Hi Omid, >Also, GM Boris Alterman (Junior team) with 2555 Elo :) I would say he really does not count - he is not programming... (of course he is team-member) ... but that are just MY stupid rules for the list... :) >> so welcome in this exclusive club above... WOW... One question I may ask: >> isn't it frustrating for one like you, knowing so much about chess, to see >> its child often so helpless and have no real idea how to teach it for >> humans so easy knowledge ? > Believe me, there is nothing more frustrating than seeing your engine > evaluate a position so wrongly that you want to shout YOU IDIOT!!! hehe, that sounds a bit like Vincent at the tourneys... :) Besides, thats one of the reasons why Quark is named Quark. In german Quark means cream cheese... and when you say "Was für ein Quark spielt der da"-"what a quark is he playing" - you mean, oh how stupid does it play here... And with Quark I was also thinking about the smallest parts of the world to have a synonym to how much Quark really knows from chess... But the positions get really less nowadays where I can say "what a quark does it play here" - simply because I do not understand why it is losing... :) So my life is much easier then yours... :) (But I definitely have problems to implement more knowledge, simply because I do not know more about chess - thats why I read from time to time chess books and still have not given up to play chess on ICC... My guess for my own Elo is around 1000 - I am fighting together with Scott Gasch (Monsoon) for the title: Biggest gap between chess strength and programmers - strength... :) Anyway I believe that I know still more from chess (which is not much) then Quark - but I have simply tactically absolutely no chance... Greets, Thomas
