Rhetoric 1.4.1....¡WOW!

[fern]

I have just played three games against it. All of them at 45 minutes / 40 moves rhythm. I lost them all. In fact, I was ripped in pieces.
Not that that is very rare considering that Rhetoric is a 2700 engine, but, what a wonderful attacking style! It just throw over your heart, take it out of your chest and then eat it before your eyes.
GREAT PROGRAM......

Fern, this sounds like my kind of engine. I'm off to download it now. Thanks for recommending it. I love having another digital chess opponent to hand me my lunch whenever I feel like being humiliated.

Putting my money where my mouth is, I just played my first game against Rhetoric 1.4.1 with material value set to 50% and got checkmated in 16 moves. Wow!

I haven't had this much fun since I took Kathy Gamble to the Drive-in theater when we were in high school in 1966.

Alberto, thanks for a wonderful engine that I know is going to provide me with many hours of fun.

yes, it is extremely strong BUT besides that is a dangerous beast.
BEWARE of his pawns advances.

I think Juan has a winner here...

Thanks for your kind words. It is a pleasure read your comments about the playing style.

Ps: Fern, my name is Alberto, not Juan... Sanjuan is my surname

Cierto, perdona Alberto, un cortocircuito.
Estoy jugando por cuarta vez contra R. Esta vez sostengo mejor la posicion. El truco es tratar de prever toda loca jugada que pueda hacer para desencuajarte....
Es como jugar contra un maldito genio....
