with the fallout fixt mod is it possible to beat ZAX at chess? I read that you can't beat him due to a bug but I wasn't sure if the mod fixed that.

-----------------------
THE GLOW
-----------------------
- Can now earn experience as intended if you beat ZAX at chess. (Requires Intelligence of 10 to have any chance of winning.)
- When playing ZAX at chess, player can now choose length of the game and their color. Base chance to win is 50%, but is affected by game length, color chosen and (in short games) the player's Luck. [RATIONALE: I researched this and it's quite fascinating. Most experts agree that with short games, luck/chance comes into play (no pun intended) even among Masters, and also that White consistently wins slightly more often than Black.]
- Since it is now easier to beat ZAX in shorter games, the experience earned for the player's first win is now curved, ranging from 200XP to 750XP depending on difficulty factors. (Vanilla was always 700XP.)
