I read the post after visiting the link and for some reason I was 90% sure it was AI generated.

I don't want to be rude but IMHO part of the training is choosing the right tools for the task


ok, great, but there are hundred other ways to say it better

This is my new default search engine :) Awesome work! I am just curious about your business model


If I played against a master, he or she would capture a lot of pieces, and I would only capture a few. Can it be concluded that I have a higher Elo rating than him/her?


That's the thing: a master would beat you without taking a lot of your pieces. They'll play for position, rather than material advantage. Your pieces will be less of a threat, and won't be guarding the squares they need to guard. Taking material would just slow them down.

They might even just let you take pieces, since you don't know what pieces are involved in the attack and which aren't. There's even a name for it: "pawn munching". It's not a compliment.


Hi! I'm the developer of this little markup language and of the associated parser. I'd love to read your thoughts.
