Well the brain is getting a good battering now. PostingAlwaysPosting is giving me a good run for my money and I'm getting my backside kicked by someone in the states. It's a great free site and well worth checking out (https://www.redhotpawn.com). Sadly it's blocked from work so I can't play during the day (they obviously can't spell and have misunderstood the site name)

Actually the real reason for posting was to show you another site I found which I thought was really weird (in a good way). Seems to be part of a suite of sites and programs which are trying to graphically depict non-visual / non-tangible concepts such as thought and sound in a visual medium. I hope I'm not sounding to 'up myself' there. Anyhoo this one is a chess program that lets you see the computers train of thought ("the invisible, elusive nature of thought").

Notice how the more powerful pieces on the board give of ripples of energy, and how the computers various options are scribbled on the board before it makes it's move

Whatever - it's still a good chess program to practice against

If I remember correctly there is a way of beating your opponent in something like 6 moves! I remember doing it to my dad when I was about 12 and I didn't let him forget it for ages! :rotfl:

I know this is an old thread, but just had to say you can get checkmate in 2 moves!
