Not sure where to post this:

What happens when you play computer chess and

all the computer does is think...is it stuck?

did I finally win?

Will computer stop thinking and make some move?

Has anyone encountered this before?

Has been going on for about 6 minutes.

here are moves so far if that helps in any way:

It happens sometimes -- it's frozen, you'll have to start a new game.

i love the way you play, very creative play:)

It might be that the computer got to a point within its analysis that make it go into a loop, and that it cannot make a move, because the outcome is dire strait.

i wish i knew how a computer play, sacrificing rooks in early game is good tactic, especially if your window of play is not taking you to the end...but that is your creativity, and a computer lack on understanding.

Thanks for your comments fireballz. 

When you play against the computer in practice games, do these games count in your overall score?  Heck, I lose them.  Perhaps these are not practice games.
