i dont. but the mate in 13 or whatever it was tells me his premoves were pretty perfet. but no,i cant say for certain. that was why i came in here like i did. i saw the title about chess engines and assumed it was for cheating. since then ive just been debating the speed at which a human can move without that assistance.
Was it 13 moves or 26?
Do you understand the difference between a move and a half-move.
This position is mate in ten. That's nineteen half-moves. White moves ten times with perfect play, and Black moves nine.
I played this position and several similar positions repeatedly with a friend and a digital clock set to ten seconds each. When I did it in five seconds, that was my side of the clock. The other side could have used nine.
With a mouse, I've done this in under five seconds.
ok,i just went over my original post about the moves.it was 26 moves in 6 seconds. the reference i was making was real world seconds,not the time clock of the game. i watched 2 players make 26 total moves in 6 seconds. white mated black in 6 real world seconds. the game lasted 26 moves. anyhow,that was the original comment. the conversation moved on and a debate started because i said it was impossible to move 15+ times in 6 seconds.
I think that is fast enough to arouse suspicion.
How do you know they were not using premove?
