Chess24 piracy update: my render engine is alive and kicking, compliance is 99% because theirs is quite buggy, but when there's a mismatch that 1% of the time, it's (usually) because they're missing stuff, not me. I will upload it all to the internet archive when Chess24 closes the 31th of January, because if they sue me, that'll make it hard for them to claim any damages. I will, of course, update the thread accordingly.

Hey Fedi, remember everyone is getting their Chess24 courses taken from their hands? Well, my Catalan teacher (both language and opening) asked me if I could pirate it all, and I have effectively as of 2 hours ago scraped their whole website and taken all the courses (videos, complementary data, etc), which is about 200GB. The raw data is ready if anyone wants it, but I still have to process it (render the chessboard, etc).

We're sorry to see Chess24 is being shut down, as many people predicted after the takeover. Diversity in the chess ecosystem is essential to avoid stagnation.

Lichess is a charity and will never be sold. Free chess, for everyone, forever!

Current chess news hot takes:

1) Alireza not playing because (presumably) not getting offered enough money is disappointing and ridiculous and makes him look bad. He's also probly regretting not being in Wijk aan Zee in a big way right now with such an excellent group of players

2) I miss the Tania Sachdev / Peter Leko commentator combo; they are the best. No contest. Makes me very sad not to see them working together; so wholesome and enthusiastic

3) chess.com's acquisition of chess24 sucks; chess.com and many of the people in that orbit are the most annoying chess dudebros. Also lichess is an infinitely better platform (and free / open-source). Fuck chess.com
