Elisha normally always plays the Sicilian Defense against e4. But, I normally don't use that Qf3 opening either. There's an old game with Capablanca where Black was mated with a queen sacrifice using this opening, and Elisha clearly remembering that game, chose to forfeit early because he realized that Nf6 was a mistake LOL I like the Ruy Lupez against e5, and then Fischer's attack against Spassky's Morphy's Defense in 72.

Remind me not to play chess against either of you..... I used to play as a kid and enjoyed it and wasn't to bad as a kid, but I never continued it and whilst I recognise some of those terms, I ahve long forgotten what that one or this one means....... I certainly recognise the board setout above, having used both the attack and defense above, but I reckon that right now I would last about ten moves against either of you...... Maybe.

I studied chess theory RELIGIOUSLY when I was a teenager. I had all of Horowitz, Spassky, Lasker and Bobby Fischer's games memorized and a few from the 1800s. Too bad Fischer turned out to be a humongous Jew hater, even though he himself was Jewish. But then a better Russian Jew came along and took his spot (Kasparov) so no biggie

The game doesn't appear to work well in real time, so I need to find a different one or spend some time debugging it to figure out what code is missing or what is redundant.

Elisha just beat me on a regular board, so I better post it and confess before he logs on and brags about it. First time he's beat me in years, and of course, right after I get done trash talking

There is a guy associated with Answers in Genesis that has a party trick of playing multiple opponents - I think occasionally blindfolded.....
I remember Kasparov - I remember being in awe of him. Wasn't he the one they put deep blue up against, taking it away and improving it and challenging him again until it finally beat him?
The extra information you just gave has made my mind up - I am NEVER playing chess against you. :lol:

Bobby Fischer used to do that. He would play sometimes up to 20 boards at a time against young students.
I have tried playing multiple boards, but the most I've ever been successful at was 2 boards at once. Blindfolded I've tried, but always had a hard time keeping up once the end game started after about 30 moves or so. Most chess players have the opening 10-15 moves memorized (Ruy Lupez, Morphy's, Sicilian and all it's variations (Najdorf, Dragon)and then the attacks against the Sicilian like Scandanavian and Yugoslav Attacks. The Kings Indian Defense against Queen pawn openings, Center Game or Center Counter game [whether white chooses the exchange of e4xd5], or Gambits like Kings Gambit [1. e4 e5 2. f4....] etc...) so the initial stages of the game usually move pretty quick.
Yes, it was Kasparov that played the Blue, and I think it won a few times. Not sure what final score was but I think Kasparov was still ahead. I believe Aland also played a super computer with similar results. Aland and Karpov are the most impressive since Kasparov and Fischer.
