Go up one level in this thread


If I remember the game correctly, Quantum-chess had used up 39 minutes of it's
clock and lost on time at that point.

The online commentators remarked seeing GM's and programmers shaking their heads
saying, 'man, after 150 years, you'd think they would have licked that bug.'

Anyways, I'm beta testing the new version of Quantum and it's results are pretty
spectacular so far (3'+2" blitz match vs. Chad's Chess v0.15).

Regards,
