Re: DGT Centaur: My findings and modifications
Hi all, I’ve had my Centaur since Monday and before I played a game I copied the micro sd card. I played a game on the default friendly level and won a long 70 move game which I thoroughly enjoyed. Then I wanted to see how it ticks and whether I could connect to it. I made slots for the micro sd co...

Note also that lc0 has played more than 220 million games to reach this strength. Stockfish, in a certain sense, plays from a priori principles. So while stockfish crunches numbers in the game itself, lc0 has crunched them previously to learn the game. Conceptually, it's totally different type of c...

I've been playing with Chess Android app and the MCGE. For me, the response seems very laggy. I make a move on the board and it takes 2 or three seconds to register in the app. I have not experienced any such lag with the many devices I used to test playing with Chess for Android on the Millennium ...

Re: MCGE Link - Any luck with Chess for Android?
I have struggled with this app. It has a quirky interface, but does potentially work pretty well. It does work very well with MCGE - you don't even need to pair it. The trick has been to find engines that can be weakened enough to give me a chance, as well as the very limited UI opening book in the...

Re: Guess Who Wrote This?
There is nothing worse in life than searching for something ( chess related of course) and finding something that I had posted 10, 15 or 20 years ago. The internet needs a more permanent trash bin. The article is very well written, and a fun read. Mike, did you author the article or just paste it? ...

It had arrived Friday, but that was too soon before Christmas , and having now been successfully married for the last 40 years, I would have p...

I had actually seen thi...

Hi, The game Gelfand - Wang Yue. Indeed the strongest Knight h8 move. Gelfand analyzed in 2010, Shipov in 2017. The engines do not see this move, and do not correctly analyze this position. Advantage for white, it's not a draw. Black has a lost endgame. Download game analysis with Gelfand comments....
