Just follow the tears.

I - or others - can explain some things later on, but you certainly understand that neither will I give away ideas that in the future of the match maybe will become relevant and so giving them away early would be to my disadvantage, nor will I say anything that compromises Bill or works to his disadvantage. But to have a little chatter and talk about events earlier in the game that are no longer relevant is the idea behind having this all as a public exibition match on a board where people can watch, else players could just play either via PM or on an online site or - in my case - prefer to just launch a chess app, give it a handicap and then play the AI. Because honestly said, and speaking for myself only, if I want to play a live match at the board/table in one rush, i do not car whether I play a human or an app. To m e its the same result: I play an opponent in one rush, in one session. Mostly, I do not do that. The fun of this match for me lies in the setting of a forum match.

At home I sometimes run longtime matches against the chess app on my PC dektop, I open it once a day, get the AI's moves (after frustratingly short time...) and then think on my move, and maybe go in and out of that app severla times over the day, until I enter a move. That way I play a match with the AI over several days, as if it were CC. The qualit yof my plays is on a much hiughe rlkevel this way, becasue I run much lower risk to fall for stupid easy mistakes and overlooking things, and sometimes good ideas ripe wioth time, not in just ten mionutes of analysis. I know how it feels to sit 3 or 4 hours at the board and table in a tournament, I did that at school age and immediately after school, in s club, but I never liked it, and never liked tournament settings at all. Today, I just do not have the patience for such things. Hours and hours, no. I run in intervals now.



I have Fritz 11, so its very old now. I had other engiones, too, but I do not care anymore.


Same way I do sometimes with my Android mobiles. Here, i mostly use Shredder for Android. Genius also is isntalled. For sentimental reasons and remembering the good ol' times.

But there are so many good choices, and evertyhing that was coded in the past ten years or so is a killer if not run with handicaps or auto-adjusting difficulty levels (very good method, btw.). Chess in parts has become a "solved" game, like Checkers.
