Hello, and sorry for my poor english...

i just posted an open invite writing in the title that in that game me and the opponent will use chess engines (i was thinking that this can be a new interesting experience)...can you say me if in this site it's legal the use of chess engine if two players BOTH know this condition before the start?

Thanks and regards

Using an engine on this site is forbidden - period. Doesn't matter if you're both doing it and you both know the other one's doing it. Anyway, what's the point? You might just as well take your engine to a site where they offer you an engine for an opponent, and let the two machines fight it out without involving anyone else. "My engine can beat your engine" sounds like something for kindy kids to say.

What you are suggesting is just 2 machines playing each other.
Just like 2 people having a footrace but they both use race cars.
Learn to play chess and stop this nonsense.

so, you can read here that my idea is not so wild and "nonsense": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Chess

of course, i will respect the rules of this site, but i still think that i'm so strong that games are often very boring (as my statistics explain)

bye

thanks, RevRSleeker....

i was not considering the question about the rating, and i admitt that it's a good question. but, using your suggestion, i'm going to start an open invite unrated and with the clear note that both players can use an engine

thanks again, i hope see you in a game

I wondered if I could ask a question please, what is a chess engine?

I've only ever played chess on RHP, and I hear lots of talk about engines but don't really understand.

A chess engine is a computer programm which "plays" chess. There are several programmes available. I think Houdini might be one of the stronger ones as is "Fritz". You might come over these names in the discussions.

It is strictly forbidden to get suggestions from chess engines on this site. But some member find it useful to analyse their games and fin ...[text shortened]... where they blundered (or their opponent) and to find missed shots to improve the chess thinking.

Thanks you for explaining, I am now wondering how one would know if someone you were playing in good faith was using one.

Hope the OP does not mind me asking on the thread, please say if its inappropriate.

ok, i'm a narcisisstic one: look at your ranking and think when you joined this site...and after that probably you will stop to judge my chess skills

hi Wolfgang, why don't u let the poor player think he's got a high rating? What difference does it make to u?
& why shouldn't we lowly graded players use chess engines to analyze our games?
