Dear Fernando.
Antichess or Antiajedrez - in my humbble opinion Fernando - is the same chess
that human beings have played all the time, but in the antichess the chess game
is played into the other face of the same coin, like a parariel Universe.......
Now, antichess is iqual to antialgorithm ...... or ..... Chess is the day
......antichess is the night........ And day + night = One day .......
For example If human beings - my humbble opinion remember I have lost many many
games - are going to play games of antichess against Hydra, Shredder, Fritz,
Junior,  Chess Master, human beings must play like I have play .......
But if a human beings are going to play against an engine modified, like Com
Quark, or against  Gambit Tiger 2.0., or Rufian, or Crafty, or Fruit 2.0, will
be necesary to modified the strategy for human beings and to seek other diferent
antiagorithm.
Chess is a battle.
And in the battle only will be wining whom will be alive ....... for that reazon
have not any sence tha Top chessplayers will be losting the games playing
computes that they could have drew or won.
Now ...... antichess principles have an absolutly diference meaning of ortodox
chess concepts.
For example:
1- Human being must play only in fisrt 3 lines
2- To change the King bishop
3- Not change the bad Queen bishop(better for defense)
4- Only wait and wait ....
5- To play fast and lost many times muving the same figure
6- The rook value is not better thant the knight value.

Finally: There are comercial  strong problems ....... Chess engines have start
the way of the battle into an special algorithm or rute ,,,,,,,, for that
reazon, The Top  engines wont could change his algoritmh, becouse possible will
be losting into WCCC, and will be out of the market....

But remember ........ "I have been thinking the chess is into a coin. And human
beings have for ever played chess into a face ...... now I am playing in the
other face ,,,,,, antichess...... Other face .....

And antichess is easy ..... for everyone .......

I would like to see a strong chess engine that will be disigner to play
antichess ...... only in first 3 lines...... using his tactic power only for a
good defense ..... thinking all the time in blocked th board.....

Best regards,


Pablo
