Quote from http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?336001: "The match will be done like older FIDE world championship matches - the first one to win 6 games wins the match, draws won't count." Baguio 1978 for example was won by Karpov against Kortchnoi 6:5 with 21 draws - I use the same system here. We won't get a statistically significant result - my life (and holidays) are much too short for that :). >If you want to see the book learner work effectively, here is what to do >(if you play another match): <snip> >I don't play like that on ICC as it is way too strict and I want lots of >variability. > >But it will make a difference, if you really think you like aggressive >learning. There is no way to be more aggressive than what the above >will do. :) First, thanks for the info on the booklearner. You should add this to Crafty's README IMHO - I think some users will be interested very much. Here it doesn't matter much what I personally like as my task simply was to setup both programs in an optimal way according to their producers/authors. Personally I dislike all kind of booklearners btw. But I really can't understand how you can say that Crafty likes variety against computers - with default settings it certainly has the narrowest book against computers from all engines I have ever seen. And I really think this is a very bad idea as partially also shown in this match. Thank good that even the 3% moves sometimes show up eventually - it might save Crafty's head in this match ;). All the best, Peter
