Go up one level in this thread


I don't want to call any program bad, let alone the worst.  But if you want to
give yourself a chance against a good program, why not just set it for weaker
options?  Take a program with its own interface, such as Der Bringer or Arasan.
Turn permanent brain off, set it to search 2 plies, set it for 1 second per
move, and go to town on it!  Most commercial programs can be weakened also.

By the way, the word is "losing", not "loosing".  I apologize if correcting you
seems rude, but so many people on the Internet make this odd mistake.

Best Wishes :-)
