You tell us a good anecdote for the difference between human chess and CC. In human chess it's all about the mutual knowledge of the other's chess career. Each player has a different personality. To combine you own chess talents with the knowledge for the opponents habits to finally solve a chess position, that is human chess. CC is this: I have a black box and you have a black box. We both state that we can play chess with our box against the other box. Tomorrow I come with the same box but the content is new again. This led to the confusion in CC as if the real name of the unknown content were the main thing in CC. At that moment people began to test. We have many here who began their career with 10, ok, still later than a human chess GM but still sensational. The chess as such is more what water is for the swimmers, it's necessary but the "content" of the black boxes has so many buttons and features so that water could become unneccessary like the real guitars in the so called "air" as it's called in German, the artificial Guitar play without a real guitar, where the player just fakes the mimikry of real giants on guitar. They do Wchampionships like CC does! Now what is CC against human chess? Ok, that is oe team with a black box against a famous human chessplayer! Somewhere in the box there are the 5000 played gamescores of the player. Somewhere the games of all masters in 500 years are stored. And to omit the influence of too much calculating the box has perfect tables of technical endings. Like in the military nobody knows exactly what is new in the tables. Where is the actual limit? 14 men? <gg> Now to evacuate all possible questions about fairness, it's clear that the human plays after the known FIDE rules. Included the forbidden usageof books or computers. While the CC side of course has an extra permission to use computers. Actually they already played with 512 computer, all in one black box!!! Wait - I forgot the chess problem. Yes, the human plays normal chess. Although he has no opponent because he doesn't know who is in the box. The games will show it. But after each game the personalities are changed. No, not on the human side, but in the black box! Still some more questions? Yo want to know what we have in the box? <laughing> No, I can't tell you. If you wantto see how it could look like, just go to Dr Hyatt's FTP and take a look at Crafty. That is a public and free program. Ok, right, the professionals have hundreds of smart feature more, but this is not important. You wanted to see how such a program looked like and I gave you the answer. I can't tell you more because this is TOP SECRET. If you want to see more games, just come to our next exhibition show. Hiarcs will play Bareev. Jan28. Is it allowed that I could ask a question? What is the name of that chess you play between blackbox and a human GM? I was told that if I would change a single rule of that game, then it would be a completely new game. Ok, But what was the name before? :) Hope this helps. Rolf Tueschen
