Go up one level in this thread


Bob Minge's predictions
1. Deep Junior         9.0/11
2. Shredder            8.5/11
3. Crafty              8.0/11
4. Diep                7.5/11
5. Fritz               7.0/11
6. Deep Sjeng          7.0/11
7. Falcon              6.5/11
8. Jonny               6.0/11

Its going to be tough for the top 5. Anything could happen
For the sake of me talking and guessing, lets just say the following pairings
will happen
For Junior to keep the lead, it Must win against ParSOS, draw against Fritz, and
  win or draw against Falcon (Shredder has already played those).
For Shredder to catch up it Must win against deep Sjeng, draw or win against
ISIChess and draw or win against falcon (Junior has already played those).
In the standings now at the end of round 7, all the top 10 have a possibility of
3 or 4 games against other programs in the top ten.
If you look at the possibility of games against just the top 5, Diep has the
hardest row to hoe, with possibly 3 games; ISIChess, Jonny, Falcon, Fritz,
ParSOS, Deep Junior all have possibly 2 games, and Crafty, Deep Sjeng, Shredder
all have possibly 1 against the top 5.
So looking at it the non-mathamatical way, it looks like Shredder and Deep Sjeng
have the best possibility to end up on top and Crafty could be close.
And, there could be 4 in the top 8 that are "non-professional" ie. non-selling,
(Crafty, Diep, Falcon, Jonny)
Disclaimer: I do not program anything on a computer (mother-in-laws VCR-yes) and
have the utmost respect on all 200+ (300+?)chess programers around the world.
This is just rambling that I hope is close.
Any flames directed at me will result in me remembering the immortal words of my
Mother in my younger days when she was combing the snarls in my hair and it
hurt; she would say ...."I don't feel a thing"
