It certainly played with you after it had you beat, didn't it?
You are allowed to resign, you know.

Well, it seems like the computer doesn't know how to checkmate with K+Q vs K, so I was going for a 50-move draw before my time ran out.
On another note, I just played another trollish game against the computer, definitely one of my wildest games ever. I was tired, the computer was in a charitable mood, and this was the result:
No. YOU are the biggest troll on chess.com.
I was. These days I'm not active enough to be considered for that title. But thanks for the compliment!
Nope. Actually, Computer1-EASY is the biggest troll. Check out this game:

It's well known that chess engines are NOT good at endgames.
That's why we use tablebases for endgames.
That's true, but I still don't understand why the computer always promotes its pawns at the last minute possible (or why, in MSC's game, it decided to promote to a bunch of bishops for no particular reason). It's as if the programmers intentionally programmed it that way - maybe as a joke?

IN order for you to have a chance to beat a computer, I thas to intentionally make mistakes. Perhaps this is what's going on with something like that.

Yeah, Computer1-EASY does a lot of weird things:
Here's a troll game by Comp3-HARD:

It starts off playing beautifully, then on move 28 decides that it wants to get rid of its minor pieces ASAP. Then, after I blunder in the endgame, it offers me a draw in a better position.
I've had multiple experiences against Comp2 (and a few against Comp1) where I'm ahead by a ton of material, but end up losing because I can't stop the computer's connected passed pawns. So in this game I wanted to do everything I could to prevent the same thing from happening again, even if it meant sacrificing a bit of material - because I could afford it. In the end the strategy worked - I had a winning endgame until I blundered by rook.

Try not to spend so many moves taking pawns. Use your stronger pieces to direct an attack on the king. Also try not to grant your opponent counterplay!
Check out this game, particularly moves 58-79, and judge for yourself.
