GilaChess vs Acoona
With the interest generated from the ‘Kasim’ vs Acoona toolbar match I decided to visit the Acoona website to find out what exactly was this ‘toolbar’.
First thing I noticed was it’s a add-on to your browser. Meaning you have to download an EXE file and install it first. One thing is that I am a FireFox user and this toolbar is supposed to be used only with Microsoft Internet Explorer. No worries, even though I don’t use IE anymore, it’s still in my system.
After installing it, here’s how the toolbar looks like. I clicked on the link to play against the ‘AI’ chess computer.
Since some people said the engine was weak, I chose the highest settings ‘Hard’ to get some challenge. As a patzer I was expecting to get beaten but to my surprise I won without much difficulty.
He he.. So I guess the chess engine was really weak if even I can beat it. 
Of course this is not the same engine as what ‘Kasim’ is playing against. That’s a Fritz 9 prototype and I have never been able to beat Fritz 6,7 or 8 for that matter.
Anyway, it’s a pity there’s no scores for the game as I sac one piece to open up the King’s position to give checkmate.
