The Champions 2012 4CPU

[lech]

Analysis of Sting is desperate, I guess abandonment.

Score means nothing. Only gain!

Marek,

I do not argue that you are right, and it is difficult to win.

But if you decide to leave or transmitted Sting that assessment, to do?
The GUI gives the game ended.

I give the example of Bouquet, with Sting after losing in the first round,
bare twelve draws, that's because I have something in the code that does not fight the small advantages, supports the tie soon.

The GUI gives the game ended.

Jose, if the GUI is wrong, the result should be corrected.


We are not machines.
It a serious tournament, one of the best!

Marek, the GUI is not at fault, has some conditions, a game has a final,
a award, ect.

Your engine gives up, meant that Rybka has decisive advantage.

No more, you can not blame the GUI,
And if time is lost?
Suppose this position,
¿How about?

Sting fights to the end.

No more, you can not blame the GUI,

Never, i hope we can still control machines.

And if time is lost?

did not happen

Suppose this position,
¿How about?
k5r1/Pn3K2/1PR2B2/8/8/8/8/8 b - - 0 1

Black had real means to get draw (fortress, bad color of Bishop, sacrifice Knight for 2 pawns, exchange of rooks, stalemate) and I guess is able to avoid this position (and other) easly.

[¿How about?
[d]k5r1/Pn3K2/1PR2B2/8/8/8/8/8 b - - 0 1

Probably, Jose you are right and White should win.
Greetings
Marek

I remove my complaint, sorry.

Houdini is sinking even more......

I am surprised regards,
Dr.D

Still plenty of rounds left, but I'm surprised too. I suspect that most who're following the tournament are surprised as well.

Houdini needs activity like a fish (not Rybka ) water. In the second cycle, if the same (reversed) start positions, Houdini should go up.
A wonderful example of Houdini's play is the game of the round 10:
Houdini-Stockfish.
[d]4r1k1/2p2r2/1p1p1bp1/3Ppq1p/p1P1R3/P3BP1P/1P4PK/2Q1R3 w - - 0 56
White tries to realize a curious plan (h4, Rh1, Kg1, Rh3) to get a chance to win.
After this
[d]r7/2pq1rbk/1p1p2p1/3Pp1Bp/p1P1R2P/P4P1R/1P1Q2P1/6K1 b - - 0 63
Black by 56...c5 (counter play) was close to win the game.
(the result draw).
BTW, Rybka and Critter won wonderful games in the next round.

[IGarcia]

After 14 rounds. Crosstable.
with 2points system and below, 3point per win system
