Hi
My program just "excelled" itself with my favourite worst ever move.
This shambles wasn't due to an obvious bug as such, more just to lack of search
depth. Here is the position
[D]2r3k1/1b2n1bp/p2N4/1p6/6Q1/1P6/1PqN1PPP/R5K1 b - - 0 30
My program was playing black, my opponent offered me 2 tempting hung pieces
adjacent to my queen. My program avoided the knight capture, but couldn't resist
gobbling up the white pawn on b2.
Can you see the outcome of this move just be looking at the position? I couldnt
really see it, but most computer analysis will show it very quickly.
Hint: I got smothered, very elegantly !!
The other reason I found this quite amusing was the opponent that trapped me
into this blunder. Was it Shredder?, Junior?, Fritz? , nope just humble old TSCP
:-)
Anyone else got a favorite clanger that wasn't due to just an obvious bug ?
Regards Geoff
