The true art of winning chess is to swap only once, and that at the right moment. Not too early, not too late. People that swap twice or more are just noobs.

Other note to self: Gamble with ZFR every possible opportunity.

haha :P

I used to play chess a lot, when i was a teenager i was at intermediate level... but didn't really have many people to play with.

Still it's odd... i remember more than once walking in where a game was pretty much decided and asked if i could take over and i choose what appears to be the best move and end up check-mating the other player. :P

GOOD IDEA! :D

I bet you won't.

Care to wager, my gold loving friend?

A better idea would be to take ZFR to Vegas with a camera crew to capture the festivities.I'd love to see the reaction of the pit bosses when ZFR trys to swap hands with the Blackjack dealers, tries changing the bets at the Roulette taple or throws the dice at a Craps game then runs away laughing maniaclly before they land. The entertainment value could be huge!

Fixed that for you. (In fact, this strategy works for any game played in person against one or more people.)

My strategy when losing is to just stop playing... if I never make my move the other can't make their move either!

...or just send that shit flying across the room.

He is already betting, but you miss the opportunity to decide what should be at stake.

Sounds like the choice the AI made for tetris for an NES game :P

You may be right...

Yeah, I read that. Pretty eerie when you think about it. It decided the best move was to not play at all.

Well, very likely from what i can tell, it plays out dozens of scenarios within 200 frames and goes with the best result, so some of the 'tricks' are the result of just failing lots of times and choosing the one way it kept playing.

I thought the best solution was to flip the table.
...hey, what if you had a sport that combined chess and bowling?
