Sorry. Civ III is no longer interesting because of that wonderful thing called....KoToR....sorry. Won't be coming here much anymore.

 

[Achinz]

Strange how chess is affected by Civ3

Anyone else game enough to re-start?

what's funny is that he wrote 'to anyone who doesn't use a computer'. if you use a program for online correspondence which doesn't matter you probably have problems. waaaay over competitive. besides, what's the point? to get a reputation as the best player on an online forum? pssh. and if they ever posted on another thread, you'd see they aren't really a 2400 player. and it's possible to check if they used a computer, though you'd have to trial and error various engines. check chess life a few months back. I don't remember the month, but good article.

and it's possible to check if they used a computer, though you'd have to trial and error various engines.

Depends on what they used it for. If it was "blunder-check" mode, it won't be possible to detect (unless you count the absence of crass errors of proof of computer usage...)

 

[Soviet]

that's true
