Amazing Q3 personality of Rebel Century!!! Its amazing!! Q3 got the key moves of the following games, which most commercial programs cannot find even if they run for days. 14. Rxh4!! Anand – Ivanchuk Las Palmas 1996 23. c5!! Ivanchuk – Kasparov Linares 1991 12. … h4!! Larsen - Spassky Belgrade 1970 14. … e5!! Reshevsky – Vaganian Skopje 1976 17 … Rxc3!! Pillsbury – Lasker St. Petersburg 1896 26. Rxf6!! Spassky- Geller Sukhumi match 6 1968 17. d5!! Kasparov – Portisch Niksic 1983 21. e5!! Spassky – Petrosian Moscow, match 19, 1969 44. Nxg6!! Kasparov – Karpov Seville, match 8, 1987 17. Bxg7!! Karpov – Huebner Tilburg 1982 11. Bxc4!! Geller – Dreev New York 1990 25. Qxg6!! Larsen – Petrosian Santa Monica 1966 25. Rxg7!! Hoi – Gulko Thessaloniki Olympiad 1988 26. Nxh6!! Kasparov – Karpov NY/Lyon match 20, 1990 Q3 even found the move 17. Rxb7!! of Kasparov – Shirov Horgen 1994, but it changed its mind after more than 3 minutes on my Athlon xp 1500+. That was the game that Kasparov said no computer would understand the move. I’m sure there are a lot of games that Q3 will find the key move. It’s very efficient in finding the key moves, it usually finds the key move faster than the commercial programs. But it’s a poor player when I played it against Rebel Century. It strength lies in finding outrageous moves. It’s a good alternative engine for finding deep tactical shot in a position. It’s also very helpful in exploring wild ideas. Maybe Kasparov can use it in finding novelties cause I tried in in some games and it was able to find the novelty moves. Maybe a little more tweaking will improve its positional play to help it play a complete game of chess. The key is to improve its postional play without affecting its unique tactical eye. But of course its very hard to do cause one adjustment will affect all the others. Just have to find the optimum. It needs a lot of experiments.
