I wonder,
Are the games already published with notations ?

Thanks,

I wonder too,
How many Talkchess members started to believe (exception me) in that,
Richard B Ridick is a fake account and there was no a such testing ?!

Why I started to believe in this way:

1)My 6th sense is very strong...)))

2)His Talkchess registration date: Joined: 08 Jan 2014
Tournament start day: Fri Jan 17, 2014

3)Running a such professional testing (40/120) from unknown and new incomer...hmm

4)Why he did not publish the games with annotations....???
Simply because it will be easier to lie....

5) He promised (in he end) to publish the games with annotations, but ...))


One thing more, unfortunately:
-Many of the chess friends are interested on only results...
*For them, it does not matter, games are available with annotations or not...
- Also there are a lot of naive people (even without games) who believe that those testings are best )))

And another interesting and strange note:
- Such (fake) topics are becoming much more popular than ours... )))

Where is going Computer Chess ???

And a special note for the fake account user:
I enjoyed reading, when you lie...))!!
Because, you wanted to be look like as an expert, right ?
Yes... you tried, but you could not...!!

Btw, a little note:
As far as I know the 'real' Richard B Riddick (Vin Diesel)is:
The titular character of the Riddick series
And there is a movie, where this man who can see in the dark)))

Hello Sedat,

Why not simply wait until the match is over and examine the full pgns at that time? He has undertaken to release them.

I mean, it seems a strange use of time for someone to post pgns which are all fake.

To what end?

In any event, time will answer all these questions and, if you are proven right, so much sweeter for you.

I would prefer not to have to settle arguments about who is genuine and comments on the honesty of members.

I hope that you can appreciate that point.

Later.

Hello Roger,

You are taking about ''the time will answer''

Sure...but after 1 year, after 5 years, after 10 years...when ???

I think this ''time'' is come to be answered...
Even I can say, now it's late, but it's better late than never...!!

What kind of test is that, already 7 months past how it begun...
Even if the test was 24/hour per game would be finished till now ))

To be honest,
From the beginning... I had some suspicious about that testing
And day by day...I started to believe that he is a fake user and there is no such testing

And did you ever think ??
Why during his postings he did not publish the games with annotations???
What is the difference, if the games were with annotations in every his posting ? why he/she promised in the end ?

I hope his testing is genuine and I am wrong...
Then be sure I will apologize from him

But however,
I believe that we will never see those games with annotations...

Sad, but true...


Best,
Sedat

I think that when Stockfish 5 was released he no longer saw the point in continuing the match.

No...I don't think this can be the the reason about why he disappeared... !
Probably he understood perfectly that continuing 'lying' is meaningless !
Waste of time... no more no less...

Plus there are 2 months between:

Richard B Riddick's last posting : Sun Mar 30, 2014 8:26 am
Stockfish 5 engine's release date: Sat May 31, 2014 7:51 am

So since January 2014, Stockfish become as World's strongest engine
For example, many chess friends noticed that after Stockfish 5 release )))
Note also that previous releases of Stockfish are approx.3-5 elo weaker than Stockfish 5


BTW,
It is well for the heart to be naive and the mind not to be.
