Third game:

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...

About time we had some fun on this site.

[b]*********************************************

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.

holy crap I won in 83 moves by trapping the black king at the top of the board and promoting my pawn to b8!

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.

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.
