You love to mention the Leo D >Tournaments. Have you forgotten how the Crafty overall is there... well Crafty does very well in the premier division. Movei is fighting for promotion to the first division that is one division lower than the premier division. I do not know the difference in elo between the divisions. I know rating based on the nunn match at blitz http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/ratings/ratingsnunn.htm Crafty19.11 2699 Movei 00_8_178 2552 Difference is slightly more than 100 elo without considering the book factor. In Leo's rating list we have Crafty19.06 2596 Movei 0.0.8.131 2415 > > >>I plan to improve movei before the match(I already have a version that is >>probably better than the public version and I plan to release a better version >>in the next 10 days. >> > >You have mentioned in this forum that you have difficulties in improving your >current Movei. How do you plan to do that in 10 days? That is another Uri Blass´ >typical contradiction in order to begin another absurd discussion? I mentioned that I need to rewrite the code to make things more easy for me and to implement some things but I do not think that it means that it is hard to improve the current code. I am going to allow the users to change weights in the search and the evaluation and there is a good chance that it is possible to improve the program only by changing weights. > > >>Even 1.e4 a5 is not automatic loss and for black and seeing the result of a >>match of 40 games is going to be interesting. >> > >Try 1. e4 f6!! 2. d4 g5!! 3. Qh5++ Maybe you can win..... No The only reason for changing the first move in long matches is that it is the best solution that I have to avoid losing the same game again and again. In Leo's tournament I do not do it because the match is only of 4 games so it is enough to learn to change the first move after a loss. > > >>> >>>Maybe a Movei-Diep match would be more interesting. >> > >Well, if you mention this nonsense... what should I take care of any proposal? >Movei must face engines of its level, but not Crafty or Diep... God.... I see no reason. In Thorsten czub's tournament(120/40) it beated Fritz8,Yace,Mchess and drew with Rebel and Elchinito. Of course they are better than it and I did not mention the losses in this post(it has 4/11) but it is not without chances. > >>I prefer not to discuss about things that will never happen. >>Like hyatt I do not plan to bet about matches. >> >>Uri > >Of course, this wont happen. How can it happen such a nonsense? It is not going to happen because I believe that Vincent is not going to release Diep in the near future. With Crafty it is dependent on the interest of users(I choose to use computer time for other purposes so it will be productive if users can help me to get data) Uri
