How hard can it be ro write an anticheat that detects 94% winrate

[reef canyon]

@azure pivot come fight me

[gloomy crane]

Why doesn't chesscom admit they simply don't care and want more players

Horrible website

[loud dome]

[reef canyon]

[azure pivot]

Key word unrated

[reef canyon]

wow i feel bad being older than you and being un*mployed 💔

with or w/o increment?

[gloomy crane]

Don't need to have 2000000iq to know an account registered a day ago with 94% winrate and 90+ accuracy is a cheater

[vital pelican]

Yesterday i finally comoleted all the drills and i didn't get acievment for that, website is very glitchy

[loud dome]

Contact support

[gloomy crane]

It's unfortunate chesscom does not care

They prefer more players rather than quality players

[vital pelican]

Yeah

[gloomy crane]

I don't know how braindead one must have to be to get detected by chesscom anticheat

Literally playing SECOND best engine move and not the first one is enough it seems

[quasi nova]

Focus mode. On computer it's a little icon that appears next to the board during a game (I think I don't have a computer), but idk where it is on mobile

[reef canyon]

cue eric rosen's oh no my queen

[azure pivot]

Cold move

[prisma ruin]

Thank you i Will try

[inland abyss]

[reef canyon]

[azure pivot]

Wtf

Ok I’m blaming it on the phone idc😭😭😭

Outrageous play by me

[loud dome]

What is your resignation %

[reef canyon]

[azure pivot]

I want a 100 game rematch when I get home

[reef canyon]

ur gonna make me wanna have another longer chess break

[tribal pagoda]

rated mode for rage mode later is would be good

[reef canyon]

watch me siphon at least 50 rating points from this guy

[azure pivot]

Might be the other way around

[reef canyon]

how the hell do i have a puzzles rating

[azure pivot]

Solved a 2862 puzzle

[reef canyon]

and it's 7 years ago i was 13 at the time 😭

im just a lowly 1600 who think's theyre 2000 though 😔

[azure pivot]

Look at mine💀

[reef canyon]

u should be adopting me then 💔

[azure pivot]

Yeah I really should be tbh

You and @radiant swan keep schooling me

[hexed oracle]

wsp lads

[modest spire]

Hi

[restive summit]

Hello

[modest spire]

can anyone can help about a glitch?

[near hatch]

What glitch?

[modest spire]

its like i was playing and had a better position and opponent also had less time but the game was aborted. i dont know how but its strange 😑

and it was in endgame

[kindred crypt]

Hiii everyone

[reef canyon]

server restart

it happens

[kindred crypt]

How can I join team

[kindred crypt]

Your rate?

[kindred crypt]

Im a beginner...it's really low 🙏

[kindred crypt]

Me too I am just a prodigy or intermediate ig

[modest spire]

wasnt it supposed to take me out of the page and show about the server restart? it never happened before. and if its server restart why i can play immediately after that happened?

[kindred crypt]

I mean I know the basics ofc

[kindred crypt]

Great

[near hatch]

yeah its a setting

you can allow them to abort the game with a setting

[kindred crypt]

Thanks

[modest spire]

in endgame also?🙂

[near hatch]

No I'm just joking

It's not a feature at all

[thorny mist]

This is what I call progress

[kindred crypt]

I need help with openings and analysing my games or else it ends in draw or I lose

[limpid viper]

opposite

[near hatch]

Whats your rating?

[limpid viper]

i'll instant resign after a blunder

[modest spire]

😊owh

[kindred crypt]

200 smth, ofc I'm a beginner

[honest creek]

I keep playing even though I have absolutely zero chance of winning.

[small jungle]

you dont need openings at 200

[radiant swan]

bro thats cuz u played bullet on phone i dont count that

[kindred crypt]

I know how to play, how pieces move and stuff but ig I mess up the endgame

Idk tbh

[small jungle]

just solve puzzles most of ur opps will hang a piece eventually

[kindred crypt]

Hm, sure, I want to boost my rating and improve

[radiant swan]

u hang pieces too frfr

i hang more

[small jungle]

Never vro

[reef canyon]

and in case that they dont, learn your endgames to truly cover everything

i love my three rook and pawn positions

[radiant swan]

lower rated than CountingBrilliants in 2025

[reef canyon]

philidor/lucena/vancura

[kindred crypt]

One thing I was told was to adapt because the opp won't play according to the book

[radiant swan]

wtf is vancura

[small jungle]

I don't study endgame🐺

[near hatch]

Just learning not to blunder is all you need. Cause next to every game there is determine on like one move blunders.

