Hi chessfun, after following your recent Nunn1 saga, I could not help noticing some strange time distortions occuring on sunday, this started with your post :- [ Message Number: 108521 Date: April 30, 2000 at 09:51:26 <snip> 1 min game Fritz 6a 18.0 - 2.0 Crafty 17-10 2 min game Fritz 6a 17.5 - 2.5 Crafty 17-10 3 min game Fritz 6a 15.5 - 4.5 Crafty 17-10 5 min game Fritz 6a 15.0 - 5.0 Crafty 17-10 I happened to let 5/0 run through the night. As a result it looped through and played 5/0 twice. In the second set of 20 games the score was: 5 min game Fritz 6a 9.0 - 11.0 Crafty 17-10 I am not sure what to make of it. ] and six minutes later:- [ Message Number: 108523 Date: April 30, 2000 at 09:57:29 <snip> I will play 10/0 twice also to see if a similar thing happens there. ] all fine so far, but then just 8 hours later:- [Message Number: 108559 Date: April 30, 2000 at 17:51:21 I think I need to clear before starting any new match. I restarted both after the 10/0 games and then got the same score. Re-ran the 5/0 after restart and again got the same score 15-5 to Fritz.] Wow - in 8 hours you ran 20 games at 10min/game time controls, restarted the computers, replayed 20 games at 10min/game time controls, and got the same score, then re-ran 20 games at 5min/game time controls even allowing for some very short games this is incredible. six hours later you posted this:- [ Message Number: 108583 Date: May 01, 2000 at 00:07:02 At 25/0 so far it's 9-0 to Fritz 6a though I have not as yet checked the games as the match is still playing. ] six hours for nine games at 25min/game is what I would expect, but the quote above raises three more issues 1) how did you find the time to check through the games, both at 5/0 and 10/0 as mentioned in a later post. 2) are you using the Internet on one of the computers at the same time as a test is running, geez, this makes me wonder if you have other things also sharing the processor, virus checkers, wallpaper, pet-catz, etc etc. 3) are you an alien living in a different time dimension, sent to earth to discredit crafty ;-) Best regards from planet Earth.
