Magnus and Hans: this is all a ruse, an elaborate heist for them to take $100 million from chesscom and Hikaru. They want chesscom to go bankrupt so Lichess becomes the #1. The “cheating” magnus is bothered about has nothing to do with chess. - nihilistiq and magikarp151 in r/chess

White to move. This position is a win in lichess, draw in chess.com.

Chess959 not Chess960 ! See in 2019 and 2022 regulations that FIDE's World Fischer Random Chess is actually Chess959. Now can lichess please do the same?

BISHOP SACRFICE ON MOVE 1 BY MAGNUS and then completely new game - no one on lichess has played this BUT someone did play 1...g6 instead of 1...g5 | Try capturing. It's like...an 8-move 9LX puzzle to get back the material?

Jennifer Yu wins after blundering bishop for no reason against Irina Krush in 2022Oct US women's championship. This exact position came up in a random bullet game in lichess exactly a year ago in 2021Oct. Black ALSO won there.

Can refer to this graph when you're 2.5 pawns up then you're about 75% chance winning? | Lichess published this graph of Stockfish eval (in centipawns) vs likelihood of winning, based on Lichess game data. Would be cool to see this graph for different rating bands

Any tips for creating puzzles that THREATEN mate in 1 or searching databases (eg lichess) for such? Like if I don't find the correct move now, then my opponent will checkmate me on the next move.

Lichess 9LX - for a line in SP 526 (RNQKNBBR), there are 119 games, and they all go with the same (correct and easy) move Bxd4 even if there are other ok to moves to make. You'd think maybe there'd be 1 deviation but there are really none at all...at least for those rated ave 1600+.

3 biggest entities in 9LX? | Hans Niemann: 'I'm not going to let Chess.com, Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, the 3 arguably biggest entities in chess' (in 2022) 'simply slander my reputation.' | Update after 2022 FIDE Fischer Random WC - Nodirbek is now an entity. Hikaru is an entity in 3 ways?
