The epic report I promised is online now: http://rybkachess.com/index.php?auswahl=Pamplona

(EDIT: I need to upload some pictures again. There is some strange problem with the server (creating 0 bytes files), I hope it works soon)

>This clustering project would probably never have been started without Lukas, and it certainly wouldn't have come as far along as it has.


I´m sure, Vas likes it most! Maybe Lukas is the second, but I´m close behind him. Cluster is the future! :-)

>... Harvey and I said goodbye to Richard and Johan. We had booked for one more day in case of a playoff.


He Rybka team, you are all wimps! :-) If you have played with R4 beta sp I can understand it a liitle bit. But so; shaking the head!

PS: He Harvey, there wasn´t ever a playoff for fifth place! :-)

:) Maybe the chance for a playoff was higher than one might think.

Btw., I'm feeling quite ill at the moment. I tried to finish everything yesterday since Hans seemed to have invested some time to get everything online quickly. I had all the material but had to do a lot of formatting and copy&paste work. Selecting pictures, writing some additional stuff and the intro, putting everything together... it took me more than 5 hours and then I had problems with uploading. I started at about 14 o'clock yesterday and the report was online at 4 o'clock today. Had to take some breaks since I had slight headaches. Fortunately I have enough hankies at home, my nose is quite red. I'm drinking tea at the moment and hope it gets better soon.
Maybe it's swine flu :)

Hope it's not.  Get well soon!  :smile:

Nice report BTW - now get yourself better!

Swine flu is helpless against the badasses on the Rybka team. :)

Vas, 

In you report, you told us that the Cluster had won by +37=25-2 against a Nehalem Quad (i7-920), and I forgot to ask you, about the time control of this match. Which was exactly the time control? And, there are some way to get this match? Will Lukas be willing to provide those games?

By the way, sincere congratulations to you and to all in your team again by this new title!

Regards,
Gaмßito.

Time control was 3min +1sec, the quad was only running at stock speed. The GUI was on the cluster master, so the quad also suffered a little bit from lag caused by transfer of moves. Opening book was cut to IIRC 8 or 10 moves. I don't really want to provide these games - I don't think they are so very special. And I'd have to dig them out.

Regards,
Lukas
Parent - - By Gaмßito (****) [cr] Date 2009-05-23 00:13
Aha, thanks Lukas; I thought that perhaps you had used a slower time control for this match.

It's interesting that the quad have been able to win 2 games against the amazing Cluster. I think with a slower time control, it will be even much more difficult for a quad to win a single game.

Best Regards,
Gaмßito.

Statistics are a funny thing, aren't they?

I am sure that if Rybka were a human, people would say that she got nervous in the last three rounds of the 8-core tournament.

Maybe it was her bookmaker who got nervous. ;-)
Parent - - By Roland Rösler (****) [de] Date 2009-05-23 21:35
People say: There were four serious opponents for Rybka. Three of them (beside Deep Sjeng) were opponents of Rybka in the last three rounds of the 8-core tournament.

I think someone should make a monte carlo search analyzer for opening books as a plugin for Arena and/or Aquarium. It would auto-update a given book by playing 1000s of games in hyperbullet mode from every starting position in the book and adjusting the weights automatically as certain moves appeared to it stronger than others. Why hasn't this been suggested before?
Parent - - By Vasik Rajlich (Silver) [pl] Date 2009-05-27 04:56
Book authors do this in various forms.

I seem to come up with ideas everyone else has come up with :)

The lucas cluster is indeed a monster by today's standards, but how do we compare this to Hydra. I for one would like to see a match between a cluster rybka and hydra.

What version Junior did play in this tournament?
Parent - - By Bouddha (****) [ch] Date 2009-06-04 21:52
a beta version
Parent - - By Roland Rösler (****) [de] Date 2009-06-04 22:25
I´m sure, we see only beta versions in WCCC2009!
Parent - - By kpripper [ua] Date 2009-06-05 05:41
Аnd Rybka also ?
Parent - By Vasik Rajlich (Silver) [pl] Date 2009-06-05 07:14
That was an alpha version. :)
