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!

>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
