Hey Graham, of course it is a computer chess forum but on Rybka forum they mention this super tournament at least once.

But that the forum is "good" or "bad" doesn't depend on mentioning Linares or not.Philippe wrote:Hey Graham, of course it is a computer chess forum but on Rybka forum they mention this super tournament at least once.

I agree with this notion of "good" or "bad" but I am disapointed that nobody did not drop a single line for a fantastic tournament which started a [b]week ago[/b].

I guess that it's a tournament for humans and we're more interested about tournaments between computers.Philippe wrote:I agree with this notion of "good" or "bad" but I am disapointed that nobody did not drop a single line for a fantastic tournament which started a week ago.

I wouldn't say that I have ever been interested in any computer tournament more than in a good human tournament.Ovyron wrote:I guess that it's a tournament for humans and we're more interested about tournaments between computers.Philippe wrote:I agree with this notion of "good" or "bad" but I am disapointed that nobody did not drop a single line for a fantastic tournament which started a week ago.
However, this is a computer chess forum.
Thus being said, this Linares is quite remarkable, with around half of the games being decisive. Anand loses to Aronian with white, then Topalov to Carlsen (Alekhine defence, figure that out!).

Re: Linares 2008
Linares is just for humans. However it would be interesting to see how a top program like Rybka 2.3.2a, Zappa Mexico II and Deep Shredder XP running on fast hardware would perform in Linares.
