Go up one level in this thread
hi Tom You can make it play illegal moves if you hit the play button when the >game is over. i did not notice that! i just tried this out and you are right! :)) can i ask you ,what made you try this out?? to see if it would make illegal moves,or did you just press the play button by accident after the game and you noticed this?? great observation! >It also likes to commit blatant suicide from time to time for no >apparent reason on the lower levels. Not sure if its a bug or a feature. probably just the way the program allocates time it probably spent alot of time on the earlier moves and had little allocated time left..so it made a move with a small 1 or 2 ply look ahead..resulting in diaster i would call this a nice "chess ego building feature " :)) BTW... Fidelity released 3 plug-in modules for the Mini if you open up the back of the unit you will see an empty slot for the modules one of the modules was the CAC(Advanced chess module) which increased the number of levels to 8 and made the program slightly stronger keep an eye out for these modules on Ebay every now and again one of them pops up Best Regards Steve >
