I toast to LeelaqueenOdds and its creators. I raise my wine glass high and shout: Long live the queen. We have a queen!!

You will be very happy to hear that a new Leaderboard is online now, with updates every few minutes! This one starts with games on Feb. 27, the day the bot was updated with the new "Search Contempt" idea, which boosted it by about 200 elo. The ratings assumed for Leela are increased by 100 when Leela is Black and by 200 when Leela is White based on a survey of games since the upgrade. So for example at 3'2" Leela as White is 2650 and as Black is 2450 now. Leela can now play 27 games at once, and the strength keeps going up, these rating estimates (for Lichess blitz) are actually still conservative, any rating you earn here is well deserved by Lichess blitz standards. https://lqo.leumon.com/

Good morning Mr. Larry Kaufman.

I hope you are well and continue well.
Today I turned on the computer and entered ODDS and compiled three dishes.
I am sharing the menu with you. Have a nice day.

Blessings.

Sincerely,

Catecan

Yes I'm fine, still upgrading the bots mostly with automated tuning of parameters; today LeelaRookOdds was updated. I think we'll have another challenge with prize money shortly, probably rook odds Rapid or slow blitz. In pure (1'0") bullet very few players can make a respectable score even with Queen odds, although one IM (Vincent Rothuis) has been scoring close to 40% recently (mostly with wins). With just rook odds it seems no one can score decently at normal (3'2") blitz, but at longer time controls the best players may have a good match.

I take my hat off to the robot LeelaRooksOdds with the utmost admiration, it is simply an amazing machine.!!

Good afternoon, Mr. Larry Kaufman. I hope you are well and continue to be so. Today, I would like to ask the scientific community whether it is mathematically feasible to build a computer—modeled after the "anti-computer" style I have employed over the years—designed to force a draw, win on time, break the opponent's algorithm, and block the board at all costs. Something akin to a "super-father anti-machine machine." If a decision is ever made to build it, I stand ready to contribute my own small part to the effort.

Yes, it would be quite possible to make a net for Leela that simulates your style of play aiming to force a draw by blocking the position. But I don't know who would have a use for it, except perhaps as an opponent for bots wanting to learn how to defeat that strategy. I imagine it already doesn't work at all against ordinary Leela in standard chess, I don't know if you have tried this. In odds chess, it works sometimes because Leela doesn't mind a draw when way behind in material, you are both cooperating to achieve the same goal! You might say that the Leela odds bots already adopt your style of play when the opening is suitable for that strategy and when the evaluation makes them want a draw, they already know that blocking the position is a good way to achieve a draw despite a material deficit.

Good afternoon, Mr. Larry Kaufman. I’m going to try to give you a description of the personality of the anti-machine machine that I’m imagining in my own words as the layman that I am. Algorithmic profile: This is a computer that has a clear understanding of the mathematical preferences of the opposing machine it faces and will have these characteristics, among others: 1- It will give up space in exchange for blocking. 2- It will avoid opening or semi-opening files. 3- It will refrain from penetrating the enemy field even if it finds a winning variation. 4- It will seek to keep the bad light-squared bishop when playing both white and black. 5- It will build a fortress behind a stone wall. 6- It will repeatedly move pieces back and forth to drive the “logical opposing knight” crazy. 7- It will not accept draws by repetition to avoid pragmatic annihilation. 8- It will not break defensive lines. 9- It will try to drive humans and machines insane. 10- It will take care of and look for a solution to the b4 break that AIs are producing. 11- It won't make pawn breaks past the 50-move rule, in its advent.
You might ask me, Doctor Larry Kaufman: And what about a machine called "Super Father Anti Machine Machine? " It would be a sparring partner for both humans and machines, which would often end up winning against humans and machines through a system of dehydration, fatigue, madness, and despair of its opponents. Right now that we are in the World Cup, It would be a team that brings the goalkeeper and the 10 players right near the goal, in such a way that it would "melt its rivals." This machine should combine the most relentless and clean mathematical logic with the most implacable counter-mathematical evasion, winning against the opponent with the same instruments of thought as the opponent. Doctor Larry Kaufman: I'm not a GM or a computer doctor. I just imagine having those skills and preparation to see how far I could fly... so let the Super Machine fly. Catecan will be happy.

...of course it would be a machine that would love draws, but not by repetition, not at the opponent's request, not by decree, but by the opponent's surrender, who due to stress prefers to grant a draw, which turns out to be a psychological victory. Doctor Larry Kaufman... the draws I achieve when playing chess against supermachines are not the result of cowardice; they are the result of an entire strategy aimed at reaching a draw against opponents vastly superior to me. Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator 1987 defeats the alien in the jungle, the predator that annihilated his companions? When “Dutch” is thrown into the wet mud by the atrocious and violent alien into a muddy swamp, it turns out that the long-range weapon blinded the alien. And that’s how Arnold won. I will be the first customer to buy that machine!!

