Gordon EF Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Made a chess.com account, GordonEF. Definitely put me in the lowest league whatever that is. I just trying playing the app on my laptop on the lowest setting. Managed to win but made a few absolute howlers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It’s common for the game analysis to tell me of a better move I could’ve made. Which would be fine if it wasn’t for the fact that many times I can’t for the life of me see what’s better about their suggestion. I played a game last week where for 3 consecutive moves it told me I should’ve sacrificed my queen to win a bishop. No positional benefit that I could see. Bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses some sort of statistical analysis system taking into account all positions on the board so e.g. losing your queen may lead to the potential to check in the next few moves. I like playing games with the real time analysis running and often ignore the ideal moves recommended even though there'll be a good reason for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Started playing daily games to get a true rating there. 5 mins in I start get getting message from my opponent to "play my goddamn turn".

It's good to see so much interest in this considering there apparently isn't even a half decent player among us. At this rate we'll need to divide the B division into regional leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Some pre-season footnotes / musings: - Don’t moan when the leagues are published, I’m nae changing them - Will publish two fixtures per week, everyone will play each other home & away (white & black) - 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
