ChessBase is selling this Stockfish clone for €99.90. They have also disabled comments on all of their articles so far about Fat Fritz 2. Not a good look. Related Article on Lichess (which is also open source) about Fat Fritz 2: https:&

I have the exact same problem. When I know what needs to get done, even if it's tedious, it's not so bad to put my nose to the grindstone and work through it. But when I'm not sure how to approach a task, suddenly every dis

Weird UI effect (I'm using Chrome 59): When the blue loading bar at the top of the page completes, I get popped back to the top of the page, regardless of where I've scrolled to. Bar finishes loading after ~3-5 seconds.

The study was done with rapid games, against computers, where they discarded human losses on time. Not very confident in those results. But hopefully the researcher gets the chance to try and reproduce and use classical time controls, and

Slightly off topic, but the beauty of Switzerland was such a stark contrast to where I grew up in New Jersey that it almost made me angry. All these people, going about their daily lives in Switzerland seemingly oblivious to the fairy-tale

Pretty cool! Some unexpected results, or at least not what I guessed. "summary" as the top for C#, "SELECT" all the way down at #43 for SQL, "err" as the top for Go (I'm sure that will spawn some pleasan

In case you haven't seen it, Mirrors Edge [1] is an excellent first-person parkour/action game. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N1TJP1cxmo

How has that worked out for you? I hadn't considered profitable side-project from the buyers side until right now, curious to hear your experience.

HTC Vive owner. Mine is mostly on the shelf. I bring it out when new people visit and want to give it a try, but I haven't played otherwise. It's still a good time and the novelty isn't completely worn off...games like Cham

I discovered a few years back that chess instructional videos knock me out immediately. I used to play competitively and am genuinely interested, but have never, not even once, survived an entire 20-30min video--usually Alex Yermolinsky an

Interested in how this differs from kdb+, I see it isn't part of the performance comparison chart but seems to have some feature overlap.

Very interesting! It played very natural, "human" positional moves and defended against most obvious threats. There was one exception, where it played a move that looked normal for the position--developing a piece in the opening

Stuck in the mid 2100s. The main difference I see when I play 1800s, and most levels beneath that, is still tactics. A 1200 lets you fork their king and queen. An 1800 goes into a variation that lets you fork their king and queen 3 moves

Thats interesting, there's been many times I've stumbled on a page "organically" and wished there were reddit or HN comments I could read about it. I would use an extension that found them for me.

Misunderstood the rules initially...at first I thought you lost if you ran out of pieces on your half, but that just ends the game. The value of the pieces you capture is all that matters. Sat there for a while trying to figure out how you
