I think I might have been the first to get that today. It said "played 0 times". Very humorous :)

  I just played it and it also said it was played 0 times To anyone that plays chess or would like to: lichess is an all-around wonderful site, and in my opinion the best place to play chess! It's also free, and ad free.

    What does it have over ICC?
    - iends 10y ago
      imho, ICC is the gold standard. You can get at least a simul with a master almost everyday. The GM commentary is incredible for live tournaments, and things like ICC's Game of the Week from GM Joel Benjamin are unmatched.

        ICC is also great. To each their own If you haven't yet taken a look at lichess give it a shot, it's wonderfully elegant and well-done project and there is a lot of great talent that plays there as well as wonderful features such as lichess tv, coaching, analysis and puzzles which are all free -- and there's no ads, the UX design is very click, too! Edit: I'm not a Master and don't need that level of competitiveness, but on lichess TV I am always seeing Masters playing there.

        it really depresses me that we can't do similar things in the tournament scrabble community :( there's no shortage of programmers and open-source enthusiasts; it's just the spectre of being sued by hasbro that kills everything.

        I'm not nearly good enough to play a master, and I use lichess to play Chess960 (Fischer Random). Can ICC do that? Edit: The ICC app does seem to have Chess960. However I couldn't tell where my offer went in free mode, and the UI was filled with stuff I couldn't use. Lichess's UX seems slicker. In particular: a) When you open the app you get a problem. Solve it and you get another, and another and another. b) You can ask for computer analysis after a game.

        ICC, unfortunately, was built around a desktop CLI, BlitzIn, that really suffers from the transition to mobile. BlitzIn can do both of those things but I have no idea how you would accomplish them through the app. I'll always remember BlitzIn fondly (it was the first CLI I used, before I even knew what that was) but ICC's glory days were the late 90s and early 00s.

      The biggest advantage: It's free.

    FYI, Lichess code is open source on github. https://github.com/ornicar/lila https://github.com/ornicar/lila I've referenced it for both Scala (server side) and mithril.js (client side).

  Unreal! Honestly I thought it was over for white, what a brilliant finish!
  - sago 10y ago
    Really? When did you think that? I didn't see any position I'd relish playing with Black needing a win. Let alone with Karjakin's time disadvantage. It was a cute ending, but it seemed a very comfortable draw for white from well before.

  It still says so! I don't think its updated real time.

I tried some of the problems and I am obviously a terrible chess player :) Is it possible to view the correct moves without, for a bad chess player like myself, making an exhaustive search for all possible movements?
- lumberjack 10y ago
  You can analyse the game, play against the puzzle player and set your opponent to Stockfish 8. However, this isn't as fun. I think exhaustive search is sometimes also fun if the legal move is so "hidden" that you don't even realise it's there.
