Fritz5 vs Rebel8 was a complete wipeout as Rebel8 kept repeating the same losing line while Fritz5 provoked the same winning line for itself. The percentage of duplicate games was uncommonly high. However when Fritz5 played Junior4.6 (either 4.6 or earlier) the duplicate games were I recall non existant. This was due to Junior's wide and varied book ( in my opinion a nice feature for consumers). These games are all available for download from Tony Hedlund's site. http://home.interact.se/~w100107/welcome.htm > >I suspect that fritz5 is a program that is strong in learning a specific >opponent > >I am not against learning but I think that it is better not to play against the >same oponent again and again. > >It is better for example that fritz5 will play the first game against Genius5, >the second game against Mchesspro7, the third game against Nimzo98... > >If it has not enough opponents and have to play against the same opponent many >times then at least it should play against other opponents before it plays >a game against the same opponent. > >Uri Will computer programs ever be able to recognize which computer opponent they are playing? Other than be informed by some auto-play built in feature I can't see how they will determinre who they are playing. This was a nice advantage for Deep Blue as it knew it was playing Gary K while other computers just "play the board".
