Hi there, at the moment I make a little experiment and created a webpage to this experiment. At the moment is the webpage only in German available. Amateure contra Profis under: http://amateurschach.in-trier.de/schach/cbase/experiment.htm The question is: Can an amateur program win a world championchip? I will here plays 20 tourneys swiss system with 16 programs and 9 rounds. The same programs / versions with 40 moves in 10 minutes. Furthermore, without tablebases (I believe this is also interesting). In the last days I play a test tournament, only to see different configurations. T-01: http://amateurschach.in-trier.de/dia/t-01.jpg http://amateurschach.in-trier.de/dia/t-01.zip (games in CBH). Crafty 18.10 with a very good result but the first 3 programs are professionals. I think that maybe in 5% the amateurs can win the WM, but the reality is that maybe 0.1% amateurs can win a tournament. Christoph Fieberg have for years written a little program for calculating the probability. Christoph wrote in CSS Forum a lot of interesting things about statistics. In the next few weeks I add all 20 tourneys with statistics on this page. Have a nice day ... Best Frank
