Go up one level in this thread


Bob,

I have not seen a "this type of position" at 40/2 that anyone can get more than
one win with.  Each so called "this type of position" only leads to a single win
that a program with learning avoids later, so I do not see the "this type of
position" argument holidng up.  If you can provide me the "this type of
position" and some lost games, I would appreciate it.

I am looking for 40/2.  At blitz or ICC time controls that are not long, then
bets are off since the computer can be tricked with little time to think.
Tacticts that work at short time controls do not seem to work at long time
controls for more than a game or two.  If you can provide me 40/2 games and
results, I would appreciate it.  As you have said many times, blitz has no
relationship to 40/2 games.

If the "this type of position" exists, it will be a breakthrough.  Right now the
programs are leading by about a 2 to 1 victory margin and noone can find a
consistant winning "this type of position".  GM Kramnik is working on it, but
even he needs 3 months playing the program and I doubt a single "this type of
position" will emerge, he will win, but it will be with diversity.

Please only respond with the "this type of position" and some 40/2 results to
back it up.  Thanks!  :)

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
