Re: Luke skywalker has done it again.
Nope. 3000 cores IBM cluster working on it for 4 months where all positions with +5.12 are discarded. With an assumption that those are practically won with more than 5-sigma (margin for a discovery I think). Quite an achievement IMO!
P.S: I was actually looking for April Fools announcement when I found that. This is definately real.

Someone should poll this!! To me I don't think it is real. If not, he picked a bad time to reveal it.

Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.

Solved is the wrong word. Maybe the best move the computer could come up with is more like it.Daniel Shawul wrote:http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=8047

I don't understand that part of the article... Look at this:Daniel Shawul wrote:Nope. 3000 cores IBM cluster working on it for 4 months where all positions with +5.12 are discarded.

If the probability of a 5.12 score being a win is 99.99999999%, shouldn't the full calculation (which surely involves a huge amount of >=5.12 scores) have a much smaller probabilty of being correct? And yet he claims the same probability?but if Rybka is displaying +5.12 or more the outcome is 99.99999999% secure. That is approximately the confidence number we give to our King's Gambit results: 99.99999999%.
