Nice. I'll play it out next time I get my board out.

Theist: P-K5

Me: You can't do that.

Theist: P-K5

Me: I just said, you can't do that.

Theist: P-K5

Me: For fuck's sake man! That's an illegal move. Do you want me to go over the rules again?

Theist: I know the rules.

Me: OK. Then play properly.

Theist: P-K5

Me: Fuck this.

Did you play against a computer or a human?

He played with the hairless neanderthal.



hehe

I beat a grand master the other day. I annihilated him, smashed him into the ground.

I should have offered to play chess with him really. Wasted opportunity.

Have you funky guys seen this?

Here's a chess puzzler (and no, I don't play):  A novice player makes a wager than he can play 10 masters at the same time and win at least 5 of the games.  The novice's only stipulation is the he gets to play white on 5 of the boards and black on the other 5.

The wager is accepted, and sure enough, the novice wins five or more games against recognized Master-level players.  How did he do it?

Hint: Stalemates are disallowed. In the event of a stalemate, the Masters agree to capitulate and give the win to the novice.

Boru

That..

Is uncanny! (I just edited my above post)

It's a miracle!

It was with a human, and it was a 1 minute time control. I feel it's a very good game overall for that amount of time, no?

I used to love playing speed chess. We played with a chess clock, 20 mins each for the whole game. Sometimes 10 mins, and even 5!

Definitively.  I like to play chess but am not very good at it, but there are, of course, lots of free programs out there.
