Do i have to make a new account to try play higher ranked players then? I only started playing about 4 months back and lost most of my first few games so i got knocked down to sub 300 elo 🥲 ive been winning most of my games now, but the damage is done and im only back up to 370 elo. its abit frustrating grinding for elo now, i only get 9-10 elo per game so id have to win 100 games in a row to try playing better players

I mean if you’re looking to get good it helps to know some opening principles (try to control the center, develop your minor pieces first then major pieces, don’t move your kingside pawns too much and keep your king safe, etc.) but it’s the moves you make in the midgame which really make or break your game.

A lot of improvement in chess comes from playing games yourself, making mistakes, and analyzing your games afterwards. I recommend playing on longer time controls (15|10 minimum) and really taking your time to think through your moves as you play, as that’s the best way to learn and will give you a huge leg up against others at lower elo who tend to be awful at time management.

And always remember to analyze your games after you finish them, even the ones you win. Even if you played well in a game and crushed your opponent, there are likely to still be many smaller adjustments you can make to your development and other tactics you overlooked that can seriously improve your position in future games.

And most of all, have fun! Ok maybe that sounds a bit cheesy, but at the end of the day chess is a board game meant for entertainment, so feel like you need to take it too seriously

it is a better weapon in faster time controls than it is in long rapid or classical.

#

Coding is often referred to as programming but there is a difference between coding and programming

nimble arch
#

what the hell is the difference

#

coding is code and programming is the stuff outside of the code for planning?

#

Ha I dont have a plan

nimble arch
#

yeah no we are using that interchanably

#

what I was saying was closer along the lines of "Any Python experts around who are willing to commit into looking into my problem, whatever that may turn out to be, even if it's not actually related to Python or if someone who doesn't know anything about Python could actually answer my question?"

fluid kite
# nimble arch what the hell is the difference

Programming is much more broad. Coding and programming can be use interchangeably but programming is the entire program in itself. Coding is the tool you use and the systems you make to make the program run. Programming is making those systems work together

fluid kite
nimble arch
# obtuse osprey ask then

When creating a trie, a from of prefix tree, what the most efficent way to filter through it? In this case, this tree is a branch of chess games and the filter involves the number of occurances, winrate, and engine eval. The occurances and winrate can be obtained through the attribute of a node (in this case, a move) of the chesstree() object. Im trying to reduce the amount of times I need to scan the positions with because engines take quite some time
