Go up one level in this thread


I agree 100%.  While C vs C is interesting, I have came to the conclusion that C
vs C does NOT calculate ELO.  According to SSDF, Deep Fritz is 2600+ and
Shredder is technically the "World Champ" and SHOULD have a higher ELO.  However
Petr said that Shredder performed @ approx. 2100-2200 in our game.

And I do NOT disagree.  Shredder played like a complete patzer.  I have gone
over and over the dump file from Shredder 1,000 times.  It changed plans every
move.  It gathered no intiative, and developed nothing.  It simple played a very
reactive game of chess.  Reactive playing is of course NOT the way to win.

I played the game, with the SAME time controls with Deep Shredder vs Fritz 6
from the moment I went out of book.  (Out of book for good that is.)  Is it
surprising that Deep Shredder won?

Petr and I will be playing again soon.  I hope to play EVER GM on ICC at LEAST 1
30/10 game.  After the game, I told Petr, "I searched the DB, and I noticed you
have NEVER won a game against a (C) here with a standard timer.  How did you do
so well here."  He simply replied, "I test theory with computers.  And none of
those games were for money."

Lesson being:  Don't tempt GM's with money.  :)
