Subject: Chess games very interesting at GetClub
|
Earlier the games at GetClub used to be very one sided. But now I find
It takes a lots of efforts and new tricks to win games at GetClub.
I was looking at last 10 games played at GetClub and found that there
was huge struggle to win the games.
Come at GetClub and enjoy playing Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html
All recent games are quite interesting. I saw if the player is weak
how GetClub dismantels the opponents pieces.
And only very strong players or people using Chess Programs are able
to win the Beginner Level.
Last 2 weeks there was no improvement done as no new idea came to my
mind. Still GetClub is playing very good moves.
Beginner: 2200+
Easy: 2300+
Normal: 2400+

I played another game, with me Black this time:
http://www.getclub.com/playgame.php?id=3DDM25987&game=3DChess
I'm afraid the program simply lacks a sufficient sense of danger. It
loses to techniques that worked against computers in the early 80s -
keep the position closed, slowly build up an attack, open up a line or
two and check, check, mate!

What about that game that was for a time
being played right here in rgc? I think one
of the two programs had a won game, but
in the endgame, showed itself to be quite
clueless and the two "operators", as it were,
negotiated the result between themselves
(as if that could tell us something).

Computer analysis shows that this move

Blithering idiocy! I had calculated some

as my own e-pawn blocks the Queen. What

This game contained a lot of mistakes,
by both sides. For some reason, I feel
that I play much better as White-- there
is something magical about the ease of
White's development, or the way Black
struggles to (unsoundly) counterattack.
Lately, I've been taking the Black
pieces and facing off against the highest
level that does not simply "lock up" when
losing, and many of the games are long
and/or hard-fought. But some of the long
ones are easy wins for me, just tedious
and long-winded-- not unlike a typical
exchange with Dr. IMnes.

Yes in this game you win easily as the Beginner Level King was
attacked by a combination of 2 Rooks and Queen forcing a mate.
Play a new game and see how it plays. As the game was improved a bit

This sounds as if Sanny has fixed the most
rudimentary problems he has been having
with simple tactics, and indeed, in trying to
recall /exactly how/ I took two pawns away
in my infamous Alekhine's Defense game, I
came up blank. I must have wrested them
in some unclear fashion, rather than just
check-and-grab, as so often happened
earlier.
I think it is perfectly obvious to everyone
except Sanny that his claims are ludicrous,
yet there are those who are so annoyed
with his behavior that they swing the other
direction, slanting their ratings estimates
so as to "penalize" his lunacy. A few of
these critics had it that the GetClub
engine was a sub-1000 player, or a sub-1500
in any case.
My own estimate is that while the strength
varies wildly over time and between levels
and between "improvements", it generally
falls somewhere between about 1400 for the
lowest level and perhaps has touched 2100
or so for the highest one. Most of the latest
"improvements" have served to weaken it
back toward the middle of this span, and I
cannot say how long it has been since the
former peak strength was reached, but it
was probably several months ago.
One solution to this ratings divide could
be for the program's own ratings to be
"floated" once again, not fixed or rigged in
any way. Add to this a system by which
new players were assigned a starting
rating equivalent to their real-world one,
and we might begin to see some meaning
in the results. The fly in the ointment is
that while real-world ratings may be fairly
reliable, there is nothing to keep someone
from "cheating" during online play-- either
firing up their own chess engine or else
accepting the help of others. Likewise,
there are many, many players who have
no real-world chess ratings, and the site
could be swamped by them.
The final issue is that at GetClub, there
is no time restriction on the human player
whatsoever, and this is in sharp contrast
to ratings systems where each player is
given precisely the same amount of
thinking time for a game. Thus, while
various other factors serve to favor the
computer, the lack of any limitation on
thinking time serves to strongly affect the
results of those who choose to take
advantage thereof. As an old friend of
mine once put it: "oh, what a world!"

No offense, but there is no way that the Beginner level of this
program is anywhere near 2200. Based on the game I played against it a
few days ago (http://www.getclub.com/playgame.php?
id=DM25780&game=Chess) I would say that it played at 1600 at most, but
perhaps without the very simply blunders that someone of that rating
might be expected to play.

I think that the time for politely telling Sanny that he has
absolutely no fucking clue what a rating of 2200 even means is far in
the past. He's been claiming that beginner is 2200 for months. Again
and again, he posts that his program is now `30% better' or `two times
improved' yet this figure of 2200 never changes.
If he believes that his program is of 2200 strength, he is delusional.
(I'd suggest misinformed as an alternative but he's been corrected on
this so many times.) If he believes that his program's strength is
constant and also continually increasing, he has no capability for
rational thought. If he does not believe these things that he parrots
so often, he is a liar. Take your pick.

Hi Sanny,
Really, Beginner level is just that, far short of 2200+!
I had problems with the user interface - sometimes it seemed that I must use
the left mouse button to pick up the pieces (I have buttons reversed on my
mouse for left-handed usage) at other times it could be either button. Is
this a design feature, or is it just very precise where you have to click
and it really doesn't matter which button you use?
Regards,
Arfur
