Also, @ Obbe, oh.
I'll see if i can dig up the site i was talking about. May send you a PM later if you're down.
Sure. But I'm also sure you don't need to worry about your identity being compromised. I have no interest in that, and it's probably miles over my head anyway.
It's just chess. -

It takes discipline to be good at Operational Security, there is a baseline of security measures i always take. No exceptions. But really, the site i had in mind was just more convenient since i didn't need an account and could just start a game with anyone, accounts or not. -

You'll only "win" an online chess game if your opponent is worse than a computer. If you're playing against deep blue that's another story -

Years ago I used to play this held-held chess master called the Saitek Kasparov Chess Computer. It had 10 levels, and I could beat it on level 6 maybe one in every 20 or 30 games, but anything past that was impossible. Tried thousands of times, making slight variations to approach each time. Computers are pretty damned smart. -

I've played those too, don't know if it was the same model but they're certainly beatable. Chess is about exploiting weakness, same as netsec so if you know what you're doing and put the right configuration in you allow them to make a mistake.
Kasparov was a pretty good player but had exploits like everyone else. Kasparov even beat deep blue before -

I remember the games I won against it, I would make a deliberately arbitrary move right near the end, and that would do something to its logic, and it fucked up its reasoning. It didn't work all the time, but it did work. You just make a ridiculous move, and it responds with an equally ridiculous move, and then you can take advantage of it, because it "lost its thought process" and put it off guard. It could have easily wiped me out, but because I chose such a perplexing move, with conflicted so much with what it thought I would do, it fucked up its brain and played a stupid move. Then I would quickly make very aggressive moves and wipe it out all at once. -

well that's just it, if you're going to fight someone and everything is going as planned and then they take their pants off and start crab walking up the wall it's going to throw your game off -

2019-05-14 at 5:09 AM UTCIt's a technique used in boxing and Chinese martial arts as well to win fights. The fighter acts in a drunken stupor, which throws the opponent off.
Drunken boxing (Chinese: 醉拳; pinyin: zuì quán) is a general name for all styles of Chinese martial arts that imitate the movements of a drunk person.[1] It is an ancient style and its origins are mainly traced back to the famous Buddhist and Daoist sects. The Buddhist style is related to the Shaolin temple while the Daoist style is based on the Daoist tale of the drunken Eight Immortals. Zui quan has the most unusual body movements among all styles of Chinese martial arts. Hitting, grappling, locking, dodging, feinting, ground and aerial fighting and all other sophisticated methods of combat are incorporated.
