Those who have been watching will have noted that TDChess improved in each of the last four weeks (while playing an average of about 450 games per week), starting at 2338 five weeks ago. Don't know whether this is due to program changes or the effects of TD lambda, perhaps Jon could enlighten us. So congratulations to Mr. Baxter, he or his hidden units have been working hard! Per rule, if he is above 2600 next week, he officially graduates. Everything else was fairly quiet. No new highs were recorded, and no one changed hardware. The list order was similar to last week, except that XXXX-2 was moved to the inactive list, having not played for a few weeks. SSEChessII did not play, and I have a hunch that time on that P2/400 is getting scarce. I notice that WildChild has played a few games, just testing probably. But perhaps Brian is getting close. TDChess is again the games-played leader at 380. For the Record Some of these programs play under different accounts at ICC, run by individuals not affiliated with the authors. For example, SSEChessII plays as SSE, Lambchop runs under various accounts, and sometimes Secret runs EXchess. Inmichess and Rival also have other accounts. I don't list them here because they aren't the accounts of the authors, and also it would get too confusing. But for those who want to play them when the main account isn't running, they are there.
