No, Rybka showed a white advantage during most of the game. Winning a pawn reaching a dead drawn rook ending was apparently the best she could squeeze from the position.
Can you please share what was the eval around move 30? Any decent human player without engine assistance can guess it's a total draw at that position. I'm curious if Rybka realized that too by that move?
> I would have loved to seen this game boardcasted!
Well, it was actually 'broadcasted', because Critter was playing all its games through the Variant ICS, on which it was logged on as a bot. We just logged in from the tournament room to that same ICS to challenge the bot. So anyone that would have logged on to the ICS would have been able to follow the game live.
It was not very interesting, though, as we decided to switch off Critter's PV kibitzing. We had connection problems during the first two games of the tourney, Critter losing the connection with the ICS several times. After we switched off the PV kibitzing this did not happen again. This might have been pure coincidence, but we did not feel like using the tourney to find that out.
But because of the sub-standard functionality I did not announce the game anywhere. Sorry about that.
I phoned Hans around move 20 and at that point the score was something like +0.43.
as i said,im sure that if rybka ran in equal hardware,critter will beat her
> as i said,im sure that if rybka ran in equal hardware,critter will beat her
I don't think so. If Rybka had been playing say on an overclocked quad Intel Sandybridge, I think the tournament result would have been the same.
that is why they played with the cluster,to asure 100 % wins against the weaker engines,and even if rybka draw against critter or other top engine,that 100 % wins against the weakers makes rybka winner of the tournament,because the other top engines will surely make some draws against the weakers
I assume you are saying that the Rybka version that played in this tournament on 100 threads, would have the same results if it had played on 4 threads.
> I assume you are saying that the Rybka version that played in this tournament on 100 threads, would have the same results if it had played on 4 threads.
Yes. Apart from Critter, the field was not that strong
Ok but I was saying that if Rybka was willing to give up its cores and enter with 4 cores its chances of a draw was probable as was Critter, thus diff results.
a good form to asure the win is play with a too much better hardware than your opponents;for my point of view,that only shows that you not truly trust in your engine 100 %,and you only want to asure the win by other forms...legal?yes of course.honest with yourself?of course,not...if you need suplement your engine with a 100 core cluster,is that you internally know that your engine needs that ''extra help'' to win against other engines running on a too much weaker hardware and you with that ''extra help'' only want to asure what your engine cant obtain alone
>that never at past (just 3 years ago) no one person can imagine that an engine can draw a game against rybka
As usual you know nothing but make a lot of noise. To find out I'm right you might follow this link: http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=18957;pg=1. But probably you'll find one more lame excuse for your ignorance.
my first question that i asked you remain not asnwered:
do you think that rybka fake her kn/s calculation,and why?
maybe im an ignorant,in fact,if a smart guys says that,im sure an ignorant,but im not a bad-mannered person like you
>do you think that rybka fake her kn/s calculation,and why?
I've answered this alrerady, but it looks like you forgot my answer: http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?pid=402442
>im not a bad-mannered person like you

I'll put you on my ignore list - I hope Uly will check your posts in the future.

Barnard has some preconceived ideas about some issues, so I'm no longer going to answer his questions.
so thanks for adding me to your ignore list
You think just because the cluster draws one game it has been surpassed?
> This isn't right. It drew ONE game. Even if the cluster is 300 elo stronger the odd draw is to be expected.
Exactly.
> You think just because the cluster draws one game it has been surpassed?
No mention of that fact that Critter had 3 draws in the tournament....
if one player is 300 elo points stronger than other,the lower player expect make some draws against the strong player
i just point that if an engine plays in a lets say an Intel 32 core machine (like Houdini is able to play),cluster wont be more than about 80-100 elo stronger,not more,and that with the 296 cores
and if Houdini 3 is released and is 40 elo points stronger than Houdini 2,cluster wont be more than 40-60 elo points than the Intel 32 core computer running Houdini 3
and at least for me,that means that Houdini averpassed and a lot rybka,because running on a weaker coputer,is near the 'power' of the cluster
and the lists like ipon,ccrl,etc,shows that im right,Houdini overpassed rybka in near 60-70 points,Houdini 3 will be more than 100 elo points stronger than Rybka
so in general terms,i think that if i can have similar (not equal,but similar) strength in a 32 core machine than in a 296 core machine,the cluster isnt giving the power for that it was designed because the engined was clearly overpassed
