    I beat chessmaster 6000 years ago. it then gives you the option of printing off a certificate to say you have beaten him :cool:

    I have emerged victorious from some very heated battles with Fritz, but only after having crippled his thought capacity to that of a mentally challenged person. The program is really quite insulting too, he comments on your moves as you make them and will pull you up on taking back a move.

    Arrogant swine.

    I found some games I played online against a computer in 2003. It was just someone's home project, apparently written in 2000-1. It was pretty decent at fast games but I'd probably beat it now at a longer game (the ones where I beat it 5 years ago, I got lucky).

    this one was 15 minutes each, I was Black
