We blow up innocent people all the time and we do nothing to fix that, there’s no other conclusion that can be drawn other than that such loss is acceptable to us.

This doesn’t cause people to join terrorist organizations though, nope. They just hate us for our freedoms.

war… what a concept – we need more practice for when we’re exclusively using robots and drones…

…maybe one solution is not having any allies.

Max, a few years ago wasn’t there a big deal about a computer winning a chess match against a Master?

Deep blue waxed Kasparov’s ass in 1997.

Kramnik, then still the World Champion, played a six-game match against the computer program Deep Fritz (available for the PC) in Bonn, Germany from November 25 to December 5, 2006, losing 4–2 to the machine

In 2009 a chess engine running on slower hardware, a 528 MHz HTC Touch HD mobile phone, reached the grandmaster level. The mobile phone won a category6 tournament with a performance rating 2898.

Thanks, Max, I only remember one which must have been the Deep Blue. I sort of lost interest in chess some years back, but my Cousin Judge wants to learn to play. That will be an even match — by the way, which way does the Knight move?

The Black Knight moves slightly to block Arthur and declares “None shall pass”.

Hah! Tell me again how many million opening moves there are (approximately, of course)….. and does it matter whether black or white moves first?

20.

White always moves first.

the white question was a joke — from some joke about 20 years ago, and that’s all I remember

Chess has the power to make men happy.

They all look the same.

12 friendlies dead in two years? In Vietnam and wars prior that was called a typical afternoon.
