Junior 2010 ... MISS THE POINT of chess ... NOTE = 6 !!

Post by Frank Quisinsky »

Hi there,

sense of chess is to checkmate, to win the game!
Junior 2010 miss the point.

Example:
KQ vs. K or KR vs. K and much other endgames Junior 2010 will not give mate. The games will be ended with 50 moves-rule.

For a commercial engine ... so many years available ...
it isn't acceptable!

NOTE = 6 (1-6, 1 for best score)
Sorry !!

Developers should be test endgames without endgame tablebases and resign mode.

And of course yes:
I played 4 games and don't lose one of the games in 40 in 10. I am a grandmaster ... all games are remis :-)

Best
Frank

Winning positions also end in stalemate draw.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.
