I love the primitive elegance of OTB chess, where one just simply moves a piece from square one to square two without the participation of the computer and its ever changing software.
However, since there are no chess clubs or people to play the game with where I now live, I just recently bit the bullet and am now playing live computer chess. But it is very depressing, because I KNOW FOR A FACT that opponents are "cheating" and using all sorts of "engines" against me. What to do? Play the game or not? So I've decided to throw integrity to the wind and sell my soul to the devil too. WTF.
I just put the first stain on my soul by buying "Fritz 13." But being a self professed neanderthal I have a few questions to ask and wonder if any of you might wish to assist me with somebasic questions that I have????
