Go up one level in this thread


It's what they call the KISS -principle: keep it stupid and simple.

You won't regret Junior - don't forget to register online immediately for the
patch to download.

A lot of people here are interested in these kind of positions because it may
tell them something about the dynamics of a chess program. If you're just a
chess playing man, and no programmer, and as chess is told us to be 90% tactics,
I wouldn't be distressed at a lost opportunity or two by Junior.

As a playing/sparring partner these programs are so patient, and ready whenever
you are - "hey buddy, it's 3 o'clock in the night, wanna play a game?"  "<Yawn,
grunt> Who is that idiot? Is that you Tim?" "Yeah, hey, come down, you lazy
sleep! Let's play chess!!" "<face turning red> You know what Tim - here - go
play" "Ouch, ouch! No, no, not the chess board, ow, that queen hurts!!" "Good
night, Tim <slamming of window>" - never will you encouter such a friend when
asking Junior :)

And the programs are also valuable as a support for training and analysis. Maybe
*you* have to find the strategic themes, *it* will find the tactical blunders in
your analysis.

Have fun.
