SE Chess

@JNat speaking of bullet.. You should watch some ChessNetwork on YouTube sometime. Really cool guy, does lots of bullet which makes it very interesting. (Thanks to @Uni for introducing me to him).

JNat

I'll check it out

Unihedron

@Seth Yeah, Jerry is a great grandmaster.

Jun 14 at 3:25, by Unihedron

I'm watching Jerry playing the hug arena (bullet).

^ Here's the video I linked.

Seth

@Unihedron according to his lichess profile he's only an NM.

@Unihedron I've been watching more too :p

His latest KOTH one is really awesome.

Unihedron

@Seth What's an NM?

GM is an FIDE title.

JNat

@Unihedron time!

Seth

3:19 PM

National Master (I.e. USCF if he's American)

Unihedron

I got carried away chatting, sorry

hey I ended with as much time as you had

JNat

I gave you 30 more seconds :P

Unihedron

Thanks :D

Seth

I wish I could play but I really must get back to work... I hate timezones :(

Unihedron

so sorry :(

Seth

3:21 PM

We need to recruit more North American players :p

Unihedron

I hate my timezone :(

^ @JNat

JNat

Yup

@Unihedron Good games

Nice

Unihedron

ggs :)

You played well

JNat

You played better ;)

Unihedron

3:36 PM

King of the Hill Speed Chess Tournament [162]

^ This is cool to watch. xD

ProgramFOX

en.lichess.org/tv/atomic

Atomic TV!

JNat

@Unihedron Good stuff

Unihedron

Yes, lots of fun

@ProgramFOX I can tell you're liking the updates already xD

Horde TV isn't very active

I guess you can't play it on bullet :P

This is a good idea because now you can look at good players play on variants that the computer can't play as.

Learning!

Seth

I can play a couple blitz games now if anyone wants.

Unihedron

Me!

Seth

Been a while since we tried atomic I think @Unihedron

lichess.org/kVJZmAkI

ProgramFOX

4:07 PM

This was exciting: en.lichess.org/kL33BXJsRwgV

Unihedron

@Seth Yep, last tuesday

@ProgramFOX lol splendid!

ProgramFOX

:D

oops now I blundered and lost >.<

Unihedron

O_O

ProgramFOX

yay I won again from that 1900-player!

Byte Commander

Anyone a quick game with me?

ProgramFOX

4:19 PM

not me right now, in a tournament

Unihedron

Sure. Send me a challenge!

We're on atomic TV. xD

And not anymore. Now someone else is.

ProgramFOX

Woot! I ended second!

Seth

Thanks for playing @uni

Unihedron

np :D

fun!

ProgramFOX

Hmm... so games of lower-rated players also appear on Lichess TV for a short time. That might explain why one of my Tournament games suddenly got 3 spectators xD

Unihedron

4:31 PM

xD

We just got four.

> [00:31] <Unihedron> TV request: Friends

ProgramFOX

?

Unihedron

see your followed players if they're live

cycles through the best games among followed players, if you shall

ProgramFOX

I mean, what does that "TV request: Friends" mean?

Unihedron

Idea for a Lichess TV of seeing your friends play.

ProgramFOX

ohhh...

when I saw it on #lichess, I understood what it was

when you said it here, I thought it was in a Lichess chat box

Seth

4:34 PM

@ByteCommander I can do one more blitz game

ProgramFOX

> <ornicar> having en.lichess.org/tv/atomic open in background is scary

2

hehe

Seth

I prefer 5+0 or 5+1 but I can do a bit more time if you want.

@ProgramFOX dos explosions tho xD

Byte Commander

@Seth Busy with Uni and KOTH... Soryy ;)

Unihedron

Oh wait

Never mind. xD

It was a mate in 3, not a mate in 2.

Going to sleep. Exams tomorrow. A tough subject I was trying to study but ended up killing time by watching youtube videos and playing in chess tournaments (sigh, typical)

ProgramFOX

Good luck!

Unihedron

4:45 PM

Thanks :)

... I'll need it :S

I don't get why 0+3 koth is so popular

games at that pace makes me want to

let's keep it pg13

but still

Byte Commander

Night Uni.

Good luck with your exams.

ProgramFOX

> Time on TV: 6 minutes

I've been 6 minutes on Atomic TV :O

Unihedron

I've been on TV for 49 minutes

people like you can only wish ;)

LOL kidding

ProgramFOX

lol

Unihedron

That was such an offensive joke I feel bad for it. xD

ProgramFOX

4:53 PM

xD

Seth

That's ok @ByteCommander, something came up and I don't have the time any more anyway :)

Unihedron

blog post feeds didn't come up

yet

I'm worried

Stack Exchange

5:08 PM

ProgramFOX has made a change to the feeds posted into this room

ProgramFOX

changed lichess.org into en.lichess.org and let's see then

Weird... the <published> tags contain Unicode characters... that appear as question marks for me... perhaps that confuses SE.

Seth

6:01 PM

Ooh, the folks at lichess taught stockfish 3 check!

ProgramFOX

Yup.

I like that I have been able to win from Level 6 once, but I cannot even win from Level 1 Standard.

Seth

Blitz anyone? I can do a few.

ProgramFOX

I'll have to leave pretty soon probably, but not sure when exactly...