[radiant swan]

i dont study anything

[reef canyon]

2100 blitz and doesnt know the vancura 🥀

[radiant swan]

i dont read chess books

[reef canyon]

black to play and draw

[radiant swan]

or study anything so idk

[small jungle]

I know they exist that's it

[reef canyon]

this is the vancura position

[kindred crypt]

Alright, but that means learning to analyse the game, no?

[small jungle]

Always check checks captures and attacks

[kindred crypt]

Ok, I'll make sure

[near hatch]

What exactly do you mean?

[radiant swan]

Ra4 looks good

[kindred crypt]

If I don't know how to analyse the board and knowing possible threats or captures, I might make a blunder.

[azure pivot]

Just kc3 no

[reef canyon]

one of the drawing moves yes, but white will want to make progress

[radiant swan]

ok let white go to the pawn and when white does js check and move back to the a file

[reef canyon]

how do you draw this now?

[small jungle]

Nah Id win

[radiant swan]

i didnt sign up for a rook on e3 bro

[kindred crypt]

Rook to e5?

[radiant swan]

that js looks lost

[reef canyon]

but it's not!

[lusty sun]

i dont know Re1 and checks from behind?

[reef canyon]

lost

[radiant swan]

hold on js Re1 and check out the king and then shuffle back to the a file fr

[lusty sun]

damn but like i havent seen this in my life

[radiant swan]

neither have i in my 8800 games

[lusty sun]

i have seen a philior or lucena but this never

[reef canyon]

white gets to hide behind the a pawn, put the rook on b7 go Kb8 and white wins by pushing a7 and so on

[tribal pagoda]

Draw by Timeout vs Insufficient Material

[radiant swan]

fLaG uR oPpOnENt

[reef canyon]

learn the vancura gang 🙏

also benefits you when youre the one pushing for a win

[radiant swan]

if ive never seen it after 8800 games then I'm not gonna 💀

[small jungle]

I can't remember the last time I had this position if ever

[reef canyon]

fair

[dense flint]

how can I verify my chess com account

[near hatch]

For a little more advanced beginner level you should learn basic opening ideas, always look for check, captures and attacks, look at what your opponent can/want to do and just not blundering.

[dense flint]

not on discord

[radiant swan]

i do know how to win a lucena tho

[leaden bronze]

.

[reef canyon]

my favorite one really

because it's the only one that wins 💀

[radiant swan]

i drew in one against u tho

[tribal pagoda]

Who is lucena

[radiant swan]

u were the one with the pawn lmao

[reef canyon]

i dont think it was a lucena because analysis said 0.0 all the way through

more like a philidor

[radiant swan]

wait fr?

[reef canyon]

it was a philidor yea

[radiant swan]

i thought it was a lucena cuz my rook wasnt at 6th rank

or idk the positions of philidor and lucena

[reef canyon]

the difference i guess is your king was close enough to defend

the queening square

[radiant swan]

my king was literally at ur queening square ¯_(ツ)_/¯

well i survived ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[reef canyon]

well i tried

i missed a mating idea i dont think i tried at all 😔

[radiant swan]

bro wasn't trying

[reef canyon]

at least i didnt end up flagging that one

that wouldve been embarrassing 🥀

[radiant swan]

i couldve went for a flag 💀

ion know tbo

[reef canyon]

i want some rematches but im getting this laptop repaired soon

[radiant swan]

bros finally gonna touch grass

no laptop no discord yes grass

[reef canyon]

my chessboard actually, which will stray me further away from grass

actually wait

my chessboard is made of wood, wood comes from trees, trees are plants, so are grass, in conclusion, i am touching grass 🔥

[radiant swan]

[rich sun]

Anyone down for a match?

