Re: WCC 2016 thread

Re: WCC 2016 thread
But the beauty is that MC saw the whole thing before reaching this position. Not sure he saw "the whole thing", as in.. the mate-in-12 or so if black plays Bf8 instead of Kh7 😆 Of course he calculated to the last move. IF Bf8 you play Rxf8+ followed by Rxf7+ Ke8 Rf8+ with an easy mate patte...

Re: Volatile bug
It is not that unusual. It is a Heisenbug

They are about the science of computer Chess. Unlimited options - no constraints as in the basement/garage/home tournaments and we play full games so bugs in your endgame code will be revealed. :lol: Good one, thanks. Fact is your pathetic tournament has absolutely nothing to offer except for this ...

Re: What are your favorite chess engine names?
I think the worst names have "deep" in them. This came from a disagreement with the deep blue guys and Amir Ban from the Junior team. IBM had the full-blown deep blue machine, and then for testing, they spun off a single SP node box with the chess chips. They called this machine deep blue junior. A...
