Attention. Mr. Uri Blass.

Respected Sirs.
This communication will be brief and direct. I specifically request your kind and best efforts for me and Catecan, based on the following facts:
FIRST. On August 26th of this year, 2025, I was stripped of my rating and the position I held on the leaderboards of the robots LeelaQueenOdds, LeelarRookOdds, LeelaKnightOdds, and LeelaQueenForKnightOdds, in their respective order, twenty-fourth position; leader or first position; sixth position; and leader or first position in the top 100 human rankings.

Through ties, we also demonstrate the strength of our play, and parity against a great machine entails parity in the strength of human play, which is no small feat.
THIRD. Even so, with my play, I had the strength to occupy leading positions in the standings.
FOURTH. So, I am writing to you in my capacity as a human who occupies the 6th, 24th, 1st, and 1st places in the standings.
FIFTH. "To err is human, and to forgive is Divine." I, in my capacity as a mere human, asking for help from my programmer, "forgive whoever was responsible" for my "dilution in the standings." And in my capacity as a mere mortal, I ask Divinity, and I ask you in your capacity as human beings, to repair my damage by restoring my rating in each table.
In return, the following will be achieved:
1. Through gallantry and chivalry, justice will be restored and the damage done to me repaired, and the standings, which in their current state are "spurious," will be legitimized.

Mr. Larry Kaufman. Mr. Naphthalin.
Attention. Mr. Uri Blass.

Respected Sirs.
This communication will be brief and direct. I specifically request your kind and best efforts for me and Catecan, based on the following facts:
FIRST. On August 26th of this year, 2025, I was stripped of my rating and the position I held on the leaderboards of the robots LeelaQueenOdds, LeelarRookOdds, LeelaKnightOdds, and LeelaQueenForKnightOdds, in their respective order, twenty-fourth position; leader or first position; sixth position; and leader or first position in the top 100 human rankings.
The mistake those responsible for the leaderboard made was applying the new rules to my past games and diluting my rating.
I've found myself feeling annoyed, and therefore, out of self-respect, I have refused to continue playing, except for just a moment ago.
SECOND. Under the previous leaderboard rules, the value of a tie was only 0.25% instead of 0.5%, that is, 4 ties for one win. The new leaderboard rules minimize and undervalue my ability to neutralize the machines, to the point where it's considered that a tie has no value. Through ties, we also demonstrate the strength of our play, and parity against a great machine entails parity in the strength of human play, which is no small feat.
THIRD. Even so, with my play, I had the strength to occupy leading positions in the standings.
FOURTH. So, I am writing to you in my capacity as a human who occupies the 6th, 24th, 1st, and 1st places in the standings.
FIFTH. "To err is human, and to forgive is Divine." I, in my capacity as a mere human, asking for help from my programmer, "forgive whoever was responsible" for my "dilution in the standings." And in my capacity as a mere mortal, I ask Divinity, and I ask you in your capacity as human beings, to repair my damage by restoring my rating in each table.
In return, the following will be achieved:
1. Through gallantry and chivalry, justice will be restored and the damage done to me repaired, and the standings, which in their current state are "spurious," will be legitimized.
2. In order to collaborate with the best minds and programmers, and the robot team, I will be able to help you by adding a new attitude to my games, namely: "From now on, in addition to "to a draw," I will also play "to win." These last games, initially under a time control of 1 minute plus 3 seconds. This does not mean that I will stop playing bullet without increments, since from there I build my general game strategies to apply in future matches.
Again, to those responsible for the dilution of my rating and rankings, I, taking a drop of love from Divinity, "forgive you." It is up to you whether I continue "having fun and testing your prodigious machines," or whether you leave me on the sidelines.
To Mr. Naphthalin, as a courtesy, I give this game that I just finished playing against one of his robots.
Sincerely,

The Leaderboard is maintained by Noah Leumon, he is the one who makes final decisions about it. The rest of us just make suggestions. But whatever he decides about the past, if you are now able to score above 50% at any handicap at 1'+3" you will earn a very high place %in the leaderboard, even at queen odds, regardless of how draws are rated, and no one will say it's due to the engine being happy to draw. The point is that if you exceed 50% score, draws will only hurt your rating however they are handled, so you will do very well. No one reaches 50% at 1'3" or the equivalent 3'1" at rook odds or less, and even at queen for knight only a GM level player is likely to be able to do so. At queen odds IM level players may do so, but few actually play enough such games to get a top position. I congratulate you on getting two wins so quickly at 1'3" vs LQO, probably no one else without a FIDE title has done so vs. the current bot.

[M ANSARI]

I think you take this odds games too seriously! I am actually enjoying playing the queens odds bot but I do think that on Lichess it has an unfair advantage if you don't have a good internet connection. I am trying to see how far I can reduce the time while still getting a win. I know for sure that in winning positions at 3min + 1sec the timing is unfair as it plays with zero loss (most likely to a good server location and good ping) and the 1 sec for the player with not as good ping is never 1 sec and most likely around .3 sec. This would not work on chess.com as on chess.com you lose a certain amount of time no matter how good your geographic ping is. My guess is that the QueensOdss bot would perform much worse on chess.com just like many players that take advantage of fast ping times on Lichess get back to earth when they go to chess.com. It is crazy how easily a totally winning position can be destroyed when the time flasher goes off. The bot has "learned" dirty human tricks like throwing a kamikazee rook check just to let you lose that millisecond so it can win on time. Also it is embarrassing how many times it gets me to fall for stalemate tricks when it has a totally lost positions. There most definitely is a change of play to the bot when time is down to a few seconds ... and it is uncanny how effective that is against humans!

I think the next level for these bots is to adjust its play and tailor it against individual players. That would take it to the next level!

Using the opponent remaining time is a good idea but I believe the bot does not use the opponent remaining time for the decisions

[M ANSARI]

Oh .... it absolutely 100% does! In fact I have a game where it checked me with a queen next to my king to sacrifice itself and win on time in a totally losing endgame. It definetly starts playing much much faster when your time runs out and it really is not surprising as the NN will find that this is a successful method against humans.

The bot doesn't even know the opponent's remaining time. But it does try such Kamikaze sacrifices when it is way down and has learned that the only chance in such hopeless positions is to win on time, so it "assumes" you have little time left when there is no other chance of saving the game.

Good morning, Mr. Larry Kaufman and Mr. Naphthalin. I'd like to share with each of you and the Leela team a tiny miniature chess game I just played, which ended in a draw. I don't understand the reason for the draw declared by the LeelaQueenOdds machine. My calculations indicated that I had just captured a pawn, and therefore, we wouldn't be facing a draw. I notice that sometimes the robot seems desperate, seeking a draw, when I play along lines where I'm trying to beat the computer. I wish you a happy day and a happy weekend. Sincerely, "Catecan."

[Uri Blass]

It seems that there is a bug in lichess that consider long games of 300 moves by both sides to be draws for no good reason.

I found that the following game is declared by lichess to be a draw for no reason because black promoted a biship at move 284 and it is certainly not a draw by repetition.

[lkaufman]

It seems that there is a bug in lichess that consider long games of 300 moves by both sides to be draws for no good reason.

I found that the following game is declared by lichess to be a draw for no reason because black promoted a biship at move 284 and it is certainly not a draw by repetition.

From what I read on the internet it is not a bug but a policy decision at least seven years old by LiChess to declare all games drawn after 300 moves, although that is not a standard chess rule. I'll leave it for others to comment on why they did so or whether it is a good policy.