Seth

That's fine with me

I'm on mobile though so I can't see challenges

lichess.org/3E88lRCU

5+1 3 check

No one? Ok then.. I'll try again later :)

I'm terrible at 3 check xD

Seth

9:05 PM

joined my first tourny.. and got really confused with the ui >.<

Doesn't help I joined with 5 minutes on the clock I guess.

Unihedron

11:04 PM

I'm awake! Going to play in daily atomic for a. bit before heading out!

Swift win, good start

ok I'm paired up with noobs, just a matter of free rating from here on

says the one who then fell for his own tactic

sigh

Seth

I'm on a huge losing streak :/

Unihedron

I'm on page two~!

Time to turn on some music, it will assist my performance

I'm only 30% awake here

Seth

I'll give it another shot

Unihedron

Have fun! :)

I'm on the second page! Hype!

ugh

I'm playing against a really strong player with good defenses

I moved the desperate risky move and jumped far from my computer in fear

Seth

11:20 PM

lol

I lost one

and won one

which is ok I guess

I'm only in 17th place!

Unihedron

20 now

Victory by resignation

I'm close to getting on the first page!

Seth

walked away and forgot to withdraw

Unihedron

ohai

we're paired up

Seth

oh that was you!

lol

Unihedron

I'm on the first page, with a streak!

Seth

11:28 PM

I'm bad

bad bad

Unihedron

Too bad, we're out of time

it's not going to pair us up I don't think

Seth

nope :/

Unihedron

ah the top guy though, victory all along

I don't dare try for the daily antichess one

Seth

atomic top 10 :/

Lucio

sup

Unihedron

11:30 PM

Haha, nice!

I'm almost on TV for an entire hour.

> Time on TV: 55 minutes

Lucio

Is that a maraton?

Unihedron

I'm going on a streak of playing discrete rated bullet atomic chess, see you

@Lucio hi

Seth

@Unihedron laterz

@Lucio hi!

just got creamed in an atomic turny. Uni didn't do so bad though

Unihedron

I only had half an hour

Lucio

yesterday, by Lucio

I'm not used with the terms yet

:(

Unihedron

11:34 PM

I got rekt

Let's let the rated games wait until I'm awake. xD

Lucio

We need a wiki with a glossary

Unihedron

Nah, just you. :P

Seth

argh

missed a mate move.

@Lucio tourny = tournament, atomic is a variant

freechess.org/Help/HelpFiles/atomic.html

rated effects your rating, casual does not. bullet == <= 1 minute of total playing time per player, blitz 2-10 minutes, real time is anything greater (up to a day) and correspondence is anything longer than a day.

Lucio

thanks for that :)

Unihedron

ugh I lost a bit of rating

Oh well, I'll get it back this afternoon

Gotta be an early bird if you're in for picking up the loose worms

Seth

11:37 PM

rating isn't everything ;)

Unihedron

@Seth rating is criteria for getting a trophy, which I like

Seth

trophies aren't everything either :P

Unihedron

Not going to argue with a vague description, they're something

> Time on TV: 59 minutes

That's almost an hour

Seth

ugh, missing those atomic mates.

Doorknob

@Unihedron you are very good at math

Seth

11:41 PM

hi @Doorknob!

Wanna play?

Lucio

lol

Seth

I should probably be studying but...

I have this loud fan behind me :P

Lucio

:O

Seth

23 in this room, so hot :P

Doorknob

@Seth sure, and I'm going to make you make the hard decision of what variant and send me the link :P

Seth

11:41 PM

ofc you are ;p

Lets do KOTH

Doorknob

alright

Unihedron

Fun! I'll watch via tv

Seth

@Doorknob That can always backfire you know ;p;p

@Doorknob lichess.org/KPggcIl0

Lucio

@Seth so.. koth

Seth

King of the Hill, another variant. en.lichess.org/king-of-the-hill

Doorknob

11:43 PM

nice rating @Seth :)

Lucio

I saw that show :)

Seth

hahaha

I don't much care for ratings.

I just play.

When I get better than I might care more.

Unihedron

Why +1 increment? Odd time control.

Seth

@Unihedron I forgot.. It was default from previous games.

Unihedron

Me watches lichess TV koth... Me watches seth and doorknob...

yeah big difference xD

Whoa, seth just gave away their rook. xD

Seth

11:46 PM

blunder blunder

-.-

Unihedron

What a ~~wonderful~~ blunderful game!

Seth

hehe

and again

Unihedron

rook takes would had been winning

Seth

I have the time, I should use it.

Unihedron

this match is unbearable lol

Seth

11:47 PM

so it would have

but now you told me

and I can use it

@Unihedron guess you should start tutoring ;0

Unihedron

@Lucio Quick game? I wanna see how far you are into quick games

just curious :P

Lucio

I lost.

there you go

Seth

and again :O

this is why I play blitz..

and again

Doorknob

good game!

Seth

I'm an idiot.

@Doorknob gg!

Doorknob

11:50 PM

lol

Unihedron

It took 32 moves

lol

Seth

(oh and @Lucio: gg == "good game")

Unihedron

@Seth nah, fox should be the one tutoring, he's excellent in atomic

I'm not even slightly experienced in koth - I lose in bullet

Seth

@Unihedron you're good at the rest ;0

well

anyway, I should go do some studying.

I've got no correspondence games going though, if someone would like to play that way.

Unihedron

Gonna head out now. Stay safe! :P

I'll play in tomorrows' daily atomic.

At the proper starting time, lol
