Computer Thinking

For several days now, the non-live chess computer (http://www.chess.com/play/computer.html) has been freezing persistently, regardless of whether or not I am in a heavily won or heavily lost position. I've even tested this on the different difficulty settings and found the same results. I have done all of the normal troubleshooting procedures, including restarting my computer, refreshing the page, clearing the browser cache and history, clearing the java cache, and even trying a different browser.

The computer seems to consistently fail upon white's move #36. I normally enjoy mindlessly playing against the computer from time to time just to try random ideas or help heighten my awareness of blunders and mistakes and to practice my endgame play, but this problem has been preventing me from doing so. I do hope to see the problem resolved.

I am experiencing the same problem. It can really get on your nerves when you're winning badly.

Much agreed, especially if you really want to see how the position plays out.

Please fix this !! I can't win every game in less than 36 moves

I'm still having this problem no matter what browser I use.

We're hoping to add a fix for this asap

36 is an interesting figure. Just calculate 1+2+3+4+....36= 666

So, the reason for your problem is that there is devil inside :-)

kohai: I'm glad to hear it :)

James: That explains why it can be so evil.

We're in the final stages now of bug testing. Hopefully if it all goes well, the vs computer issues will be fixed for you.

The update is much appreciated.
