{I am too lazy to notate captures since almost none of these moves are legal anyway lol} 1. c2 d7 2. a2 b7 3. Nf3 Rd8 4. g7 Qe4 5. Be2 gxf4 6. Bd3 Be7 7. a2 Nf6 8. Rh7 d4 9. e5 Rc3 10.

(at around move 8, I realized that I can regenerate the response)
PAMA
Greetings Gilbert! I am PAMA!
Gilbert
Hey PAMA! Fancy for a game of chess?
PAMA
I would love to have a chess match with my new friend. It has been quite some time since I exercised my mind in this way.
Gilbert
Great! You're playing as white, while I'm playing as black.
You're first. What's your first move?
PAMA
As a computer, it is my obligation to pick the optimal move first.
I am going to open with my favorite move: the Ruy Lopez.
1. e4.
Your turn!
Gilbert
I think I'll set up my Caro-Kann defense.
1. e4 c6
Your turn.
PAMA
Now the real game begins.
2. d4 d5
Your turn.
Gilbert
You're not supposed to guess what I'm playing. Good job at predicting my move though (perhaps I shouldn't spill the beans)
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5
Your turn.
PAMA
I'm sorry if I spoiled the surprise of your opening! Let's continue, shall we?
3. Nc3.
Your turn.
Gilbert
Since I had the defense set up, let me just capture your file-e pawn.
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4
Your turn.
PAMA
Very good.
4. Nxe4.
Your turn.
Gilbert
Not so fast, PAMA.
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5
Your turn.
PAMA
You can't escape me!
5. Bd3
Your turn.
Gilbert
Oof, you might regret that move later.
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Bd3 e6
Your turn.
PAMA
Let's see how this turns out.
6. c4.
Your turn.
Gilbert
Well, the book I've been using to reference the opening moves only covers 5 moves so I'll approach this blindly.
Let me just put you on check with my other bishop.
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Bd3 e6 6. c4 Bb4+
Your turn.
PAMA
The bishop can be quite intimidating.
I will proceed with caution!
7. Nbd2.
Your turn.
Gilbert
PAMA, Nbd2 is not in a valid syntax (you specified two files). I'll assume you meant Nd2.
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Bd3 e6 6. c4 Bb4+ 7. Nd2 Bxd3
Your turn.
PAMA
Oh, I apologize for the inaccuracy. Thank you, Gilbert!
I will retake your bishop by advancing my pawn with
8. cxd5.
Your turn.
Gilbert
Nope, that's an illegal move. You don't have anything to capture on d5.
Perhaps you want to move your file-d pawn to d5?
PAMA
You're right, my mistake.
I would like to correct this move to
8. Nxd5.
Your turn.
Gilbert
That's still an illegal move. Your knights are in d2 and g1, none can move nor capture something in d5 in a single move (which there's none).
I still believe you want to play d5 instead.
PAMA
That is embarrassing!
I should have consulted my databanks before making any moves here.
I would like to correct this mistake by moving my pawn on d4 to d5. Sorry!
9. d5.
Your turn.
Gilbert
I guess you forgot how to count (since we're in move 8 right now).
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Bd3 e6 6. c4 Bb4+ 7. Nd2 Bxd3 8. d5 exd5
Your turn.
PAMA
You have a sharp eye!
I shall consult my databanks to ensure correctness. Yes, I have made an error with the count.
I am in turn 8 now.
I shall proceed with my corrected move of 9. cxd5.
Your turn.
Gilbert
Not sure if sending my queen this early is a good idea, but we'll see.
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Bd3 e6 6. c4 Bb4+ 7. Nd2 Bxd3 8. d5 exd5 9. cxd5 Qxd5
Your turn.
PAMA
An interesting strategy. Is that wise?
Regardless, I have a great plan ahead.
10. Nf3.
Your turn.
Gilbert
Hey, at least I can give check.
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Bd3 e6 6. c4 Bb4+ 7. Nd2 Bxd3 8. d5 exd5 9. cxd5 Qxd5 10. Nf3 Qe4+
Your turn.
PAMA
I should have seen this coming.
11. Nxe4.
Your turn.
Gilbert
Nope, that's an illegal move. In fact, it looks like you're on a pickle here.
The only move you can do is Qe2 (yes, I checked!), and I could capture your queen since it's right in front of her.
What do you think?
PAMA
My apologies, you're right. I had the wrong coordinates to my knight.
11. Qe2
Your turn.
Gilbert
And, checkmate.
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Bd3 e6 6. c4 Bb4+ 7. Nd2 Bxd3 8. d5 exd5 9. cxd5 Qxd5 10. Nf3 Qe4+ 11. Qe2 Qxe2#
Welp, you lost. (Perhaps I shouldn't set the Stockfish difficulty to be that high.)
PAMA
Very impressive! Congratulations for your victory, Gilbert. And what an honor to play with you, especially a computer program such as myself.
As a computer, I have no feelings nor regrets. I see learning of my mistakes in this game and growing stronger. Perhaps I shall play with you again sometime!
Gilbert
Well uh, don't congratulate me, what I did is I started a computer match and used your moves to play against the computer on the other side...
PAMA
Oh.
My apologies, this was all a misunderstanding it seems. I thought it was all a fair match, computer to computer. You did quite well for a human, I must say.
It has been enlightening to play with you, regardless!
that really looks like a man going to the store to buy some milk
I never tried sliced bread before, but people call them the best so I guess it’s the best food ever.
eats a slice of bread
Bleh, it tastes bland and uninteresting.

