cheater_1 vs. chess.com

Have you FLAMERS ever heard of a correspondence chess match called Kasparov vs. the world?    

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasparov_versus_The_World 

  I participated in this match nearly a decade ago. People all over the world submitted what they thought was the best 1st move in a chess game, and the one with the most popular votes was actually made. Mr. Kasparov then made his response. The world then voted on the second move, the most popular getting made. Garry then made a move responding to that. Etc., etc., etc. It was one of the most intriguing chess concepts I have ever participated in. Garry beat the world, of course, even with my Chessmaster thinking about the best moves for HOURS made no difference.

I WISH it could be arranged whereby I would use my SECRET UNMATEABLE program on a high end supercomputer to take on all you wannabes. I'd start out with a move and you'd all get to vote on your 1st move and the most popular one would be made. Just as Garry beat the world, I'd wager some cash that I could singlehandedly CHECKMATE the ENTIRE pool of chess.com users. The logistics of organizing a stunt like this would prohibit it from ever occurring, but I'd make a serious wager that I'd win.

even though it is immpossible to organise I too could beat the world and everyone ever born given a time machine which would allow me to be transported back and forth through the centuries so I could play the games and be back home in time for tea

 The logistics of organizing a stunt like this would prohibit it from ever occurring, but I'd make a serious wager that I'd beat everyone who ever existed (past present and future) hey thats an album by?

al stuart

then again I may just get all the winners of the grand national and place an accumlative bet on them and just not bother

is there a prize for replying to this guy in an apt and amusing fashion?

I vote for ....me

 Well i'm syre the computer would do quite well, as for you beating all the members of chess.com i have my serious doubts as i believe if you had to play the game on your own merits you would have a hard time beating anyone over 1500 let alone the people rated 2300 -2500 Why don't you and your computer play each other and leave the real chess to those of us that really play the game.

I'm pretty sure that almost anyone on the site with a rating of arund 1700+ could take on the entire site. Have you looked at any of the vote games, mobs clearly make poor chess players.

you're on. everyone vs. cheater_1 in vote chess.

good luck! :D 

I really mean no offense, de gustibus non est disputandum and all that, but my conscience simply wouldn't allow me to let this to slide by.

 Of the dozens of ridiculous postings I've read today, this tops the list.  

YES. Now were talking!! I nearly FAINTED when I read that this would actually happen. I must confess that Im starting to sweat a bit. I got a reputation to uphold, you know. If chess.com wins,  I will accuse you all of cheating, of consulting a DEEP BLUE program and thus making it a prog vs. prog match. Of course there is no way I'll be able to prove it, but I'll resort to it if I have to. I'll cry like Kasparov when Ole' BLUE mated him and he accused HUMAN involvement on the IBM side.

All kidding aside, here's what I'll be using FRITZ 7, Chessmaster 10th edition, and Rebel TIger. My computer will have 2 gigs of RAM. Processor speed has nothing to do with correspondence, but I have a 3 mhz anyway. Not exactly state of the art, up to date progs, but a DIVERSE combination, each excelling in its own area. I shall use all 3 progs and pick the most common move. I'll set in on maybe 3 hours per move.

I await your move. Good Luck!

What a joke.  Cheater is a waste of time.

I will be using no engine, nothing but my own brain... the brain that I have already asserted to be strong enough to beat your so called 'souped up' engine.

 Thanks Erik, I am in.

I am interested to see how this pans out. As someone mentioned in an earlier post, mob rules, be good to see the style of play based on the voting.

you know.. this may not have been a great idea :P.. if we are letting one player play the 'world'.. then other's are gonna wanna do the same thing (myself included!).

Oh well, erik is better at this than me :P.
