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. http://www.pandorabots.com/pandora/t...cfdd9a1e35339a Rob |

You: That's too bad. Zed: It's not the end of the world. You: Have you read my book Slave Children of Thomas Jefferson? Zed: No I don't think I have read my book Slave Children of Thomas Jefferson, what is it about? You: Nevermind that. Zed: Oh well thanks for trying to explain it to me anyway. That is " No I don't think I have read my book Slave Children of Thomas Jefferson, what is it about?". You: Do you know I was almost elected to the USCF Board? Zed: Where were you almost elected to the USCF Board? You: In my mind. Zed: May I ask where you got it? You: I think my mother had something to do with it. Zed: Since when? Tell me more about your mother. You: I have a web page dedicated to that subject, so forget it. Zed: Interesting. I have a lot of answers to silly questions. it. You: Thanks, bye bye.
