Currently Beginner level at GetClub.com plays moves in 4-8 seconds
while it is easy to beat it.
Play a game: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html
Should I increase the depth of Begineer Level So that it thinks for
30-40 seconds but plays stronger moves?
What do players like a stronger game or a quick game?
I think those who want higher level strong games can login to play
higher levels. While thiose who want to play just Beginner level, No
need to Login.
I want to know what you favour quick game or a Stronger game?
You can play with Easy Level and Normal Level if you are looking for
stronger games. They take about 1-2 minute per move.
If you are very strong then try Master Level.

I have noticed that sometimes my clock is running even
though the program's last move is not yet displayed on
the graphic board (though it is listed in text). In essence,
my clock is running but I am not thinking about the new
position, since I don't now what it is yet.

Last night, I noticed the infinite pop-up window spawning
issue again. I spent as much time closing these annoying
windows as I did thinking about the game.
My suggestion is to remove the annoying pop-up windows,
and replace them with paid advertisements. For instance,
you could have an ad for Chessbase, one for Fritz, one for
the USCF, and even some for non-chess-related stuff.

Sanny, I am currently playing several games at
another site called RedHotPawn, and I noticed
that it takes THREE separate actions to complete
a resignation:
1.click the "resign" button
2. click "yes", I resign
3. reconfirm the resignation
Weak players may find all this a tad annoying, but
I think it resolves any question as to intent.

To me, the advantage lies in the quality of the play,
(as opposed to a poorly played game which I won
despite my own blunders). A well played game can
be seen as a sort of work of art. (The flaw with chess
as art is that ony decent chess players can properly
appreciate it.)

Sanny's program ALWAYS has chances. For one,
it can register a click on the "resigns" button at any
time, even if you unplug your mouse and keyboard!

I like to take it out of book quickly, and find that
it leads to interesting games where the program
emulates a hyperactive, weak human player.

To me, the fact that the program does not accurately
measure elapsed time demonstrates something about
the competence of its programmers. Especially after
advising Sanny of a simple solution to this problem.
I used to wonder whether any programmers could be
THIS incompetent, but no more. : >D

Each recorded game tells how much time the user/computer took for each
move.
Here is a recorded game between easy & softtanks
http://www.getclub.com/playgame.php?id=DM7375&game=Chess
You can see Easy level taking 30-60 seconds per move and many moves
were made in 5-10 seconds only. Beginner Level is quite faster on my
Machine.
I have 3 computers.
On my fast computer Pentium 2.5 GHz it takes 5-10 seconds per move.
On slower computer 1.5 GHz it takes 20-30 seconds / move
On my much slower Laptop it takes 40-50 seconds/ move

Your ratings have been readjusted and that game was cancelled. It
happens when by mistake you press Resign Game button. I think there
should be a confirmation message before it should resign. I will ask
my programmers to correct that so that if the button is pressed it do
not resign immidietely.
I would love to see more games of yours at GetClub.com You are well
ahead of many good players and have good prospects may be you can come
in top 3.

Still false advertising. A program that meets the requirements 99% of

If that were true, then we would not need to
wonder whether or not it helps: the playing strength
would increase *dramatically* overnight. This
weakness in tactics amounts to the single biggest
weakness of the program, and eliminating it will
yield immediate results. If the next time I play at
GetClub it shows no more tactical weakness, I
might just faint.

I'm just giving you a hard time. It seems to me
that you often complain about the program's
strength, but at the same time reveal certain,
shall I say, "difficulties", against it. (One might
expect a GM to complain about its strength, then
note how it only lasted twelve moves before being
mated.)
Obviously, the amount of material ahead is strongly
related to playing style; a GM Tal might be ahead by
a Queen at move fifteen, while a GM Petrosian might
have merely inflicted a fatal positional wound at that
point. Either way, the end result is the same.
My own style varies widely from one game to another.

Ah, but I'm serious. There is no reward for gathering a large material
advantage or winning quickly. The only thing that matters is 1-0. I am
*always* more interested in a small material advantage that offers a
certain win (even if it means grinding out an endgame because the
opponent is too clueless to resign) rather than a huge material
advantage where my opponent still has chances.
Sometimes, against Sanny's folly, I'll give the material advantage back,
just to watch it squirm. Like pulling wings off flies.
If the program can't play ordinary chess, I'll look for an entertaining
game that I can play with it.
Which is, by the way, the only reason I *care* that the program runs at
the advertised speed.

You can see the 1000s recorded games played at GetClub. and see that
in last 50 Games the game speed has considerably increased.
http://www.getclub.com/cc/showgame.php?num=10
Here you will see Beginner making moves in 5-10 seconds while the
Player taking 20-30 seconds per move.
Everything is recorded onsite why should i lie?
You want strong game then try higher levels else if you are a weak
player Beginner is ok to start with.

I can see the game I played last night, in which your program averaged
100 seconds per move from roughly move 30 until it flipped the board in
the air and stalked away (by the way, that's a particularly rude way to
resign).

I don't need to look at your recorded games. I have personal experience
with your program. Beginner level (in my last game) often takes 150
seconds to make a move. 150 is much larger than 10.

I don't know WHY you lie, all I know is that your statements do not
match my experience with your program.
So, tell us...why *do* you lie?
And, given that the question is whether or not you lie, why should we
believe game records that you provide? Are they more, or less, reliable
than the statement that "Beginner takes 5-10 seconds"?

I want a program which obeys the rules. The rules include the time
control. Put in a proper move timing mechanism that forfeits either
player for overstepping the time limits.

You are missing the point, Sanny. Beginner does not make
moves in 5-10 seconds, it takes significantly longer than
what you say. Replaying the games do no good, since you do
not record move times. All I know is what I see when I play.
Also, your client causes my browser to consume too much memory
and eventually crash - that was how your engine 'beat' me one

It was beginner Level I suppose, Try easy & Normal Level they will

Play with Easy Level: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html
Beginner Level is only for new players. If you are good play with

I see no reason to try any level other than Beginner until you
start advertising the speed and capabilities of the Beginner level
correctly. if you are lying about Beginner level, why should I believe

No. Your weakest, fastest level needs to move
quickly, regardless of strength. Strength should be
one of the top priorities of your strongest levels, but
even here there is a limit to what humans can endure!
> What do players like a stronger game or a quick game?
Look, Sanny: since your programmers obviously
can not or will not look up the proper method of
implementing basic tactics, why don;t you do it
for them? Just do a google search on:
"check and capture extensions" and find one of
the many explanations and examples on how this
is implemented in a chess program, then print and
hand it off to them. Assuming they can read, soon
your program would be back up above 1000 on
every level. (I'm not holding my breath.)

When weak players face one another, it is almost
inevitable that the game will last a long time, as
neither has the know-how to finish up efficiently.

Late middlegame and you are up *only* one Rook?

FALSE. It plays at that speed in the beginning, but I'm playing a game
right now and it is taking an average of 100 seconds per move in the
late middlegame.

Well, that's true enough - it's down a rook in a dead lost position.

Only if you advertise "Beginner level: 30-40 seconds per move".
But first, you'll have to speed it up so that it can move that quickly.
right now, it doesn't.
Saying "30-40 seconds" will be LESS of a lie, but it will still be a lie.

I hope you will forgive me if I don't believe you. Nothing else you

Both, duh.
Your program is both unacceptably slow and unacceptably weak. You need
to fix both.
Oh, yeah, and fix the interface problems, too. Spawning constant pop-up
windows? Not cool.
