define the center as the central squares, d5-e5-e4-d4, it doesn't control the center. It actually cedes control of the center. The pawn on e4 controls the central square d5, but on e5 it points at d6 and f6.

The engine wants to give up the queen because it realizes it is screwed and it's better to trade off the attacking pieces so it doesn't get immediately checkmated.

controlling the center shouldn't be a huge concern for you in that position, he has zero exposed pieces and an exposed king and you have activity
you should be looking for ways to tear him into shreds not locking down the position

I figured out why some of com's puzzle's have completely inappropriate ratings. It's right in their documentation. They lock a puzzle's rating after a period of time and it will stay there forever regardless of solve rate unless/until a com janny decides to change it.
>When a puzzle is first added, its rating is determined by who is able to solve it. After a set period, the puzzle’s rating becomes locked and does not change further. In some cases, if a puzzle’s rating is found to be inaccurate, Chess.com may adjust it to better reflect its difficulty.
https://support.chess.com/en/articles/8602396-how-do-puzzle-ratings-work

This is why you can run across puzzles on the site with five figures worth of plays on them and somehow 20% pass rate or 80% pass rate. I can't figure out a reason why they thought this was a good idea. I don't know what it does unless they specifically want a portion of puzzles they know are over or underrated, then offer those specific puzzles to particular players at particular times for some engagement hand rubbing reasons. There is no legitimate reason for this.

It’s obvious when you think about it. Nepo, Dubov, Kramnik all intimating that everyone else are cheaters. It’s a guilty conscious telling on themselves because they used to be backed by state-sponsored cheating. Don’t forget Kramnik was credibly accused of cheating in a World Championship match even. But the zoomers here won’t remember that.

15 minutes of mate in 1 puzzles per day, starting right now. You have to memorize all of the basic mate patterns to an extent that eventually you can see M1 instantly, even from a distance (i.e. when calculating deeper lines). Practicing checkmates will also teach you a lot about square control and piece coordination, it trains essential skills that will help you improve in all areas of your game. Can't go wrong with that at all, and at your elo you can trust me you will see results immediately.

i don't think 17% of a total 750k, when russia is one of the biggest gaming demos on steam, is really as bad as you're suggesting. of course china and usa are 2 and 3, because those are the next biggest gaming demos. of course random countries like poland aren't going to have a lion's share because of their population size
you'd really need a per capita metric to make this claim and even then it's pretty scuffed because maybe it's just the case that there was one single massive russian hacker farm, or any number of random possible situations like that which don't imply that the russian population has some outrageous tendency to cheat

Accidentally blunder a piece in the opening? That was a fluke, let's fire up the engine to get back into the game.

When first posted it may have 5k or 10k worth of plays. Over the course of the day it will accumulate another 100k worth. Sometimes these puzzles move by more than 300 points over the 24 hours.

The response to Kramnik's crusade is telling. You would think it would be mainly support at least in so far as calls for better security measures are concerned (second camera absolute minimum). Instead there is a surprising amount of defensiveness and ad hominem. Like it's been an open secret and understood to be no big deal among some section of titled players, perhaps because all of them consider online to be a joke anyway. The idea that their reputation could be damaged by online cheating is causing them to recoil and lash out. That's what i think is happening.

I meant as "on average e4 leads to more exciting chess" my bad for phrasing it like that didn't mean to sound so absolutist of course it depends more on the player's style(although one can argue aggressive players are more likely to play e4 to begin with too) and the specific lines he goes into than just the first move but if you could take like a million games of each with the same average rating and compare them there is no doubt in my mind e4 would have more sharp tactical games
it's just inheritly more combative, even in the most basic shitterest terms disregarding any concrete theory you open the diagonals for 2 pieces instead of one and the pawn on e4 is undefended unlike on d4

My take is he always runs the engine concurrently with his games when he's doing games on a speed run account, and may glance at it from time to time to double-check that he's playing solidly and not missing any interesting lines, but tries to rely on his knowledge, experience, and intuition for the majority of his moves, at least in the early game. Whether that extends beyond speed run games is kind of up in the air, but I think Kramnik has some reasonable suspicions.

I think it's likely he cheated. Both to foster some kind of persona as a niche strong player (super gm tier at 3|0 and bullet), and to generate high volume of educational content without having to think much. Say you're an online cheat off and on just a bit to tip the scales and make yourself look important. It would be very easy at that point to casually start using engine during lesson videos to double check your work. Daniel, in his early streaming career, would get terribly embarrassed when he miscalculated anything. Maybe he started using engine to avoid that scenario. He certainly loves proudly proclaiming he has found an elaborate tactical idea and putting on a big show of figuring it out in his head.

Does anyone else have the problem of forgetting who's turn it is when calculating long lines?

When calculating long sequences (especially in endgames) I have trouble both vizualizing the position and remembering who's turn it is, like my pea-sized brain doesn't have enough room for both. Once I forget who's turn it is I have to do the calculation from the start and waste valuable time. This can happen multiple times while calculating a single move often leading to time trouble. Tips / training techniques for improving here?

At least they advertised start date of November 25th, which is the date of the first game. Sometimes FIDE will list opening ceremony day as start date, I tune in to stream to find no games only faffery and bullshit.
>>503392952
Yes but people who play these openings expect that and they have prep. I have a disadvantage as I have to carefully look at what's going on in the position. This isn't some 1000 just pushing pawns because it's funny. At 1800 blitz if the guy is doing this it's either because he's drunk or he plays this meme stuff often and knows exactly what he's doing. I have to assume the latter.
