A few bugs were corrected and now GetClub will play twice stronger
moves.

Here is a game against Jester. Beginner Level survived till 64 moves
though it was Queen down in the opening.

So Players like Help Bot will find it much harder to win against
GetClub Chess.

Do you see GetClub playing Stronger moves and defending strongly.

Play a game: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html and tell me how good
the streength is of Beginner Level.

Help Bot you won a few games against Normal Level as there was a bug.
Now that bug has been removed So you will not be able to win the
Normal Level again.

Play a game with Easy Level Lets see if you can win that level.

You clearly have a fine grasp of how things
work (or rather, don't work) in our government.

Mr. Greenspan's housing bubble could have
been minimized by, say, trading into an
opposite-colored-Bishops ending, but noooo!
Instead, they keep flipping interest rates
wildly, up and down, up and down-- like a
roller coaster. Now they have Mr. Bernanke
trained to do it, too.

Mr. Clinton pardoned a whole slew of his
criminal supporters at the end of his term,
and I expect no better from you-know-who
(that guy whose best defense, when it is
pointed out that he is even less popular than
Al Capone was, says: yeah, but I'm still six
rating points ahead of Congress!")


> And the work will keep him to busy to work on
> GetClubChess.

This is all part and parcel of president
Bush's ingenious plan to keep unemploy-
ment down to a reasonable number (like
say, 10-20% not counting those who
can't ever seem to get a job). Sanny is
part of the high-tech influx from India.

-------------------------------------------------------

Around two years ago (maybe less), I
started reading about how this was all
going to happen, in some newsletters
penned by Martin Weiss & Co. *They*
didn't seem to believe it though, for they
kept recommending buying stocks in
spite of predictions of a financial system
collapse. For a while, it was like the
story of "the boy who cried wolf!" or even
Chicken Little, but then, finally, it began.

Looking back, I couldda made a mint
just betting that big banks like Citicorp
and Wachovia would crumble. Of
course looking back, I would not have
boarded the Lusitania, or the Titanic or
the USS Indianapolis (boy was that a
bear, as those white-tips are tougher
than Rocky Balboa, 'till you wrestle
'em out of the water with a flying head-
scissors).

We all know what's going to happen
next: inflation and currency-devaluation
to compensate for our reckless over-
spending, laziness and over-indulgences.
That's the bad news. The good news is
that all of us who dreamed of one day
becoming millionaires will now get our
chance; a million bucks won't buy very
much by then, but it's the principle that
counts.

Double pawn penalty reduced So that it do not sacrifices pawn for 2

Nonsense, Sanny is actually going to be appointed tot he USCF EB to

Well, then, I stand corrected. At least,we won't have to worry about
the security of the log files and Apache and he can give Nolan some
direction.

As Mr. Sloan is rather busy right now,
let me save him some trouble by
pointing out the following problems with
your suit:

1. You are filing in the wrong jurisdiction;

2. The state of Idaho has jurisdiction
over *potatoes*, not over chess;

3. The proper authority to handle such
a matter would be either the FIDE, or
perhaps the same authorities who
presided over the Neuremberg trials;

4. As heinous as the crimes may seem,
suing Sanny will likely net you only a few
drachma, and when the courts order him
to fix those bugs, he will of course be no
more able to comply than a zebra that is
"ordered" to change its stripes.

Plus, rumor has it the Bush administration is hiring him to reprogram
Fanny Mae and fix the Federal Reserve, so it's likely he'd get a

Yeah... but the ratings gap is getting pretty
wide, and as a result, I gain very little for a
win against the lower levels (despite the four
hours).

Yes; it is just poor logic.

Consider a position (on a very large chess
board) where Black has 100 pawns, and
gives them all away to "gain half points"
and cause the opponent to "lose half
points"; White now has the 100 pawns, and
the score has not changed one iota. Logic
should tell you that if you think a doubled
pawn is worth a half point, then in this case
White ought to have *gained 50 points*
from all those trades.

I don't know how you handle the math in
your program, but you can't penalize Black
a half-point for a doubled pawn, and count
the liquidation of such a pawn as a half-
point gain, AND penalize White for gaining
a doubled pawn. White should not ever
be penalized for *gaining* material in the
exchange.

That's just plain wrong. When White wins
a pawn that happens to be doubled, his
net gain is less-- but he still *gains*.

I have won countless games in this same

come to a screeching halt? Okay-fine. I

After looking at time taken I find it was Normal Level. I feel in the
Applet you Chose Normal Level instead of Master Level. A few moves
were made in 90 seconds. Master level always take more than 300 sec /
move.

