Cool, now Stockfish will also rule the variants , that is one of the best servers for online games, learning, training and analysis.mcostalba wrote:https://en.lichess.org/blog/V7BNKCcAACQ ... s-learning

Is it really any good? It's easy enough to change an engine's move generator, but that doesn't necessarily give you sensible play.

Re: Awesome lichess :-)
The most challenging variant there created from SF is atomic. All the others are easy, such as racing kings, and horde. I think they are also working on making Sf play crazyhouse. This atomic Sf is pretty good.hgm wrote:Is it really any good? It's easy enough to change an engine's move generator, but that doesn't necessarily give you sensible play.

Re: Awesome lichess :-)
Indeed, a cool site, although the interface is not optimal to look at.
Just visited my first online playing chess site since maybe 10 years.
I had forgotten how to play online.
Only bad thing is that one can win their level 8 SF each and every game by just reaching move number 151.
I won couple in a row in this way in completely equal positions. SF just resigned

Maybe they took a look at the code of atomkraft? A modified SF 2.1.1 engine that plays atomic (https://github.com/golmman/atomkraft).Ferdy wrote:The most challenging variant there created from SF is atomic.

Can't wait to see SF playing crazyhouse. That would rock. If I knew how to program well I might have done it myself since I had that idea in mind since 2013 or so.

At another forum, users had compiled and competitively compared it against atomkraft, and it was said to have dominated. Take those results with a grain of salt, however. I'm not sure how much of a difference, if any, the updated Stockfish codebase they started with would have made compared to atomkraft either.

Re: Awesome lichess :-)
I play mostly in chess.com. Ping from my ISP to chess.com is around 150 ms and to lichess server is around 200-250ms. That makes a big difference to me as I play 1 min per whole game.(6 sec loss due to lag vs 10 sec loss in average of 40 moves per game):P
