   I took a class once where we had to write a program to play chess and checkers. While checkers had a much simpler scoring system, the move generation was more complicated to program because of forced moves. Still, the checker program was able to look a little further ahead in the game tree than the chess program(we only had two minutes to calculate each move). Neither one was simple to write. I see that the solution to checkers was solved in 2007. The solution is a draw if both players play flawlessly. Maybe one day our machines will have enough memory and processing power to solve chess.

My brother was better than me at chess, but I could beat him sometimes because I would take forever between moves.  He would go back to watching tv when it was my turn to move.   He inevitably would rush his moves to get the game moving along and make mistakes.  That's my trick!

It was not so easy...

(I played chess for 8 years BTW)

I often use the Italian Opening. But the Russian Hussar Game is also very good.

Well you don't seem beginner. You were good and you could be a perfect player if you would practice more. This last game was a bit disappointed for me. You would have to won. (I did that button mistake). Anyway congrats!

Well I made a mistake by trading queens at the end. Before that trade, I thought I had the game.

Check out some strategies. I played 4 games today. 3(or 4?) with you and 1 with Sarah. I won.

I have a time for a party, so a chess? Who does want?

Unfortunately, some of the champion chess-playing Jews have been monstrously self-hating, such as the late Bobby Fischer (ys"vz).

PS to the best of my knowledge, Kasparov is only half-Jewish (Jewish father). I don't think he is a halachic Jew.

You know which chess player really gets me upset?

His name was Bobby Fisher... I have heard that I may be distantly related to this putz. I used to have a autographed copy of one of his chess books... Thank Hashem I lost it and I hope this anti-semite is having a field day in hell right now...

Anti-Jewish statements

Fischer, whose mother was Jewish,[112][213] made occasional hostile comments toward Jews from at least the early 1960s.[112][214] In 1961, he "made his first public statements despising Jews."[215] Jan Hein Donner wrote that at the time of Bled 1961, "He idolized Hitler and read everything about him that he could lay his hands on. He also championed a brand of antisemitism that could only be thought up by a mind completely cut off from reality."[89] Donner writes that he took Fischer to a war museum, which "left a great impression, since he is not an evil person, and afterwards he was more restrained in his remarks—to me, at least".[89]
