Hi,
I have some interesting news. A young programmer from my University (the
University of Nis, Serbia), an electronics engineer, Vladan Vuckovich, has
created a strong chess program called Geniss Axon. This program had its first
public tournament against humans the day before yesterday and it won ahead of
three IMs! It was a rapid chess event and here is one of the games. Look at
the move Nd4 when Geniss sacrificed its Bishop :)
Vladimir has contacted me saying that he has decided to apply for the Leiden
tournament if something like that is feasible within the Leiden participation
rules. Therefore I would like to ask some people from the Leiden organisation
team to tell me what the participation rules are and in case Geniss Axon could
be admitted to the tournament would there be someone to operate Geniss Axon for
Vladan (if that is possible too, because I believe that programmers are usually
required to operate their own programs). The program is extremely fast (about 2
million positions per second on my Athlon 2400+) and written in assembler. Just
like Fritz... It has beaten some commercials several and I saw it beat Crafty as
well:) Geniss Axon has been in development since 1997, but it has started
playing friendly games against humans only last year.
I am attaching a game from the day before yesterday when Geniss Axon beat IM
Miljkovic (the "atc" stands for the attacking version of Geniss Axon, targeting
human players).
