10014 - I ACCUSE

With all the talk over the past few months about which of the top players is using engines, something related interests me: I'm pretty sure the bottom series of players are absolutely competitive about who claims bottom place as the very worst player on rhp...isn't it just about within the realms of possibility that some of these supposedly awful players are not only deliberately throwing games, but using special egregiously-bad engines configured to work out the very worst possible moves to enable them to throw games?

Haiti has nuclear arms!!!!

His rating graph looks like a ski slope.

That is the stupidest conspiracy theory I have ever heard. That said, if I were to be that bad I might consider it as a way to gain noteriety.

You think that a computer can play worst chess then a human? Hahah, no way, I don't care how far computers have come along, never ever ever will a computer be able to play chess worst then a human playing bad chess. NO WAY!

Computers just aren't that smart.

Here is the weakest chess program in the world, designed intentionally:

There's a competition going on to see who can lose to it in the least number of moves. You really have to work at letting it beat you.

I heard of somebody trying this on yahoo chess. Life is sad if you can think of nothing better to do with your time!

not to encourge computer use ofcourse 😛
but I have seen chess programs that would let you input the value of pieces, guess you could give them negative values ^^

don't know if fritz has such an option.
