Reggie is back. "Ajeeb is Waiting."

Reggie was online today. Seems he has decided to switch to the name of yet another Chess automaton. Fun fact: YOU ONLY GET ONE GAME A DAY. RECORD YOUR MOVES.



Code:

Nf3
d7-d5
d2-d4
e7-e5
c2-c4
Nc6
c4-c5
c8-f5
b1-c3
g8-f6
c1-f4
e5xf4


Note that I stopped recording in standard notation after a bit. I DID get the knights down..

I forced a check on him to see what happens. Seems if he cant play the move he wants he resigns then.

1. g1-f3 d7-d5
2. d2-d4 e7-e5
3. c2-c4 e5-e4
4. c4-c5 e4-e3
5. b1-c3 e3xf2+

Thanks to MosServ for putting it into standard.
1. Nf3 d5
2. d4 e5
3. c4 e4
4. c5 e3
5. Nc3 xf2+

Reggie is off at the moment, but when he comes back on...

Let Reggie make as many moves as possible. Do not block his pawns. Do not capture any of his pieces. Move a knight back and forth and just record what he does until the game ends for whatever reason.

We have a match!

Using the online chess database at chesslive.de, jamesi managed to track down a game that meets Ajeeb's first eight moves. Here it is:

[Event "London Vizayanagaram"]
[Site "London"]
[Date "1883.??.??"]
[Round "0"]
[White "Ensor,FS"]
[Black "Fisher,BW"]
[Result "0-1"]
[Eco "D07"]
1.Nf3 Nc6 2.d4 d5 3.c4 e6 4.c5 Nf6 5.Nc3 Be7 6.Bf4 Nh5 7.Bg3 Bf6 8.Nb5 Nxg3 9.hxg3 e5 10.dxe5 Nxe5 11.Qxd5 Nxf3+ 12.gxf3 Bxb2 13.Qxd8+ Kxd8 14.Rd1+ Ke7 15.Bg2 c6 16.Nd6 Ba3 17.Rb1 b5 18.cxb6 Kxd6 19.b7 Rb8 20.bxc8=N+ Rbxc8 21.f4 a5 22.Kd2 h6 23.Rb3 Bc5 24.e3 Rb8 25.Rd3+ Kc7 26.Rc1 Rb2+ 27.Ke1 Kb6 28.a3 a4 29.Rdc3 Rb5 30.g4 f6 31.e4 Re8 32.Kf1 Re6 33.Kg1 Rd6 34.e5 fxe5 35.fxe5 Re6 36.Re1 Rb2 37.Rf3 Bd4 38.Rf7 Rxe5 39.Rd1 Bc5 40.Rdd7 Bxa3 41.Rxg7 Rg5 42.Rh7 Rxg4 43.Rxh6 Rc2 44.Rd3 Bb4 45.Rd1 a3 46.Ra1 Kb5 47.Rf6 Ka4 48.Kf1 Rgc4 49.Bf3 Ka5 50.Be2 Rc5 51.Rd6 Rc1+ 52.Rd1 Rxd1+ 53.Bxd1 Rc3 54.Ke2 Rh3 55.Bc2 Rh2 56.Be4 c5 57.Bd5 Kb5 58.Rc1 Rh4 59.Ba2 c4 60.Rc2 Re4+ 61.Kf3 Rd4 62.Ke2 Bc5 63.f3 Kb4 64.Ke1 Rh4 65.Ke2 Rh2+ 66.Kd1 Rh1+ 67.Ke2 c3 68.Be6 Bd6 69.Bd5 Bf4 70.Ba2 Bc1 71.Bd5 Bb2 72.f4 Kc5 73.Bb3 Kd4 74.Kf3 Rc1 75.Re2 Rf1+ 76.Kg3 Bc1 77.Ra2 Bb2 78.Kg4 Ra1 0-1

Suggest someone try this 78-move monster at the first opportunity. Good luck!

Jamesi's game was correct. The puzzle is solved. The login/password was defect/tcefed.

The URL we have been given is http://www.nru.us/physics/espoo/


So..SOLVED.

Boringly - I was actually IN Finland just three months later than that conference. If we get a trip back through the game maybe I can go meet myself. Ok no. And I'm afraid everyone but Ivar looks like people I'm about to see at my **th high school reunion. Sigh.

Looking at the Poster the first time I thought the first one in the topics list said
Body Shifting..... and I could use having a few areas on mine shifted..... Rolling Eyes

BTW: Way to go Jamesi, MK and all the gang that was searching high and low for the correct match!

If you open Espoo.jppeg and use the negative option I think you see the picture as it orginally should be.

I cant really make the background out but it does look like Mos thought, that it was a surface with stange patterns. Picture is attacked if anyone wants to look.

Geist, with the exception of the info box in the lower left corner, I think your Negative is actually the correct way the poster "should" look, the original jpg, the background is too light to make out many details...

In the source code of the poster almost the first word I see is DUCKY....strange no? (Can't make anything else out mind you....lol, and not that it means anything, I just thought it was a strange word to see in association with chem/physics)

I assume that "Cem" didn't mean "source code", because a picture file doesn't have "code" per se. What was probably meant was that the picture was opened in a text editor and the data was viewed in a raw format...
