Fat Fritz 2 was released. But what do we see on lie-chess.org (lichess.org)? We see this post: https://lichess.org/blog/YCvy7xMAACIA8007/fat-fritz-2-is-a-rip-off This post is so stupid, it even doen't have any proofs! Lichess is also banning developers of strong chess engines - for example I was banned. Lichess want's to do that again and ban Fat Fritz 2 developers. I apologize that Fat Fritz 2 is better than Stockfish and Lc0, and I'm ready to play a friendly match of QCP Chess Engine and Fat Fritz 2. We'll show lichess moderators The Truth about chess engines. We don't let them to lie.

Organisation and rules of tournament: There are N bots playing in the tournament (People can also join if they want, human gets some bonuses) (Read about human bonuses on the forum) First Round: K+1 bots play First Round, N-K-1 bots don't play it. K+1 bots are sorted by lower rating, so weak bots play more games than strong bots. N-K should be 2 in power (So 1,3, 7, 15, 31, etc. N-K-1 bots don't play First Round) First Round is a 10+5 tournament, played in round system. Second Round: Then, Winner of First Round plays with other N-K-1 bots, and N-K is a 2 in power, so the count of players in Second Round is 2 in power (4, 8, 16, 32, etc.). And Second Round is played in knockout system, loser gets removed from the tournament. Tournament pairs will be published on the forum! Third Round: Winner of Second Round play a match vs the highest rated bot in all tournament (If those bots aren't the same account, and if the Winner of Second Round is the highest rated bot, it becomes the winner of the tournament.) Match is 8 games 10+5, 4 games as white and 4 games as black for each bot.

I was analyzing my old TriBOS code, and I realized, that I cannot change 2-bit system to 3-bit. Also, changing 10-bit to 3-bit is hard too. TriBOS converted 2-bit to 3-bit with a classical method, and 10-bit to 9 bit with classical methon and then to 3-bit. Now I simplfied connection of 3-bit and 2-bit, and I think is was a great idea. Now TriBOS converts 3-bit to 4-bit with classical methon, and then 4-bit to 2-bit! It is 16% faster! I think, if I rewrite TriBOS with C/C++, I could programm special micro-processors with trinary logics!

What is TriBOS?

Comments

It is a simply Python-coded emulator of low-lewel logics in 3-bit system. Is has a virtual "processor" that can calculate simple operations, memory, and two cryptoalgorythms. You can use those funcritons to code something intresting, but it is quite hard. - Chess player on Jan. 24, 2020, 9:44 p.m.

I think you all saw that Cardigan Chess Community has changed an owner. Sorry for not writing there, and I think, I should post some words here because they are related to computer programming. Now I am developing new cryptoalgorhytms, but they all are not safe. If algorytms used 56-bit key in 1990, now it is 192-bit. Why? Bit can be only at 2 values: 1 and 0. But if we create an algorythm, that uses trites (with analogy with bit - but it can be at 3 values: -1, 0, 1). So I need to create soft using trites instead of bits. I read some documentation, and there are no real computers using trites! All them use binary code! The last computer usint trites was "Setun-70" created in Soviet Union. So, I asked my friend, who is learning in MSU (Moscow State University) at programming courses, find some old documentation. He even took a photo of "Setun"! I read old documentations about logics in trites, and now I am coding an emulator, that emulates trinary OS. *** P.S There is only a processor of "Setun-70" on the photo!

There was a question about games. I'll post only intresting games here and I'aa say a score. All games were played on lichess. Stockfish - QCP Games Game 1: https://lichess.org/pxXWkPjU Game 2: https://lichess.org/0n3LNiAS#157 Game 3: https://lichess.org/CEa2rvZV Game 4: https://lichess.org/n8joum0b/black Game 5: https://lichess.org/wHRiFMh6 Games with win by time or draws are not posted here. Score: Stockfish - QCP 5,5-10,5 QCP WON! Lc0 - QCP Games: Game 1: https://lichess.org/yEcG45U2 Game 2: https://lichess.org/7KkfVxpY/black Game 3: https://lichess.org/v1sK28C5#177 Game 4: https://lichess.org/yiKj0NX2#137 So you can see QCP is much better at bullet becuase of calculations million positions in 0,003 sec. Lc0 - QCP 7-9 QCP WON QCP - Komodo https://lichess.org/Bf8vRL8z/black#76 In that position, old version (2019 year) of Komodo had a bug in that position and the engine crushed. I think engines shouldn't crush durina a game, so it is a fair game with QCP in winners. Score: Komodo - QCP 0,5 - 1,5 QCP WON The Ensemble - QCP: All 10 games were with QCP in winners, you can see them here: https://lichess.org/IoKrJxlT And 9 more Score: TheEnsemble - QCP 0-10 QCP WON!

