This is the state of the 5th game between me and gnuchess. What should be white's (i.e mine) next move?

This fucking bitch keeps showing up in UPN TV channel here in the Portland, Oregon area. She is fucking hideous and obnoxious. And the funny part is that she thinks she is really hot. I find this bitch is so creepy that I might altogether stop watching UPN if she keeps showing up.

God… She is such a fugly irritating bitch.

I have done it again! My second successive victory over GNU-Chess. The computer gave stiff competition but lost the game on 53 moves. This victory was sweet as I completely dominated the game and didn’t give my opponent any chance.

I will be playing three more games with the computer. And if I can beat the machine on all these three occasions, GNU-Chess will receive a performance/level raise before our next set of games.


Here is the game in PGN format

I have finally managed to beat gnuchess!!

Gnuchess is a free open source chess program which can be used with a gui frontend xboard (winboard for windows). It is a formidable opponent with an ELO rating of around 2100 with mediocre settings on a 1.3GHz AMD Athlon computer with 512 MB RAM. I decreased its ability by using the following settings :)

% xboard -highlight -size huge -tc 0:01 -xponder -depth 1 -sgf chess/games.log -autosave

Here is the PGN chess file.
