Who needs Doctor Kawashima's brain train?
Sort:
i used to play brain age. i might go buy it again sometime. but as far as beating the computer, i have managed a couple draws. i am sure the better players on this site have/can beat it.
probbly is someone somewhere that has beaten it as you say.
I however find it harder than playing a person, but no mater how much I try or how much I take my time and look at the game, (half of which is spent working out what the computer has done and if I have lost any pieces) I always get cought with the Bishop on the corresponding Queen Colour, moving out and snafaling away my Queen to the relm of the retiered and spectators resting place.
Happens whither I play white or black, and in 4-5 out of ten games(I play white it would happen, Black not happen, white it would not happen, but then black it would.)
Barring better concentration and game analysis has any one got any ideas how to prevent this happen. I have tried different opening and regardless of the opening it happens.

I played it a week ago and beat it easy with white, but with black i only managed a draw. I was playing quick though. One thing i noticed though is that the computer didn't recognise the 3 move repitition rule, so after we'd repeated the position 5/6 times i took it as a draw.
I used to play brain age. Its really boring and keeps telling u to do stupid math puzzles and stuff.

I was just about to ask about the three (3) move rule, for at one point I was playing the computer and although we both had several other pieces on the board at the same time the computer started to play constant check, no mate was gained and no stalemate acheived however for some reason the computer decided it was fun to chace my king round the board with its knights, so after about 10 moves I just started a new game as I was too busy playing constant check to move another piece, could this have been classed as a draw?

Runningrocker. Yeah, thats perpetual check, which is when no mate can be achieved, only checks. So yeah, thats a draw. This is usually good if your losing and your opponent can't escape your checks. Thus he/she has to begrudgingly accept the draw.

Thanks Jona for that.
Can think of another word that starts with the P but then thats just me.
And imagine a computer having to syoop so low as to go for perpetual check, shame on it HA HA HA

Yea, but if YOUR winning, it got the draw it was after, so it didn't lose. Half a points better than none!
Na from where I was sitting I clearly thought that I was losing cause he had more pieces on the board than I did.
So who thinks they need the infamus Doctor Kawashima's Brain Train?
Here at Chess.com they have there own version called 'Play The Computer@ it's Draining for your brain.
I know that this topic has came up in several subjects but has anybody out there actually beat the computer, (and I dont mean with a big stick or other heavy object after several thrashings beyond your beleifs at a pace even superman would have a time keeping up with).
