Subject: Rykba hangs when loosing.
I played 3-4 games against Rybka with the Hope Easy Level will beat
Rybka. But whenever the position is good for GetClub, I find Rybka
disconnects giving error.

I tried 3-4 games between Rybka & GetClub each time when GetClub is at
advantage Rybka gives error and stops.

If any player has downloaded version of Rybka Play a few games against
Easy Level and let me know who wins.

Rybka takes 5 sec / move while Easy Level takes 50-60 sec / move. And
both play equal game.

I find since GetClub takes 12 times more time it plays as good as
Rybka.

But unfortunately whenever GetClub has strong position Rybka gives
error.

So I played a game between Beginner & Jester.

In this game GetClub was a pawn up. But later Jester gave a Pawn
Gambit.

GetClub thought it will be a pawn up so took the pawn. But after
taking pawn Jester found a Mate in 10.

Here in the USA people learn a vast number
of dialects of American English, plus foreign
languages such as British English and its
derrivitive, Australian English. Perhaps the
most popular "second language" here is
Spanish, and in fact Hispanics are the
fastest-growing segment of our population.

Odds are good that English will eventually
become the universal standard... and as
president Bush would say, either get on
board or be shoved aside as irrelevant peons
-- not that he's an incredibly obnoxious ass
or anything.

Factoid: there are more people in China who
can speak English than there are in the USA.

It has a name that no one have heard. Only a few people understand
that language.

When I was child till age 5. I only knew the Native Language.

But since No school teaches this language. I have to learn other

And there was no threath on GetClub at all. So no chances of any Mate.

Hey-- I can't even name the language Sanny learned
as a child, let alone make those kinds of mistakes in
his native language. I think he's doing very well with
English... but poorly with logic; and the more I read
here about chess programming, the more I become
convinced that it is not for amateurs like Sanny.

Witness the dimwit* who was schooled again and
again, yet contimued to delude himself into thinking
that he alone understood aspects which he alone
did not seem to grasp! (*Ray Gordon?)

Sanny is definitely not the right person to run any
head-to-head tests between Rybka and GetClub.
In attempting to allow his program to win once in
awhile, Sanny seems to cut Rybka off at various
different thinking times which are not stated
independently of operator time and can only be
guessed at. I would prefer more thinking time
for both sides, with Rybka giving material odds
and then demonstrating her vast superiority by
winning or drawing anyway.

In the free GUI "Arena", Rybka can appear to
freeze up when in fact she has selected a move
earlier; this move is displayed, but humans are
likely to assume that the frozen screen means
a blue screen of death style, Windows-typical
malfunction. Sanny, as always, interprets
every such "malfunction" as a forfeit-win for his
program. The reality is that it is hard to even
imagine a scenario wherein Rybka could lose
to GetClub, apart from odds games.

We've been over this before.

There is a problem with certain interfaces and the Rybka
engine, in which the program appears to "refuse to think"
and fixes on a given reply. For instance, if Rybka sees a
forced mate-in-eight she may refuse to "think" about the
position, and /gives the appearance/ of having locked up
without having decided on a move. In reality, she did
select a move, and from that point forward will behave in
the same manner, "refusing to think" about the position
at mate-in-seven, at mate-in-six, and so forth.

This problem can easily be detected by examining the
position with another decent chess program, which will
also find the forced mate. Another idea would be to go
into setup-a-position and change something, then
change it right back again; now restart the engine and
hopefully she will not find the mate right away, but show
a few lines of her iterative search before perhaps
appearing to lock up again. In some cases, it may not
be checkmate but soemthing else which brings on the
deep freeze.

This is very annoying but as with other primmadonna
world champions, you can't have true genius without
sacrificing somewhere else. (Well, actually, you can;
just buy a better interface or use a different version of
the engine.)

One more thing-- you said that each time GetClub
had the advantage, Rybka would freeze up. Just
exactly how much odds were you giving to the GC
program? Offhand, I would recommend QR odds,
but note that something must be done with Rybka's
contempt factor or she will unwittingly force draws
against her patzer opponent.

Well there is your answer. GitClub is not "a decent chess program".

The version of Rybka you are using seems to be crippled and/or
broken.

I played a game between getclub easy level and glaurung 2.1. The time
control for glaurung was 1s / move (60 moves in 60 seconds). Glaurung
was not allowed to think on the opponents time and was only using one
CPU. Glaurung was playing black and was using the weaker computer
(2.4GHz vs 2.6GHz for getclub).

Not surprisingly, getclub didn't have a chance under these very
generous conditions. Since Rybka (the real version, not your
crippled/broken version) is considered stronger than glaurung, it is
safe to assume that getclub is nowhere near Rybka in strength.

Here is the game:

[Date "2008.11.05"]
[White "GetClub easy level"]
[Black "Glaurung 2.1"]
