This story, Result!, is a fun following of this one-sided look at a chess match via the computer. It is puzzling sometimes why the opponents make such mistakes. I have found, however, when playing the computer itself, I can win using eccentric moves.

    I did feel sorry for him. I'm sure he never intended to endanger his queen so badly. I was lucky, really. Thanks a lot.

This would have been a worthy entry to the non-fiction flash contest. Just imagine beating the computer like that. You must have been delighted. You certainly described it well. kay

    Actually, it was a real person I was playing. I have never managed to beat the computer. Thank you.

Oh yes, I can understand why Chess is such a thoughtful game, some clever person must have observed the similarities with day to day, except chess is more dangerous, except when life's unexpectedly checkmated, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

I know I absolutely nothing about the game of chess. I have never learned to play it, but apparently you do and I enjoy listening to your strategy that you used, which doesn't make sense to me in the least, but I am glad you shared this story with us. Patricia .

Patricia,
I don't know much about chess, but I like the way you used the game to get the reader involved.
I guess anything is possible on line; I have nephews who play live internet games.
If they have internet checkers, I might try that. lol.
Good luck with this entry.
Cindy
