Opponents aborting when in a lost position

0 Upvotes

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but I've had it happen twice today alone. I was in a dominant position, deep into two games, and then suddenly, game aborted! I first had this happen on TakeTakeTake (Lichess backend), and then I switched directly to Lichess and had it happen there too. Cheaters cheating?

Massive explosion in cheaters, has a new plug in come out or something? Instant, best engine play out of nowhere 1 minute into every single blitz game

Does Lichess puzzle difficulty actually adapt to your rating?

​

Has anyone else noticed this with Lichess puzzles?

I've been having fun doing puzzles consistently for the last few weeks.

I'm consistently getting puzzles rated around 1830–1890, even as my own puzzle rating fluctuates. I solve enough of them correctly that I'd expect my rating to gradually increase, but instead, the gains seem to get smaller and smaller, while a single mistake can cost me more and more points as the rating gap grows.

Eventually, I end up back where I started, despite solving plenty of puzzles correctly.

Is the only solution to set the difficulty higher manually?

Why are all of my opponents WAY stronger than me?

0 Upvotes

To give some context, I only started playing chess a couple of days ago. Since I registered on lichess, I've played some games, and somehow every single one of my opponents had at least 700 games played. One even had 7k. How is this supposed to work? Obviously they absolutely DESTROY me since I basically never played chess in my life before... What am I supposed to do? Should I just keep losing until I start getting paired with people like me?

I joined the marathon and got paired with 2200 FM. He played right into the only opening I play as black the elephant and I beat him in 11 moves ! The guy is rated 900 points higher than me. I'm still in shock. The whole thing was all prep. https://lichess.org/game/38VjlWJJ/black

Privacidad - Archivos de partidas

2 Upvotes

Tanto Lichess como Chesscom graban y publican implacablemente todas las actividades de cada usuario. Las partidas por puntos es lógico que sean públicas, pero ¿las prácticas contra el ordenador??? ¿Las partidas amistosas, sin puntaje, entre amigos?

¿Hay alguna forma de practicar en forma privada, o de borrar partidas de práctica, por ejemplo contra el ordenador?

Made a little thing for playing friends OTB on Lichess

Hey everyone,

I work on WhitePawn, a small app for electronic boards, mostly in my free time. I just added something I've been wanting for myself for a long time, and I'd be really grateful for some honest feedback.

I love playing my friends on a real board, but I also wanted those games on Lichess, each of us on our own account. Logging both accounts in on one phone never felt right to me, I wouldn't want my friend typing their Lichess password into my phone.

So I tried this:

  • You both use your own phone, signed in to your own Lichess
  • The phones find each other over Bluetooth, you challenge your friend, they accept on their phone
  • One phone is connected to the board and reads the moves, each phone sends its own player's moves to Lichess

It ends up as a normal Lichess game, rated or casual, with analysis afterwards, through the official Lichess Board API. You need one electronic board and internet on both phones.

If you want to try it, thats the WhitePawn Website: https://whitepawn.app and its available for Android and iOS supporting all major Chessboard Brands like DGT, Millennium, Chessnut and so on.

I'm sure there are rough edges, and maybe I'm the only one who needs this. But if it's useful for someone here, that would make me really happy. Any feedback, good or bad, is very welcome. Thanks for reading!

Bro who IS this guy 😭

Imagine getting absolutely cooked by someone named KillChessLol and realizing bro just played the cleanest game of your life.

No fancy username, no ego, just straight up deleting people off the board 💀

Mfs out here calculating 20 moves ahead while I'm still wondering why my queen is hanging.

Lowkey feels like a Chess.com dev forgot to patch an AI 💀

Either this dude is an undiscovered genius or the funniest chess anomaly ever.

KillChessLol lore goes crazy ngl.
