Thread: Impossible chess flash game

  1. #1

    Default Impossible chess flash game

    Thinking Machine 4: Play the Game

    I dare someone to beat the computer on this thing.

    I'm not a chess player by any means, but I do like a challenge. This thing thinks through every move. I've lost every time. If you win, printscreen it, because I still think that it's impossible to win.

    I doubt it's "impossible" I doubt they fit a chess super computer onto Java. You probably do have to be pretty good.

    The issue wasn't in building a computer powerful enough to play chess, it was in building one fast enough to run sufficiently good chess programs. The bigger feat was in running the thing fast enough that a quick game is viable. I agree that they likely haven't got it good enough yet that a championship-level program can get through a flash game, but I wouldn't be surprised if it played an extremely challenging game.

    It's not letting me castle.

    Edit: It's not impossible, but I'm blundering like nuts. D:

    Edit 2: XD. I just noticed that it took the fool's mate into consideration in the opening.

    I've been watching chess strategies and things to get the basic idea... jrobichess on YouTube. But regardless of what I do, there's always a hole in my plans, and the computer's are kosher.

    It's very pretty, which is good, because at least I can watch the pretty while I get my butt kicked.

    For some reason I can't find the game. Just instructions.

    For such a great player he sure seems to suck. He plays like a freaking newbie. I play 4 moves and we've exchanged queens(because he played stupid opening moves), wtf kind of noob player does that? The idea of the game is to win pieces or to gain strength by sacrificing smaller pieces to gain stronger ones.

    ..Just to exchange them makes for a lousy game.

    Also, it'd be a lot faster if it didn't have the stupid flashes.

    Sneaky bastard machine ponders every possible move and counter-move each time you do something. Hardly seems fair

    While the computer may win nearly every time, at least I can make my moves a lot faster...

    This one isn't even that bad, I've played a computer chess game that calculated 12 steps ahead on every possible move and counter-move.

    God, that was a fast beat. xD

    Not always, PuPu is much better then me, especially at fooling me into pins with most pieces, where me having a Queen makes that much easier, so exchanging Queens theoretically gives no one an advantage, but in actuality it helped him. xD

    Actually, the point of the game is to win. Did you win?

    That time I restarted, but I won the fifth game.
