http://online.russiachess.org/ Very good, but how does this relate to computer chess? :wink: You are right I should have placed this in the Chess Thinker Area :oops: PS: And I suppose that Anand (the champion) and other top rated players on this tournament are either sleeping or freezing, but not o...

We also have Houdini 3, my still can not solve it

1. = (-0.17): 1.Kc6 g1Q 2.Nxh4 Qa1 3.Nhf3 Qa5 This is the solution of the problem. It is in PV. If u set fifty move distance to 10 it clearly gives 0.00 after move 4. Hence it is solved. Very well, but Houdini should offer the Monte Carlo Analysis feature like in Rybka4 and under the ChessBase-Frit...

What do you meant by that is Houdini still calculating :?: :lol: :lol: The solution is not far!!

A new type of analysis called Monte Carlo is now making computers able to understand when a position is drawn because no more progress can be made. How? The chess engine will start multiple ultra fast games against itself and analyse the results of those games. If they are all draw (50 moves withou...

[D]8/8/7p/3KNN1k/2p4p/8/3P2p1/8 w - - 1 1 Maybe you can experiment with very deep searches or even use the Monte Carlo tree search first used by Shogi programmers and later used in the Fritz/Rybka interface to evaluate the position. A new type of analysis called Monte Carlo is now making computers ...

Huas¡¡ Houdini, 5 points... :o It is an Israel-New Zeland conspiracy, just before the end of the world. :lol: :lol: If i wake up in the morning and no one is here no need to worry i am already dead. :lol: I just woke up and everything is dark! What is happening? Was Nostradamus correct? http://www....

I also believe that the reason why Fischer refused to play against Karpov back the 70's has a lot to do with Fischer being afraid of facing Mr. Karpov in his prime. That explained why he came back in 1992 to play versus Spasky instead. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=8606 I agree. He...

Older players do relatively better at rapid chess I have heard. I think this is due to the fatigue factor, long time controls games are physically demanding and exhausting. It could be that their experience is more of a benefit at fast levels even though I would have thought it would be other way a...
