You might want to try the Matias Ergo Pro. I switched to it after 15 years on the MSFT Natural 4000. I still slightly prefer the 4000's layout and wrist rest, but the overall typing experience on the Matias is much better. http:&#x2

Yes, but it took 20 years for Kasparov to find that grace. After losing game 2 of the 1997 match to Deep Blue, he accused the IBM team of cheating, by allowing a human grandmaster to override DB at a critical moment in the game. He repeat

You might be interested in this thread from a few weeks ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14341623 For me, the most helpful comment in that discussion was a link to this paper, written by the WebAssembly designers.

My Lichess & ICC ratings are typically within 50 points of each other. It's the same for a friend of mine who plays on both servers, too.

You might also add the condition that best-move(deep-search) != best-move(shallow-search). IMO this is what really makes a move surprising - it looks bad, but is good. Btw, I've never seen Rxd4!! from Kasparov-Topalov described as a &

I've had one for 3 months and highly recommend it! It's pretty close to my dream keyboard - a tenkeyless version of the Microsoft Natural 4000 with mechanical switches.

Yep, Rudy's was great 15-20 years ago, but their quality has plummeted as they've expanded. (Now 37 locations, according to your link.) As Aaron explains in the article, it's difficult to source the best brisket in high volu

Great! After thinking about it some more, I think I understand why the graphs are flatter than I expected. There are differing degrees of difficulty in tactical mistakes. When a 1500-player blunders a pawn or piece, it's often resol

These results surprised me. I expected a much wider gap in correct move % between a 1500-player and grandmaster. It'd be interesting to see if the slope of the graph is steeper for minor blunders that reduce the evaluation by less tha

Chess opening theory is the result of ~150 years of mostly human effort. Grandmasters do use computers to assist with opening preparation, but it's certainly not the case that computers have completely rewritten the opening books. In

Game 6 was the turning point of the match. Carlsen made a horrific blunder, and if Anand had noticed it, he very likely would have won and taken a 1-game lead in the match. Instead he lost, giving Carlsen a 1-game lead. http://

It wasn't even going into today's game - Carlsen had been one point ahead since game 6. That's why Anand rolled the dice with that risky exchange sacrifice - with only 2 games left, he was running out of time to catch up.
