Subject: The NPS Challenge =-= All over again........

Ok, so I have decided to run the NPS challenge all over again.  And this time,
there will be a winner.

HOWEVER, there will be a few differences.  No one seems to have a version 11.x
Crafty, and I don't have a computer to run the old Rebels.  So this is not by
choice, rather by must.

Here it is:

Century 4 vs Crafty 18.13

20 games of 40/120.  Just to get a baseline.

20 games of Century 4 @ 40/2 hours vs Crafty 18.13 @ 40/200 hours.  (Exactly
100x the amount of time Century will have.)


What this match will prove:  Not a damn thing.

But you have to admit, if Crafty loses horribly in the first match, but does
outstanding in the second match, wouldn't it raise your brow?  Would mine.

Century will get approx. 3 minutes per move, Crafty will get approx. 200 minutes
per move.  That is *quite* an advantage.

I will post the games after each one is played.  With a current result.  PGN's
and logs will be available by request.

Ok Ed, up to you now.  All I need is Century 4.  :)
(I have Century 3 by the way.)
