Go up one level in this thread

Undoubtedly the worst program would simply be one which chose the worst move,
after searching the move tree.

Like the guy in Chippewa Falls who pushed his washing machine down a full flight
of stairs and then shot it 3 times (true!), it appears rather unsportsmanlike,
eh what?

Still, if blood thirsty revenge is paramount, why not take TSCP (Tom's Simple
Chess Program) source code and just make that little change to it?

Other idea's would be to limit the chess program to 1 second of think time, with
no thinking allowed on your time; or to set the depth of search to just 1 or 2
ply. That should dumb it up considerably!

Good luck!

Dave
