Go up one level in this thread


Thanks for all your replies! Keep them coming =)

I just discovered the awesomeness of http://postcardchess.com/ so now I'm
playing with all my friends at a nice casual pace =P

I highly recommend you guys check out http://thepixiepit.co.uk/scrabble it's the
same thing but with Scrabble (if you like that game, it's another one of my
favorites).

Slightly off topic: how good are computer chess programs these days? I don't
mean Deep Blue, I mean your average downloadable chess software. Can most good
players still beat them?

I was reading up on Deep Blue lol, and even though Kasparov lost I think the
fact that Deep Blue does 200,000,000 calculations per second and the fact that
Kasparov is just a man is really a testament to the power of the mind. If it
takes 200,000,000 calculations per second to beat the human brain that is one
powerful human brain lol.

Also, has anyone ever tried team chess? As in, stick 5 grandmasters in a room so
they can talk the game over and have them play against Kasparov as a team? (or
some other variant of that sort of thing). Just curious!

Thanks for your replies =)
