While it is extreme and unacceptable to suggest that a psychiatric remedy may be needed, I too find these games a little distasteful. Novices and patzers (i.e., as far as I have sampled to date, the local population) may think they actually are learning something chessical from these miscellaneous oscillations. :( Perhaps this nouveau "chess knowledge" makes such claim that GM Kasimdzhanov's brilliancy on move 26 of his round 1 match vs Hydra at Bilbao was a blunder, or a prelude to a suicidal attack, etc. In fact it leads to a safe draw provided K. does not blunder. But I digress. Back to these oscillations! It is a psychiatric fact, and I speak with some knowledge here, that contemplating monotonical oscillatory movements with certain frequencies can induce a variety of disturbances. :) However, you may have overlooked that there is a small benefit from this type of unchessical thing. "Father" is costing these chess engines "points". :) Maybe this will in some way result in pressure on authors to eventually work to ensure that their programs deal with these issues - clock-handling in closed positions avoiding closed positions breaking out of closed positions, sacrificing if necessary [D]6rk/3bb2q/np1p2rn/1NpPp2p/1PP1PpP1/P2Q3P/1R3NP1/3BBRK1 w - - 0 30 What, for example, could make any reasonable player think that the above position is "+= or better for white"? Just look at what is bearing down on the hapless WK. These oscillations! What do you think, both of the positive aspects of these "chess" games (i.e., to motivate authors) and of the negative (see above). Best, A.S.
