Ruffian - a new chess program of the top class Chapter 4: from a pupil becomes a master Just I wrote that me in Ruffian everything reminds somehow of Fritz, not only the style of play, but even the game strength. What is so fascinating, therefore, and originally in Ruffian? Few days ago (Sept. World champion Vladimir Kramnik an interview gave 02) in he said: " It is not important to have a good teacher - it is to be been importantly a good pupil ". Who does not know it yet, to that is lower said that nobody than Gary Kasparov, Kramniks the biggest chess teacher was. And who is today the world champion? Kramnik! At the beginning of the article I wrote the sentence: " A comet hits ". Besides, I remembered tennis player Boris Becker who could win in 1985 as 17-year-old and youngest all times, the biggest competition of the world: Wimbledon! He defeated in the final K. Curren, among other things with fantastic impacts and the famous Becker pike! One named him, therefore, also Bum-Bum Boris. He started in the competition as a No 100, and some time later after the competition, he already belonged to the top - Ten of the world! However, he had Boris Becker a good teacher was also a good pupil. What concerns the computer chess scene, the programmer of Ruffian has understood it also very well, many colleges of technology use the top programs and professionals efficiently to do his(its) own! These colleges of technology by no means are secretly (nobody the wheel has invented again), but it is a matter of applying them(her) effectively as only possibly! Before some time there were consulting hours in the Internet with the top programmer Stefan Meyer-Kahlen. He answered to the question what is the most important difference between professionals and amateurs among other things in a general manner so: " the professionals can to all a little bit better ". Ex-world champion Karpov on the question said a similar saying what puts out the difference of a world champion to a good Grand Master. He answered: " The world champion can everything a little better ". It is not about a new thing, but about the fact that one can them(her) better than other! Up to now it was so that have succeeded only completely few programmers in achieving in short time bigger progresses with their(her) programs. A small elite class had formed which dominated up to now the computer chess scene. No amateur's programmer has succeeded since 1996 (as mentioned) again in doing such a fast jump that he could mix together with the elite programmers. Now Ruffian, however, clobbers strongly, now he is already able in the first available version to defeat every professional! Does not fascinating? My answer louder Yes! Ruffian controls the most important colleges of technology just well as Fritz, and is possibly as fast therefore. For the implementing other chess knowledge without losing speed, is enough free space there. The strong of Ruffian lie unambiguously in the positionellen area as well as in the final, without the tactical weight of punch gets lost - here is Ruffian to the professional Shredder consider! With the king's safety it gets stuck with Ruffian still here and there, however, for it Ruffian can cling like no other program, like a panther to the opposing king, as well he is in the final if once he starts running not to brake any more. This dynamism is his(its) brand name! Followers two final examples illustrate to us this dynamism which can put Ruffian to the day: Gandalf 5.1 - Ruffian 1.0 6k1 / p5p1 / 4r3 / 1p3Q2 / 1Pb5 / 3p2PP / 3K4 / 8 b - - 0 95 Generated with GenDiag 1.6 (C) in 2002 by Andreas Herrmann ... Black to move 6k1 / p5p1 / 4r3 / 1p3Q2 / 1Pb5 / 3p2PP / 3K4 / 8 b - - 0 95 Without having to consider long, Ruffian threshed his(its) a farmer forwards with a7-a5 here! To create two free farmers, the white lady was powerless afterwards. Splendidly played, and in addition still quickly. After my previous experiences, Ruffian possesses special strong particularly in tower finals. E.g., he reels the following position without to consider, also without final data banks perfectly runter, in addition even with the appreciation of 0.00!

Many other programs would probably also win this position, however, I would like to illustrate the dynamism with the Ruffian here to works goes! The same position analyzes with Fritz 7.008: Fritz 7 - Ruffian 1/0/0 8/1p2p1k1/6p1/3P2Pp/4nP2/1pr1N2P/4K3/1R 6 b - - 0 1 Analysis by Fritz 7.008: 45...

Now Ruffian is even a master, and Fritz, but other professional also gives here, so some lesson! Here the complete portion to the sequel, they(she) points with which dynamism Ruffian can set to work. Anyhow, for me it has been fascinating to watch Ruffian with the game! [ Event " P600, Blitz:10 ' "] [ Site "?"] [ To dat. " in 2002.??.??
