When Mchess plays 38 moves out of book while hiarcs was out of book in move 23 and the score is -4.89 in move 38 i do not call this book preparation. This is the usage of auto232 games , inserting them into a book and by this method getting some more points in sweden. >I never criticized other programmers or book makers, why the others do not the >same? it is not unfair to discuss the sense of those kind of pre-outplayed games. if i would be a programmer and my program would run into such a pre-arranged game, i would be unhappy too. >Yes, but some people like to criticize too much and try to change things on >purpose. I do not like that. I do critisize when i see tht somebody is doing a mistake. or is behaving against the law or the rules, or is doing a mistake by wrong ethics. >Hiarcs is a very strong program and play in a human like style, so it is >possible that I have expected those move considering the variation. Well, if you >change the hardware the moves will not be the same anymore, so it may be >different. right. but this was the hardware in those days. sandro, i have nothing against shredder. IMO shredder was the strongest program in the tournament. but it got the title based on a wrong decision. and this is not good for nobody. BTW: i don't think that shredder7.04 is the best engine in the moment, i think hiarcs9 is stronger (you only have to change 2 switches). we will see how or if the next shredder can change this.
