Thanks! Was actually wondering about that yesterday after I got my ass handed to me twice in a row. Could really use some practice 😅
Thanks for reminding me I have a chess subscription that was set to renew in June. I’ll keep playing on chess.com but they’re not getting my money.
My cancellation message was “buy european”
I have a really stupid question. I don’t play chess but how do you “detect” cheating from a good player?
Outside of the guy that had a butt plug, I’m confused on how you could know online whether someone is cheating or not.
In part it has to do with matching overly consistently with the moves engines would pick. Even the best players in the world perform worse than modern engines, not to mention you’d expect human players to vary at least sometimes by personal preference among roughly equivalent options.
Curious as well
Isn’t lichess already the standard?
Not in all circles, unfortunately.
Chess.com also has a friendlier and more fun user interface.
Been a while since I played anywhere tbh
Not sure, seems like a chess.com is still quite popular, but I’m not an expert by any mean
Me either. Totally filthy casual lol.
But I don’t think I ever played a game on chess.com. Everyone I talked to that played, played on lichess
That’s how I got into it. Was semi-tutored by a nice random person from /r/chess who took me under their wing (not very well, I’m still shit) but it works so well.
Now my family all use it and we all have a bunch of long format games on the go at any given moment. The only downside is that app notifications aren’t always consistent. But the WebApp is great.
Country doesn’t matter, FOSS is always better
Good move posting this, Blaze ;)
We should have a meme from !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz showing Blaze boldly challenging chess.com
Why not ha ha
On lichess, en passant get a 15% boost. 20% if you are playing in france
Warning: it can be addictive (source: my brother is a chess nerd)
I rarely play chess, but when I do it’s with the lichess app
