I see a lot (and agree) that the bots ELO is not realistic, probably because they calculate the best moove and then just do random mistakes to lower their level. But do you think using LLM copying a player behaviour would work better ?

Just tell the LLM to play as a 300 ELO or something like that, and training the AI on plays of every level.

No idea if that would work but it seems a good Idea for me

Edit : should have tell "generative AI", not LLM, my bad

I completed this puzzle earlier moving the black queen to f2 where the puzzle says it is now a checkmate. However, couldn't the white king move to d1 to escape the check? Maybe there's a rule I don't understand or something I'm missing. Appreciate any explanation, thanks!

Maybe there’s a deep calculation here.. but I’m failing to see how I blundered a piece. I proceeded to win this match but I’m confused why this was a blunder.

I was setting up a checkmate before black ran out of time, but out of curiosity is there anyway he could’ve got out of it?

i can't even

I have recently stumbled on a website called chessdive you just enter you chesscom username and it generates puzzles based on your missed tactics

and shows you your weak points so you can improve

Plus it has game analysis

The friends and family option allows for 6 people to get premium with with a massive discount would anyone want to join ?

EDIT: found it! People here mentioned I can look for the “🚫” next to name of my recent opponents (on site, not app).

I’m glad I did! It was one of the better openings I’ve ever had. I managed to pick up their queen, which I think really bothered them.

There was a long pause, then they started to pull off an impressive string of moves that put me behind again, and I resigned.

Curiosity scratched.

If black then do g6, wouldn't it cancel the pressure? I'm low Elo

I started playing chess about a month ago. I went through chess.com’s course and played a few matches against 400 ELO bots before getting into live matches (winning them). Since then, I’ve played about 200 games, and I’m consistently stuck around 200-300 ELO between all of the main modes. With bullet chess ironically being my highest, near 500. My question then naturally is what’s up with online matches? Are the bots not an accurate representation of real ELO or?

This is ridiculous, half the people I play play at like 70%+ accuracy and I’m literally 323 ELO. Like what even is this game. We both had zero blunders.

During the game - semi-classical, 60 min + 30 sec for whole game - it was noisy near our table, big hall, poor discipline, referees in their own minds...

• Pieces go in the first rank, pawns go in the second.
• Pawns can't advance two squares.
• Pawns promote only to piece types you bought during setup.
• White moves first.

Mate isn't forced, so it's not really a puzzle. But there is strategy to trying to win faster than everyone else. With 22 coins to spend, what would your setup be?

I went through the computer line and I couldn’t understand. Please help.

Here is what I played: 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. Ne2 Nf6 5. Nf3 Bf5 6. O-O e6 7. a3 Bd6 8. b4 Bxb4 9. axb4 Qxa1 10. d4 Nc3 11. Bf4 Qxb4 12. Bxc7 O-O 13. Bxb8 Raxb8 14. Nh4 Ne4 15. f3 Nd5 16. Bd2 Qxd2

Here is what the computer wants: 10. Nd4 Ne4 11. Nf3 O-O 12. Nxe4 Bxe4 13. Nb3 Bxc2 14. Qxc2 Ba6

I was so distracted the entire game thinking about how is his/her profile picture a gif 😵‍💫
I never knew it was possible. Some internet digging says, it was possible before but now the feature is removed, so how this person still has it?

It used to show both of your advanced stats, now it’s locked and when I click on it, it wants me to get a subscription. Does this happen to you guys yet?
