ICB Where did you learn to play chess mate?

Its a very well known schoolboy opening you are playing Bruce, 7.gxf6 is simply the wrong move. Qxf6 is the book move and the computer at its highest level would play the book move.

You say a computer can be defeated and its not that impregnable but chessmaster at its highest level is practically impregnable. It would be perfect tactically, and never make any combinational errors, it would have a grandmaster level opening reportiore with an opening book covering hundreds of thousands of moves and positions and you'd have to be an exceptionally good player to defeat it.

The Kasparov you were playing already went wrong as early as 7.gxf6 not quite a patzer move but positionally a big mistake. Queen takes is the book move followed by 8.Nd5 then back to Qd8.

I'll have a look at the rest of the game in a bit, but already I can see you were playing against a very low strength program.

Not wishing to detract from your win of course but to claim to defeat a virtual model of the worlds greatest player is a pretty big claim to make

I don't think it's so obvious that 7...gxf6 is a big positional mistake. I kind of like it. Black can easily undouble the pawns by playing ...f5. 7...gxf6 does make the position more dynamic, with better chances for active play. Black should probably try to castle Queenside after this, and might very well get good play on the Kingside.

Bilbo: 7.... gxf6 is not a positional mistake. please try to analyze it again.I'll give you a hint. Using the queen is a bad move early in this game.

I am very aware of the line Bruce, its one of the most common schoolboy openings. Black played a terrible game, way below Grandmaster level, way below master level, way below even Grade C level.

It played like a weak casual player with no strategic understanding.
