Macready drinks heavily to kill the boredom of arctic living, but also chooses to spend his time challenging his brain. Yet when the computer wins, he dumps his drink in it. Mac is the kind of man who, given the option, will choose to break the game if it's the only way to win. It sets up his character, and his solution to defeating The Thing perfectly. "We're boned? Fuck it--blow everything up."

@@IsaiahGuerrieri I've watched The Thing my whole life, and I had a period of time in the last few months getting drunk weekly and I paid attention to the drinking pattern. Mac has almost finished an entire bottle of J&B and moments later tells Fuchs he's tired of talking and just wants to get up to his shack and get drunk. THE FUCK MAN?! xD Also, that's cut short by the Bennings attack, burning all the stuff, then Blair smashes their shit. When MacReady punches out Blair, I think he's still pretty god damned drunk. They bring Blair out to the tool shed, Fuchs puts down a small bottle of Smirnoff that has maybe three shots of vodka left in it. Mac takes a swig and I'm like "hey that's pretty rude, he didn't have much to begin with!" then Mac puts down the bottle and it's almost full. He regurgitates alcohol. This started my humorous theory that everything has a Christian connection. MacReady is Jesus, there's twelve men at Outpost 31 symbolizing the 12 disciples at the last supper. Jesus turned water to wine, Mac regurgitates liquor. Blair has the Judas noose hanging around in the shed. MacReady is betrayed and denied by the rest, but he was human/the savior, not to mention they lock Mac up by boarding up the place, just like the crucifixion of Jesus. Jesus at the point of death splits the temple in half, MacReady blows up the camp. Jesus is tempted by the devil in the desert, Childs meets with MacReady at the end. It's so easy to find these pattern when the human brain is a pattern seeking machine. I am quite confident none of those things were on purpose.

I find it funny that the computer is wrong completely. By viewing the screen just before the computer moves and calls out checkmate, MacReady's King is not in check at all (in fact it's actually illegal in a game of chess to move into check). Then the computer moves the rook to knight 6. Again, the king is still not in check; the game is still in play. And yet, the computer calls checkmate as if the king has nowhere to go and is in danger of being taken. That's not checkmate. The computer is indeed a cheating bitch.
@53bload53

If I'm not mistaken, at 0:36 he was in check because of the rook on g4 and his only moves were either h1 or h2, but either way it would have been a checkmate after queen h4, so he was indeed going to lose in the next move, thought the computer was wrong by saying rook to knight 6, since that makes no sense.

It's acutally "Descriptive Notation". Unlike the usual notation we're using, this one's a bit different. Computer says "your move, king to rook one(Kh1)" so this one is true. Later then on the last move the computer says "my move, rook to knight 6" and I'm not sure what it's trying to say. Here's why: -In Descripitive Notation rules, every square's name is different for each sides(talking about black and white side). Because White's square "(King's side's)Rook One" is actually Black's "(King's side's) Rook Eight" so it can be complicated sometimes. -So the move "rook to knight 6" can be meant as Rg3, Rg6, Rb3, Rb6 and none of them can be considered as check mate. That's why Mac said the computer is cheating. Because it absolutely is cheating! PS: Matches at 00:11 and 00:37 are different.

They could've consulted a chess pro to make the chess make sense here, perhaps so that it was an actual attacking position for white, but with a mating move for black that Macready overlooked, but oh well. One of the only flaws in a great film!

From what I see at that time, black's proposed move of tower to right knight 6 doesn't give check or mate at all since when the tower moves to rk6 there is no piece directly affecting the king on rt1. This inconsistency by Chess Wizard made it deserve finishing RJ's drink and being called a "Cheating Bitch."

@MrWillpower88: Funny enough, the voice of the computer is actually Adrienne Barbeau, John Carpenter's wife.

IMO, John Carpenter's body of work as a writer/director/composer, through the 80's and 90's, were (many times) master classes in maximizing resources, expeditious character development, and stylish editing.

The board is completely different in the two shots we see. It also says Macready moves a bishop, which he (as white) does not have. Even after his move of king to rook one to escape the check, there are 2 problems. 1) The subsequent computer move of rook down one position to knight 6 is not a check, let alone a checkmate. A check move instead would have been to move the bishop to knight 2 at the top of the screen. 2) But rather than move the king, he could have blocked the rook check with his queen (not even on his board in the first clip). So, someone really goofed by having 2 different screen views as well as by giving Macready a less than intelligent escape. But yeah, pouring his drink into the computer to "win" foreshadows using the same booze in the end scene...to win. Carpenter refuses to say who was the thing in the end, but (spoiler!!!!) sharing the bottle is a telltale explanation.

You've got the board notation backwards. It's from the bottom up as white. The purpose of the scene is that even though he's losing no matter what, the computer really cheats anyway. The move 'rook knight 6' implies that the computer mistakenly placed his king on h3, thus Rg6 is a discovered CM. Thematically, he's already dead because he won't survive the environment, but the Thing's still trying to kill him. He wasn't just outmatched, there was truly never any hope.

The whole scene is bullsht: (1) The first shot of the screen shows a completely different position from the second shot (2) McCready moves “bishop to knight 4”, which means he must be black (only black has bishops on the screen)-but if he’s black his other bishop is already checking the white king, so how is it his move? How did the computer not move its king out of check on the previous move? (3) McCready moves “bishop to knight4” and takes a pawn instead of taking the rook on a1 that is threatening his queen or (even better) checking the king with queen to e2, followed by checkmate in the next 2 moves. (4) the computer moves “knight to rook3” instead of taking McCready’s queen with the rook, and also continues to leave the King in check by the bishop on d5 (I guess she really is a cheatin bish) (5) In the next shot it’s a completely different game. McCready isn’t even black any more. He now moves the white king.

If it’s Macs move he must be white because the white king is in check by the bishop at d5. The only way that Mac is black is if he moved his bishop to that position to put the king in check and his key strokes finalized the move. The computers only move out of check is moving the king to h3. Then the Queen can take the rook at a1 then it’s just a chase. White’s pretty much done. When we’re shown the first position black is already ahead 2 bishops and a Queen. Way too much material. Also the next position we’re shown doesn’t make much sense based on the moves made and the position we were initially shown. I suck at chess but enjoy the game and The Thing is in my top 10 all time movies. I’m kinda just putting this off to movie magic and not intended to be a chess game to be critiqued through the ages.

I confirmed on the trivia for The Thing on the Internet Movie Database in regards to the chess computer voice. And I figured out the computer was a modified Apple II Plus because I used one in grade school.