Stockfish 10 got beaten by QCP. Lc0 lost a match too. QCP won a match vs Komodo. TheEnsemble got crushed by QCP with a score of 10-0. What next? I am going to continue training QCP, and you can do it too. Unfortunately, I cannot give you QCP becuase now it is private chess engine. But you can download SugarNN by the link: https://github.com/Zerbinati/SugaR-NN . Then, download files experience.bin and pawngame.bin (I'll upload them here, you will see them in "View files"). Rename experience.bin to book1.bin, pawngame.bin to book2.bin .Then you need chess GUI "Arena" installed. If you have "Arena", create an engines match and only wait. Sugar-NN generates training files, please, share then with me here.

Did you see I've deleted my chess engine from "Files" page? It is all because I have a problem with chess engine, and now nobody can get it. Month ago, developer of chess engine Zevra (2400 Elo) asked me to prove that I have all copyright licenses to my chess enigne. Unfortunately, I cannot license my engine under GPL. Now it is unlicensed. Also, developer of Zevra said my engine is a fully copy. In first version, I was only studying machine learning and used Stockfish as a base. In the second version, I released all code by myself, using all my machine learning skills. And now I am rewritting code to create 3rd version.

"I consider that analysis of one's own games is the main method by which a chess player can improve, and I am convinced that it is impossible for a player to improve without having a critical understanding of his own games. Of course, this does not mean that one need not concern oneself with other aspects of chess training. It is necessary to study the opening, the endgame and the middlegame; it is extremely useful to study the games of strong players, etc. But by taking our own games as examples we can generally learn rather more." – Artur Yusupov

As black is weak on the g-file, precisely on the g8-square, white maneuvers the knight and rook in order to give a pretty arabian checkmate with 1.Nf6+! Kh8 [only move] and 2.Rg8# - KaosAquarius on Dec. 10, 2019, 6:25 p.m.

"Do not mind losing, for it is only by learning that you will improve, and by losing, if you use the knowledge you gained, you will improve rapidly. If you play with a much better player, so much more likely that you will learn. Any ordinary man can learn a great deal of chess just as of music, art or science, if he cares to devote his time and attention to study of the game." – José Capablanca

"FishInD" project failed. I tried to download tools to develop it faster, but I've caught a terrible virus. Website with Clang was infected (it was official Clang website) Please, don't shutdown your antivirus and be more careful in the Internet. You can scan all links and files here: virustotal.com

Comments

No, this site: https://clang.llvm.org/ Compiled programm runs in Autorun and in System process, uses kernel32.dll and HAL.dll It is dangerous, because kernel32.dll is one of most important part in Windows. So, Clang doesn't have virus it it, but you get lots of problems and exploits in kernel32.dll - Chess player on Nov. 30, 2019, 7:51 p.m.

"A chess game is a dialogue, a conversation between a player and his opponent.

"Some things are really hard to do, almost impossible to do, like playing perfectly in extremely complicated positions. But it really bugs me when I miss things that I really shouldn't have. I am always going to make mistakes. I don't have any illusions that my understanding of chess is perfect or anything like that. It's just that I have to work on relatively simple mistakes. When I can lower the percentage of such mistakes then things are going to be much better." – Magnus Carlsen

Don't worry, Carlsen truly has proven more than enough of his worth to the chess community and no one can take that from him, a champion is a champion and even in difficult times there are lessons that help us improve and Carlsen is no exception, Wesley So recently won the 960 championship against him, but Carlsen still is a living legend and will surpass this tough period, cheers! - KaosAquarius on Nov. 5, 2019, 11:36 p.m.

Self-confidence is very important. If you don’t think you can win, you will take cowardly decisions in the crucial moments, out of sheer respect for your opponent. You see the opportunity but also greater limitations than you should. I have always believed in what I do on the chessboard, even when I had no objective reason to. It is better to overestimate your prospects than underestimate them. – Magnus Carlsen

There are no good or bad pieces in the middlegame. Mihai Suba argued with these words, in Dynamic Chess Strategy, that there are only misplaced pieces and they are a temporary problem. If one player can steadily improve the placement of his pieces, while his opponent cannot or can do so only minimally, the first player eventually will get the upper hand even if his position is structurally inferior. This is significant because we often exaggerate the value of pawn structure. Because of structure we used to automatically rate the next position [See diagram, black to play] as winning for white. He has the better pawns, the better pieces and the better of the tactics (1....Qf7; 2.Bxh7+! Kxh7??; 3.Ng5+). But only the pawn structure is lasting. After 1....g6! Black makes his bishop a bit worse but sets in motion a plan to improve almost all his pieces, with ...Qg7, ...Bd7, …Rf7, ...Raf8 and so on. In response, white needs his own plan, such as 2.Na4 and Nc5. In Marjanovic-Timman, Sarajevo 1986 white lost any claim to advantage after 2.Bb1 Qg7; 3.Kh1 Bd7; 4.Re1 Rf7; 5.Ne2 Kh8; 6.a3 Raf8. Black later carried out a remarkable new plan, ...h6, ...Be8-f7-g8 and ...g5!, that helped him win. [The Wisest Things Ever Said About Chess]

