Question by Bhagwad: Isn’t it time we stopped playing against computers?
Kramnik recently lost to Deep Fritz.

Given the fact that it’s only a matter of time before even grandmasters will not be able to beat the simplest chess programs, I think we’ve had our little experiment.

We need to get rid of computers now and focus on humans playing chess again. This game is ours. WE made it, and WE love it. Not computers. Computers don’t give a damn about chess. What are we trying to prove when we play against the computer?

Chess was always about the thrill of meeting a mind across the board, a mind that played by the same rules. None of this matters with a computer. We should probably still use it for training in tactics, but we should not endorse World Champions like Kramnik playing chess against a computer. It demeans the game we all love. Do you agree?

Best answer:

Answer by no one
Quite possibly. Our flaws is what helps define us as humans. Computers are all logic, how could they lose, lest a malfunction in the program.

CHESS: What opening am I playing?

Against d4 I play d5, followed by e6 and kn-f3, with the intention of putting pressure on d4 by playing c5.

I always assumed this was an iteration of the Caro Kann, but I am not sure. I would like to read up on this defense but I am not sure which one it is. Can anyone help?

Q&A: Chess Stalemate on my computer?

Question by Dustin M: Chess Stalemate on my computer?
I’m playing Chessmaster (10th Edition) on my computer.

I keep getting a stalemate even when I have enough peices to win.

Why is this?

Here is a screenshot example: http://img178.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tempchessdg5.jpg
I’m the white player in the above screenshot, and this was taken right after getting the “stalemate” message.

Also keep in mind that in this game, when your pawns cross to the other side, you can get another queen. (I’ve had 3 queens before.)
In the above screenshot, I’ve got lots of pawns ready to make into queens. I’m positive I could win it if the game didn’t stop me with the stalemate message.
A Vehicle That Crushes You, I said that I am white. Please try to read more carefully.

Best answer:

Answer by A Vehicle That Crushes You
are you sure you’re not white? because black is definietly in a stalemate
