As a Training match for the game against you i pit the Conny 3.6 against that 2700 PC Enginelkaufman wrote:Yes, I am agreeable in principle to this. But I am only about a 2400 (FIDE) GM, not a 2700 as you were talking about. I recall that when SuperConstellation came out I was able to do well giving it knight odds, though I don't recall the exact level I tested. Since your machine is somewhat weaker, maybe I have some chance at rook odds though I'm probably an underdog. There would be no need to send me the machine, you clearly have no motive to cheat in this experiment. Anyway if you still want to go ahead with this, message me about the details.Steve B wrote:how about this for an idea??lkaufman wrote: If you ever have any desire to sponsor any other computer-human match of any type, just message me.
we have played several matches here pitting dedicated computers vs the forum
these games can be found in the "Tournament Forum"
1 game match
my Conny 3.6 v a real GM
QR odds..GM has white
TC 3 minutes per move
moves to be posted here
GM..YOU
we would have to be on the honor system of course
i certainly trust you to not use any engine help and to time yourself
i could send you the computer after the game ends and you could check each move that was played
with pondering OFF i doubt very highly that the computer would make different moves (even though there might be some built in random factor the computer uses)
i would pay round trip postage for shipping the computer back and forth
appearance fee for you..win lose or draw .. to be discussed by email
game to begin once you receive the appearance fee
moves to be posted here (i will set up a thread for it)at least once per day but i would not claim a win by time forfeit so not strictly enforced
more of a guideline really
if you are game ..please let me know
Best Regards
Steve
same game conditions as stated above except that pondering was ON for Conny because i cant turn it off and didn't want to turn the computer off each move
come to think of it..as you only have to post one move per day i guess you have to not think about the position in between moves
pondering off.. on your part so to speak
the Engine had white and played without its QR
TC -3Min Avg.
while i cant show the entire game as it would give away too much i can show the final position which resulted in a win for Conny
[d] 3N4/8/2p5/3k4/6pp/2r5/7P/6K1 b - - 0 48
when your game has concluded i will post the entire PGN
just a bit more proof that a R can overcome a 1000+ Elo disadvantage
The Pressure is On Regards
Steve
