Sort by:

are you fine holding off resolving this till tomorrow @Weezing ? I dozzed off but can replay the half of the broadcast i missed early tomorrow and help resolve it

@diadematus Definitely, I usually do that to give people time to provide evidence for yes.

@Weezing ended up putting myself through the entire 2nd half of the stream and Danya was incredibly restrained, only namedropping Petrosian and Sherlock Holmes so unless otherwise this should resolve NO

resolves yes @Weezing

bought Ṁ138 Caruana wins against... NO

My 'lock of the day' is Fabi is absolutely not beating Pragg in that structure. Literally zero chance. So if Gukesh or Naka somehow win, he's out

bought Ṁ31 Answer #d97aabf5bccb NO
There are 2 sets of doubled pawns on one of the boards
bought Ṁ335 There are 2 sets of ... YES

Pragg-Fabi has pawns on c6, c5, c4 and c2

There is a game with at least a 100 centipawn advantage (+1 or -1, depth 30) by move 16
bought Ṁ10 There is a game with... YES

what depth are we using here?

bought Ṁ10 Answer #b1aeb1333b15 NO

@diadematus depth 30

sold Ṁ9 There is a game with... YES

@Weezing stockfish depth 30 on lichess says Nepo would have a +1.0 advantage if Hikaru plays Nf4 but it drops to +0.8 at depth 43.

@diadematus there's a way to replay the stockfish jumps anyway so it's nbd

@diadematus yea that's normal that it changes, that's why I always want to have specified depth for this stuff. But he didnt play it yet.

bought Ṁ79 There is a game with... YES

@Weezing i had to double check the meaning of "by move 16" but this counts, right?

@diadematus Not sure, "by X" usually means it must be true when X happens and this only happened on second move on move 16. Maybe N/A?

@Weezing "by" is quite ambiguous e.g https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/87002/what-does-by-mean-if-we-are-talking-about-a-date but in the case was the intention to mean "before"?

@Weezing chatgpt and claude are both in agreement (that chess moves are counted in pairs)

@diadematus Yea, it seems like it's confusing, that's why I prefer to N/A.

bought Ṁ66 Answer #9244de10f626 YES

@Weezing yeah, N/A makes sense
