"Most “free” websites subsist by selling ads or selling user data. Others do it by putting all the good stuff behind paywalls. Lichess doesn’t do any of that and never will. Almost 6 years ago, Lichess founder Thibault explained why Lichess is free - and what that means. A lot can change in 6 years but this is one thing that hasn't and never will.

This is our unbreakable promise to you, our users:

Lichess will never have ads.
Lichess will never sell our user’s data.
Lichess will always be 100% free of charge.

Is there a havy puzzle doer over here? How does puzzle ELO compare to other categories in Lichess in your opinion? Because I suck at chess but I'm kinda good at puzzles.

For example, I am 1900 on puzzle but 1100 on rapid and 900 on blitz.

the study evaluated 42 female chess players against 42 male chess players online

the organizers made the female players believe that they were playing against both female players and male players, when in reality they were always only playing against male players

as a result they saw a 50! % decrease in performance when the female players were told that they were playing against men due to gender stereotypes

keep in mind that this reduction is present not only among games with different male players, but also in games against the very same male player

Sorry I did not know what to put for the title.

Could we modify the community's name to simply Chess so that it fits with the new way Lemmy shows communities?

And also maybe using something like this as the community logo?

Yes! you can play chess with any user of the fediverse with mastochess! Mastodon Chess control games, players and boards. And it posts, graphically, every move to both players!

Old man Magnus cant seem to keep with the young Firouzja :grinning face with smiling eyes:

If you want to use spaced repetition for studying openings, Listudy.org is the site for you :)

I created this because I like spaced repetition for learning, I have been using anki for studying for exams since years and I wanted to use the same concepts for learning chess. You can find openings to study here or create an account and upload your own studies.

I always appreciate feedback so if you have any please let me know!
