Great job. Second with no book and an unstable system is really amazing. Eagerly awaiting Fire 1.3....

Oh. I didn't really check them out in any detail. Well at any rate, it wasn't a very good opening book.kingliveson wrote:alpha123 wrote:I bet it doesn't help that the engine is called Fire.....kranium wrote: it said:

That quote made me laugh. You cant make these thing up, lol. But looking at the pgn file it looks though that Fire did use an opening book.
There was an article that said the Fire operator thought the water tasted funny too. The building was evacuated as a result of possible poisoning.Damir wrote:Junior did not have a chance, had it not been for Fire's hardware unstability. When your engine restarts something like 3-4 times in a row, due to too much overclock. You are doomed to lose the game...
Another issue is the book. I heared that Fire played with no book at all.
Certainly better than SF's...alpha123 wrote:Oh. I didn't really check them out in any detail. Well at any rate, it wasn't a very good opening book.kingliveson wrote:alpha123 wrote:I bet it doesn't help that the engine is called Fire.....kranium wrote: it said:

Ouch, how bad was Stockfish's book? Were they not using the standard .bin book that Salvio Spiterali or whatever his name is made?michiguel wrote:Certainly better than SF's...alpha123 wrote:

Miguel is probably referring to this game and move 11. g4 played by StockFish to be exact. Still up in the air...alpha123 wrote:Ouch, how bad was Stockfish's book?

0-1 [D] 2r5/2r5/1q1p2pk/pP1B1p1p/2P2P1P/4p1P1/R1RbQ3/5K2 b - - 0 58 - in this position, Black is one pawn ahead but it is meaningless. Of all the engines I ve tested it is only Deep Junior who reckons this position as draw 0,00 all the others, Rybka, Naum, Stockfish, Shredder, Fritz think black is 0,4 - 1,0 better. When black would have played Qd4 or Kh7 instead of Ra7, Junior would have continued with Rxd2 !? where after a draw would be the result.kranium wrote:yes i think that's an accurate assessment...playjunior wrote:I am a big Junior fan but have an impression that Fire just badly misplayed the game, abandoning several fortress-like setups, maybe because it was actually better and tried to make progress. It overstepped at some point but this is not what a typical Junior victory looks like.
one of the many ways to lose!

However, move 76 we have this position.

So let's see, Junior was a pawn down, and ended up with this position. Stunning!
I guess some do not see that transition as beautiful. Pity for them! I for one think the game was nothing short of masterful genius. Capiche?
That's a typo. BUT, "Rybak" is a perfect name for the next round of IvanHoe releases.Robert Flesher wrote:Deep Junior is just 1/2 point behind Rybak in the Thüringen 2010 tournament. This is a beautiful game vs Fire 1.3. ...
