Yes it is. I've been here for over a decade. But despite your tip, I'm still going to speak freely this one time.

I'll probably get downvotes for telling the truth, but whatever, it deserves to be said even if folks only see it for a few hours. Our industry is still full of sexism and racism. …

Comment #38302397
Chess engines aren't useless for beginners. That's an empty claim and is as easily dismissed as it was made. I gave a list of reasons why a chess engine is good for learning. Refut…
