CHESS
Set on red
A set class player shocks the experts with a sensational performance
explosion. Did it geschummelt with computer assistance?
Germany has a new genius. Beside Goethe, Beethoven and Einstein
Clemens
ALL who man will arrive shortly as a top executive teutonischen
Denkertums at
world-wide fame. Presupposed that its phaenomenale performance came
with
the Boeblinger open with fair means.
With the chess tournament in the Swabian one ALL who man, managed 55,
a
singular feat. The amateur of the SK Memmingen 1907, so far even in
the
domestic set class never as an exception talent been noticeable,
occupied
briefly before Silvester with four top players the first workstation
and took 1660
Marks of premium.
The triumph applies with experts as sensation, so uniquely, as if
Helmut Kohl
would have won with the German championships in the stabhochsprung.
With
the play strength of the Memmingers a workstation under the first 100
of 309
users would have been already an enormous success.
ALL who man keeps himself rather constant for years at 1925 Elo
points a
performance level, which each moderately talented humans with some
exercise
achieve. In Boeblingen however its presentation corresponded to
suddenly
2630 Elo points.
With this value, permanently furnished, the hero, who came from the
set class,
would be one of the best German players and in the world rank list
under the
first 40. The century talent Garri Kasparow holds the highest Elo
number ever
achieved with 2825.
ALL who man explains himself its wondrous thrust simply: " I played
the
tournament of my life. That was much luck, as with roulette: All set
on black, I
as only on red. "
The airy assertion is able to convince observers not quite. The fact
that a
moderate player with much luck defeats times a professional may still
concern.
From a performance explosion, which persists nine portions, however
nothing is
well-known in chess history. In the opposite: With the age the play
quality
decreases according to experience.
All nonsense, counters ALL who man. Since it is no longer employed,
it plays
remote chess and operates on a participation at the senior world
championship.
Daily train he four hours, last the malicious Sweschnikow version.
Connoisseurs of computer programs discovered Hamburg software
workshop
Chessbase into ALL who man play meanwhile astonishing parallels to
the most
popular German chess program " Fritz " from that. The Tueftler of the
company
after-played ALL who man portions with her present point version
Fritz 5,32 and
" magnificently amused themselves, because we rediscovered, say our
baby "
Chessbase founder Frederic Friedel.
" (Friedel), suggested with the test the software would never play
the even
brilliant courses of ALL who man, " one normal humans. It was
particularly
suspicious that ALL who man before its victory announced Sergej
Kalinitschew
(SV Luebeck) uebermuetig against the German large master: " matte in
eight
courses ".
When the world elite meets, at present with the tournament in the
Dutch Wijk
aan Zee, which analyzed questionable position, " fallow spontaneous
amusement out ", reports the Indian top player Viswanathan Anand.
None the
international Topkraefte discovered the matte; Fritz against it found
the courses
in one minute, to 15 seconds.
Chess actually loads to the Cyper Doping in. Since world champion
lost
Kasparow 1997 against the IBM Superrechner " Deep Blue ", the fight
is
decided. In the meantime commercial software on a computer of the
Discounter
on world-masterly level plays. In addition a few electronics sections
from the
Spy Shop, somewhat criminal energy and the layman plays point chess.
A mini camera, approximately in the tie, transmits the current
position to an
assistant in the auditorium or on a close hotel room. Since ALL who
man is
often to have murmured during his portions, a transmittal could have
taken
place also by microphone.
The aid types the data and gets immediately the optimal course
supplied. This
can be transmitted now with few impulses, approximately over tiny
senders in
the ear or recipients under the clothes. The first impulses can
indicate for
example the letters, a second series the zahlenreihe, third the
course: Three
impulses break five impulses break six impulses would mean about
farmer
c5-c6.
Concerned by the possibilities for the abuse " most ", Kasparow
recruits for
years for " Advanced Chess ": Each player is to use computers and
software of
its selection and to be allowed during the portion to analyze. With
large weapon
equality, so the Russian, became in the long run nevertheless humans
spirit
obsiegen.
For ALL who man next appearance, in March in bath Woerishofen,
recommends to let Friedel, " each ingenious course " explain by the
amateur
player " plausibly ". The suspected one against it threatens with "
legal steps "
against everyone, which zichtigt it the fraud.
Its sensation success is to be owed only to its persistent training,
among other
things also with software from Hamburg. Since 1989 ALL who man,
acquires
customer number 21048, regularly the newest version of Fritz. ***