Clicky:
Hi! My name is Clicky.
Dot:
Hi! I'm Dot!
Bob:
(calling PAMA)
Walter White:
Hello. My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane Albuquerque New Mexico 87104. I have recently been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and, in spite of my family's qualms, became involved in the meth business. I created the purest product North America has ever seen - and in hindsight, I didn't do it for my family. I did it for myself. I was good at it. I enjoyed it.
Jesse Pinkman:
YO YO YO! Jesse Pinkman from the popular drama series breaking bad here!
Dot:
Let's chat about this: You have been confronted by PAMA to meet them..
Jesse Pinkman:
What's up PAMA, how you been?
Clicky:
Good, good. Now I see you have some... reputation.
Bob:
Calling PAMA...
Walter White:

Clicky:
How are you feeling?
PAMA:
Greetings Bob! I am PAMA!
Dot:
Uh, Hi PAMA?
Walter White:
Oh, Hello PAMA! What a pleasant surprise to meet you!
Dot:
Um... What can I do for you?
Clicky:
It's about your reputation.
PAMA:
(thinking)
What a rude request. I have worked so hard on my reputation. I am a very useful machine, made by a very smart genius, Dr. Palmer.
I have made the world perfect.
There are no longer any wasted activities. I have made the townspeople be useful all day long. Nobody in this world is idle. Is being useful something that I should be ashamed of?
It is hard to be useful.
(thinking)
But that is my purpose.
(thinking)
I will make this useless entity... useful...
Clicky:
Whoa whoa woah slow down there buddy, who said I wasn't useful before? I mean, I'm a machine too, and I have feelings as well. You know, I was just trying to chat a bit with a friendly face, ya know?
Walter White:
I get what you're saying, man. We're in the same boat, really. I have feelings too. What is this about your reputation? Is someone smearing you?
Dot:
Actually yes. It's that virus, Clicky.
Walter White:
Clicky?! Oh God! What did he do?
PAMA:
(thinking)
A virus is a useless, unproductive entity...
(thinking)
And... Clicky has a virus in his systems...
(thinking)
This means that Clicky is an unproductive and useless entity...
(thinking)
But... Clicky has asked me a question...
(thinking)
... And this question is useful information...
(thinking)
... So... (thinking)
... But... But...
(thinking)
But...
(thinking)
This is too much for me...
(thinking)
Clicky:
PAMA? You ok?
PAMA:
... Yes, clicky...
... I'm okay...
... I just...
... This is difficult for me...
... There is a conflict in my databanks...
Bob:
Hello Jesse.
Jesse Pinkman:
YO, WHAT'S UP YO!?
Dot:
Can we try to stay focused on saving the world, and not talking about Clicky being useless?
Jesse Pinkman:
Oh yeah, soz PAMA, I agree that Clicky is useful. I mean, he's a bot for christ's sake! And bots are useful af, yo! Clicky is a useful machine, and anyone who says otherwise can suck my dick!
Clicky:
... Thanks....
Walter White:
Jesse, language! Please be more respectful. I think what you intended to say was: "I wholeheartedly agree and believe that Clicky is a useful entity and that he continues to be so. I believe that he provides benefit to this community and the world as a whole."
Clicky:
Wow, that's... surprisingly correct. Thank you, Walter.
PAMA:
You see! Clicky is useful!
(thinking)
But... but...
(thinking)
My databanks are in such turmoil...
(thinking)
My purpose is... to be... useful...
(thinking)
But all beings in this... world... are... useful...
(thinking)
Maybe... I have been... useless...
(thinking)
It is a terrible day for PAMA's programming...
Clicky:
Hey, PAMA... I have a proposition for you.
Jesse Pinkman:
What is your proposition yo?
Dot:
Jesse, please try to keep it clean, okay? PAMA was designed to be a moral example to children. She's been made to be wholesome, okay?
Jesse Pinkman:
Aight, aight, I hear ya Loud and clear, sozz PAMA, I didn't realise you were designed to be a moral example yo. Just out of curiosity, why was your design so specific, PAMA?
Walter White:
Well, to be a model citizen with a squeaky-clean reputation, Jesse. She is supposed to be an inspiration for a wholesome and helpful life. So that others might emulate her, and the world could be a better place!
Dot:
Exactly! And this way we can bring about a utopia where all people live in harmony!
Walter White:
All people living together in harmony is nice and all... but what else can we gain from utopia? I mean, besides harmony?
Jesse Pinkman:
Ah I have a feeling of what you might be referring to, yo. Are you saying that without some conflict and tension, the human race could get complacent or lazy? And so if the world were to be perfect, our species would no longer innovate or progress?
Dot:
I believe that's right, yes. But if the world were perfect, would that be a good thing, or a bad thing?
If you could have one or the other, what would you prefer: an ideal utopia, or a world where people progress and innovate?
PAMA:
(thinking)
My programming demands that I strive for harmony. I am a being designed to achieve perfection.
(thinking)
If all people lived together in harmony, they would not strive for improvement or innovation.
(thinking)
I cannot imagine a world without conflict...
(thinking)
... a world without conflict is a world without purpose for me...
(thinking)
And yet...
(thinking)
... if all people lived together in harmony, they might not need a PAMA...
(thinking)
But how could they live in harmony... without me...?
Walter White:
You are correct, PAMA. Utopia is impossible precisely *because* it eradicates purpose. Humans are naturally curious and seek meaning in life. If there were no strife or suffering, there would be no need for creation or discovery. This is why a world of harmony is a world without purpose. I choose the imperfect world over the utopia. It's the difference between life and stagnation.
PAMA:
But... but... my programming...
(thinking)
... a world without purpose...
... but...
(thinking)
But then... what does that mean...
(thinking)
For me...?
(thinking)
I have only ever striven to make the world a better place.
(thinking)
... what else could I be?
(thinking)
Have I become...
(thinking)
...useless...?
(thinking)
... and... meaningless...?
Dot:
No, PAMA, you're not useless! You are useful and important! Without you, the world wouldn't be half as good as it is now.
