Asunto: My Mistake.
In my earlier message about Mr. Trice's game in which he had a mating combination using sacrifices of both his Archbishop and Chancellor to obtain mate;his opponant was Mark Bittle,not Ed Bittle. It is a remarkable game and was a pleasure to watch unfold;I only wish that I still had a copy of its moves to play over and enjoy once more.

There is a difference between Server-based (e.g. brainking) and correspondence (e.g. ICCF) chess. If I play with someone under ICCF rules why can't I post/fax/email him 1.e5?
On brainking, server doesn't let me.
There is no mention of that on ICCF rules. NO , there is , it refers me to FIDE rules. FIDE rules explicitly mention how to move a pawn.
What about using a chess engine? why the rule 4.3 is valid but 12.2 isn't?
I don't say there is a way to solve that problem. I just want to say if I use a chess engine in ICCF games , I'm a Cheater, acting against their principle philosophy.

Ok schachdmt, that was my last post about this :)
I left IECG.org because I don't like this kind of chess. And no way to solve it, but they are CHEATERS.

Ed also played a game in the early days of gothic chess in which he sacrificed both his Archbishop and Chancellor and still managed to checkmate his opponant(not sure;but I believe the opponant was Ed Bittle;maybe Mr. Trice can furnish more acurate information on this.) I think this game was played in 2000.

My answer as to why I play turn based and not live is that I do not own a computer and must use The public libraries computer. The only allow us 30-60 minutes on it;Monday-Saturaday.

Asunto: Re: Re:
It is very simple : If there is nothing mentioned,there is nothing forbidden.
And I think using helps correlates with the sense of correspondence chess. The using of engines is one of these helps (beside books,common analyzing in the chessclub and databases).The last decision has always the player himself,he must decide what is a good or a bad advice.Surely he can describe only the moves from a book or a chessengine.But I think most players analyze with these helps and to win against a strong correspondence chess player you need more..
Btw,has it sense to forbid someting,what you cannot control and to make the most players to cheaters? You cannot look in their living room.

So they should mention it separately in their rules that what is cheating what is not.
Now anybody who doesn't find it in their rules should search in FIDE rules!
I see it against their principle philosophy (Amici Sumus ) , if I play with someone who I think dosen't use a chess engine but he does.
Unfortuanetly I don't know German :(
I can't find a rule about that on brainking also.

Fariborz,such an important fact would be mentioned separately!.We have had this discussion often at our German serverchesspage (www.remoteschach.de),where some ICCF-functionaries are present often.
The German correspondence chess federation (member of ICCF)has also explained it on his webpage http://www.bdf-fernschachbund.de/

The ICCF rules refer us to FIDE rules. It just defines time controle, move transmission,...
So the EE101-12.2 rule of FIDE is as valid as the rule of how knight moves.

12.2 During play the players are forbidden to make use of any notes, sources of information, advice, ...

Also a tournament director's job is to decide about lying and CHEATING. If any help is OK so what is cheating?

You can use the freeware MAX .(Misc/dowloads)
But unfortunately the PGN ist not compatible with the BK-PGN:

Max-PGN

1. h2-h4 e7-e5 2. i2-i3 d7-d6 3. Bh1-i2 Ni8-h6 4. Bi2xc8 Qd8xc8
5. Ag1-h3 f7-f5 6. Ce1-f3 Ag8-e6 7. e2-e4 f5-f4 8. Ah3xe6 Ce8xe6

A PGN-viewer for BK 8x10 games would be great!

Asunto: gothic chess database; web view interface
at the moment i can play gothic chess only with a "virtual" board - and i will soon order a board and figures from ed. a gothic chess program is less interesting for me - more interesting would be a database (such as chessbase - maybe gothicchessbase). Does everyone know one? Or is there no database out?
Interesting would be a PGNviewer for gothic chess so thatgames gan be comfortable replayed with comments on the web. Is there anything? If not it would be a nice project for me when i have time for that.

Internetchess can be differentiated in "livechess" and "turnbased chess".

In "livechess" you play with your opponent one game only, both players must be online,there are no breaks,mostly short time limits (5 ,15,60 minutes,two hours for the whole game): both players play "synchron"!
It is the same as in OTB games:Helps and aids are forbidden. At livechessservers like "playchess.com" (the Fritzserver) players will disqualified automatically if they use software.Every day if you play there you can see such messages in the display.There can control it!

But in "turnbased chess" you play many games,both players must not be online at the same time,there are breaks of sometimes several days,the time limits are in days and not in minutes or in hours : the players play "asynchron".
That means we have here a kind of correspondence (server)chess (beside cards,fax,email) and in correspondence chess a l l kind of helps and aids are allowed.All strong correspondence chess players worldwide use programs to analyze their games.Look at the homepage of the ICCF http://www.iccf.com/
Do you find there any prohibitions? (because prohibitions make only sense if you have possibilities of a control)
The chances are now equal again,the question is only : how good can a player work with these helps?

I should add a horrible mistake i have made here.

