But ... that's like moaning that Bannister broke the four minute mile but collapsed at the finish line.

1K is a hellava achievement




It would be more like moaning that he broke the four minute mile but collapsed fifty feet before the finish line. Should it be counted if you didn’t finish?

This program is awesome, but it’s not quite chess.


Nonsense. Bannister ran a mile. I've made lots of programs that were under 1K. They weren't chess, either.


I don't like how negative this comment is, but the logic is flawless. I have also made a lot of "<1K not-chess" games.
