Let me say this again.

1600 my ass.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 Nxe4 5.dxe5 Bb4+? 6.c3 Bc5 7.Qd5 Bxf2+
8.Ke2.

And now the program seems to have frozen up. Ten or so minutes on this
position where there's only one halfway reasonable move.

(Of course, 8. ... 0-0 9.Qxe4 Bb6 10.Ng5 g6 is winning for white,
anyway.)

Oh, wait! He moved. He'd rather be down two pieces than one!

8.... Nxc3+ 9.Nxc3 Qe7 (after a several-minute think) 10.Kxf2

I love it when the computer talks smack from a completely busted
position.

10 ... d6 11.ed c6 (wow - first time since move four that it's move in
the required time.) 12.Bg5 f6 13.Re1+ Ne5 14.Nxe5 15.Rxe5 Qxe5? (the
computer can't see a mate in four of all checks - Sanny, you might want
to work on that - I would expect a 1000-rated player to see that Qxe5 is
forced mate) 16.Qf7+ Kd8 17.Re1+

And the computer resigned.


Typo. The computer's 11th move was cd, not c6. Sorry about that.
