Go up one level in this thread
Thanks for that post. I thought I may be biased, but shows up others had pretty
much same feelings :)
Few more thing which strike me is: why Ed, Christophe, also Chessbase family of
programs are so reluctant to put their programs automatic on icc and test them
in 'real chess club' environment (with exception of Junior ('ban') which is
still manual though... maybe it crashes too much to go automatic as ICC gossip
say ). It's some 4 hours of interfacing engine to winboard...
As of Tiger being so much better then Crafty:
Information about tol4511(C) (Last disconnected Mon Nov 01 1999 19:23):
rating [need] win loss draw total best
Blitz 2222 91 98 6 195 2293 (31-Aug-1999)
Standard 2388 281 685 100 1066 2471 (11-Sep-1999)
1: rebel10c or system tiger
2: PIII 450
If you say icc rating is meaningless - stop those meaningless whining about
'Ban over Crafty'. If you say it means something - then consider that most
(all?) ICC Chess Master accounts have blitz rating in the range of 2700+; also
check ICC standard 'best C' list to get idea what is standard rating of other
commercial programs run manual on ICC (and crafties)... While all this data
compromises of hundreds of games it's way more comprehensive to me then some 10
game match - yet 10 game match brings out huge thread here...
If you find that post biased... that is only to balance things out a bit :)
