Go up one level in this thread


1. try def+hyp

2. why don't you play 3'+2"

what is the sense to play 3/0 computer games ?

the result at the END of the game says nothing about the playing strength
of the program.

if e.g. program A is leading with 4 pawns but has 10 seconds less on the clocks
and this happens near 20 seconds before the game is over, you have a
WON game for A but in your table the game is "saved" as WIN for B (timeout).
Only because A is 10 seconds weaker.

what is the sense of such data ??

IMO this kind of data only shows which program can move faster, but not which
program is strong.

if e.g. A is better in 30 games, but loses all 30 because of timeout,
you conclude that B is the stronger chess program ??

what a nonsense.
