ive been trying to loosen up the ole noodle by playing some computer chess lately. i played as a child, and really very little as an adult.

the program im playing is interesting. it seems that if i try to play a slow thoughtfull game, it is impossible to win.

however, if i go total kamikazie (sp?), i can often win. it seems that rather than thinking, this idiot is crazy, and and knowing a proper action to take, it freaks out and goes purely defensive.

the thing that REALLY p!sses me off, is that frequently if i can get to a position of chasing the king alone with multi pieces left, it declares a stalemate when it has open flight moves left.

the question: if i do not checkmate a lone king in a certain number of moves, is that a stalemate?

OH NO!, the card says "Moops"