[radiant swan]

the fact u won as black and i won as black

we play better w black or sum shi 💀

[reef canyon]

i literally only win as black against u and @azure pivot

his first win against me is with black too 😭

[empty iron]

Was my opponent cheting?
I can give pgn if u want

[radiant swan]

this shi go brr

[reef canyon]

oh we traded a pair of white wins so far

[radiant swan]

wtf is Nwjfiwofeootqpr-Rowofoeodofkfk Attack

[rich sun]

99 and 97 accuracy🙀🙀

[reef canyon]

i am not pronouncing that bro 😭

i love the rossolimo though no shame

[rich sun]

Its easy to pronounce, just 3 syllables

For the first half

And 2 for second half

[radiant swan]

need to lock in against u then

[reef canyon]

im playing e4 next time

[radiant swan]

when were 1600s good 😔

[small jungle]

how do 2000s still fall for this😭

[reef canyon]

im chess.com's strongest 1600

[radiant swan]

luckiest or strongest

[reef canyon]

both, both is good

in chess you need both :3

[azure pivot]

[radiant swan]

@azure pivot didnt know u lose to newt as well

[graceful flint]

Guys anyone want to play 1 rapid chess game?

[azure pivot]

I’m 1/3

[empty iron]

||https://lichess.org/study/CPsNukyl||
Here's the game, I believe white indeed was on fishoil 🐟

[reef canyon]

record is currently 3-1 for me against him

[radiant swan]

lucky me we're completely equal

[reef canyon]

it shouldnt be bro im just a 1600 🥀

[azure pivot]

Interesting triangle we got going on

[radiant swan]

@tribal pagoda tilted me bro

i untilted and re-tilted the same day

[reef canyon]

once @radiant swan starts farming me itd be like rock paper scissors

[zealous marsh]

Breaking that cycle

Anyone want to play a 10 mins game

[azure pivot]

💀

[radiant swan]

i told u i needed games to untilt bro

and it was bullet good sir 💀

[tribal pagoda]

how i titled you

[radiant swan]

remember the Bb7 game

[tribal pagoda]

yes

[radiant swan]

was winning until that time

when i played it i js became tilted lmao

[tribal pagoda]

wot, i see nothing change

[radiant swan]

shouldve won but lost ykwim

[tribal pagoda]

maybe lol

@radiant swan but what kind of titled are you talking about, im kind of dumb

[radiant swan]

tilt and title is not the same 💀

tilt is playing worse due to losing a game that was supposed to be won

[tribal pagoda]

oh ok, i thought you have new titled after that game

[radiant swan]

no 💀

i wish i got one

blunder master would be nice

[thorny mist]

Guys is 30 games per day average a bit too high or normal?

[radiant swan]

normal

granted its bullet/blitz

[thorny mist]

Yes

[small jungle]

Low

At least 50 rapid games

[thorny mist]

If I go on the same pace, how long will it take to reach 2k elo?

[tribal pagoda]

hope robot A.I can scan ours match and give titled lol

[radiant swan]

idk tbh maybe a year or something

[limpid viper]

pretty normal

i play like 100 bullet some days

only to end up where i started

[reef canyon]

im somewhat aspiring for 2200 now

any time control...

[ancient grail]

If you have the patience to farm rapid, then it's arguably the easiest tc out there

[graceful flint]

ggs

[ancient grail]

Also, idk why but so many of my opponents get into time scramble at the endgame of a rapid game

[radiant swan]

slow opponents

thats why 10 | 0 best

[ancient grail]

They lose on time more often in 2000 than in 1700

[radiant swan]

old and slow noobies

[ancient grail]

I guess 20 is old now

[radiant swan]

im too old for chess dw

[lone totem]

I had one dude that played rubinstein french, forced me to trade queens then made a king and pawn draw
His play made me crash out ngl

[reef canyon]

h*te speech

[lone totem]

Then when i said "nice playstyle" he responded by being racist 😭

[radiant swan]

@azure pivot rapid non here bro free elo frfr

[lone totem]

Whos free elo bro

[reef canyon]

what country was they fromm

[lone totem]

