  • Lisolve: Exploiting the Lichess Puzzle System
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Mar 2025
    - The client is also responsible for telling the server whether you have solved the puzzle or not.

    However, the client does the 3rd step by just sending a request with some formdata, which has a key called "win". Basically, the client does not send your sequence of moves to the server to have the server verify them but directly sends whether you solved the puzzle or not.

    Many, including me, have discovered this bug independently and tried to report it to Lichess. I've tried contacting Lichess 2-3 years back when I originally discovered this, but Lichess has always responded with "puzzles aren't competitive; exploiting them doesn't matter." (https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/issues/16393#issuecommen...)

    Admittedly, they are correct: puzzle rating doesn't really matter. So, here's a little web app I made to exploit this. You just need to copy and paste your LILA2 cookie from Lichess. Requests are made through a proxy to set the Origin header.

  • Implementing zen mode in React
    1 project | dev.to | 29 Jan 2025
    Zen mode is a popular UX pattern that creates a distraction-free experience for application users. It's a simple approach where part of application interface is hidden on user's demand. I have encountered this mode in applications where the main functions are based on focus and tranquility. One of them is Lichess, the second chess platform in the World. I am a chess enthusiast and I am trying (with poor results) to develop my skills in this direction. If you're a chess enthusiast too, feel free to challenge me to a game. Lichess has a Zen mode, and I thought I'd write a post about how you can implement it in your own React app.

    https://lichess.org is an excellent open source chess server with plenty of learning resources for pure beginners.

    As you progress learning resources sadly get more and more expensive indeed. Not to mention the cost of tournaments (travel and accomodation expenses add up very quickly).

    You don't have a good grasp of data analysis then. You used the data to tell yourself a story "the experts are biased!, not to gain a real deeper understanding".

    This story should already be suspect because the experts, when commentating, had access to the data you looked at. The eval bar was always there. But they interpreted it. Your assumption seems to be that by calculating some trivial statistics and not actually interpreting the data you gain a complementary "neutral" view. But that's nonsense. It's not neutral it's biased towards the trivially quantifiable/calculable.

    What's more, you didn't even try to understand the data in front of you in any meaningful way. E.g. by putting it into a historical context [1].

    In principle an in depth data analysis of the match might be interesting, but I doubt it would reveal much beyond what the experts saw when they looked at the data and the actual games.
