Incoming ship. Make a hole!

Good morning! This is Rants Freely of Overhype News, bringing you the latest on the robot war. Our younger viewers may want to close this window if they are upset by the sight of mechanical mayhem.

Hello? Am I at the right place?

You certainly are. My opponent is down two pawns, a bishop, and a rook! It's a slaughter!

Joshua is the AI in the movie War Games, designed to react in a timely manner to a possible act of aggression by a potential enemy. At the end of the movie he offers to play a game of chess. Joshua Weitzkin is an American chess player and master of Taijiquan (martial arts). I couldn't find the game. I'm guessing Rants Freely is his name. But how do you translate it?
