Your bet will lose. Again.

I really am amused at your attempt to be a mighty "chimp winner" by the simple act of claiming a win because I was in rome.

Nice try. What do you think about ethical problems in general?

Is it ok to guess on a question in a finals exam?

How the hell should I know where you are? As your location says, "Couldn't Prove It." And I bet there's places with internet access, even in Rome.

Quit making excuses, ya loser.

It never occured to you do as Woolburger did? In my game with him? To simply send a prompt and wait?

Woolburger seems to have it way over on you in that "ethical" thing. But that translates to "Fear". Doesn't it?

No. Should I? I really hate chess. Why should I care? About you and your silly "win at any cost" chimp mates? Hell. You "won" while I was in Rome. Don't you feel good and powerful for your "win"?

I was going to give you the opportunity to prove you can finish a game to the end this time instead of running off to Rome with your tail between your legs. But I can understand if you lack the stones to face me again. Don't sweat it.

In your silly wet dreams.

I'll probably concede if you can use your "engine" to set it up again. Without fear of having some brave soul see who used the engine. Me. Or You?

Snark. But give it a try. If you want. I'm game for a 112 move "draw by the 50 move rule". But i would prefer to just "lose". That is the honorable "human" way out. We all lose. Eventually. I am not too proud to just do it now. As Practice. Good practice for the real thing.

Let's not play off anyone else's game this time.

Go to uChess.com, register, and I'll meet you there. That way I don't have to be up until one in the morning waiting for a game to finish.

why?

You assume I want to play chess. You further compound your stupidity by assuming i want to play YOU.


Why? Why would I want to play chess?

The only reason I offered the "finish" against an enemy was for the sake of entertainment and a raw laugh against my foe.

You took what you didn't earn. Are you proud?

Oh, but you do. Even though you hate chess, you still want to play. Pathetic, isn't it?

I think that loss got to you. You haven't been able to shut up about it. Let that be a lesson to you: never give the opponent the satisfaction of knowing that.

Yes, to quote the article:

In contrast, arithmetic stimulated brain activity in both the left and right hemispheres of the frontal lobe - the area of the brain most associated with learning, memory and emotion.'

what's wrong with stimulating "activity in the parts of the brain associated with vision and movement"? ...

Debate?
I rather doubt it.

I think they are making the oldest mistake in logic. Getting their cause and effect mixed up.

I can't imagine an intelligent person playing computer games. It seems anathema. But hey! I was wrong a couple of times.
