Go up one level in this thread


If you really want to how I last to move 20, before the start of the game I
>remove its queen, rooks, knights, bishops and 7 pawns, and I still get crushed.


I was a bit intrigued when i read your post
i decided to try this against one of my stronger dedicated units. and see how
long i could last. i pulled a 2200 Elo unit off the shelf and having decided to
allow it the KNP i set up..
THE STARTING POSITION:

[D]4k3/6p1/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQ - 0 1

this particular computer had the "Resign feature" ..when the computer determined
the evaluation was worse then -10.00 it would offer to resign

of course i could have immediatley accepted this right from the getgo ..and
chaulked up the win..but i was feeling a bit cocky and actually thought i could
win from this position if not draw


as play began i was overcome by the totally clear path to queening my pawns

as if mesmorized by this concept i started marching pawns full speed ahead
queening one after the other in an orgasmic pawn promotion frenzy..

until we had reached blacks 17th move...
i did not notice that the computer at this point was no longer offering to
resgin..

BLAck TO MOVE..17

 [D] QQ1QQ3/8/8/8/6k1/6p1/5P1P/6BK b - - 0 1

sigh...
oh well..almost made move 20!
