Is there any chess players here? If so, see if you can win on this site, i cannot seem too. http://turbulence.org/spotlight/thinking/chess.html
Eh - I'm not good enough to beat a machine. I've downloaded Winboard for Windows and Linux, though. Pretty good, though not flashy.
never rated over 1400 when i was playing USCF and that was 10+ years ago. plus, i hate those stylized pieces. it is kind of interesting to 'see' what the computer is thinking though.
I cant see the black pieces I tried this a few weeks ago, and I was past the point where machines usually crush me, but I can't see the black pieces on my monitor when they are on black squares. The chess may be good, but the graphics are poor.
I've got 2 wins I've got 2 draws . . . . . . but no comment about how many times it has kicked my butt. Computers are merciless -- they don't make mistakes and will find yours in a nano-second. I find the thinking lines to be a major distraction. My wins have come when I have a chessboard beside the computer so I can see the board while then thinking lines obscure everything. Try: 1. P-Q4 P-Q4 2. P-QB4 . . . it will always (so far) take the gambit and then try to defend the pawn with the QB . . . good luck Craig
I don't suppose it will fall for the two move check mate will it? Hard to get anyone to fall for that one anymore. 4 moves sometimes, but nobody falls for two very often. Won quite a bit of money on that one when someone mixes alcohol and chess and thinks 4 moves (per side) is the quickest way to check mate and that it can't be done in two moves (per side). :laugh:
