Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
<>At this time, the program was doing about 700 million nodes per second, still very fast.
That was a true bean counter:-)
Although i think you are wrong. If i remember correctly the number was 700.000 nodes per second and not 700 millions.
Note that the latest version Deeper Blue that beat Kasparov, was having 200.000.000 nodes per second.
>You can see my moves were a tad tactically complex, the thing that drives a program crazy >(having multiple hanging pieces and offering more) so it finally succummed to the momentum of the attack.
All these are not enough to trick the todays Chess-engines on a fast hardware. Sometimes there are, but as i've said very seldom........
