I never did a serious analysis of the game with engines but
I wonder what is the hard move to find for chess engines that caused some people after some analysis to say that maybe the position after 3...f4 is a draw.

23.f3

Human move (no engine suggested this move.)

23...Rh5

Rh5 is a computer move.
I see no reason for the claim human move.

Stockfish suggested 23....Rh5

It is certainly a skill, but not one that has much correlation with chess strength. Ha! That's what I've been saying about the starting positions with missing handicap pieces for the engine side all along. "The human drew against the engine after using 10 takebacks to see what it would move and fin...

Takeback odds with some amount of allowed takebacks are great to fix short-term blunders that the master can understand quickly after seeing the engine reply. It won't fix a long-lasting positional weakness, but it's obvious that takeback odds will noticeably increase the elo performance of any hum...

My question is if Carlsen need three takeback moves, how many takeback will a master rated player needs at lest 20 or he will need to replay the same game one hundredth time until he draw . Maybe Carlsen needs 20 to draw. Maybe 100 aren't enough. We can't even start to speculate because this terrai...

Really? You can't be serious. Sounds WAAAAAAYYYY too dramatic for me! :shock: :shock: :shock: It's because of this: 8/8/5kBp/7P/5K2/8/r4P2/8 b - - Found 145 tablebases 34/51 0:03 -3.45 74...Rxf2+ 75.Ke3 Rh2 76.Ke4 Rh4+ 77.Kd5 Rf4 78.Be8 Rf2 79.Bg6 Kg5 80.Ke5 Re2+ 81.Kd6 Re1 82.Kd5 Kf4 83.Bf7 Re5+ 8...

Solution: Play human vs human only...open with 1.e3 or 1.g3 and use your brain to transpose into lines of play that catch your opponent off guard. Human chess - try it, it's actually fun! :) I've been doing that with success for a long while, getting the 2100 rated players at Lichess into positions...

Just one year ago there were exciting times for opening theory. Alpha Zero and Leela were proving that many variations were playable, others were uncovered as traps that A/B engines would fall into. It was a renaissance of exploration and discovery, old books would die on the spot when facing new o...

I wonder what is the oldest hardware that there are chess engines that can use and are still at GM level at different time controls. The intel 80386 is from 1985 Are there chess engines that can use this hardware and get GM strength level? Can people modify stockfish to use this hardware(assuming i...
