If you would have followed the thread you will see i tried to
talk with Bob about it at 13 august for about 3 hours in a calm
way, but it was not possible. Everything was denied. Even
that recursive nullmove (R=3 i use) was not recognized as
something that changes speedup, despite even crafty showed
with asymmetric king safety a 0.2 difference in speedup.

2.8 versus 3.0

Bob denied it and also denies the 2.8 speedup but claims 3.1 instead.
His own few testpositions then he emailed to me and he claimed 3.0
at it, not 3.1. Now he refers again last weeks here at CCC as
3.1 to it.

I showed that every idiot with a parallel search can get a good speedup
in the positions Bob used for his crafty proof.

If he also misquotes all numbers to me, like not mentionning difference
between analysis mode in crafty NOT using asymmetric king safety and he
does, it is simply *denied* that things like singular extensions are
very bad for speedup, especially when running at a lot of processors.

Even if you show hard proof it is denied. If you show 30 positions
of crafty, not to mention the 100+ i ran here at DIEP, it is denied and
a week later forgotten.

How can i speak with someone who emails me that crafty copies 44KB
data structure and nalimov finds out it is 3KB?

How can i speak with someone who claims last few weeks
he removed last ply pruning out
of crafty before 1997, where i can show from source code that it
was still in it at 1999?

How can you speak with someone who claims deep blue searched 12 ply
with unimaginable extensions, then later says they searched 17-18,
and even for 6 months doesn't look in hard data written by DB team
themselves, and even then i still didn't hear a statement from bob
they searched 11-12 ply. They claim 12.2 ply, whatever they want,
11 or 12 i don't care. If they say it's 12.2 fine with me. But not
17-18 ply.

How can you speak with someone who claims in conversation to me
that crafty gets beaten by Cray Blitz with 5-0 without ever showing
proofs, games or whatever?

In fact he quotes that every year. In fact i have email where i ask
for a Cray executable, NWO here has some Crays you know...

"i don't have it someone else did the test"

I am not someone to spit deeper back than 1997 but i'm sure that if you
really want to hurt you should spit in that thesis and run a statistical
analysis on it.

Not a single logfile from cray blitz exists anymore. I have it in my
email box, but the numbers of the paper get posted here within a few
seconds when he needs them...
