The current regime doesn't like retrograding :) 10. března 2006, 19:58:29 O čem je toďten plk: Re: JinkyOng: I'd visit the ranking pages for FRC if I were you! 1. března 2006, 14:20:53 O čem je toďten plk: Re: yipee! Pedro Martínez: Exactly ;) 28. unora 2006, 22:29:40 O čem je toďten plk: Re: yipee! ColonelCrockett: Nobody can really forget GC but with MBC around, who needs GC anyway? ;) 28. unora 2006, 12:20:39 O čem je toďten plk: Re: yipee! ColonelCrockett: Not hard to forget about GC when you have MBC ;) 20. unora 2006, 05:33:50 O čem je toďten plk: Re: HalfPawn: Now why would anyone want to know that? Since the answer is easily "googleable", isn't Embassy well-supported and playable here as it is? 30. ledna 2006, 21:06:16 O čem je toďten plk: Re: tedbarber:
- What is the exact flaw in the placement of major pieces in Embassy Chess? - Capablanca Chess is certainly inferior to CRC, as it leaves unprotetcted pieces at startup. However, CRC cannot be generally compared with Capablanca or other 8x10 chess variants, as it was created for a very specific reason: avoiding drawn games through randomization of the initial position (Reinhard, please correct me if I'm wrong) 30. prosenca 2005, 12:08:33 O čem je toďten plk: Re: SMIRF left the GC championship Fencer: Please let us know if you intend to publish any of it or a summary at least :) 21. prosenca 2005, 07:47:31 O čem je toďten plk: Re: The 2005 Gothic Chess Computer World Championship ChessCarpenter: ... and they defeated each other as BLACK! Let's see if this trend goes on. 10. lestopado 2005, 06:18:16 O čem je toďten plk: Re: computers + openings SMIRF Engine: Won't it be eventually implemented, after a few thousand games, and only for reasons of avoiding clearly "losing" opening moves? Unless ALL opening moves have no clear losing potential whatsoever :) 9. lestopado 2005, 16:22:28 O čem je toďten plk: Re: computers + openings SMIRF Engine: Not even "preferred" opening moves for the first couple of plies? ;) 9. lestopado 2005, 06:21:18 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Walter Montego: In Greece we use periods as thousand separators and commas as decimal points. Is it that important? :) 8. lestopado 2005, 22:58:12 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Pythagoras: Maybe the reason is the "complete information" attribute that Backgammon carries? (as discussed in the Backgammon board) 8. lestopado 2005, 18:26:44 O čem je toďten plk: Re: From relatively unknown to known Walter Montego: Therefore:
- Human chess should be "restricted" to FRC/CRC - Computer chess should be "restricted" to Chess/Gothic Chess :) Wouldn't that be sweet?... 8. lestopado 2005, 18:02:18 O čem je toďten plk: Re: From relatively unknown to known ColonelCrockett: Sorry for butting in, but if Pythagoras (formerly known as ChessMaster1000) who has defeated Gothic Vortex and other engines in the recent past, says that it will happen, I'm pretty sure he wasn't shooting his own foot ;) But myself, I keep my reservations about this - so it's up to Pythagoras to answer you obviously! 8. lestopado 2005, 16:30:14 O čem je toďten plk: Re: From relatively unknown to known Walter Montego: Exactly my line of thought as well. I did think that Reinhard was being a bit too "mathematical" with his assertions, without applying some further factors in the process :) 8. lestopado 2005, 12:27:27 O čem je toďten plk: Re: From relatively unknown to known SMIRF Engine: But what if the computing power available today and later will bring the same faults to them that standard chess now has? Or is that a very distant future? :) 6. lestopado 2005, 15:04:37 O čem je toďten plk: Re: WhisperQ: The link is slightly screwed :) 6. lestopado 2005, 08:23:20 O čem je toďten plk: Re: redsales: Right on.
Anyway, the only way we can get as close as possible to any comparison between them is to make them play each other according to software like ChessMasterSomeThousand, where, I think, chess personalities are programmed... I know, it's not anything conclusive, but I'd like to know what happens :) 11. řína 2005, 12:12:40 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Protected Pawns in CRC SMIRF Engine: Bug reporters, start your keyboards! 2. řína 2005, 01:26:02 O čem je toďten plk: Re: MBC SMIRF Engine: Sorry to butt in, but if your program is even half well-structured, no new code introduction should affect any core functionality... or your core needs redesigning! :) 22. záři 2005, 08:53:15 O čem je toďten plk: Re: CardinalFlight: That would be LAW of great numbers, sorry :) 22. záři 2005, 08:52:50 O čem je toďten plk: Re: CardinalFlight: I would say the percentage of DRAWS is unusually low :) But give it a few more millions of games and the percentages will be closer - hail to the low of great numbers! 14. záři 2005, 22:28:38 O čem je toďten plk: Re: pawnme: Or, even more directly, at:
www.GothicChessLive.com 14. záři 2005, 21:42:21 O čem je toďten plk: Re: naughtypawn: After successful lobbying (not really!) it does no longer refer to a movie title but to a Cuban chess player (except for the rest of it, which, I suppose, was the trade-off, thanks to Grim Reaper!) 14. záři 2005, 21:28:16 O čem je toďten plk: Re: naughtypawn: Well, the Chess Variants (10x8) headline is now real-world-compliant :) 14. záři 2005, 09:18:09 OK, if you gonna mess up Capablanca, whah not turn da others into Janes Chess and Gotham Chess as well?