I recommend never play with Master Level as it will take 2-3 days to
complete that game.. Play again with Normal and finish your game in
just 4 hours.

This Opening has been Removed as Black lost half point due to double
pawns.

"f4" was played as Black had double pawns it had a loss of half point.
When White took the f4 pawn Black lost only half point. But Black
gained half point as now White pawns are Doubled.

Is this wrong thing?

As I give a loss of half point for double Pawns. So GetClub gave its
pawn It actually lost only half point but since White also get doubled
pawn It gives a loss of "0 points".

This game was quite easy for you as you got 1 point up in the Opening
itself. Now thisopening has been removed from GetClub.

I just finished a game against the Master
level, and let me tell you, there ain't no
"masters" I know of that play that weak!
(In fact, it now says Normal level, but I did
click on Master level, because there is no
way for me to get anywhere against low-
rated duffers like Normal, Easy, etc.)

Okay, here are the first few moves-- see
if you can spot the problem:

1. d4 f5

2. Bg5 Nf6

This is not considered to be good, as the
doubled pawns will leave White with a
mysterious "positional advantage".

3. Bxf6 exf6

4. e3 f4??

Now, look carefully-- can you see there is
a problem here?

5. exf4 ...and of course 1-0... it's just a
matter of technique from here.

My recommendation? Call Orkin-- the
professional bug exterminators. Then call
their competition, and also the fire
department and the Men in Black. Then
call Ghostbusters and ask for Bill Murray.

Yes that was because today a few bugs were removed. So you found the
improvements. Lets see if Help Bot too sees these improvements in his
new games.

You used to use Micro Max which used to win in just 25 Moves.

Novag Constellation played badly that it took 78 moves to win

How much time Novag Constellation taking for each move?

I don't think Micro Max was winning that fast. In one game it took
about 40 moves until getclub resigned, and in another game the result
was a draw.

However, as other people have tried to tell you repeatedly, the game
length is not necessary an indication how strong the program is. For
example, in one game between glaurung and getclub, getclub made a
simple tactical error at about move 10. The error made glaurung able
to win a piece by trading queens. So that game was basically over by
move 10, although, without the queens on the board, it took like 40
moves until glaurung was able to deliver check mate. (In many other
games glaurung can check mate in 20-30 moves.)

Do you think the bug that made getclub lose a piece at move 10
therefore made getclub stronger? I don't think so.

> Novag Constellation played badly that it took 78 moves to win

Yes, the GetClub program appears better now than it used to be.
However it still lost to a 1650 ranked computer, so I don't think it's
anywhere near 2200 yet.

I also played two games with glaurung, and my impression is that
getclub was making fewer tactical mistakes than it used to make.

> How much time Novag Constellation taking for each move?

I think it is about 7.5 seconds per move, but I have lost the manual
so I don't know exactly.

Yes I saw last 4-5 days the game became too bad and it was playing
worse. Those bugs has been removed, Now it will play as good as its
good days.

Play a quick game with Beginner Level and see how good it is playing.

Last 5 days game went in wrong direction. So those bugs has been
removed. Now it plays much stronger.

Actually whenever a improvement is done a few bugs crept in. They are
found after few players have played the games. Only when a bug appear
we can correct it. They keep hiding and pop up any time. Once they pop
up its easy to correct them.

Yes I think your gameplay too has improved a lot. Despite improvements
you keep winning. This timer it would be a lot hard.

I played another game between my Novag Constellation 3.6MHz and

I am experiencing the opposite effect: new bugs
crawl in each time I compete, and I seem to get
weaker and weaker as time goes by.

Much harder, eh? Where have I heard that
one before... .

A bug has been removed, again? Just how
many of these "bugs" are there, altogether--
four or five million? You need a bug that eats
other bugs-- like say, a preying mantis or a
spider. Make that an army of spiders.


> So you will not be able to win the

That sounds familiar. I think I have heard
this claim at least a hundred times, and
each time more of the mysterious "bugs"
appear, to explain my multitude of wins--
all of which are actually the result of my
brilliant play.

Not long ago, I actually lost a game to
GetClub after struggling to entrap the
program's Queen (and nearly succeeding).
I missed a clever in-between move, and
its deadly follow-up Queen sacrifice. It
seems I might have been able to trap the
Queen if I had paid closer attention to the
details, especially seeing *all* the tactics.
Instead, I got back-rank mated like a
complete patzer.
