[Martin]

Ah my first public humiliation, gotta love it.

 

[mikhail]

It's not over yet Martin. And besides, I imagine you've got Fritz running in the backgrouond!

 

[Martin]

I'm out of the loop already, who's Fritz?

 

[mikhail]

Fritz is the name of the most popular and one of the most powerful chess programs aroound. It's multi-processor version drew a classically time controlled match 3-3 (or maybe 4-4) with Kasparov recently.

 

[Martin]

Ah I've probably heard of it then. Evidently it didn't stick in my memory but I remember surfing the site for it a couple of months ago.

 

[mikhail]

I've got to go. See you tomorrow.

 

[kurvengeflüster]

Is the game already over or at the third turn (due to the link above)? I like chess..I used to play in a chess-club but that's ages ago

 

[gray]

It's in progress, but the match will take days to weeks to finish, because AFAIK the two players are in different time zones, and chess takes an age anyway :sleepy:

 

[steveivy]

aha,is that live show???

 

[mikhail]

Yes, it's live! The thing is, as Graham said, it'll take a while to get anywhere.

Oh, and Gray, Martin's in Norway, I'm in Ireland - they might be different timezones, but it's not all that significant. Look at a map.

 

[gray]

Yeah i didn't really think it'd be too much, but oh well...

wake me up when you're done

 

[kurvengeflüster]

a little question...B stands for bishop, right?...what is "N"? we call that piece "horse" or "knight"...or symbolizes it the N in knight?? thx

 

[mikhail]

That's right Basti.
King Queen Rook Bishop kNight.
The N is used because the Konig already uses the K.

 

[gray]

Hey, are we talking about a different game here Basti? I see 3D models representing the pieces

I hope so ... I asked because of the nomenclature beside the chessboard (right)

 

[mikhail]

Graham, he's talking about the game score, to the right of the board. You're looking at the same window.

 

[Torkel]

Wow, a chess game slowed down even more. I hope the forums won't crash due to amount of people from other boards who are gonna come to see this extravaganza...

 

[mikhail]

I once played an email game that was abandoned after a bit over 8 months. The top postal players can take two or three years to get a game finished!
