Update your ChessMonitor app and let us know what you think of the new live broadcast feature (powered by Lichess!!🙏)
With fixed transpositions (finally,jeez) we now have a healthy backend to continue building the only website and app you will ever need for opening prep!
@jatinmahajan712@anishgiri Hi! Thanks for reporting. What's the problem exactly? It doesn't go into the next move when you press it? Would be great if you can provide some more information as I'm not able to reproduce it. Thanks! -Thomas
Candidates prep requires a team, massive resources and above all a lot of time.
Winning the Candidates, it appears, requires more than that, I don't know.
Beating the Candidates winner in blitz requires 10 mins of prep.
10 mins of prep is best spent with my ChessMonitor app.
@adjorno@anishgiri What we could do is to include Stockfish without (NNUE) weights and load the weights later. That's how the Lichess app does it. But this is just delaying the download and regarding UX you cannot start the engine immediately but are instead waiting for a download on first use..
@adjorno@anishgiri I don't know how that program works, but in general desktop apps work differently. Most don't include the engines and you have to install it yourself and then the engine is launched in a separate process. But that's not how apps work.
@adjorno@anishgiri Most of that is the latest Stockfish 18 engine which is included to analyze games. The weights alone make up about 110MB. (Thomas/developer here)
Level up!
Another @chessmonitor guess the moves challenge.
Guess the top 5 moves in this Queen's Gambit Declined tabiya in order of their popularity in the Masters Database (all recorded games).
