The GM name is ? It has about I4 letters in his name ..

I was on the Rybka website and the people over there said he is a
anti computer type GM so he would give it a challenge ..
Rybka is still giving him a different pawn in every game ........

Still it is exciting chess ...

Dzindzi. Just cut off the letters you can't handle. ;D

Many people consider themselves to be tricky,
anti-computer types-- until they run into one
that is stronger than they can handle!

I still remember back when computers were so
weak... (audience: "how weak were they?") ..
they were so weak, that even I could beat them!

Okay, maybe he is good against computers;
we shall see. In my experience so far, the best
engines have no trouble improving on the actual
play of human grandmasters against one another.
But then, I generally give the programs lots of
time to think.

Example: I took the "lost position" from the
famous game between GetClub and Ivan,
plugged it in and guess what? A draw! That
is, I assume it would eventually be drawn,
though I have not the patience to see whether
or not the stronger engine could pull off a
magic win, now that it is dead-even in an
ending of R&B vs. R&B (of opposite colors)
with just a few pawns remaining. I gave both
programs lots of time to consider their moves,
but nonetheless, the stronger program saved
the game. (The weaker one is supposed to
be grandmaster strength.)

I am not sure if ivan or getclub will draw or if one will win...We have
to wait and see..

came out...It mite be a off day ?

Never up 2 games to zip. The games are not draw odds...

Draw

Of course GitClub would have been up 5-0 after 4 games.

I am playing over these games and I must say
that GM Dzindzi was not particularly impressive.

Sure, one game had Rybka botch a Rook ending
badly and the human won, but other games look
terrible. In one game, for instance, RD (Roman
Dzindzichashvili) left his King in the center and
got blown off the board by very obvious moves.

What should be considered a strong anti-
computer style would be someone who bores
us to death with moves which put a computer's
tactics-calculating engine to sleep. Someone
who can often steer into Rook endings or dead-
equal type positions where pieces are traded
off and neither side can accomplish anything in
the way of "attacking the King". RD is *not*
even close, so far. Even in the game he won,
he messed up and got his pawns doubled, and
then by sheer luck the computer was eating
his weak pawns and got its panties in a wad
(Rook *in front* of its own passed pawn)!

Give me GM Kramnik: a player who puts even
me to sleep. Give me Tigran Petrosian-- a man
who won the title by lulling his opponents to
take naps in mid-game. Give me the most
boring draw-monger who ever lived. But not
Dzindzi; he is trying too hard to look brilliant.
Rybka will pack his lunch.

Give me Tigran Petrosian

I wonder what it would be like if Petrosian in his prime were alive
today to play these machines. It would have been very interesting.