What must you specifically do to get good at chess? Study and practice. There is no way around it. You must play a lot of games both against your peers and, preferably, against people somewhat stronger than you. You must also study well-annotated games of the great masters. This way, knowing what correct, creative chess playing looks like becomes a form of pattern recognition that you will eventually apply automatically. Then, if you ever get to the point where you enjoy playing over and trying to understand fine games, I guarantee that your understanding and your playing strength will improve. You should also, especially at the beginning, study tactics, by going through and attempting to solve collections of combinations, because tactics are the basic, unique language of chess. You create winning positions with good strategy, and usually resolve them with good tactics. [Source: F. Wilson - 101 Questions on How to Play Chess]

"Winning is not a secret that belongs to a very few, winning is something that we can learn by studying ourselves, studying the environment and making ourselves ready for any challenge that is in front of us." – Garry Kasparov

I agree about Carlsen, his style is not my favorite but he's certainly the player of modern times that I respect the most, some people criticize him for being too 'dry' in combinatorial ideas, but his clear endgame technique is just great, and for that he can't be less than any other classic chess player like Kasparov, whose more combinatorial dexterity is also worth of admiration, but overall the legacy of these players, irrespective of styles, is what truly endures for us to learn and improve! - KaosAquarius on Sept. 25, 2019, 4:21 p.m.

What exactly throws beginners off in the endgame? There are two characteristics of endgames that novices find particularly confusing: First, after all the talk about how important it is to protect your king, by "tucking it safely away in a corner", away from the action in the center, in the endgame the king is a fighting piece! That's right, most successful endgame play requires that you activate your king as soon as most of the major pieces, generally the queens and one pair of rooks, are gone. Generally, you need your king to help attack you opponent's pawns and minor pieces; it is often also needed to help shepherd one of your pawns through to queen. Secondly, after all the harping on how important even a single pawn is, as it is potentially a new quen, it is a bit disconcerting to learn that there are many, many endgames which are theoretical draws despite one side being a pawn ahead! This is why it is essential to study basic endgame theory - so you can learn to win won positions and save difficult ones. [Source: F.Wilson - 101 Questions on How to Play Chess]

"Making the king secure is at least the equivalent of a strong developing move." Rudolf Spielmann, who knew a thing or two about king safety, was responding thus to the mistaken view that castling wastes a tempo that could be better used in advancing a piece. Quite the contrary: castling is the most efficient of all opening moves because it performs two functions, securing the king and developing the rook. A more valid charge of wastefulness can be made against "castling by hand", which usually means spending two king tempi to safeguard it. But it makes sense when you want the rook to remain where it is. [Source: A. Soltis, The Wisest Things Ever Said About Chess]

Solution: This position is all about latent power of the pieces through other pieces, but also an illustration of how important is to manage tempo in a decisive position, as can be noticed there's three white pieces aiming at h7-square, the d3-bishop, h2-rook and h6-queen, however the only piece with an immediate action on h7-square is the queen, but to add attacking pressure on such square with something like Ng5?? 'threatening checkmate' or Nxf7+ just wouldn't work because the queen is attacked and black can simply reply ...Bxh6 winning the queen and also pinning the knight thus stopping any fork idea by white and winning the initiative; retreating the queen is considerable, as the position would still be favorable for white although it would be a missed chance because the optimal activity of white asks for a sharp tactical finesse as 1.Qxh7+!!, a decisive sacrifice, and black might as well resign already because after ...Kxh7 the neat finishing move is the pretty looking 2.hxg6!# that unleashes the active potential of the other pieces focused on the h7-square, the pawn supported by the e3-bishop in combination with the h2-rook are give double check along the diagonal and file, as the king is enclosed by this simultaneous attack the game ends in checkmate! - KaosAquarius on Sept. 21, 2019, 5:39 p.m.

Exact calculation is, generally speaking, needed more in defensive positions than in attack. This counter-intuitive truth comes from Rudolf Spielmann in The Art of Sacrifice in Chess. A modern version, from Vladimir Kramnik on e3e5.com, is that calculation is "far more important in defense than in attack." He added: "In order to succeed in defense one must be a brilliant tactician and see all the possibilities and all the tactical points of the opponent. I'd even suggest such a 'seditious' idea that the attack is a more positional technique than the defense. The attack can be based on general considerations while the defense must be specific." (A.

