I just had to post this warning to all chess programers and computer account managers. Having a computer try to play instantly just to win on time is a bad idea. Here is a game that a 2400+ program lost to me but used only about 5 secs the whole game !! and It was a five minute game. Even if it won I would think it in poor taste to just try to win on time :( For me there is nothing to be learned in playing such games and so I won't be playing dingbat again. I am no blitz wiz by no means and have in fact loss alot more than I have won against chesstiger for palm at 5:00. And so for a comp. to loss to me at 5:00 is really bad. Here is the game judge for yourself. [Event "Online game"] [Site "chess.net"] [Date "2002.10.06"] [Round "?"] [White "Eriq"] [Black "Dingbat"] [Result "1-0"] 1. e4 e6 2. d4 b5 3. Bxb5 Bb7 4.
