Epic fail. You do not call winning against GNU Chess a "World Computer Software Championship". They might as well have had DivGradCurl and greenpawn34 in the line-up to increase the laughability of the tournament. 😵

5 pts. Not bad.
He insulted the most popular person on RHP? I didn't see my name ANYWHERE in his post...
Originally posted by greenpawn34 Not an insult and certainly no offence taken.
(I'm sure the same goes for DivGrad).
It was a joke. (I even rec's his post).
(most popular guy...I like that)
Right lads no swearing or being nasty so this thread gets pulled.
This one just has to stay put. 😏
Can someone show the trap that was set for Shredder.
Are you sure it was a joke? It def fits in with his *angry* persona.... Or am I underestimating you? Have you now lowered yourself to getting others to do your dirty work for you? 😉
Anyway, oh yeah, the trap. It seems like a fairly elementary 2 or 3 mover tactic. Child's play for any engine. (Or is it going over my head?) Starts on move 38 for Black.
Qg8 is the only move to stop the mate without losing heavy material.
It is forced.
The fact it holds the b7 pawn by tactics is just a fluke.
These thing don't set traps. It would need them anticipating and looking
at a bad move (like humans do). This is beyond them.
They have no more imagination than a soap dish.
Every good chess players knows sometimes the best move
to play is NOT the best move.
In OTB there are often times when you feel like you "know" which move your opponent will choose in response to your move or after a set of moves. I have gotten one or two nice wins because I could look deeper into a position since I had a good feel for what branches my opponent was most likely to take.
I have also lost a game horribly where I overlooked an obvious response.. haha so it goes I guess.