...With all due respect, I want you to consider the following: When I've beaten the machines on time, or when the games I've played have ended in a draw, who caused the time win or the draw? Me. Machines with a super grandmaster level lost on time against an outsider, or declared a draw against a street fighter, or succumbed to a draw; aren't all these results victorious for me? Of course they are. Now, the odds are another wonderful world. I invite all humans to play against the odds to improve their minds and strengthen the existential tripod that helps us stand firm in the face of life's difficulties, a tripod composed of: 1. Body, 2. Mind, and 3. Soul. For me, the odds are something like fighting against "Rambo," "John Wick," "Commando," "Taken," "The Equalizer," or "I Will Find You" (David Burroughs). In a word: Prodigious.

Catecan: "Father, how many times have we gone around the Earth?"
Father: "Just a few more to reach 12.5 times."
Catecan: "I think we deserve a toast, Father."
Father: "Let's toast!!"
Catecan: "Let's toast!! Let's toast to the queen, the rooks, the bishops, the knights, the pawns, and the King and Queen."
Father: "Let's go for that. I toast!!"

You will be very happy to hear that a new Leaderboard is online now, with updates every few minutes! This one starts with games on Feb. 27, the day the bot was updated with the new "Search Contempt" idea, which boosted it by about 200 elo. The ratings assumed for Leela are increased by 100 when Leela is Black and by 200 when Leela is White based on a survey of games since the upgrade. So for example at 3'2" Leela as White is 2650 and as Black is 2450 now. Leela can now play 27 games at once, and the strength keeps going up, these rating estimates (for Lichess blitz) are actually still conservative, any rating you earn here is well deserved by Lichess blitz standards. https://lqo.leumon.com/

Good morning Mr. Larry Kaufman.

I hope you are well and continue well.
Today I turned on the computer and entered ODDS and compiled three dishes.
I am sharing the menu with you. Have a nice day.

Blessings.

Sincerely,

Catecan

Yes I'm fine, still upgrading the bots mostly with automated tuning of parameters; today LeelaRookOdds was updated. I think we'll have another challenge with prize money shortly, probably rook odds Rapid or slow blitz. In pure (1'0") bullet very few players can make a respectable score even with Queen odds, although one IM (Vincent Rothuis) has been scoring close to 40% recently (mostly with wins). With just rook odds it seems no one can score decently at normal (3'2") blitz, but at longer time controls the best players may have a good match.

I take my hat off to the robot LeelaRooksOdds with the utmost admiration, it is simply an amazing machine.!!

Good afternoon, Mr. Larry Kaufman. I hope you are well and continue to be so. Today, I would like to ask the scientific community whether it is mathematically feasible to build a computer—modeled after the "anti-computer" style I have employed over the years—designed to force a draw, win on time, break the opponent's algorithm, and block the board at all costs. Something akin to a "super-father anti-machine machine." If a decision is ever made to build it, I stand ready to contribute my own small part to the effort.

Yes, it would be quite possible to make a net for Leela that simulates your style of play aiming to force a draw by blocking the position. But I don't know who would have a use for it, except perhaps as an opponent for bots wanting to learn how to defeat that strategy. I imagine it already doesn't work at all against ordinary Leela in standard chess, I don't know if you have tried this. In odds chess, it works sometimes because Leela doesn't mind a draw when way behind in material, you are both cooperating to achieve the same goal! You might say that the Leela odds bots already adopt your style of play when the opening is suitable for that strategy and when the evaluation makes them want a draw, they already know that blocking the position is a good way to achieve a draw despite a material deficit.

Good afternoon, Mr. Larry Kaufman. I’m going to try to give you a description of the personality of the anti-machine machine that I’m imagining in my own words as the layman that I am. Algorithmic profile: This is a computer that has a clear understanding of the mathematical preferences of the opposing machine it faces and will have these characteristics, among others: 1- It will give up space in exchange for blocking. 2- It will avoid opening or semi-opening files. 3- It will refrain from penetrating the enemy field even if it finds a winning variation. 4- It will seek to keep the bad light-squared bishop when playing both white and black. 5- It will build a fortress behind a stone wall. 6- It will repeatedly move pieces back and forth to drive the “logical opposing knight” crazy. 7- It will not accept draws by repetition to avoid pragmatic annihilation. 8- It will not break defensive lines. 9- It will try to drive humans and machines insane. 10- It will take care of and look for a solution to the b4 break that AIs are producing. 11- It won't make pawn breaks past the 50-move rule, in its advent.
You might ask me, Doctor Larry Kaufman: And what about a machine called "Super Father Anti Machine Machine? " It would be a sparring partner for both humans and machines, which would often end up winning against humans and machines through a system of dehydration, fatigue, madness, and despair of its opponents. Right now that we are in the World Cup, It would be a team that brings the goalkeeper and the 10 players right near the goal, in such a way that it would "melt its rivals." This machine should combine the most relentless and clean mathematical logic with the most implacable counter-mathematical evasion, winning against the opponent with the same instruments of thought as the opponent. Doctor Larry Kaufman: I'm not a GM or a computer doctor. I just imagine having those skills and preparation to see how far I could fly... so let the Super Machine fly. Catecan will be happy.

