Apr-07-11		Whitehat1963: Currently the hardest Guess-the-Move game in the database, but only 3 plays. Give it your best shot.

Apr-09-11		Whitehat1963: Still the hardest Guess-the-Move game, but only 6 plays. Big shake ups in the list of 40 hardest games in the G-T-M database. A lot of short games have crept to the top, but they aren't necessarily more difficult than many of the others.

Apr-09-11		noah913: I got 6 on guess the move. I'm really surprised that black had a trapped knight so early in the game.

Apr-09-11		ughaibu: What's the most points possible?

Apr-10-11		Whitehat1963: Six. Only the last two moves score in this one, which pretty much guarantees it a place among the hardest 40 for eternity.

Apr-11-11		ughaibu: Thanks. Where's the list?

Apr-11-11		ughaibu: Thanks. I guess that page is only viewable by premmies.

Apr-11-11		Whitehat1963: Yup. I got lucky with a <chessgames.com> Christmas gift. Not sure what I did to get so lucky, but I have put about 3,000 games into the Guess-the-Move database over the years. That's over a third of the games.

May-15-11		kevins55555: <noah913> Same. It's the most you can get.

Dec-02-11		Penguincw: Pretty simple yet difficult.
