this looks so cool. that being said, almost all LLMs suck at playing chess except maybe gemini-- the games will be abysmal.

irony alert: @lichess.org exits X citing toxicity, and the platform's response? a tsunami of hate proving EXACTLY why they're leaving 🤦‍♂️

it doesn't come off as a surprise to me anymore that most of the high-profile celebrities use their wealth and influence to act inhumanely, hiding behind performative activism to shield themselves and each other. what a despicable bunch of people honestly.

saw this reddit post today and couldn't stop crying. suddenly that old clip of the 13 yo Murzin crying on the board after a loss made so much sense. i will always be rooting for him.

If you’re commentating a FIDE event in the future and you’re explaining the format to your audience, you have to add some caveats, right? You have to say, this is the *planned* format, but FIDE has a history of changing the rules after the games have started, so we’ll see what happens.

the jeans controversy feels so forced. like how did wearing jeans become "a matter of principle" for magnus and why would FIDE not simply fine players for their first infraction and escalate only if they break the code again the next day? just bad PR for chess all over again.

Publishers aren't trying to keep AI companies from training on books. They're trying to make as much money off of it as possible. If you're an author or an academic who is against having your works trained on, publishing houses are not your allies. You're their product.

Commentators all thought it was a draw, and were talking about the tiebreaker round coming next, until Ding Liren played a move that shocked them. No, I'm not talking about the 2024 World Championship. I'm talking about the 2023 World Championship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZREv...

They all thought it was a draw...but Ding plays Rg6!

1. "chess move/moves" is blocked from the feed. 2. optimized the regex and managed to shave off 2 seconds from feed load time (sub 3.5 seconds now). 3. chess feed is now naturally populated with more chess skeeters and players (mostly based off @rprose.bsky.social starter pack and list)

none of the LLMs i have tested so far are good at playing chess. but apparently that changes with Gemini (estimated blitz elo of 2820). hopefully chess engines will be able to explain their POV clearly someday while making those super bizarre moves.

A librarian that previously worked at the British Library created a relatively small dataset of bsky posts, hundreds of times smaller than previous researchers, to help folks create toxicity filters and stuff. So people bullied him & posted death threats. He took it down. Nice one, folks.

daniel issued an apology but the truth is that even a kid can download all your posts from here with a simple script and most likely they already have. the only "opt-out" that works here is to remove all your posts and never be here.

does either of @chess.com or @lichess.org offer the ability to import custom chess sets. i bet it could be a really cool feature. i really want to use tiny magnus PNGs as my pawn army.

This is my 8 yr old who carries a chess board around and reads this chess book at bedtime doing the exercises in it for ‘fun’. She also thinks I do not know how to play chess. Parenting is a v humbling experience.

which are some chess accounts (chess clubs, chess news portals, chess journalists, chess content poasters) that post exclusively about chess? i will add them to the chess feed so that each of their posts always populate the feed.

the chess feed should be much faster to load now and you can easily feature on the feed using #chessfeed if enough people use it, it should cut through most "chess" (the word) related noise.
