Been on a huge ginge binge recently! Simon, instead of the crafty bishop sacrifice, why not just a simple Qe5+ which would either win the rook or at least remove castling rights after opponents queen blocks? What did I miss here?
@terrobert8 ай бұрын
queen would block and his king was still on that file

@MartsMcfly8 ай бұрын
But then Qxe7 and the king has to take back, losing castling rights. Thought that was definitely a better idea than the bishop sac. Guess it's not as "exciting" play but I was surprised Gingey boy didn't even mention it as an idea. @@terrobert

The algorithm does calculate based on your current rating. When I analyze some of my good OTB games, I get a rating of 2400-2450. My best games online only evaluates to 1950-2050 because the computer knows my online rating is no higher than 1400. Simon, thanks for uploading another Speedrun Video.

@JeffPHamm8 ай бұрын
Fun game. And yes, the Elo estimator factors in the rating of both players (if you edit the values in a PGN file, say drop them both to 800 or raise them both to 3000, the estimated rating will drop or rise accordingly).

At 11:43 did you check what happens after Re8? I see that the knight will pick up the queen and then the rook after he takes your queen, but I'm wondering if you actually calculated that and you didn't mention it (seems quite important) or just relied on intuition with that queen and knight configuration?
@josketobben8 ай бұрын
I can't be sure of course, but looks straightforward enough for a gm to trivially spot. I think there was just a lot of other things to talk about.

com's rating estimate thing does calculate based on your current rating. It's a completely meaningless number for this reason among several others. You could make a smurf account at 400, play a perfect game and the thing would probably say you played at 800 level or some nonsense because it won't give too far above the account's rating.
@DeLunny8 ай бұрын
Yeah, it's a really odd feature. Like the basic idea is great but the way it's implemented is meaningless. Maybe it would be too difficult to do it properly, I don't know.
@bwright2278 ай бұрын
I guess something of value you could take away is whether you're playing above or below your current rating.
@Odrox8 ай бұрын
Yeah, Remember the Mittens bot had a rating of (1) and it always gave it low estimated rating like 1300 even though it was playing very strong.

Yes, the rating it gives you is based on your current one. I played a 100% accuracy game in 11 moves the other day (1st time ever!) and it told me I'm a 2000. My actual blitz rating is 1300.
@jaybingham37115 ай бұрын
1:00 Of course, you're not supposed to start with "whatever C.c gives you." Without a C.c approved speed-run account, the TOS require people to start new/additional accounts at their actual level. Because this is never adequately/frequently covered by approved speed-runners in their videos, there now a lot of unapproved speed-runs happening on the site. Which, again, is a major violation of C.c rules. It's called sandbagging. If you've only played on Lichess and you've gotten to 1500 in rapid and now you want to create a new account at C.c, you are required to notify admin and have them start you at your current strength.