Black to play and execute the ancient arabian mate, the oldest checkmate, in 4 moves! More info about this pattern here: https://www.chesskid.com/article/view/the-oldest-checkmate-ever-the-arabian-mate
image for feed

Comments

The solution is: 1....Rf2+ clearing f3 for the knight and pressing the white king to retreat, of course white doesn't block with Rg2 because that would just lose the rook and the game sooner than soon; 2.Kh1 now the king is totally restricted, but to give the checkmate the knight must be brought into the action! so black plays the brilliant ...Rh2+!!, sacrificing the rook and leaving white with no other choice than 3.Kxh2 so black can now play ...Nf3+! as it is check with a knight, it can't be blocked, so either the knight must be captured or the king has to move, in this case the only move available is 4.Kh1 as the rook on g8 blocks any the escape squares of the white king through g3 or g2, and now as both pieces, the f3-knight and g8-rook are focusing their force at g1 the grand finale of the combination is ...Rxg1#, delivering this fantastic arabian checkmate, gg! - KaosAquarius on Sept. 14, 2019, 10:43 p.m.


This checkmate sequence comes from the spiritual ancestor of chess in its early setup known as shatranj, and its most powerful pieces were the knight and the rook, so the most usual way to give checkmate was through the maneuvering of these pieces, here's some more info about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatranj https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate_pattern#Arabian_mate - KaosAquarius on Sept. 16, 2019, 12:26 a.m.

White to play and deliver checkmate! From the game Alekhine - Freeman, New York 1924
image for feed

Comments

Solution: In this position the tactical themes of the pin and the deviation outstand for their dynamic force on the opponent's camp, since the black knight is pinned by the e8-rook thus restricting its mobility, the coordination of white pieces, knight and queen are threatening checkmate on g7 so the knight can't get to g6 to block the threat due to the pin, and the black queen must keep guarding g7, however white's queen is just undefended as it stands on g5, urging white to play actively as the position demands so as to not lose the advantage, therefore what Alekhine played here is 1.Nh6+!! pressing black to either capture the knight [Not with the pawn of course, because of the pin once again, but with the queen instead], or move his king to the only available square h8, which he doesn't because then the f8-knight would be left unprotected and white would simply capture it with checkmate, so the true idea of this maneuver unfolds after black captures the knight with ...Qxh6; and now it is noticeable how the black queen that was defending the h4-d8 diagonal has been deviated from its labor allowing white to conclude the game flawlessly with 2.Rxf8+ sacrificing his rook and also attracting the king to his finale after ...Kxf7 only move, as the rook controlled the entire 8th rank and 3.Qd8# dispensing with all available material force to achieve a stunning climax in great tactical style, gg!!! - KaosAquarius on Sept. 14, 2019, 11:23 p.m.

"The player with advantage must attack" - Wilhem Steinitz was famous for making rules. Some became the foundation of how the game is played. Others couldn't even be followed successfully by Steinitz himself. One of his most famous rules -which is known as Steinitz's Law- is based on the premise that sound attacks stem from positional advantages. Your attack cannot succeed if you don't have an edge to justify it, he said. This was brilliant and original. It replaced the older view that attacks succeeded or failed because of the attacker's genius or lack of it. Steinitz could have stopped there. But he added a guide to action: The player who obtains that edge not only has the right but the obligation to attack. If he doesn't, his advantage is bound to evaporate. [Source: A. Soltis, The Wisest Things Ever Said About Chess]

Yes, Steinitz love making rules. Now some GMs like making rules too. But I don't think "The player with advantage must attack" it right. You can make your advantage larger in two ways: 1. Attacking 2.Position play style, where you make your pieses' place better and better every move! - Chess player on Sept. 15, 2019, 10 a.m.


Your idea is understandable, but I think also that it is not just simply a generic rule in pursuit of an invisible initiative, but a natural law of the game, that's why it strictly says that only the player with the advantage can attack, which implies that attack can only be possible with a positional justification to unfold the active potential of a player's coordinated pieces, it doesn't mean 'to get advantage you must attack', however I agree that improving the pieces activity is a valid approach to acquire an advantage, but what is to be done when a player's pieces are already better than his opponent's pieces? keep improving them? It would be uninspiring, if not mediocre to say the least, to expect mistakes from the opponent to get an advantage while just optimizing pieces, so the quest for initiative with better pieces must be carried out through the principle of attack, as Lasker once stated 'position play complements combination [attacking] play', which is a preface to Steinitz's idea, but in general I think your criterion is alright in reference to positional style. Regards. - KaosAquarius on Sept. 15, 2019, 11:35 a.m.


Yes, I am love positional playing more than attacking. Attacking includes sacfrices, and some of them can be incorrect. - Chess player on Sept. 17, 2019, 6:19 p.m.