...of course it would be a machine that would love draws, but not by repetition, not at the opponent's request, not by decree, but by the opponent's surrender, who due to stress prefers to grant a draw, which turns out to be a psychological victory. Doctor Larry Kaufman... the draws I achieve when playing chess against supermachines are not the result of cowardice; they are the result of an entire strategy aimed at reaching a draw against opponents vastly superior to me. Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator 1987 defeats the alien in the jungle, the predator that annihilated his companions? When “Dutch” is thrown into the wet mud by the atrocious and violent alien into a muddy swamp, it turns out that the long-range weapon blinded the alien. And that’s how Arnold won. I will be the first customer to buy that machine!!

...With all due respect, I want you to consider the following: When I've beaten the machines on time, or when the games I've played have ended in a draw, who caused the time win or the draw? Me. Machines with a super grandmaster level lost on time against an outsider, or declared a draw against a street fighter, or succumbed to a draw; aren't all these results victorious for me? Of course they are. Now, the odds are another wonderful world. I invite all humans to play against the odds to improve their minds and strengthen the existential tripod that helps us stand firm in the face of life's difficulties, a tripod composed of: 1. Body, 2. Mind, and 3. Soul. For me, the odds are something like fighting against "Rambo," "John Wick," "Commando," "Taken," "The Equalizer," or "I Will Find You" (David Burroughs). In a word: Prodigious.

When you make a draw with a strong bot in an even game, that is an accomplishment, and shows a flaw in the bot. But when you make a draw with a bot in an odds game, it just shows that the bot has been told that a draw is an acceptable outcome if you haven't lost material yet. We could fairly easy make odds bots that would avoid the draws you make by blocking the position, but we have no reason to do so because almost no one besides you aims for draws in odds games. Players are expected to play at "fair" odds where a draw is just a neutral result, as if the game didn't happen at all. But it is true that most players don't do this, they mostly play at odds that are too small to be fair, for example taking rook odds when they need queen odds for a balanced battle. So probably making an anti-draw bot would indeed help overall results, but results vs proper-level opposition would be worse. Perhaps if we eventually start to use the opponent's LiChess rating as an input, we might make two versions for each handicap, one "anti-draw" and the other like now. But that's a lot of work, and no one capable of doing this has volunteered. Maybe now that AI has such capabilities or will soon have them, we will be able to do things like this; at the very least expect further bot improvements. Already the current LeelaQueenOdds has achieved equal results in 3'2" blitz (playing White) against a "current" grandmaster (one still above the 2500 FIDE threshold and active), GM Vadim Zvjaginsev, the inventor of the opening 1.e4 c5 2.Na3!?.

Good morning Mr. Larry Kaufman, I hope you are doing well and always continue to be well. I would like to have the menu of machines that I could access, machines from around 1980, and test them chronologically, 10 games in bullet could work or 10 games in 3-0 blitz, 5 with white and 5 with black, against world champion machines and others, whichever the programmers find interesting and tell me to test. Machines from Chess Master onward, or even earlier ones that ran on DOS. Perhaps it could be historically useful and interesting to have this historical testing and have it published to be known through TalkChess as a reference source. I would also like to have the current machines installed on my PC and from, say, 2017 onward, and if possible all the main ones since 1980. If you are interested, Dr. Larry Kaufman, I want to tell the scientific community that it would be an honor for me to achieve my dream.

... I’ve come up with another idea that could be interesting: If some "good Samaritan" who loves computing and the development of the human mind wants to organize a 'Historical and Retrospective Tournament of Humans vs. Machines,' where we take it year by year and the results, for example 6 humans and 6 machines since or from 1980, and so on up to the present day, I would be happy to participate if they agree to organize such a competition. Again, Dr. Larry Kaufman, I sincerely want to thank you and the lichess and talkchess communities for allowing the voices of Catecan and Father to be heard over the years. I do all of this in memory of my dad, my mom, my family, my ancestors, truly, everyone on this planet Earth with no boundaries for me.

[Father]
