My question is for Dr. Hyatt: what ELO Rating do >you think your program would get if it participated in human FIDE tournaments >for one year? I would say at least 2550, do you agree? >A. Ponti I think that parallel crafty is not going to get 2550 in fide tournaments because crafty has one disadvantage(the code source of crafty is free) and if crafty is going to play in fide tournament the opponents can learn exactly what is the evaluation function of it and go to positions when the evaluation function of crafty is wrong. I think it does not happen in ICC because the good players do not take the games seriously and do not want to improve their rating(If GM's want to improve their rating they can play standard time control of 120 60 only against computers and they do not do it). I believe that not free programs of the same level of crafty in computer-computer games have better chances for this reason. Uri
