Re: CCRL 40/40 - A most curious game
I simply let the computer play all those games without even checking on them, until I posted games from 76 to 100. I am gald that somebody took the time to check those games, since I was going to let the computer play another worthless 100 games.Guenther wrote:Do you mean the used book has _zero_ book moves against 1.

Well he could have noticed this already in the second game then

PS: It would be the same if I have chosen to play 1.h3 as my first move, which I used to beat Crafty online 8 years ago.
I still believe that if somebody build a small opening book of just the first 8 half moves for Rybka 3 it will beat the majority of the programs, since all that Rybka needs is to start in the right direction with a lot of different starting positions to beat the nearest strongest program.

No,the opening book has a responce against 1. Nc3 but ti's poorly developed,8 halfmoves at best....Guenther wrote:Do you mean the used book has _zero_ book moves against 1.

I am surprised that neither you nor Jorge obviously read posts
before you answer, otherwise you had long noticed that program B
was already out of book after 1. Nc3!!!
Thanks god, at least Tano-Urayoan immediately got all right,
but it seems we both wasted just some time preaching to stones ;-)

I read everything carefuly and that's why I told you that the answer against 1.

As for the configuration,yes,he posted the parameters and they are about right...as for the games where the two sides didn't use the opening book,you can terminate Jeorge for this

The problem is that the games that started with Nc3 neither of the engines used a book. (games 1-3-5)Dr.Wael Deeb wrote:

In the games that engine A used a book it was just 2 or moves (2-4-6)
example game 2 d4 g6 Nf3 Nf6 and again white started analysing on his own but the simple c4 transpose to any indian defense (kings indian,gruenfeld, benoni or even a benko) white choose to play Nc3.
game 4 Nf3 Nc6 d4 d5 here engine started 'thinking' before playing c4 where this is just a transposition to the Chigorin defense.
game 6 repeated the moves from game 4.
So either he is using a wrong configuration transpositions unmarked, or he is using a 2 move book. Because even a 8 move book will know that c4 is a transposition to the Chigorin defense or a queens gambit vs and indian set up.

Re: CCRL 40/40 - A most curious game
I think, for this experiment no book at all for one side is not optimal, as we can see from always 1.Nc3 for White. I would use a solid, large book for the other engine, and a short - maybe 3 full moves deep - book, with wide variety, for the "no book" engine. By that, we wouldn't see "engine novelties" earlier than at move no. 4, but 1.Nc3 problems and similar could be avoided.
I guess we don't expect sensations within moves no. 1...3 anyway. 500+ years of master chess practice and analysis should guarantee that, at least...
