Subject: icc games analysis

All,


Here are the current games listed in the history of the
ersatz ICC account BillClinton, along with some analysis.
I got spanked last time I mentioned cheating, so this time
it's strictly hypothetical.  I apologize to whoever it was I
mentioned last time.  (Moderators get moderated too, you know).

My intent here is to discuss the possibility that this
account may be using a computer.  It seems to play
much stronger than its rating would indicate.  I welcome
comments that point to another interpretation.  If someone
can make the case convincingly that these games look like
those of a 2100 rated player, I'll accept that.

Included are the games in PGN.  The games are also listed with
the move times, which show an unusual use of time for such
a player.  Finally, the Hiarcs analysis is given.

I challenge anyone to find a tactical mistake in the opening or
middlegame, or indeed anytime sufficient time remains.  In every
game, BillClinton outplays his opponent (with the exception of
game 19, in which an error is apparently made with time left).

See analysis by Hiarcs.  Games show a fair correlation between Hiarcs
and BillClinton, but where the move differs, it's usually as good or
better than the Hiarcs move (until time trouble).

Opening moves are almost always played in 5-6 secs, then vary when
out of book.  Moves are never made quickly until time trouble,
when play gets bad.

Game 1
Opening book 10 moves
Result - White +10, gets low on time, draws by repetition.
A good player would never draw this game, with 2 sec increment.

Game 2
Opening book 10 moves
Result - Black +10, gets low on time, puts queen en prise and loses
on time.  How many 2167 rated players have you seen let the clock run
off 10 seconds in a won position with 35 secs to go, then drop the
queen two moves later?

Game 3
Opening book 24 moves! (Amateur was in book 24 moves).
Result - White +6, low on time, loses a piece and draws by rep.
Note that at move 63 White starts moving immediately, then drops
the piece, and finally draws.  With a 2 sec increment, a 2177 player
wouldn't have this kind of trouble.
