Hi Anthony! >Interesting is of course a subjective definition, so its up to you :) Yes,many well known commercial programs entering the paderborn is very entertaining.There should be a lot of audiences spectating the event,I'd expect more fans of computer chess turn up crazily kibitzing over the game at ICC. unfortunately,there are only about 300 chess program users,If you consider all chess players use and test chess programs quite actively,then the computer chess fans would outwit the crazy Real Madrid club fans. [no pun intended] >From a strength perspective I think they are about equal, if you consider >Junior >= Hydra and >8xCrafty = Gandalf. Gandalf is slightly better than Crafty,but gandalf needs a decent hardware,its lacking. > Of course, if you think Hydra 'computes on >water', to mangle an old english saying, then you probably don't agree. I give Hydra a slight advantage over Junior,becasue people are not much impressed by Junior's play the last WCCC.Shredder defeated Junior,I'd expect Hydra to defeat Junior very easily,but thats underestimation. >Personally I would put Hydra as the favorite, unless Zappa improves a lot in the >next 4 months - which it won't, It would.It has improved a great deal in its play.Why not use the WCCC 05 Zappa version and see the result at Paderborn,I'd like[people do] to see unchanged Zappa WCCC play at Paderborn,Don't change too much,Anthony, I'm impatient[hate me for saying that].Don't do something on your code that might make Zappa play less strongly than the last WCCC version. Oh sorry,If you are going to improve further,do so. Shredder 7.04 still plays decent chess than shredder 9. Shredder 9 is doing better than WCCC shredder[see the fruit-shredder game I was spectating that game at ICC] that's what makes me tell you not to change too much,still its upto you] :) I should stop posting immature stuffs here.thanks people for pointing me out that :) Zappa WCCC would still do better than Hydra,Hydra's paderborn results were poor,but that happened a long time back. > as I'll be busy taking classes and talking to >professors and in general being a graduate student. >anthony WOW!you look like Keanu Reeves in this picture! http://sjeng.org/iceland/HPIM0553.html
