I've not beaten it yet on the easiest level, although I draw a lot (which it dosn't seem to have an option to offer a draw nice one apple).

I guess it is because such program cannot play chess but does not make blunders :) |
Chess news: Kramnik Surges Ahead at Tal Memorial -- With convincing wins in Rounds 3 and 4, Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, the former world chess champion, has taken the lead of the strong Tal Memorial tournament in Moscow.

Tournament of Stars -- The Tal Memorial, honoring the brilliant Latvian world chess champion, is underway in Moscow. Mikhail Tal (1936-1992) won the world chess title in 1960 and had great results throughout his playing career. But he is mostly remembered for the way he played. He enriched the chess world with incredible attacks and beautiful combinations, taking the element of risk to the edge. He was a wonderful storyteller who turned commenting on games into an art. It was a pleasure to work with him. The Tal Memorial, which ends Saturday, is called the "tournament of stars." By coincidence, the Soviets insisted on the same name 30 years ago for the tournament I organized in Montreal. It was ... A Bad Night at the Board -- “Nobody told me there would be days like these, strange days indeed.” (John Lennon) Hikaru Nakamura is the reigning United States chess champion and ranked No. 24 in the world. He is one of the best chess players the United States has ever produced. As good as he is, it has probably been a very long time, if ever, since he played a game like the one he was involved in on Wednesday night. Nakamura was playing in the quarterfinals of the United States Chess League for the Seattle Sluggers and his team faced the Miami Sharks, who are led by Julio Becerra. Becerra is unquestionably a good chess player. He is a grandmaster and he is ranked No. 477 in the world among ... | |
