I Googled up a free chess site to see if I could beat the computer. (I'm playing white.)
The computer will lose in eight moves...
I moved my G pawn up a square. The computer's Knight is more interested in my Bishop. | |
"Thank you for the pawn," says I.
The computer is planning something nasty with its Queen. | |
"Thank you for the pawn again," I say. The right side of the
board is now wide open...
But the computer is just wondering why I'm letting it trade a Knight for my Bishop. | |
Ka-ching! Hi there! My queen wishes to visit your king!
Shall we "mate" in the upper-right corner?
Black makes the "Oh my god!" move. That Bishop's a goner. | |
My Queen retreats to take the Bishop. "Ha!" gloats the computer. "I have freed a square where my King can flee. "So your 'mate' threats are for naught." | |
My Queen chases the Black King out of row 8. Count 'em down, now. "Three..." | |
Two... | |
Humankind is victorious! |
