OT: A blog I comment on simply uses a checkbox, which seems to work fine. OTOH, it's much smaller so you can moderate it better.
I have a better idea. No, I have THREE better ideas.
{1} REMOVE CAPTCHA FROM YOUR SECURITY MEASURES.
{2} Put the at the registration choke-point.
{3} Make them all Blade Runner tests.
Any of these would be less annoying.

That's amazing. I'm just refreshing the page for fun at this point.
Also, the resistor one makes me feel like I'm in school. I've had enough resistors for today, thanks!

*tries it a few times* it's pretty neat, and fun, and incalculably less annoying than ad captchas, but it would stop some humans too. it would violate the spirit of the captcha's. it's no good here.
Easy to automatically 'solve'? Not too sure about that. The 'mission' is wordy text, the chess pieces have to be recognized visually and the mission has to be translated into a valid chess move.
I haven't tried messing it up, though. I doubt a bot could properly identify the task at hand, and I doubt it could just brute force through it
captcha: two left feet. Nice. Well, that never kept me from playing chess, you evil, nasty, vile captcha, you!

Pretty easy to solve yeah, I could write a program to do that in a day if I was so motivated and I'm a pretty middling programmer. It's one of the "security from obscurity" captchas, as long as it's for one small chess site it's not worth the effort of breaking, similar to the "Are you a spammer" checkboxes used on some blogs.Headdrivehardscrew said:
On the flipside this would be brilliant as a Completely Automated Program to Tell Intelligent Human Beings from Average Youtube Users.
Escapist is the ONLY website where the capchas are often relevant and fun. this is probably the only site where after the update i stopped hatting them. though those advertisement ones or pick a word ones are stupid beyond belif.
P.S. capcha: main chance.
It knows, it knows, run for your lives, skynet is going into defence mode.

xD My brain wasn't working today. I was stuck on the puzzle, scratching my head at it... then it hit me, I was trying to take my own king out. I facepalmed so hard.
Same here which I am getting tried of. No offence while I don't mind a few ads from a few companies but to only focus on Betfair? I don't even gamble nor do I intend to thanks to Betfair!kailus13 said:
So are we going to get the chess puzzle anytime soon should many other websites used it too?
I really don't see what the big deal is, I just play the game of when a capatcha shows up when I want to post a comment. I move on, because it probably wasn't a good idea to post a comment anyway.
