anywho...

Robbie- if you end up anything like me, you will learn to love endgames. It is a necessity since at some point probably 90% of your games will be decided that way.
i dont have either the patience nor the inclination Nimzo, i have tried, i can guarantee
you that if i have a good position come the end, against any decent player, i will lose it.

If your opponent sends an in game message like this:
"Silly humanoid, you are hopelessly lost, you are behind 2.87pts."
You might be up against an engine.

i'd say this post would've been worth at least 3 extra rec's with correct grammar.

That'll be me. But the wife says I should spend more time setting up the pieces and stop playing blitz.

Well, it used to be rumoured that whenever you played a player from the top twenty, you were almost sure to be playing an engine... but then some players who made such remarks (and who shall remain nameless, but they know who they are) got into the top spot, and now we're not allowed to spread such rumours any more. Or even joke about them. It's a bit like a super-injunction.

Me, I think that the more someone high up makes such accusations, the more likely they are to be true... about that player himself.

That rumor started when someone was spelunking on an island off the coast of Scotland, and found a chess board in a cave.

The pieces on the board were what are now called the "Isle of Lewis Chessmen", and they were set up in a position that is now recognized as the main line of the Colle System.

It was insisted by a certain well-known Scottish chess player, writer, musician and pub enthusiast that none of this could have been the work of human hands, and that is where the "engine use" theory came about.
