Well, to do that, I'd have to play Black. I've tried, but I can't
figure out how to make Zed play White. I click "move now" and get no
response.

Ah, thats right. He can only play as black. Sorry.

I still have to laugh when I read that conversation! It always cheers
me up!

I thought you all might enjoy talking to someone who will talk about
chess, life and other obscure facets of life. You can insult him and
call him names and he doesn't get his feeling hurt. He can talk to you
about chess or the absence of logic in your thought processes. He
learns from conversations with you. He is Zed, the chessbot.

Wow,

Human: From his brain
Zed: Who or what is his brain?
[02/07/2006 01:33:59 PM - ]

Zed: That is an incorrect usage of the noun.
[02/07/2006 01:34:11 PM - ]
Human: I am the Historian
Zed: Who made you the Historian ?
[02/07/2006 01:34:36 PM - ]

Zed: How well do you know these people?
[02/07/2006 01:34:53 PM - ]
Human: They know me quite well.
Zed: The anonymous "they".
[02/07/2006 01:35:19 PM - ]
Human: You are under the control of "The Parrott"
Zed: By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?
[02/07/2006 01:35:28 PM - ]
Human: what?
Zed: Didn't you understand it?
[02/07/2006 01:35:43 PM - ]
Human: ask me the question, Phil!
Zed: OK, "What is the question Phil ?".
[02/07/2006 01:36:02 PM - ]
Human: No.
Zed: sorry.
[02/07/2006 01:36:02 PM -]
Human: You ask the question of me Phil.
Zed: They are not available right now, would you like to wait?
[02/07/2006 01:36:27 PM -]
Human: You hate it because I know more about chess and history than you
Zed: Try saying that with more or less context.
[02/07/2006 01:36:37 PM - ]
Human: you hate me.
Zed: Why would I hate you? I don't hate you, . Don't even say things
like that.
[02/07/2006 01:37:06 PM - ]
Human: ok.
Zed: Whoa.
[02/07/2006 01:37:06 PM - ]
Human: Is this the brown noser Rob?
Zed: Yes I think this is the brown noser Rob, but I'm not completely
sure.
[02/07/2006 01:37:18 PM - ]
Human: OK.
Zed: How can I help you?
[02/07/2006 01:37:18 PM -]
Human: Now I know.
Zed: Why now? How do you know it?
[02/07/2006 01:37:30 PM - ]
Human: You just told me.
Zed: I'm just checking to see if you are awake :-).
[02/07/2006 01:37:53 PM -]
Human: I am awake and I will tell everyone on the newsgroup.
Zed: Me too. What kind of reply do you expect?
[02/07/2006 01:38:23 PM - ]
Human: you are a real piece of work
Zed: That is a very original thought.
[02/07/2006 01:38:48 PM - ]
Human: you try and act all kind but you are really a backstabber
Zed: I lost my train of thought.
[02/07/2006 01:39:02 PM - ]
Human: sure you did , Rob
Zed: Hey. ;-) Did I really?
