That program is very easy to beat. I played 2 times and won both. In the second game I forked its Queen and one Rook and the program deided to give the Queen instead of the Rook.

Just played it - hammered it.

me white:

1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qe5+ etc etc.
Just played with it's Queen till I picked it up with a Knight fork.
( sounds like it cannot recognise them).

Beautiful graphics though. Really nice to play against.
(I'm going nick those graphics for my web site).

OK then...

I'm actually working on a (good) chess program. I'll post a link in a day or two and you guys can try it out...

I had problems with it because the pieces were totally foreign to me. I blundered because I couldn't tell a knight from a bishop! Had a won game until then. Plus the thing wouldn't let me castle!!

I think that was the poorest excuse for a chess program I think I've ever seen.

Very weak, not even fun. 13 moves, I threatened mate in one and it did no preventative move.

Don't know what it was thinking on its last move.

I also destroyed it without thinking more than 2 seconds on any move. It played the ridiculous 1. e4...e5 2. Nf3...f6? Then after 3. Nxe5... fxe5 4. Qh5+...g6 5. Qxe5 it was all downhill from there.

It looks like any 1,000+ rated RHP player could probably beat it without thinking much.

Edit: LOL; I just played it again and it hung its queen for no reason at all.

Here's my submission, mate in 7[OLD]

Played a few games against him, it's actually pretty fun as I can just sac my queen for pretty much nothing and still win.

Edit: Got a better one, mate in 4:

I also have pulled off mate in four now (as well as mate in 5 with the g6 sacrifice idea. I think this would be the limit in terms of speed even against as bad an AI as this.
