Today a few things were corrected which will make GetClub play 60%
stronger.

Now you will need a lot more moves to win the game as the defences of
GetClub has been strengthened.

And GetClub will not allow opponents to take control for its king
easily.

Still I am looking for Help Bots game to see if the real improvement
is seen.

Play a few games against Beginner & Easy Levels and see if you can win
easily.

Heres a game against Jester which was incomplete as my Connection
Broke and I have to levet the game in between.

Still both Jester & GetCluub were having equal pieces till 27th move.

Game Played between sanjay11 and beginner at GetClub.com

Do you see any mistake in any of the above moves?


Now, Beginner will play as a 2200+ player.

Beginner: 2200+
Easy: 2300+
Normal: 2400+

It is Level "a typo mistake".

True Jester says it do not need open connection.

There are a few Ads on the Jester page. And when my connection drop
That Ad called "http://www.quickbrowsersearch.com/search.cgi"

And the Page where Jester was playing disappeared with a search page.

And when I pressed Back Button I found that game already Lost.

Yes, I have no clue about it. I am just 1100 player and for me 1800+,
2200+, 2400+ 2600+ All are same.

I am sure atleast that Beginner is 1800+ as many other programs which
are 1800+ get beaten by GetClub.

With Every improvement I think that rating will increase but players
on this group never accepts a rating of 2200+

I am waiting for the day when GetClub's Beginner Level plays as good
as 2200+

Looks like this game was played before the improvement. And it was
Beginner Level. Try playing against Easy Level.

Easy Level will play very strong game.

How many seconds "Glaurung 2.1" thinks per move?

And which computer GetClub has Do you give stronger computer to
GetClub?

Whats the hardware configuration for both Players?

Yesterday 4/5 games played by GetClub were won by GetClub only one
game you played against Glaurung 2.1 was lost by GetClub.

No. I started that game after your post where you wrote "Today a few
things were corrected". Note the use of the word "were", indicating
that the corrections had already taken place.

> And it was Beginner Level. Try playing against Easy Level.
>

Why? I thought the only difference between the levels was that they
use different amount of thinking time. The getclub program has bigger
problems to worry about than thinking time, see below.

> How many seconds "Glaurung 2.1" thinks per move?
>

Wrong questions. If you want to make getclub stronger you need to find
the answers to different questions, such as:

* Why could the program not see a mate in three in the end even though
the search depth indicated 14?

* Why did it think the position after the first few moves in this game
was about +1.5 for getclub?

* In the current game against Ivan, why did it think it was +2 while
other engines agreed that getclub is -2 or worse?

I think it would be a good idea to make the getclub program able to
display its principal variation (PV), ie the best line of play from a
position as determined by the search algorithm. Looking at the PV for
the positions corresponding to my questions above should make it
possible to figure out what getclub is doing wrong in those
positions.

Note! The PV should only be displayed in debug mode. Otherwise it
could give too much help to human players during the games.

> Yesterday 4/5 games played by GetClub were won by GetClub only one

Yes, getclub can win against careless and/or weak human players, but
that doesn't mean its rating is 2200+.

I think it's "leave". But maybe he's a gamer and levels a lot.

Sorry, I can't work out what `levet' is a typo for. But, anyway,
Jester explicitly says that you don't need to keep any connection open
once you've started playing. Getclub resumes the game where you left
off if you reconnect. So why is it a problem that you lost your
connection?

> Now, Beginner will play as a 2200+ player.

No it isn't. Really, Sanny, you have absolutely no clue what that
statement even means. It's just a number that sounds good to you.

Is the maneuver "Nh3 Bd2 Na4 Bc1 Nc3" in the game below part of this
new defence system?
