Hey lyxal.

Wow lyxal.

Aiden Chow

@lyxal ayyyyy ggs, well done

i recently just got 2300 puzzle rating again as well

lyxal

10:24

@AidenChow big brain

Aiden Chow

@lyxal thanks but im probably just gonna drop back down to 2200 puzzle rating really quickly

lyxal

Most fun part of reaching an elo milestone :p

Knowing you're one puzzle away from unreaching it

Aiden Chow

i think if i fail one puzzle ill still be fine but ill be borderline 2300

but now i dont really want to solve puzzles all of the sudden lmao

also is the only thing u do on lichess solve puzzles

lyxal

Yes lol

Aiden Chow

wait so where do u play actual chess games

chess.com?

lyxal

10:31

@AidenChow I don't lol

Aiden Chow

so u solve chess puzzles but u dont play actual games, interesting

ok im just looking at ur puzzle rating progression and its just like straight up, niiiiice

lyxal

Actual games are a time commitment

Puzzles are whenever

Aiden Chow

@lyxal well u can always play bullet, its super quick

lyxal

A time commitment to stay playing against someone else

Aiden Chow

well u can play correspondence

lyxal

10:34

+ that'd require me to actually learn openings lol

192927376337929292283737373773

Don't learn openings.

lyxal

Puzzles are more my flavour and how I enjoy chess

Aiden Chow

u can play without learning openings, trust me idk much opening theory lol

192927376337929292283737373773

Confuse your opponent with random moves.

And seem like you have a winning strategy.

Aiden Chow

well idk much standard chess opening theory at least, atomic chess on the other hand...

192927376337929292283737373773

10:35

Whilst they scramble to decode it.

But the pressure in their brain prevents critical thinking.

Lead to all the more wins for you.

Aiden Chow

or u can just get a super bad position out of the opening, it can really go either way i suppose

lyxal

@AidenChow if you don't open right, you can seriously ruin your mid and late game

192927376337929292283737373773

I usually play on chess.com.

But I'll try lichess.

Aiden Chow

i barely play on chess.com, i like lichess much better

i think the standard chess community is quite strong on chess.com and they have quite a lot of features for standard chess, but the variants community is rather neglected and lichess simply has a much stronger variants community and overall variants support

192927376337929292283737373773

Hmm.

Aiden Chow

10:40

at least for the variants supported on lichess

192927376337929292283737373773

And I think bots are more on lichess.

lyxal

Puzzles are what I seem to enjoy, and scratch any casual chess itch I have without going too deep into chess

I've had my fair share of competitive chess in life

I think I'm at a point where just the puzzles will do :p

Aiden Chow

@192927376337929292283737373773 u mean the accounts marked as bot accounts? that are programmed by whoever owns that particular acct, its just for ppl to practice against

u can even play some funnier bots like worstfish

which will play the worst moves possible every turn

192927376337929292283737373773

Worstfish.

Let's see if my IQ is dumb enough to lose against worstfish.

I have an idea for a grid based game with physics.

Where you get targets and need to launch equations to win.

So launch 2 to + and then to 2 to get 4.

And + gives a stamina boost so you can actually make it there.

There are a variety of ways to get numbers.

For example 5 is 2+3 and also 6-1.

But we have precedence.

+ gives more stamina than -.

Though generally more larger numbers give better stamina.

You could overblow 1 though.

Give it some flashy old school graphics.

Name it maths.io.

Aiden Chow

@192927376337929292283737373773 its not terribly hard to lose against worstfish

if thats what u r aiming to do

its hard to lose against it when u r trying to win

but when u r trying to lose its pretty easy to lose against it

i just did it rn as an example: lichess1.org/game/export/gif/white/…

192927376337929292283737373773

10:51

If it really plays the worst moves.

It should just ignore that.

And let you take it's pawn.

Aiden Chow

@192927376337929292283737373773 ignore what?

192927376337929292283737373773

The E4 move at the start.

Aiden Chow

im playing white

i played e4

192927376337929292283737373773

Ah I see.

It seems like you're winning honestly.

Aiden Chow

@192927376337929292283737373773 well i lost in the end

192927376337929292283737373773

10:57

Well why is it rated 1,500.

If it's absolutely trash.

Aiden Chow

cuz it doesnt play rated games

it would be exploited heavily if it played rated games

cuz u can win really easily against it

so it can only play casual games

192927376337929292283737373773

But could they rate it something like 0 at least.

Like they did with Mittens.

On chess.com.

A true 0 this time.

Aiden Chow

i dont think u can play rated games against chess.com bots either

its at 1500 becuz thats the initial rating of any new account

so if it doesnt play any rated games it will obviously stay at 1500

192927376337929292283737373773

Oh.

Aiden Chow

also worstfish is not a bot made by lichess themselves, unlike chess.com bots which are made by chess.com

192927376337929292283737373773

11:01

Oh I see.

Wait who is it made by then.

Aiden Chow

u can see who made it within the account description of the worstfish account: lichess.org/@/WorstFish

192927376337929292283737373773

LICHESS IS LIBRE/FREE.

lyxal

192927376337929292283737373773

THE FSF WILL BE PROUD.

@lyxal Why do you have 1291 elo?

Didn't you say you pass 1.8k?

Or are puzzle and play ratings different?

Aiden Chow

@192927376337929292283737373773 puzzle rating is different from blitz rating

@lyxal now try losing to it lmao

lyxal

11:06

@AidenChow that was my attempt

I messed up

Aiden Chow

@192927376337929292283737373773 yea, thats one of the reasons i like lichess more, its completely free, no diamond pass or whatever its called on chess.com

lyxal

@192927376337929292283737373773 correct

Aiden Chow

@lyxal i just skimmed through the game and im not sure if that strategy is gonna work, its easiest if u take away worstfishs available options by taking most of its pieces, then forcing worstfish to checkmate u with pawns

192927376337929292283737373773

Hmm

192927376337929292283737373773

11:37

@emanresuA I am going to watch it just out of morbid curiosity.

192927376337929292283737373773

11:51

I am pretty sure the video itself is satirical.

Considering how it's presented and how one of the top-liked comments is pinned.

Aiden Chow

12:24

@192927376337929292283737373773 u do realize that u pinged a msg that was sent two years ago right

192927376337929292283737373773

@AidenChow yes. Is that a sin?

Aiden Chow

@192927376337929292283737373773 well i wouldnt do it, if it were me i would be extremely annoyed to get a ping notification just to see that its some random msg i sent a long time ago. its also kinda confusing to just bring up some old msg out of the blue that has nothing to do with the current conversation

search up "necroposting"
