| General Chess Discussion - Responding to the Sicilian defense as White.#12 It depends a lot on your level, IMHO. On higher levels where learning the theory becomes a necessity, the amount of existing theory and the wide spectrum of quite different variants can be indeed over… | mkubecek  |
| General Chess Discussion - Have you ever played a game with the board flipped?#2 I certainly wouldn't want to play as white with white on top. When playing as black, I guess both options, i.e. "me on bottom" or "white on bottom as usual" make some sense but I usually prefered blac… | mkubecek |
| General Chess Discussion - Opinion: getting annoyed because your opponent refuses to resign is a sign of arrogance#34 @forsoothplays said in #31: > What is so intimidating about "gently" or "friendly?"

| Lichess Feedback - Very weird Stockfish evaluation#4 Tak bohužel... I když jsem nechal obě pozice (po 4... Nxf2 i po 5. Kxf2) spočítat do větší hloubky (54 a 53), "cloudová" hodnota se neaktualizovala a v novém okně se zase ukazuje jako nejlepší ten nes… | mkubecek |
