Go up one level in this thread


excellent essay!
however i must respectfully disagree on one minor  point

using a nice board and pieces  to play against a  PC program still requires the
player to watch the screen.make your move with  a mouse etc etc
for me at least it interferes with the natural way of playing chess..

this however is a small point and your essay gets to the heart of matter quite
nicely

i do think of my computers as real opponents,players  with different playing
styles and nuances
this is one reason why i get so upset if one of them suddenly becomes defective
its as if i can no longer meet this particular opponent in battle across the
board..and it is very sad

Best Regards
Steve
