Chris Whittington's Chess System Tal!

[Michael Sherwin]

Come on Thorsten! Where are the games?!

I'm interested in Romi vs CSTal 3(games particularly)... as do many others.

Running matches manually is above and beyond what anyone is expected to do! It is very time consumming and one must find the time to do it.

I would like to see more games as well, but in Thorstens good time. And then only if he is still interested in doing so.

Yes i know that it takes some time, but Thorsten spends more time manually testing chess computers instead... As a friend of Thorsten, I think I can urge him to instead spend time on this but it's still upto Thorsten to post the results...
Also I have offered a standard time control suggestion rather than long time controls, ideal when testing manually... the games are interesting indeed, Thanks Thorsten!

that's ok, Thorsten. Why not run the games in 40 moves in 20 minutes and repeating?

Also, I've just ordered Core2Quad, Is there any suggestion you could offer? with respect to overclocking or engine matches etc

[mclane]

no... my friend paid 550 euro for core2quad 6600,
2 gb ram, 360 HDD, dvd-burner, ati graphics and vista, mouse+keyboard.

was a compaq pc sold by hp.

Does he have Vista64 or does it say just Vista? Vista is 32bit.

[mclane]

32bit. he will later downgrade OS to xp 64bit ~80 euro
