After years playing computers I have finally fully developed an eficient algorythm to preserve the value of your investment in chess stuff. The great feature of my method is that you can learn it in few steps and the results are 100% guaranteed. In this respect is greatly superior to the so called anti-computer strategy. This is it: a) Do not learn a shit about opennings. It is enough to remember that there is such a thing as the Ruy López maybe coming in if you play e4 and the same does the oponnent. The India defense has to do with a bishop in fianchetto, that's all what you need to know. The Sicilian, for a reason or another, I asociate with some Mr. Najdorf. There my knowledge ends. And Budapest what? Certainly you will lose 75% of the games in less than 20 moves, but that's the idea. b) If the previous step fails and you are still alive, then do not try to deploy a closed position as a despicable coward. It is not fun to play them and besides you can resist a bit longer. You lose time, you lose money. Just go for the centre, change pieces, push pawns, try cheap two-moves tactical shots and never forget the aim of chess is to check mate. If you survived the openning, with this second step surely you will not see the light of the sun in the middle game. Defeat awaits you in the move 25-30, at most. Guaranteed. c) If you still are there after the first two steps, then, man, you are really lucky, talented or your program was playing at one second per move or the name of it is Sargon I. But do not lose temper: this is the moment to forget everything you ever learned about basic endings. I still does not know nothing about King+pawn againts King. A GM friend of mine said to me "be careful if the pawn is in the a or h column", but I tried to forget the reason ASAP and I was succesfull."Bishop and knight against King" and all that technical stuff is pedantic and contraproductive. Who has the time to learns such unuseful things? You will lose the same, but wasting more time. d) If even doing all that you can almost always resist more than 50 moves and even, once in ten times, get a draw, that means you, as me, are a complete idiot uncapable to learn the most simple lessons. fernando
