In the early eighties a friend of mine and me were playing with a chess computer, I think it was a Chess Chalenger or something. We discovered that we were allowed to set up illegal positions, so we changed all pawns to kings and got this position: [D]rnbqkbnr/kkkkkkkk/8/8/8/8/KKKKKKKK/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1 My friend played 1. Nc3, the computer answered something like 1... Kee6 and now my friend did the crushing move 2. Nb5# mate :) Another good story that happened recently was the one where both computers in a tournament had the same bug in their opening book and when one did a serious mistake, by trying to give away a knight or something, the other computer ignored it because it had the same error in the book and kept on playing from it. I am sure somebody here remembers the story and has the game stored. Regards Andreas
