On average there are 30 moves open to each player at every stage of a chess match and a chess match lasts roughly 50 moves. This means there are approximately 30 ^ 100 possible outcomes to a game of chess. This number is comparable to the number of atomic particles in the universe. It amazes me that computer programs can be made that are unbeatable given the the vast number of possible outcomes. Mind you it amazes me that any human can have a rating higher than 1600 in classical chess. You 2000 + players are all very talented, stop having a go at each other.
I have no interest in reviving this long dead thread, but will post for fun screen recordings of some of my draws and near wins against Stockfish 5 on half minute games (30 seconds for whole game). I had a clear win and enough time in one of them, but blundered down to draw. And won one on clock. To make it more funny I played on 3D board, which is thought to be uncomfortable.
win on clock: youtu.be/o2Z7HSYJ_7s
draw in queen's pawn game: youtu.be/NEGE_4lGZoQ
Missed win in Ruy Lopez: http://youtu.be/OfLq9OmZ1Xk
there were others too..
of course I'm helped by the facts that it will often play similar or near same lines, and my machine is only near 3Ghz (that's why I also recorded with only half resolution) + premoving most of the time, still I bet quite a few people wouldn't know that's possible
