Now that's what some people would call the Breakfast Of Champions, and who are we to rebuke them harshly?

Admittedly it's been a few months since I read that Vonnegut but I don't recall Ritz and Easy Cheese being in there.

Survived it, even. Perhaps not with your dignity intact, but survival is survival.

My dignity was indeed hit.

Probably because they weren't. It's not you, it's everything else.

In awe at the AI in this silly chess game I got on my phone for castling, something I've never seen any other AI do and a rule in chess I completely forget exists.

The singularity is probably coming soon, yeah. And when it comes, let’s just hope it isn’t an AI literally designed to defeat humans.

Man, one of these days I’ll learn how to play chess.
And Go. Go seems fun.

Chess is fun.
Go is glorified checkers.

Am I a bad player if I can't defeat the chess AI on my basic chess app in Mac Book?

Not that much. Computers are very good at chess.

It's not even so much that they are supposed to be strong: computers are just good at chess by default. In fact, on easier settings in chess games the ai is actually deliberately hindered so that they occasionally make stupid mistakes.

But does it know how to combine all remaining pieces into a Megachessatron? Or send a spy into your team and inspire a schism among your bishops? Huh?

Wait so is the AI unbeatable?

Or is there a trick (like a special opening/pattern) I can use to win?

Maybe if I do this I'll be able to convince KFC to bring back the Double Down permanently. I just need to convince a rapper.

I haven't checked my personal Email in about a fortnight and not taken a look at any other website social media thing in about the same amount of time. I'm now afraid to look at it and find out people desperately needed me for something 5 days ago.

Not really. Well maybe. Probably. But I did mean to mention this as an exception, silly me
