Feb-21-05  DanielBryant: What could the computer have possibly seen on moves 19 and 20?
Feb-21-05  aw1988: LOL, talk about bad computing.
Mar-15-05  soberknight: I nominate the BEST PUN EVER, especially since I'm an ardent Red Sox fan:

"Who's your daddy?"

Sep-12-06  DutchDunce: Papa Smurf vs. Kermit the Frog?

White should play on. There is plenty of play left in the final position. I had a near-identical position against my computer (K vs. K+R+B+5P) and drew it. True story.

Of course, I had it on the super-moron level...which means I had to play like a super-duper-moron to even get that far behind.

Sep-12-06  hellstrafer: <"Who's your daddy?">

Lol, agreed!

Sep-12-06  Chess Lou Zer: Daa-aaad! Learn to RESIGN! It's over. Quit already, will ya? Fine. All right, keep playing. There are you satisfied yet? Okay, now you only have your king left. Had enough yet?
Sep-12-06  RandomVisitor: Some of the chess programs competing in the early tournaments were being modified right up to the day of the tournament.

These programs were not thoroughly debugged. It seems that papa decided to play the worst move possible instead of the best.

Sep-12-06  Chess Lou Zer: Papa, don't preach, 'cause you're in trouble deep!
Oct-30-07  xeroxmachine: Hoho! da compoter doosnt know when to resogn! LOLOLZ
Jan-23-09  GannonKnight: I like moves 23-25 where papa gave away three pawns in a row. Sometimes I think that the guy who wrote this program works in my company's IT department. Or at least sometimes it seems that way.
