I found myself getting mad at Math.random() pretty quickly. "Argh, you just got to promote two pawns, and you made them both black bishops!?!? I oughta fire you and hire an LFSR!"
- Patrick_Devine 12y agoI had exactly the same reaction. I was thinking it was going to be hilarious to watch, but it turned out to be extremely aggravating. The random pawn promotion was particularly egregious. I'm curious if other people had the same visceral reaction.
- schoen 12y agoI was fairly disturbed by the repeated pointless sacrifices of major pieces (which typically aren't even accepted: black offers its queen in exchange for nothing, and white doesn't capture it!).
- gjm11 12y agoYes. I found it really quite distressing to watch.
- cgriswald 12y agoI did. White had two queens to black's none. It promoted a pawn and made it... a knight. And it was all by itself too. That part was hilarious, but... In the endgame black had only a king and a pawn and the pawn was hung up on another pawn in the g column. Black's king was trapped in column a by two white rooks in the b column. White managed to create a stalemate with black king at a5 and white rooks at b4 and b6.
- jrockway 12y agoAt least it's no longer allowed to promote to an opponent's piece. Otherwise, I imagine the computer would do that 50% of the time.
- raverbashing 12y agoYeah, now just plug a genetic algorithm to it, and let it evolve.
