Go up one level in this thread


How many professionals participated in france ???

:-))))

how big are the chances to be better than amateurs
when the only professional is tiger ??

tiger 15 is weaker in tournaments because it plays more acurate
(petrosian alike) than other tiger versions.

this playing style is not good for tournaments. it is on the
other hand better for long matches.

for championships it would IMO be better to participate
with an aggressive program that shortly after the opening
takes over initiative.


but : you "told us so".

why do we test programs anyway ?
maybe it would be much easier to ask you before, and
write a religious speech about in CCC :-)))

we sell our PC's, and become a member of your relgion :-))

the style of tiger versions has changed IMO
very often:

tiger 11.2  was IMO agressive attacker, took the initiative soon
tiger 12    was petrosian, calm and positional player
tiger 13    aggressive
tiger 14    aggressive
tiger 15    more like petrosian with a piece of fischer IMO


I do prefer the more aggressive programs too.

with a passive program, you can be lucky to get a draw (in ONE game).
thats not enough for a tournament .

in a tournament you must collect as much points as you can get.
a draw is not enough.

so passive style leads to losses.
