wallbanger-masterfelix,game 50 seems to be the earliest game on record.Though it has no move history,it does say it's been won by time-out.

Found an older one, so there must be other ones... Russ played this one.

My first game here was #18, against Paul. I just went back into my archives to look at it, and the final position is there, but I cannot pull up the game history.

'Paul' is an old mate of mine, who did quite a bit of testing early on, and then got really involved with the site when we made it live.

Then he had a catastrophic fall out with his wife, and he has never been back...

Chess host beats the opponent with no name!

I assumed that was a test drive since one player has no name.

Interesting stalemate anyway, although the record states that white has won. He must be the perfect host to let his opponent score half a point in this position.

There are several theories on the subject.

Some say that when it all started, all the pieces were condensed into a tiny, infinately dense matter until BOOM everything began to scatter. RHP has been expanding ever since.

Others, of course, beleive that Russ said, "Let there be RHP" and RHP appeared. Or that he created the second player from the rib of the first.

Then there is the possiblity that RHP had no begining and will have no end; that it has always been here and always will be.

Disclaimer: For all you fundamentalists out there (you know who you are) I'm just kidding; please do not take this post seriously.

Game Id 1.

This game was between a friend of mine and 'the drone'. It was before the intelligent single player opponent was implemented (rival online), so it was a game against an automated player who made random moves. (I used this for testing, but it was available to all when the site first launched.)

I have since reclaimed my friend's account (#2) and use it as a 'robot' account for sending messages.

The code for rendering the name of the CPU opponent has since been removed, hence the blank name.

And that is all there is to know about game 1!