I think france

[radiant swan]

not for me for that guy

[lone totem]

Nahh i beat the best player in my state in blitz today

[radiant swan]

he calls 2k rapid and anything below 2k in every other non daily/960 time control overrated fr

im lower rated than ha in rapid

[lone totem]

is ok

We can be tilted buddies

[fluid ridge]

maybe sigma man will

[jovial olive]

[radiant swan]

@fluid ridge how to get 2200

[fluid ridge]

idk, i’m yet to achieve it

[lone totem]

Well one reason maybe the f6 pawn is preventing the knight from coming to e5 or g5

The f6 pawn also blocks Qf3

[loud dome]

how to get 2100

[fluid ridge]

scipio shut up

[tribal pagoda]

[fluid ridge]

lol😂, this one?

[storm moth]

im a 400 and i barely scratched the surface of chess

[fluid ridge]

ah

[loud dome]

You are the only one who ever sent this

[fluid ridge]

i’m 200, I guess I am even worse😢

[slim gulch]

False. It was sent very often in 2022

[barren linden]

hello

[loud dome]

Search thingy on Discord only shows you. Maybe there is a second link

[storm moth]

still tho if want to be trained in a way that isnt a waste of your time then find someone atleast 1k+

[loud dome]

Hi

[storm moth]

a coach has to be atleast 5x more trained than their trainee

[radiant swan]

usually i get doubled f pawns but +1.2 advantage

[fluid ridge]

ty

[slim gulch]

I didn't make that gif that's for sure

[fluid ridge]

magnus has a coach tho

[storm moth]

by trained i mean experience

[fluid ridge]

I actually have played one of magnus’s coaches, he crushed me😂

[loud dome]

[storm moth]

i have 15 days of experience

[slim gulch]

I was here before scipio was a mod 😔

[wet hedge]

Guys I think chess ain't my thing

[fluid ridge]

I was here after he was a mod

[storm moth]

also u aint foolin no one

[slim gulch]

that's alright, you can find other hobbies in life

[loud dome]

I was here when scipio was mod

[fluid ridge]

they added a number, it’s really 220-239

[radiant swan]

quit it

[iron bison]

why chess becomes so interesting during exams

[tribal pagoda]

can you stop post random frog with random face

[fluid ridge]

aura, I know scipio mod abused asl

[slim gulch]

you should've unlocked me before quitting mod

[loud dome]

[wet hedge]

Probably will

[storm moth]

[slim gulch]

Not as much as bastoura

[tribal pagoda]

wind is forever my goat

[ancient grail]

I'll never forgive myself for fumbling this endgame

[fluid ridge]

she always yells at me

[radiant swan]

js flag ur opponent ez

[fluid ridge]

this is a draw tho yeah?

[ancient grail]

It's a draw, but that guy cannot take my pawn if I play it right

And he had 15 secs left

[fluid ridge]

mf he can just take it on the spot

[slim gulch]

2023 peak cc discord

[fluid ridge]

even scipio knows

[loud dome]

I see some stalemate tricks

[slim gulch]

it went downhill after that

[median heath]

Where i can analyse my game for free

[fluid ridge]

it’s a draw

[ancient grail]

I should've just played Kg1 instead of Kh1 like an idiot

[slim gulch]

lichess

[loud dome]

Because of the stalemate tricks

[tribal pagoda]

bro will wait timeout and will get Timeout vs Insufficient Material

[fluid ridge]

is it bc I became more active?

[slim gulch]

I dunno

[fluid ridge]

ye, c and f pawns when on 7th rank vs queen is a draw

[slim gulch]

I saw oly streaming valorant on twitch the other day

[ancient grail]

A pawn is sufficient material

[loud dome]

I have not memorized that lol

[fluid ridge]

lol😂 difference between 2200 and 2000 ig

[lone totem]

Oh i know this

[loud dome]

Well I basically never see this endgame. Why bother studying it

[tribal pagoda]

yeah there many ways to make him draw just accept it lol

[slim gulch]

I will lose this position on either side

[fluid ridge]

I saw it on a youtube short I think

[slim gulch]

I once lost an endgame up 2 queens

[lone totem]

I read it in silman's endgame course xD

[loud dome]

"Studying"

[lone totem]

Its more like a single trick

[fluid ridge]

yes, this is studying

[tribal pagoda]

🫵

[fluid ridge]

important one tho

and not too uncommon

[lone totem]

Eh its figurable in-game

[loud dome]

Agreed

[fluid ridge]

ye but scipio

[loud dome]

I forgot to think about that 😭

[fluid ridge]

it’s okay

[slim gulch]

"I forgot who I am"

[kindred crypt]

Who are you ?

