Anyone know of a way to save move by move a game you play with little chess partner without having to hand-write all the moves?  I've only beaten it twice and would like to know what I did each time, but was so caught up in the fact that I won...that HOW I won just boils down to..."I put my pieces where he ain't" and forced his king into checkmate somehow.  This last game I know I got my rook into the corner and then the queen followed next and he couldn't eliminate either without exposing his king and no other pieces could get to mine (blocked by each other).  Any ideas on how to get the play by play?

I don't know.  You could ask Erik - he's the "Jedi Master" of the site :)

"Think you're good? Try beating "Little ChessPartner" - he doesn't mess around!"

     The disclaimer wasn't exaggeration, Reason.  LOL.  Of course, when it is on easy, it doesn't seem to "think" as hard about the moves it makes...when I played it on hard, it lagged more and the depth and other tag numbers on the top of the screen changed more.

Also interesting to note is that I heard LCP only has a set amount of moves saved - so if you do a textbook Dragon, it could counter perfectly.  I recall beating it soundly only when slightly more unconventional methods were used at various points in the game.

Ok...standard openings won't work as it has them all programmed in.  If you can combine a lot of discovered moves where even you aren't sure you could move one piece 3 different ways (and other pieces the same( then the computer isn't sure which way you are going to go.  The only time I really win a game is when I "go with my gut" and don't think too hard on what the computer is doing on the board as long as it doesn't interfere with my set up.

Which means I'm no closer to winning more than one game in 50 LOL
