Challenge to Collectors: Steve, Fernando ....

[Steve B]

We may be able to get a somebody to help with that.
We don't have to use Playchess or ICC. We can just do it here.
I don't have a playchess account anymore. Suppose I could
create a guest accout? I think this Sunday would work for me.
If we start early in the AM, we could go for 2 min per move and
have one game each day?

yes you could use a guest account
we could play in the Play Chess Cafe
2 minutes per move is OK if we start 5am
you mention Sunday and then say one game per day
do you mean a game on Saturday and Sunday ?? or one game this Sunday and then another one in Two Sunday's?(please remember next weekend it a no go for me)

I meant one on Saturday and the next on Sunday.
If Thorsten can do it that weekend, I can match him after that
match. Lets see 5 am start and finish at about 9am to 10 am.

Can we start at 6am?

6AM it is
game one ..this Saturday 9/20
game two Sunday 9/21
On Playchess in the Cafe

2 min per move...i assume that is a 2 min avg time per move
or do you mean 2 minutes fixed time per move?
assuming we will be in book for about 9-10 moves ..the first few moves of my dedicated machine out of book will take longer then 2 minutes depending on the time management program for that computer
i of course cannot control this
rarely would we see an older dedicated unit staying in book for more them 18-20 ply
however over the course of the game the average will be 2 minutes or close to it


send me a pm here or email when you are there mentioning your Guest number.. and i will challenge you to a NO CLOCK unrated game
no clock because we do not want the server handing one of us a win on time and ending the game abruptly
you can have White in the first game if you want it
now all i need to know is the computer i will be using
i would like a few days notice so i can set it up and test it ...etc etc
Match Of The Decade Regards
Steve

[Steve B]

yes. no.6 is kind of my SPARC.

so you are going to accept the challenge Thor?
are we going to show these PC Engine programmers that the oldies can still kick some butt
a challenge from a 2500+ Pc Engine operated by the program author himself
that is hard to turn down
OR..
will you run away and hide in fear and terror?

2 min per move was meant as a discussion point - so average is best.
We can set a more specific TC if your machine is capable?
Say, G/120? Or we can set it at 2 min per move average.

I agree with NO Clock on playchess as the human interface causes
delays.

How about using the Mephisto London 68030 33 MHz ?
The TASC R40 2.2 would be ok but for now I have a thing for the Mephisto.

actually i only have the R40 v2.5(King Program ) and the R30 V2.2
I Could swap eproms to give me an R40 v 2.2 and R30 v 2.5 but these Tasc computers are very expensive and with my luck i would ruin both of them

But the London is a very solid choice
i will check the London this evening but i am fairly certain i can choose G/120

will check back in here later and let you know
prepare for your defeat regards

[mclane]

well so much for being fairly certain
the longest G option i have is G/60
so we will go with 2 minutes per move avg

Level 7 Normal Regards

Hi Steve!

Nice to see that you will use the Lang-Deluxe dedicated in the coming match! IMHO the best dedicated in its day and age! Fantastic permanent-memory feature that some of the newer dedicated's still can't match, one of the best function for setting up positions, a nice and informative interface and Lang's best program that even bested the mighty Kaspy in a match, even though it was on a Pentium 90-machine.

Back to the point: -There is a way to play all moves in 120 min! You can set it up in the user-programmable level. Just set it to play 0 moves in 2 hours for both parts. There also is a function to select different time for both players, but that's probably superfluous here. The zero tells the computer to play all moves in the specified time. If I remember correctly without testing it on my own machine, you can specify anything from all moves in 1 min, to all moves in 99 hours or something like that.

Good luck in the upcoming match! In order to maximise your chances you could play out this game on your machine; just to give your fine Lang-machine a nice morale-boost before the match. Go London go!

Hi Thorsten!

Nice to see that you will play with Sparky! Good luck with the Sparc! One of the few top-computers that I still havn't testplayed a single game with. I have the neatly-looking Reneissance-board, but even though it's prepared internally for a Sparc; I have never managed to find a partner for my Brute force-module.

Best regards
