Go up one level in this thread


I am running Tord's Glaurung 1.0 as an analysis engine, in the Shredder Classic
interface and so far it seems to be doing well!

Glaurung stopped its overnight analysis after 1177 minutes running non stop in
Adams-Topalov, but I'm not sure that was the program or something I did. Pro Deo
was also analyzing at the same time and I was reading on the net, I stopped Pro
Deo then but not Glaurung I believe, maybe something went wrong there.

But after this computer analysis I think the 12..Bf8 line (Sicilian
Scheveningen) as used by Topalov against Adams in Round 2 of Corus, and the main
move also in Shredder's  and Pro Deo's opening book, is going to get into heavy
weather! I say that because the computerprograms, after deep analysis (+3 hours)
just want to place the Bishop back on e7 one move later, playing 13..Be7 instead
of 13..Na5. This seemed a bit illogical to me, simply a waste of tempo and still
that was the best move; so I think alternatives for 12..Bf8, at least for
computers but also humans may have better prospects. But I still have to put
that position into the computer to see which move they think best one ply
earlier. Many moves have already been played there.

 To be continued..
