I have read posts from people who say that learning to play chess against a computer by taking cheap shots is not going to improve your chess strength blah blah blah. If thats your view you may be disgusted by his request. I want to know what the best ways to beat some of the older programs are. I realize there is no set way to beat the best programs now but what about the older ones? What are the latest and strongest programs that still fall for some traps? how many fall pray to the stonewall attack? Could someone list these programs and which really botch it so bad that a patzer like myself could win? What about chessmaster 2000? how strong is that program on a 486 or even a p2 or k6? anyone have any idea? I really hope this post gets some responses because I really want to play a program *at full strength* and win. I hven't played any of the older programs besides CM2000 what are some of the traps these others fall into? I noticed that gnu chess(don't know what version) on my mac sometimes plays a terrible version of the scotch with an early ...Qh4. Allowing me to win. Any other finds like this? thanks Joe
