I Cannot Stop Playing Rethoric...

Post by fern »

It has defeated me in every game, even in those where I concentrate enough to play all the 40 moves in 15 minutes :-)
No way....I can resist more, I can be near a draw, but R. always find a way to crush me at the end.
I have not enjoyed so much an engine since the good old days of cstal....
It became an addiction...

Where do you find all these obscure chess engines?I will hunt it
down and punish it for what it did to you.

PS Did you spell it right? Sure it's not "Rhetoric"?

It's possible to make a nice logo from the first picture "classical rhetoric"

Isn't better to rest?
Still learning how to play chess...

Slaves are only allowed to rest if master says so. So maybe better add a feature that sets the program on pause. Like an anti RSI program.

I have spent a lot, but I do not consider it lost time. Anyway I multitask: as I am writing, I play.... I DO NOT just play chess as before. maybe if I do I would get better results, But I do not care.
Now is time to create also a successful GUI, as such the engine already is....!!!

It is not an obscure engine and certainly it was easy to get: it has been offered right here by the author, Alberto Sanjuan