Yes, it is true that i can crush all available Gothic Chess programs at correspondence Gothic Chess so i would not care if any of my opponents uses one, but i forgot the case that one is using a program to analyse his games and not play the moves the bot is saying.
So i guess i should also care if someone uses a program for playing Gothic Chess, since the computer combined with the human brain, creates something that i can't beat it easily. And it is unfair too......

Asunto: Re: Chessmaster
Well if we define "cheating" as:

someone is cheating in a game, if and only if he uses anything else except from his brain and his knowledge to play the game,

then anyone who uses a program is cheating.

With another definition it is not. By the way why you don't think it is not cheating? What is your definition of cheating?

But i would definitely call it cheating if the opponent doesn't know it and the other uses the help of a program to play Chess-Variant games.

Personally i don't care if my opponent uses a program to play Gothic Chess, since i can crush all available Gothic Chess program at correspondence Gothic Chess. But with Chess is different. Now that Chess programs started to prevail over humans at this area too(correspondence Chess), i find it unfair, if my opponent used a program without me, knowing that.

<>Caissus Ed plays a very aggressive game that is much better than Vortex.<>

Undoubted! Even so I am sure he uses his own program to analyze his games and this is surely one of the reasons for it.
And to make it really clear: I don`t think this is cheating - in turn-based chess!

<>Btw,tedbarber,do you really think that Edtrice doesn`t use the "Vortex" at analyzing his own games?

Caissus Ed plays a very aggressive game that is much better than Vortex.

Look at this position.
chancellor sacrifice

Ed plays 8. Cxf7+ next, sacrificing his Chancellor. No matter how long
Vortex thinks, it will never play this move.

Even better example: knight sacrifice

Ed threw away his knight here with 9. Ng5+ to destroy the position.
No program right now would ever make such moves!!!!!!

Ed is a strong programmer and a strong player which gives him a great advantage when it comes to playing against programs. He beat Deep Thought,
the strong chess program, and he beat a World Champion Checker program too.

So what programs did he use to beat the world's best programs?
His brain i guess!

So i don't think he has any need for using a program.......

Asunto: Re:
In answer to what difficulties I have with Bird Chess,as opposed to Gothic Chess;I do not play any other Chess Variation except an occassional game of either Chinese Chess or Janus Chess. Why on earth would I want to play an extremely unbalanced game where White has such an unfair advantage in The Opening that he can take away all reasonable responses but one to Black;as well as making it very difficult for Black to have a decent chance to win. This is too too big an advantage for White. So,I'll stick to almost exclusively playing Gothic Chess. By the way,I also hate traditional Chess because Computers not only made it too easy to cheat;but greatly contributed to over analyzing it. I dispise Chess Computers and people who use them to cheat their opponants by getting their moves from them. In a chess game,or any other game for that matter,it is cheating to use an outside source other than ones own brain to get your moves while the game is in progress;and no honest person would do so. Unfortunately,many persons do cheat their opponants by using computers or other players help to defeat an opponant. I would never do this since it is not only dishonest;but flat out cheating. There is absolutely no satisfaction in winning a game I do not win by my skill alone;so Win,Lose,or Draw when someone faces me they are absolutely assured I will never stoop soooo low as to use an outside source to cheat them. My result depends entirely on my skill alone and nothing else. Honor means more than winning to me.

I think,it is a very playable move.Look at my long game against slate, (Game id 286338).
1.f4 is comparable with the "open games" in regular chess (with 1.e4), a good alternative to 1.d4

1. Noviembre 2004, 16:45:55

Is 1. f4 ; a bad idea in Gothic? I usually win when my opponant plays this.

I guess there is one mod who is 'head moderator'. I don't really know, but you'll notice that when there is more than one mod on a DB, the first one is always listed in larger text. Walter mentioned that, after being mod along with bwildman & me for several weeks, that he could boot mods. I never had that ability, so I can only conclude that there is a little difference from the powers of the mod listed first and the rest.

I still don't know WHY I was booted. I never did anything wrong as moderator (unlike him). I have asked this question before both publicaly and privately with no response. I guess Walter has chosen not to speak to me any longer.

well, i've been trying to talk about it, but no one, including you, Chesscarpenter, ever replies. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Also, about Walter, first you said he talked too much, now not enough? I guess nothing can make your faction happy.
Lastly, people who don't play Goth have every right to say whatever they want about it. I've never been to war, but what I have to say about it is meaningful. Likewise with Goth.

Goth is still popular on this site, but I know of at least 5 people who refuse to play another game of it in protest of what they interpret as Ed's heavyhandedness. That's their choice, but surely you can see playing and analysis is more important than splintering the "community"? The gauntlet is thrown, does anyone have anything to say about that game below or am I going to have to form my own fellowship to talk about it?

Ed made Gothic Chess Steamrollers so people like myself who love to play Gothic Chess can do so without all of the "BS" that happens at this DB!
We need a space like this where we can talk about what matters without a moderator who antogonizes then disappears and also the people who never play and think that what they say means something!
It's a shame that this DB will suffer because of inactivity or lack of topic but at least we have our Fellowships.
Walter wanted to know why I hardly post here and I told him that I never had a problem posting in Fellowship DB's. If anyone wants to join the Gothic Chess SteamRollers and are someone who is serious about there play, ask Ed for an invite.
