Now playing with Beginner Level will be quite Tough.

Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

Just play with Beginner and Easy Level and I am sure they will beat you
like carrot.

Do not play with higher levels, Only if you have lot of time try higher
Levels.

The game has been improved to make better moves.

Beginner will play tough
Easy very Tough
Normal & Master (Only if you have lot of time.)

Play a game at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

There was a little Modification done which created this Problem,

Your Ratings have been readjusted and This Game was Cancelled.

You should play with Normal Level as Master Level will think longer
than earlier to make better moves.

Surely that game is just a blatant win for black? Any reasonable
assessment should obviously result in the conclusion that white is
completely lost being lots of material + 1 queen down.

It certainly beat me like carrot in the following miniature:

[White "SannyBot"]
[Black "Zebediah"]
[Site "getchess.com"]
[Result "1-0"]

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. Bxc6 dxc6 6. Nc3 Bd6
7. d4 Nd7 8. Bg5 f6 9. dxe5 Nxe5 10. Nxe5 Bxe5 11. Qxd8 mate!?!?

Another bolt from the blue! I had intended to respond 11... Kxd8, but
Sanny's program eliminated that possibility by throwing up a pop-up
window reading "You are checkmated. Ha ha ha!" and then resetting
the board, leaving me without a reply.

> Do not play with higher levels

Yes, that's what I think too.

That's *three* posters who think Sanny's program needs
to clock-out and make a move, some time this century
even!

As for going to sleep after ...g6, ...Bg7, ...d6, and ...a6 --
can you really blame the program? Try playing real moves,

Ofcourse if one want to play a game he should have 1-2 Hours of free
time.

Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

Earlier the game was fast but weak. Now it makes moves that are quite
strong.

Your game was not recorded So We cannot view them. You need to login

Dude, just please, please, PLEASE shoot yourself through the head!!!
Your game utterly SUCKS ASS!!! It needed 1.5 hours to think up a bunch
of terrible moves. It moved its king from b8 to c8 and back like 5
times after which it moves it to a7 only so it could start moving its
rook from a8 to h8 a couple of times.
Furthermore, it didn't feel like resigning after I had a queen, a rook
and two pawns agaisnt his lonely king. It only surrendered after I was
one move away from making a second king. So again, please shoot
yourself or--which is the next best thing--just never post here again
anymore... ever!!

Why so much material? K+R vs K is a mate in at most 15 moves or so;
K+Q vs K needs at most 10 or so moves from the worst possible start
point.

Although, in many cases, it is very useful to have a second king as a
backup in case the first one gets checkmated, when your opponent has
only a king, your first king is in no danger. Therefore, it's better
to promote to a queen. :-)

Kc8-b8-c8-b8-c8... That says enough, doesn't it?

That's a good thing, at your level. I'm not advocating ignorance but
there are better things to spend your time on as a beginner.


> and that knight move just doesn't look to great.

Agreed. If you really know what you're doing, it's OK but it's best
avoided by beginners and it isn't thought good enough to play at the
highest level. (That said, Fischer obtained a win and a draw with it
in games 13 and 19, respectively, of the 1972 World Championship match
against Spassky.)

Well, in this case it probably does say enough but there is the slight
possibility that all the computer's pieces are already in the right
place. For example, in the position

White: Kc6, Pc5 (to move)
Black: Kc8
FEN: 2k5/8/2K5/2P5/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1

it's perfectly possible that Black's last moves were Kc8-b8-c8
etc. and were correct: 1.Kb6 Kb8! 2.Kc6 Kc8! 3.Kc6 etc.

The game continues:

7...Be6 Nc3 and now it's thinking about its 8th move. It took your

It turns out that 1.e4 Nf6 isn't actually a bad opening. It's named
after Alexander Alekhine, so it can't be all that terrible. :-)

The idea is that Black tempts White into building up a large centre
that turns out not to be all that strong. But Black has to play very
accurately or things can go horribly wrong for him! Definitely not
recommended for beginners but it might be instructive to see how you
lose when playing it a couple of times.


> and bringing the queen out this early?

That part is not good.


> I'm just a beginning player

I think you played the opening rather well, there. Well-co-ordinated
development and a nice attack on f7 (and d5). Of course, you were
helped by your opponent's weak play but it's good that you can take
advantage of it so well.