[loud dome]

I think therefore I am (I don't think)

[stiff plover]

FIRST DOUBLE BRILLIANT

[tribal pagoda]

under 500 elo

[fluid ridge]

nice

[kindred crypt]

You aint under 500 elo 😭🙏

[loud dome]

I got very disappointed that there is no trick to make a Discord server tag called "chess"

[tribal pagoda]

i said @slim gulch is under 500 elo

[fluid ridge]

scipio do you know anyone online here or nspcl who you know irl?

[quasi nova]

State rapid championships tomorrow, gotta get up at 5am so this will be interesting

[kindred crypt]

Oh alright

[fluid ridge]

lol, goodluck man, what state?

[loud dome]

I don't know anyone from NSPCL irl. What do you mean with the first question?

[stiff plover]

thx

[quasi nova]

Tasmania

[fluid ridge]

it’s one question, anyone from chess online irl?

[tribal pagoda]

im still trying to get triple brilliants lol

[loud dome]

Ah, no I don't

[slim gulch]

no I'm not

[fluid ridge]

cool, you got it bro

[fluid ridge]

[loud dome]

I would probably cringe too much if I knew someone here irl

[tribal pagoda]

yes you are

[loud dome]

[fluid ridge]

[stiff plover]

damn

[fluid ridge]

Yes but that is an obvious trick. For chess it is not possible except for some weird looking tag

[tribal pagoda]

omg

[tribal pagoda]

[fluid ridge]

5 letter guilds do exist tho

[fluid ridge]

[radiant swan]

[loud dome]

I like that one

[tribal pagoda]

[radiant swan]

wb the flame tag

[fluid ridge]

@loud dome you wanna hear new name suggestion?

[tribal pagoda]

look more cool than flame tag

[loud dome]

Sure

[fluid ridge]

what if…. you named yourself… “Scipio”?

[sweet wigeon]

@loud dome Do you know good blitz openings that I could use to win 3+2 tournament (average elo is like 2000 but there are stronger and weaker)?

[fluid ridge]

wait no

it was joke👉👈

[loud dome]

I hate you

[fluid ridge]

sowwy

[loud dome]

Literally anything. Just play what you know best

[lone totem]

Where did scipio go

[sweet wigeon]

I've heard b3 stuff is especially good in shorter time controls but I don't know if that's true

[lone totem]

Reti larsen trust

[radiant swan]

ha mentor me

[lone totem]

I suck at chess bro

[radiant swan]

MENTOR ME

[loud dome]

If you can play it then sure. I don't consider it to be challenging though

[fluid ridge]

scipio the younger has passed on😢

that’s what his name was right?

[lone totem]

Ask goonflower 💔

[fluid ridge]

or wait

africanus?

[radiant swan]

no

mentor me

[sweet wigeon]

Is it better move order than 1.b3?

[radiant swan]

b3 or b6 is just shitfest in short time controls

[sweet wigeon]

Yeah that's true based on my experience

[radiant swan]

it is if opponent puts a pawn on e5

if u don't put a pawn on e5 then 1. b3 players cant do shit

same with b6

but its e4 pawn

trust if u transpose into QID Owen's Defense players wont know how to play it and lose hard

[sage swan]

Can anyone play chess with me? I'm a newbie and wants to play with friends

[radiant swan]

unfortunately none of us are friends

What openings would y'all say is the mirror image to the sicilian but for white? I'm having an existential life crisis right now as I doubt all my opening choices with white xD

I can't just find an aggressiv but objectively good line with white (I played 1.e4 my entire life but I don't wanna play those slow spanish and italians and things like the scotch/scotch gambit are okay to equalize for black :/ )

