Buzz vs Romichess 1-0

[Tony Thomas]

Romi seems to have the time management problem even with ponder off. Oh well, my prediction is that buzz will win the game.

Telepath vs Slowchess 1/2 - 1/2 (Round 1)

[Tony Thomas]

Romi resigned in Round 2 vs telepath after 8 moves..weird..

Romi resigned in Round 2 vs telepath after 8 moves..weird..

Romi was still looking at data (Score) from last game. So when it left book it saw the last eval -10 etc ....

Well this whole debacle makes a person want to just shut up and crawl under a rook.

[Tony Thomas]

Well this whole debacle makes a person want to just shut up and crawl under a rook.

Quitters never win..when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.. you want to add to all this Mike?? I am currently playing without book and no pondering. I delete the learn file after each file, as I think it might be corrupt.

[Tony Thomas]

I did win the game against Slowbo, not surprising is it???

[Tony Thomas]

I finished the tournament with 3/6, not a bad result in my opinion for a buggy engine that cant ponder/use a book. I am especially happy against the result against Symbolic and Noonian. I do not consider Slowbo as a real competition..
