Hi Jonas,

what a mega-thread... :)

>>besides... isn't
>>[D]rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1
>>the most equal term ?

>>:)

>>P.S.: Okay, you could also think about 7k/8/8/8/8/8/8/K7 w - - 0 1 thats even
>>more equal... :) I just add this not to get it as an answer... :)

>Yes it is the most equal term if you disregard wether your opponent is human or
>comp!

but why disregard ? In my opinion preperation against the opponent is a very
important thing in chess... and not only in human chess - look at dutch open,
Jeroen Noomen has 20 opening books with him, for almost any opponent a special
book for black and white... isn't that kind of preperation ? Before Deep Blue -
Kasparov they filled the box with almost anything they know about Kasparov...
Kasparov himself has nothing and one of his strong points get stolen - his
perfect preperation for his opponents.

By the way, something different that Eduard has discovered: Shredder 5 could be
easylie beaten by him with Trojans, I think he has posted once a game in 120/40
which was a mate in 19. After that SMK released Deep Shredder which has some
anti trojan code in it... The fun was: Yes, Deep Shredder was not so easy to
beat with trojans - but it also does not take the knight if it SHOULD take the
knight... :) Has anyone tested if Crafty shows some similar behaviour ? Ah, and
by the way, in my opinion a real step forward in computer chess would be, if
computers themself start to offer trojans... that would be extremely cool... :)
A comp that plays so called anti comp strategies... :)

Greets, Thomas
