Hello!!
Mi name is David Badillo and
I'd like to congratulate you for your interesting Chess
website!. I learned the rules
and the basic play 6 years ago and I have been playing and
learning ever since.
I love Chess
statistics, Chess history and I find pleasure in several of your
sections like Great Games, Chess Notes and Facts, World
Champions, History of Chess, etc.
I am also writing
to point out a bug that I have encountered
while playing against AMYAN, the java program
that you have in the "Lets Play Chess" section Spanish version.
I do not know the
correct opening name but when played against the program with
the following moves, in the fifth move suddenly AMYAN gives up
his Queen!! From then on, it is easier for me to win it.
This only happens
if the program answers with 2... Nf6 to my King's Pawn opening.
The following graphic shows the opening game moves:
David B. (white)
vs. AMYAN
(black) - Spanish
version

1. e4 e5 2.
Nf3 Nf6
3. Bc4 Nxe4
4. Nxe5 d5
5. Qf3 Qd7??
6. NxQ
NxN 7.
Bxd5 etc.
After this, I
feel that black is lost, or at least in this position I'm able
to win very easily. Is this
an error within the program? Or AMYAN really chose the best move
with 5... Qd7!! Try yourself and surely the program will
answer in the same way.
I would like to
know your opinion on this matter.
Thanks and again
congratulations!!

Dear David
Badillo,
We could indeed verify the fifth AMYAN's move and we do not have
an adequate answer to this matter but we will contact Mr.
Antonio Dieguez the creator of this game AMYAN.
We suggest that
you increase the time level at the beginning of the game from 10
to 15 or more, the program might respond with a different and a
more logical move.
