Live Chess: Beating the Computer - Chess Forums

Computers are known for a few traits that can be exploited.

1. They are incredibly materialistic:

If you can use a gambit or a clever sacrifice the computer will likely take unless there is an obvious repercussion

2. Computers play in a logical manner

The computer will not play for position, rather it will attack specific pieces and will attack your king. Even the best of computers have no concept of position.

3. Be careful: don't make mistakes, the computer will see them. Take that extra second or two to ensure that you haven't made a ?, ?! or ??

Here is an example of one of my games beating the computer. Please post your games against the Medium and Hard computers so we can all analyze them :).

Well played game. I tried, but couldn't figure out how to set up a live rated game against the computer. I see others in the window playing against it, but I don't know how they set up the game.

The computer just sits there and waits for a challenge, you simply have to be the first to click.

good game, but Nc5 on turn 16?? that's pretty stupid for a 1700+ computer

the 1700 just means that it keeps beating ppl that mess up. And like i said, it has no positional theory, backwards moves make more sense than gaining momentum, he doesn't like to be chased around ;)

Which computer program was this and from which company? And to followup--have you played against the Fritz series of computer progams, i.e Fritz 6, Fritz 11(Rybka) or Fritz 12(Shredder)?.

If you look at the title of the thread it says "live chess...." This isn't an instruction manual on how to defeat Deep Blue. Although, the part about machines being incredibly materialistic came in handy for Kaspy. He sacrificed a pawn and deep blue made a MISTAKE. Unfortunately our human hero failed to recognize the mistake and lost instead of drew.
