Apparently this is my best performance so far: no inaccuracies, no mistakes, one blunder only and the lowest ACPL I've ever got.
Well, this is good but I cannot help but wondering how reliable this analysis is.
Also, how are the win/loss points calculated? I'm just curious about that, not complaining about the number of points I just lost. In fact I expected more.
Thanks for reading me and your answers. 🙂
don't think that the machine is perfect with its analysis; but generally, it is very good
on a different note: I'd recommend delaying when you choose to resign so that you can get more out of the game
after all, in this case, you resigned a winning position. but even if you are losing, please do not be too quick to give up
I wish you well with your next game
Yeah that's a pretty good game, nice job! You definitely should have played on though, you had a really strong advantage. That lance the opponent dropped at the end is just going to get trapped.
As far as the computer analysis goes, I think it's really good, obviously stronger than a human player would be. The only downside is that sometimes its middlegame plans are hard to understand, as it has such a deep look-ahead. When I use the engine after a game, I mostly use it for blunder checks and to see if I missed any tactics. If it gives me an inaccuracy because I moved a silver wrong, and the follow-up move from the opponent is just some pawn push on the other side of the board, I don't worry about it all that much. But if I missed a fork or a trapped piece, then I take note.
For the win/loss points, lishogi uses the Glicko 2 algorithm:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system#Glicko-2_algorithm
TLDR if you don't want to look at the math:
Beat an opponent a little stronger than you, you get a little points.
Beat an opponent a lot stronger, you get a lot of points.
Losing works the same way, but you lose points instead of win, of course.
You start off with a very "unstable" rating (your points will go up and down a LOT)
The more games you play, the more "stable" your rating becomes (you gain and lose less points)
If you suddenly start playing much better or worse, you stability goes back down (your points will go up and down a LOT again)
When you start playing consistently again, your rating becomes stable again.

Thank you both. I definitely lack confidence. I saw that I had an advantage but I didn't see how to use it. 🤔
Thanks for the explanation about the rating. 🙂
