Go up one level in this thread


>It is possible to score AT LEAST 100 in each chapter,

at LEAST 100??!!@@####!!!
well that takes the wind out of my sails BUT GOOD
here i was thinking i was a bleeping Chessic Genius and i am averaging in the
low 70's

sigh..


>Did you notice the difficulty level increase with Chapter 3? It should also get
noticeably harder in chapters 5 and 7 and 8 (6 isn't too bad, if I recall
correctly).



i notice a large difference in the difficulty in the puzzles starting with
Chapter 5

even the games against the computer get harder in 5..

where i was zipping along at break neck speed in the previous chapters suddenly
i am asked to defeat  the engine in a starting position in which the engine  has
only a slightly inferior  pawn structure .

as if this was not enough i notice the engine is beginning to play better and
better ..whereas in the previous chapters in would move instantly now it is
pondering its move for a few seconds and there are no longer any "free" queen
giveaways

this is quite insidious but great fun

are you absolutely sure you can score AT LEAST 100??####!!!!



Please Dont Answer That  i prefer to believe it was a typo on your part Regards
Steve
