lila VS prettierlichess

Once you’re finished, we’re going to set up a lichess bot account. Head over to https://lichess.org/ and create a new account.

Lichess - Online Chess Server. Scala, TypeScript

> the player who committed more blunders lost 86% of the time

In some sense this is almost tautological. While finding an exact definition for a chess blunder isn't straightforward, here is one example from the Lichess UI:

https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/b527746b179cdde6438...

Basically, if you make a move which decreases your winning probability more than 14% over the best move, that's a blunder. But winning probability is a nonlinear function of stockfish centipawns. A drop in 100 centipawns when you're up 15 points isn't a blunder. When the game was equal, it is.

Point is, by the time you know it's a blunder you already know something about the outcome of that move, that it swung the winning probability by more than 14%. So the analysis is kind of just measuring some function of winning probability and saying that it is highly correlated with winning probability.

If you want to improve make it your goal to play the best chess you can, not increase an arbitrary number. Watch YouTube series like John Bartholomew's "Climb the Rating Ladder" for some general insight into what you might be doing wrong. Read Irving Chernev's "Logical Chess: Move By Move" to see the thinking process of high level players. Do lots of puzzles (I like lichess.org for puzzles). And always analyze your games. When you analyze make it your goal to find at least two things you could have improved.

The easiest way to play against Stockfish is perhaps on https://lichess.org/, but it's not the only chess engine that evaluates positions with a neural network.

if you actually like chess, try lichess.org, the free and open-source, no ads ever, premium alternative

We have https://prettierlichess.github.io/ though, and both vanilla Lichess and chess.com look horrible compared to it.

I also do not consider the Lichess UI to be a perfect example of good design, but I do slightly prefer it - to me chesscom interface seems to have been built for kids. I do consider them both far from beig good though, and I do use the prettier lichess extension that is truly a marvel of good design: modern, beautiful, and professional.

The best design I got is actually by using the Prettier Lichess extension. It's modern, clean, professional, beautiful, to a point it baffles me that this isn't the default on Lichess.

For anyone else wondering, it looks like it's this browser addon: https://prettierlichess.github.io/

I disagree. The app is far besser, but the website is trash imo. Everything just icons, you can't remember where what is, the UI on the sidebar and not the top. And it's generally very unorganized. Plus: you can install a browser extensions for Lichess that makes it look more modern. Using this engine you can also customize pretty much every color of the UI. There is a large library of already available themes too.

I just found out about this addon for the browser: https://prettierlichess.github.io/. It essentially completely revampts the Lichess UI while keeping 100% of the functionality. It also lets you configure all colors of basically every UI element. You can do crazy theming like this.
