#chesspunks I installed @LeelaChessZero and the fantastic Nibbler GUI by fohristiwhirl. What is special is that it gives you access to the very way Lc0 'thinks' about the position, e.g. win probability and not 'pawn score'. here is a mini tutorial on how to install it 👇 1/10

During 2019, Qualification Commission (QC) has received a lot of suggestions that #FIDE should allow shorter games to be rated. QC has created a questionnaire to make a more informed decision. You can find it and respond here fide.com/component/content/a… #FIDErating #FIDE #survey

Apparently it's the richest match in chess... – at Lambeth, London

One is reluctant to say that the battle for promotion to the holy grail of LLD1 is reaching a dramatic conclusion, but one persistently hears rumours of tickets for the last round of matches being exchanged for Champions League Final and Wimbledon centre court VIP passes.

So I don't pay much attention to elo ratings these days, but a friend just made me aware of the new April list. When I retire it will be nice to say that I was (briefly) number 1 in the UK :)

Leela has White down 10-9 in its final White game of the match in game 99. It all comes down to this. I used to select the openings for the computer world championship for fairness, position type, and diversity, but we never had a SuperFinal this aggressive and brutal #SuperFinal
