Happy to beat the computer!

Was this Live chess or "Play Against the Computer"? You're a better chess player than I am, as I'm still struggling to beat the latter on Medium and sometimes even Easy.

Thanks for the compliment.  This  "Play Against the Computer"game was played against the "Hard ~1600" level.  I did take about an hour to complete my moves vs. the computer which took probably less than a minute for all moves combined.  I like live chess but sometimes want a game that can be played with no time controls.

You took a whole hour to play the game? My games against the computer usually take about 5-10 minutes. I try not to take too long before moving, because in timed games I just don't have that kind of time.

I play at a chess club once a week where each player has about an hour and a half on their clock.  I was trying to simulate one of those games.  There's no way I could win at this level using 5-10 minutes.

nice game. I can only just beat the computer on the medium level in a 10min game. So i think i would take alot longer time to beat it on the hard level !

 On the medium level the comp mostly brings out its king for some reason.

Well played game - nice job taking the rook on move 22 and best of all - not allowing three connected passed pawns to create a win for the computer.

there were some blunders but still good job winning! :)

Yes, they don't have to be consecutive either.

It can be like:

15. Ke1 Rh8

21. Ke1 Rh8

56. Ke1 Rh8

..and it's still a draw! :)

Good game vs Comp-HARD. IT still blunders a lot. :)

Nice pins there.

Cool!

Can you give that link?

dear Chess friends,

this is N.Gopi Krishna M.Sc., M.B.A., From India. I have been playing with Computer more than 4 years. and i beat and drew with Computer @ highest level of rating. so, can you give me any nice feedback plz.

In my experience, the computer (even on the easier settings) has been rather ruthless. Either that or I'm not a very good player.

I regularly play against Chess titans that came with my Windows 7. I can beat him easily. On most levels.

Chess Titans doesn't know the rules of chess.

Was that draw by repetition Gopi? Who initiated the draw and why?

But still, it is hard to get consistent wins against Titans. (even discounting the human blunders I make)

You had your titans in the Vista, correct. I play the new Titans they are giving out free on Win 7. Maybe you should upgrade your OS and then try Castling with the pawn in front of the King.
