A few things were adjusted. The game will play like earlier and will
not spend time on long calculations.

Lets see if the game plays better.

However, I was able to beat Beginner Level. Higher Levels will play
very good moves.

Nomorechess said his computer gets disconnect regularly. I feel the
game needs connection only when it is making its move. So incase the
Game disconnects reconnect it but do it before it makes its move.

It only access internet when a move is to be made by you or Computer.

I advice strong players to play with Easy & Normal Level. Beginner
Level is only for people who have just learned Chess.

Because all GetChess had at that point was a King and a Pawn on B3 on
the opposite side of the board from its King.

I had a King, Pawn on C7 and Pawn on A2 (which would be taken by
GetChess). My plan was to promote to Queen on C8, allow GetChess to
take my pawn on A2, then move my Queen to A8, then when GetChess
promoted it's Pawn on A1, I'd take it with the Queen, and be left with
my King and Queen versus GetChess' lone Queen.

Instead, I dropped the Pawn on the wrong space, A6, and it promoted to
Queen... GetChess predictably took my A1 Pawn, and I captured the Pawn
on that move.

So, either way, the outcome was going to be my Queen and King versus
GetChess' lone King... I felt pretty secure in winning that battle :)

That's why I meant that it didn't make any difference in this case.

Yes there was an error when Queening. Which was Corrected today. Now
it will not allow you to Queen wrongly.

Over the years, I've read a lot about "dynamic" players
and "enterprising" play, but nobody ever explained exactly
what those was supposed to mean; now, I think I finally
have it figured out. ; >D


Seriously, if you grab a piece and then decide on
another move, you can (very carefully!) just click on
the new piece and then on its destination square,
since the program will not allow you to capture your
own man.


And what do you mean, it didn't affect the outcome
because you had the advantage? I have had the
advantage against all sorts of players, from Unrated
and Class E to Grandmaster -- this is no guarantee of
the eventual outcome! In fact, those pesky weak
players are very good at hanging *every* one of their
men, which can lead to a stalemate if you're not very
careful (just ask Zebediah). In the case of an illegal
move, you are supposed to go back and replay the
game from the point where the illegality occurred.
(This means that I have around two dozen or so
games to replay, but they were just "zapped" by
Sanny to shut me up.)

Okay... I played it again today, and I'd say the Easy Level is easier
to beat, since I was able to defeat it :)

One piece of feedback, though... It allowed me to make an illegal
move...

It didn't affect the outcome of the game, as I had the advantage, but
take a look and see my pawn promotion...

I picked up the pawn on C7, and in an effort to make an illegal move
(to de-select it, since I didn't mean to click on it) I dropped it on
A6...

GetChess allowed the move, *and* allowed me to upgrade to a Queen...
on A6... then allowed me to continue the game from there.

Now on Beginner Level will always make move in 20 Seconds
Easy level in 80 seconds
Normal in 320 seconds
Master in 1280 seconds.

Even if it has not found any good move it will play the move as soon
as time has arrived.


I hope this will make everyone happy. As Program will make its move
as
soon as Time Arrives.


Play a few game and see it is always playing in time. So no more
waits
and time Problem.