Let's get serious, it's Capablanca Random Chess, there's no S in Capablanca. 14. záři 2005, 00:39:02 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Grim Reaper: And actually, you invented Gotham Chess, right? :) 13. záři 2005, 22:08:52 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Moderators...... Pythagoras: Well spotted! 2. záři 2005, 13:01:21 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Grim Reaper: Yes, maybe in CowPlay you were right, but you see, in both cases, the owner of the site removed it because you somehow leveraged them to do so, not because they didn't like Gothic Chess or something... Whatever the reason in each case, you don't make friends like that... Surely there could be a compromise somehow... 2. záři 2005, 06:03:25 O čem je toďten plk: Re: tedbarber: The answer is no. There was another site with this setup that was proud to introduce Gothic Chess to its members, but [coughs and stares at Ed] it was also removed by the site owner... 1. záři 2005, 22:06:11 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Grim Reaper: It doesn't. But under the hood, BrainKing uses Java to generate all these nice pages we love so much :) 1. záři 2005, 21:43:31 O čem je toďten plk: Implementation date for CRC Fencer: BTW can "soon" become a bit less vague, please? Isn't it like a patch of the BrainKing Java code for FRC on the Gothic Chess setup?
Yes, I know it's never THAT easy, but... 31. srpenca 2005, 13:29:10 O čem je toďten plk: Last day for new Gothic Chess games! So, please, no 30 days/move silliness, OK? :) 26. srpenca 2005, 23:52:10 O čem je toďten plk: Gothic Chess removal Quite brave of Fencer to go that far. At least Ed's live site might get more traffic this way :) 18. srpenca 2005, 22:43:37 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Grim Reaper: Come on, Ed, you calculated that mate in two-hundred-something moves, this one should be easy-peasy :) 18. srpenca 2005, 16:35:07 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Grim Reaper: Mate in... ? 17. června 2005, 11:59:12 O čem je toďten plk: Re: andreas: I heard most of it this morning before heading off to work. It was mostly e-mail questions by the chess.fm public, who were obviously curious about Gothic Chess :) In the end, the presenter put it appropriately: "We can only have this kind of topic once a year, as most of our listeners are interested in standard chess." (or something along those lines)
The listeners seemed to ask plenty of varying questions, mentioning "why not 10x10?" or "what about making it like FRC?" or "what differences to Bird/Capablanca?" etc. Ed was guite thorough, even quoting specific endgame URLs from his website :) 11. června 2005, 14:42:00 O čem je toďten plk: Re: fungame: "Ideal for pawns who don't like to spend years waiting for tournament to finish or for players who like to play fast."
You must be kidding or you don't remember when you were a pawn - if you ever were. Even when your tournament games as a pawn are over, you still have to wait until EVERYBODY ELSE has finished, NOT until YOU have finished and have either: - won your group and, therefore, are happy to wait next round, or - been eliminated and SHOULD be allowed to go and sign up to your next tournament, since you have no more contribution or influence on the present tournament. I mean REALLY!!! 13. května 2005, 11:55:07 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Online Game Smirf / Gothic Inventor Sumerian: "Is your Gothic Vortex even still subject for improvements (beside of providing more looking-up information)?."
Even I can tell, since Chessmaster1000 could beat Gothic Vortex very nicely, that the latter should still have some room for improvement ;) 5. března 2005, 02:31:03 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Tedbarber tedbarber: So BrainKing should be JUST like all other chess sites?!? tsk tsk tsk... 12. unora 2005, 11:05:03 O čem je toďten plk: Re: BuilderQ: no, and it looks like a stupid discussion board issue was to blame... 8. prosenca 2004, 16:20:31 I suppose any and all such questions would be easily answerable by Mr Trice, if he decided to grace this board with his presence again... 25. řína 2004, 23:37:15 O čem je toďten plk: Pawns have no right to vote As a Pawn, I admit we are not entitled to as many rights as paying members. In any case, maybe Fencer should just make moderating rules such that there is never any dispute as to who can ban who, who can become moderator etc. It's just too loose as it is now...
A good site should have a solid set of rules that everyone WILL follow or not be part of the site. I've written the main policy document for an Internet Relay Chat network in the past and, believe me, there are a LOT of things that need to be taken care of in that environment. In the end, IRC operators (like discussion board moderators here) have an effective tool to police an otherwise unmanageable mess... 14. řína 2004, 12:22:34 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Only after Ed has been officially contacted for licensing ;) 13. řína 2004, 07:17:23 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Not really, there's Chessbase Light, which is free, and then there's the full Chessbase with more capabilities - surely you could do the same, I mean Chessbase's success proves it can be given away for free in a cut-down version... 7. řína 2004, 08:08:42 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Maybe this is a good time, then, to have a preview of the minimum requirements for this next, high-end version? 1. řína 2004, 15:56:47 O čem je toďten plk: Re: computer championship ... now isn't that a much nicer deviation from the board's topic? ;) << < 1 2 > >> |
