I’m not sure if my late reply is still useful, but anyway: I’m using btrbk on multiple computers / servers and am very satisfied with it! I can’t speak for the health of the project though. But as long as it’s working fine it doesn’t need highly active development, no?
(But I do hope that it’s still maintained.)
That was my first thought too… :/
That’s nice indeed! Thanks for sharing.
As a kid I wasn’t too bad at chess but stopped playing. Recently, i.e. some decades later, I created a lichess account and due to some successful tactics and a bit of luck I won my first three games and my (provisional) rating shot up to around 1900 and I was quite surprised and happy.
Afterwards I had the expected losing streak taking me down almost 500 points in only a handful of games…
All is well though, I’m studying a bit and am steadily climbing and should reach 1600 soon.
The linked report in that article is quite detailed and interesting. Seems a reasonable proposal. But then again I only play online and don’t have a FIDE rating myself.
Wow, that’s fucked up.
