I don't get it. Why do people play games that they hate?
Duke's not saying he hates chess, just that the game program he's using is driving him nuts.
I've been having the same experience with a freeware program called 'Arena Chess,' except that I can't find any control to let me adjust it to an easier level and it destroys me every time. In three moves, I'm suddenly on the defensive and don't even get a chance to deploy my pieces before it kicks my ass. Doh!
I know I'm a less than mediocre player, though I do enjoy the challenge of the game - but damn, give me a fighting chance, for gods' sakes! Let me at least
believe that I might win one once in a while, it takes all the fun out of trying when you're facing a
Kobayashi Maru and you know you can't win no matter what you do. No wonder Kirk cheated.