[sage swan]

Good evening since I'm from Asia 😶

[kindred crypt]

The English

[sage swan]

I thought the English was everything but aggressiv though I guess if black goes for the reversed sicilian it might get aggressive

But do you refer to the standalone English or the English which often simply transposes to different 1.d4 openings

[thick bobcat]

Not the literal mirror image 😂 But I guess it might get sharp though black can also just copy paste white in the english and get an everything but sharp position

[kindred crypt]

Well you asked what the mirror version of Sicilian was

[abstract atlas]

Out of curiosity why does everyone hate the English

[azure pivot]

Boring

[kindred crypt]

They do??

[azure pivot]

Actually it’s better then d4

[loud dome]

I don't understand what you mean

[thick bobcat]

I mean technically you are correct though I used it more as a metaphor

[kindred crypt]

You are his evil clone
Where did he go?

[kindred crypt]

Not sure what your looking for my man

[sage swan]

The only opening ik and play is London 🤖

[thick bobcat]

I meant mirror image in terms of "The Sicilian is the sharpest and best way to play for a victory with black but is also objectively best" but such an opening for white

[loud dome]

If you want something sharp for black, I would recommend the Polerio Defense

[thick bobcat]

I feel like many sharp variations e.g. in the Italian often are objectively only equal

[kindred crypt]

Nothing is objectively the best unless your like 2700 or a computer

[fiery field]

i got diamond yay

[thick bobcat]

Sorry, I meant that I need an sharp opening with white

[empty iron]

pawn endgames are complex 🥺

[loud dome]

King's Gambit

[thick bobcat]

An opening that is both sharp and objectively good I mean 🙂

[loud dome]

KG is objectively equal

[kindred crypt]

Bruh just play what you think is fun

[loud dome]

Smith Morra also fits that

[thick bobcat]

I'm an ambitious classical OTB player striving for 2000+ FIDE elo and though I want something fun, I don't want opponents to get a pleasant position by simply preparing a few lines against me

[thick bobcat]

I would love to play the King's Gambit etc. if it weren't for it being objectively slightly better for black

[loud dome]

Why would the eval matter anyway when you want a sharp position

[kindred crypt]

You act like your opponents are stockfish

[thick bobcat]

Because of the 2nd part of the sentence above

[glass cedar]

that's the us

[loud dome]

People make mistakes, even otb

[naive timber]

Whats the best mode to learn again after not playing for 3 months?

[glass cedar]

do chess players code ?

[loud dome]

Play rapid

[thick bobcat]

Of course, but if they know as black that their opponent plays the King's Gambit, they simply prepare a bit of theory against it

[kindred crypt]

I’ve made a few scratch games

[glass cedar]

uhhh
ig that counts

[loud dome]

So what?

If you are confident about your opening, you don't worry about your opponent preparing something

[kindred crypt]

I’ve got a game with 18 views and one comment

[slow folio]

guys what to do when I get matched with someone much stronger-

[kindred crypt]

Made it in 8th grade

[slow folio]

like about 800 elo

[loud dome]

Change your rating range settings

[kindred crypt]

Just play normally and act like there not any better than you

[empty iron]

My playing style is starting to evolve, I'm starting to dislike drawish positions, and going for complicated openings like kid, sicilian

[slow folio]

no it's a group tournament

[slow folio]

bad luck for me

[slow folio]

like focus mode?

[kindred crypt]

Idk just don’t get freaked out playing a stronger opponent because if you do then you will play worse

[slow folio]

I just hate draw in a drawish position (not theoretical draw position)

[glass cedar]

i beat someone twice my elo ?

[slow folio]

uhm alrighty-

[glass cedar]

on scratch website ?

[kindred crypt]

Yup

[slow folio]

nice

but yeah i will be cooked hard this time lol

[glass cedar]

i once made my own chrome dino game

[kindred crypt]

I made it for an English class project in 8th grade

[slow folio]

1. 10+0 match (disadvantage for me)
2. he's 2200 meanwhile i'm 1400

[glass cedar]
