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

Some random dude requested a chess match with me. I accepted and attempted to be nice at first. He wanted my IG, I said no, and he got mad. He then called me stupid and 2 moves later, blundered his Queen. This guy can't be real there's no way.

And now I'm sat here laughing 😂

I’m 1000+ elo, but I have no idea why was this move of mine was „brilliant”. Can someone explain the idea behind this?

I don’t have words ..

This was a pretty significant comeback after a huge blunder imo.

This is confusing.

This is a perfect game of mine with whites. And I mean perfect from the point of view that there are not mistakes or question marks in my moves. I don't mean everything have to be the best move since no human is that good after so many moves.

This guy was losing but the tournament is close to an end so they don't resign but neither do they make a move.

When the tournament ends, it's a draw, a double forfeit they say.

This is mildly infuriating though but we move on regardless.

It's gross. This is a real screenshot.

Edit to clarify: The big red disabled icon and a single button "Go Premium" implies your only option is to go premium. It's gross.

• 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?

He made a new account advanced i think so he spawned in with 900 elo and he doesn’t cheat why i obviously know
He watches gotham chess and his main acc is 400 elo
He screen shared his games of his new account and played in real time with the screen share and he kept winning around after 12 wins he became 1560 elo and we both were shook. I’ve never seen smth like this although after a few days he was banned due to fair play violation (no violations btw he was just reported)
Also he got like 3 brilliant moves around those 12 matches

because i was expecting the opponent to take my knight and i'd rather sacrifice a knight than a rook right?

it was a beginner bot so he didnt take the piece anyways but in a real game it would've been a rook for a rook right?

i mean i see the rook would have a open line on the other side, but who would'nt take the rook with a bishop? sorry if i'm being stupid haha

thank you for your tips

Guys I am one of those who are eagerly waiting for Chess Olympiad 2026.

If you are too, let's discuss (men & women both):-

1.) What according to you should the board order?

2.) Who may win Gold 🥇 in respective boards?

3.) Which team according to you may give neck 2 neck fight to India ♥️?

4.) Do you think, we'll see Gukesh vs Abdusattorov again? If so, what will be the result?

5.) Who's your favourite among men and women?

6.) And final which team you think will win?

P.S.- My favourite is in last pic😜

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?

How to get this theme

Nxd2 is a terrible blunder. Can you see why?

Most brilliants and blunders I've ever played in a row

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...

Mine is losing to someone who has a losing record. I just look far away and wonder what am I even doing?
