>Add another % to that Samb is going to win from me. Well you can believe that of course. I found it interesting to know what the players think about it. With the poll, we have got the answer. The human players are still considered to be superior. We'll see what this match brings. Personally, I don't really know what is going to happen, though of course, a few tests have been made against a few strong players. >BTW i understand for commercial interests beating a GM is >more interesting, but how about trying to beat my friend >Marcel Monteba first? Firstly, indeed, who would be interested to follow a one week match on the Internet if it is not against a strong player? Secondly, from his rating, I believe Marcel Monteba has a level close to mine. And believe me, I would not play a game against Buggy in the same conditions as N'Diaga Samb will in a few days. I would simply be crushed. I have no doubt about it. And this is said, even though I know how Buggy works (and its weaknesses)... Yes ! >He completely annihilated all draughtsprogs here at home, >in fact any national class player can easily draw draughtsprogs >as the center is less important as it is in chess. Easily draw against a program and win easily is two different things. Probably in our game, a strong player can indeed easily draw in most games. But he will not win often. >Are there any match results known from this category players? We have stated so far that this was the first man-machine match for this game. Some years ago, we've seen computers playing against humans but either they were only blitz games (not long games at 2hr/50 moves) or they were played against different opponents. There are never been any match (as far as we know). Nicolas Guibert. www.buggy-online.com
