Thema: The investigation
Verändert von Grim Reaper (17. Mai 2005, 05:56:23)
Well, someone tipped me off that Bullet might be using a computer program, and they asked me to try and uncover proof of this. It is no easy task to deal with computer programs, and the only way to get at the root of it all is to somehow force the opponent into a situation where he leaves his fingerprints behind.

I would like everyone to take a look at "Exhibit A"

http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=813374&i=42

In this position, please notice, my opponent has just thrown away his king, for no reason. My side is seemingly hard pressed to find the draw (the only way to expose a computer user is to get yourself into a scrape that you can just barely get out of, while demonstrating "inhuman" play leading to the draw from their side) but you can see how to achieve it easy enough.

I need to get 3 checkers along one diagonal (f6-g5-h4) and just trade off a piece to break the secondary bridge (f6-e7, d8xf6, g5xe7, with an easy draw thereafter).

So why did my opponent throw away his strongest resourcce, his freely mobile king, while I am "squirming"?

The answer: software always plays for the first opportunity to enter into a database position that is "known". Throwing away the king then winning back one of my pieces virtually assures this in short order.

Every other "human" on the planet would move the piece on d6, perhaps d6-e5 forcing f2-g3 or the like.

And that concludes the investigation.
