Go up one level in this thread




>- you know my results (60% vs. Rebel 9 in a 40 game match 40/120, 65% in
>my play the game position etc. etc.).

I have found out that Rebel9 HAS problems with Fritz4 and also with
Nimzo3.5 when i tested Rebel8.
This is a long time ago.
I told Ed about (I think so. He said he cannot proof this. His results
against them are normal.)
Now you proof the same with a higher Fritz5 and a higher Rebel version.
This looks very normal to me too.
But is does not proof that Fritz is a s strong as Rebel.
It only proofs that Rebel8 had problems with fast-searchers like Fritz4
and Nimzo3.5 and maybe still Rebel9 with Fritz5 and Nimzo98 !
I hope this time Ed can reproduce my results better because YOU have the
same results here !

Target !
Campaign !
Your words Moritz. Your words !
It is not war !
And I am not fighting it. Chess is a war game. But I relax while doing
it. For me losing or winning is less important than HOW the games were
played.

AHA !! Don't you think that it is a little unfair to
tell the customers about 60 % and marvellous results and whatever, and
on the other hand YOUR results were produced with a totally different
engine ??

Sofware of the year ! And the customers get the "rubbish" software ?

I do not discard tons of games easily.
Don told me that I am biased and that he thinks I would not be able to
do a scientific experiment without influencing it negatively.

I take this as an insult. But it does not hurt me because I like Don.

Why do you think I am doing a personal vendetta or campaign ?
I would post the same thing when CSTAL would have played this, or
Shredder2.
Don't you see that this is nothing to be hurted much, it was a game to
replay, to consider about. Not an insult against ChessBase.
When I start a campaign I do it different. believe me.

I wonder why you tell me that your results are better, but you are not
using the commercial version !
Thousand of customers use MY commercial version !
Don't you think it is unfair to them to claim that Fritz5 is strong,
although THEIR version will not behave the way YOUR version does ?

In the original answer of me I told Bob in detail why it was NOT unfair
to put Fritz5 on a k6, why it was not unfair to use the commerical
version, not unfair to use a normal amount of hash.
Nobody chose the setup the way that fritz has to fail.
There was NO arrangement. I can let Shredder2, Virtual2, CM5000 or other
WIN-programs play against CSTal and again I have no idea why I should
arrange anything.
