Well I have been playing Chess against a Computer. So far the Computer has lost two pieces to My having not lost a Piece. Now I will get the Computer where it belongs: On The Ropes.

From: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_chess

Wikipedia wrote:Chess grandmaster Andrew Soltis stated in 2016 "The computers are just much too good" and that world champion Magnus Carlsen won't play computer chess because "he just loses all the time and there's nothing more depressing than losing without even being in the game."


So, how has it been going?

Most of us have been fortunate to have been alive during a time when human intellect was supreme on our planet. We may be the last humans to ever know what that was like.

Tell me again Grandpa. Tell me again what it was like when people were smarter than computers.

I believe that I have some Material, read Plywood and some pieces of Doug Furr with which that I will be able to Make a say foot and a Half raised Platform that i will place on the raise Brick hearth to the left of My Desk where I have My Computer. That way I will be able to see the board with all it's pieces when I am playing a Game.

So Today on this good looking Slack-Sunday. Today I will not be doing what I Truly do Love. No I will not being "Specking out" Flying My Predator. Ok I have a Question for all of You; Is there a single Pilot who does noy like when Flying Your Trusty HG Does not want to get High? I mean I simply love to Get High when I Fly My Predatot. Sure packing a O2 Bottle,ads aa little weight to Your Hook-In. It is something that must be secured to Your Body. It needs to be incorporated into a Pilots Pre-Flight. Getting Your O2 Bottle filled can be a hassle.

But all in all. I see getting High as a deal that simply does not have any Negatives. WEll there is on possible Negative to getting High, that would be that as One gets high, it Gets Cold?

Ok Penny for Your Thoughts on getting High. Tell me what You think and You Know.

Ok Good By; Chris McKeon. Get High and GO Far!

:salute:

We have the brains, the computer is just Data.
Check this out, it's a great way to play and learn Chess with other humans. My grandson went on this site and now he has beaten me twice. Pick names and we could all play against each other, It's a great site. Go on "Play with a friend" and invite.
