Lucky for Noonianchess some others had major bugs causing noonianchess to not look too bad. I can myself (FM) beat noonianchess blindfolded. No problem. When i blitzed against it, it made some 4 ply errors against me, but those were caused basically by evaluation errors (searching 8 ply or something in the blitz) not so much by tactics. Sharky searching at 1 ply deep, giving a queen away in the far end in 2 ply against DIEP, was obviously too weak for the world champs. Nevertheless so little participants were joining, that all entries are welcome. Noonianchess level is therefore very acceptible. He scored points against others. Sharky definitely was too weak everywhere, in programming, in searching, in speed, in everything. >On October 24, 2002 at 23:01:15, Peter Kappler wrote: > >>Nope, Warp won on tiebreaks, 21.0 - 20.5.
