A few weekend open threads ago, John submitted his quick and easy method for winning any time at chess. All you have to do is:
* play against robots under the social tab
* sit at the left side of the table (you are white)
* make sure you move first
And make the following moves (the numbers and letters are around the edges of the game board for reference):
1: E2 to E4
2: F1 to B5
3: D2 to D4
4: G1 to F3
5: C1 to F4
6: D1 to D2
7: F4 to H6
8: D2 to H6
9: F3 to G5
10: H6 to H7
11: H7 to F7
Check mate!
This method is great for Chess badges where you have to win games like the King’s Chalice Badge (2005 weekly), the Wild Horsemen Badge (2006 weekly), the Royal Spotlight Badge (Mix-n-Match), the Red Horse Of Course Badge (Mix-n-Match), or the Night’s Knight Badge (Mix-n-Match). It also works for badges that require you just to finish games like the Royal Coup Badge (2004 weekly) and the Check Mate Badge (another 2006 weekly).
For “In A Row” badges, be sure to uncheck “Players switch sides after every game” in the options.
Thanks again John — your tip has been used by so many people here to finish badges we never thought we’d complete. We really appreciate your contribution!
