it would be, but there's no god.

The answer is 'No'.
Because He would not take sides.
Whatever God it is you believe in, all created us as equals.
So giving chess adivce to one would not make it fair on the other,
it would be unequal.
However, if you find yourself playing for your soul v Satan then the
Big Fellah might offer some assistance.
He loves it when you check the Devil's King with a Bishop.
The Devil gooes potty when that happens.
Apparently you can hear the bellowing all over Hell.
Originally posted by greenpawn34I heard that the Devil never considers underpromotions, especially not to bishops.

lol, all very funny, but alas the green pawn dude is right, God is not partial, never the less, Fischer, arguably one of the greatest chess players of all time had more than a passing interest in Biblical subjects and would often read or listen to readings of scripture on the radio. Perhaps he found solace or sought help for some personal issues, i dont know, never the less, the fact that he got seriously financially ripped off by his church of choice seems not to have diminished his love of reading scripture. It really makes me wonder.

You can pray, but whether you will receive the divine moves are unclear.
Having said that, I have sometiems had a game which I have been working very hard on and left the position overnight and had dreams about it, and found some nice creative stuff which I can bring back to the board. So maybe just sometimes...
