Oops of course you knew it and did not annotate this immediately leaving me to think I have it right. Not that its about winning or loosing. I did not have a board and its not about winning at this stage but really would you or could you put yourself into this position?

Or is there one even at this stage?

I'm drunk on absinthe straight 130 proof and I'm sure you don't care about the position mine, and after correspondence knowing you can not solve my untenable position not by a long shot , maybe to satisfy some curiosity,

Watching on the road the film and thinking. What mmm ow what now what is the untanBle position , and no one but no one can advise on it.

But forget the innuendo and if there is an ending which appears vey remote now, but if there may be one lets continue and let me keep on guessing.

[Meno_]

So let me be searching for the right move but without any hint if there is one. Is there one? Don't tell me.

As the horizon gleams now it seems there is no hope only doom. I had to think about your stratagem for a good while and then I decided the checking option was viable. In the real game he played something else and doom ensued equally. Perhaps some future genius will be able to win the match for black but this is the game as it was played yesterday between me and a loser who shall remain unknown. A King of Gauls.

From the looks of this set up , Your suggestion of a supercomputer or a genius perhaps capable of solution on top of Your other suggestion ,, leads to another implication that again, You may have had the answer to the knight move being erroneous all along
.

You agreed with the knight move only to disprove it , and my feeling is that You were quite aware of that bad move immediately, but waited as if to give the impression that the move was yet untested.

Now if the terrible position was an intentional clever ploy, on part of some master or master computer , to set this up so brilliantly, the set up may be a de facto level of playing deserving theabel of master or master intelligence.

However , if the above scenario is not correc, t then all bets are off, and I don't care how many moves the search goes back to find an error, or a stream of errors, there is no implicitness of higher functioning because supercomputers are able at this time to defeat any human master
.
It really can not be admitted that any such scenario is yet present in artificial or human intelligence" therefore it is worth now at this moment to decide. wether other then a hunch, this may be the case.

On that slim argument , tending toward the former suggestion its quite possible to find some satisfactory answer , therefore a further look at this apparently bad position is worth a second look.

Maybe the suggestive nature of the presentation of this is position more than a a far strung implication.

[Meno_]

Maybe c3-e5

[Meno_]

I will try to work this move and I don't expect You to so the work that I should be doing , but right now I am going through marital problems and habe a lot on my plate. I will get to this move later on today possibly. Other than this move there does not appear to be anything else viable. But maybe I'm not seeing it.

[Meno_]

Latest fix by Google Al -in only 4 hours it learned all of chess history!

AlphaZero beat the leading computer -Stockfish 25%of the time playing white, 3 playing black, and drew the remaining with no wins for Stockfish.

After being thought only rudimentary badics!

[Fixed Cross]

playing chess against a computer for a while after against humans shows death.

Lols aren't possible.

Now You can imagine how the masters feel who think they were betrayed. Bobby Fisher earned 3,500,000.00 for his Belgrade win.

Well deserved.
How is Belgrade?

Bobby Fisher was homeless in downtown Los Angeles also, had a Hungarian chess master girlfriend while in Budapest.He passed in Reikavik and believe one of his parents was Hungarian.I will look into the game and try get back.

[Fixed Cross]

Ive been through Reykyavik airport a few times. You can look out over the rocky earth surface and get some view of Iceland. I also know an Icelandic girl, and their runes. But I need to still go to it and bathe in geysers.

Played a very bad defence, looked like I was going to get stupidly mated but sneaked away out at great cost and then still managed to win.

[Meno_]

I don't have a descent board now, but soon I will get one, and will go through the games. I saw Fisher play in Santa Monica .ca.1969? (around there) playing exhibition, at his prime, full house, it was worth standing there a couple of hours.

[newegg]

i usually win at chess nowadays. Not because im that smart at it but, that the others are just so dumb.

it seems this game has hacks.
we need a new game, maybe with a random roll factor involved in it. chess is 1000 years old it needs a patch.

[Meno_]

There is an old story aboutb chess boards.

There is am Ottoman potentate and this guy does something great for him and the potentate walkss toward him and tells him he could ask for anything reasonable from him.


The guy very modestly tells the potentate that all he asks for is 1 grain of rice on the first square on a chessboard and double that on the next and then double that yet again.

The potentate thinks the guy has lost it and he gladly goes for it. thinking he got off cheap


The potentate calls his vezeer and orders him to execute the order.

The vezeer comes back after a while looking ashen pale and tells the potemtate that the order is impossible to carry out because all the harvest of all the potemtate's fields are inadequate to provide the said rice.

[Fixed Cross]

My father told me this story as he taught me the rules of the game.

It is frustrating, my development. I have two accounts, one is at above 1700 and the other around 1300.
I have often enough quickly defeated 1700 players and often honorlessly fallen against lowly incompetents - amongst whom I must thus still count myself.

Its been only half a year that Ive been playing with some regularity though.
But it tells you something about the danger of dwelling among lesser minds.

It seems chess is a different kind of animal lower down he ranks. There is a lot of hacking and blind luck.
