  HeMateMe: why would a world class program play "the spike"? (1.g4)

  timhortons: 1.g4!

actually when ever he play 1.g4 or 1.c4 Nakamura abort the game because their is a low chance he could block the center using the hippo but this time Naka accept the call and it blasted on rybka's face.

Transwarp/Rybka operator complain Nakamura's aborting the game as will as his repetitive use of the sequence of hippo move but ICC never once reprimanded nakamura on these.They only give sanction to ordinary ICC member but never apply the rules to grandmasters.

  JointheArmy: Their programmers need to stop bitching. They've been getting away with cheating against human grandmasters for years (i.e. Access to opening books).

  alexmagnus: Wll, a human knows openings too, it's not like you are doing some calculations when playing 1.e4 ;). So, there is nothing wrong bout a computer having opening books, just like humans have their memory.

Naka win once on rybka's 1.g4

he loss on it a thousand times.

Jun-11-09   tibone: the decisive blunder of this game seems to be 181.Kb2 not 174.c4 since there is no break-through for black after 181.Rg3:

Jun-11-09   tibone: why couldnīt it see that after the loss of the b-pawn the black passed pawns will deicide the game?

  Shams: <tibone> because it either uses its normal algorithms and is subject to the horizon effect, or it executes an override based on whatever AI recognition has been programmed into it. But programming pawn endings is a lot harder than it seems like it should be.
Jun-11-09   tibone: does anybody know how many seconds rybka had left at this point?

To accomodate human/computer chess, there are some points we have to appeal to analogies to figure out how to configure the games. IMHO, the computers have gotten FAR the best of those rules made to facilitate the games. For example, yes, humans can memorize. Humans can also forget. How about if we have a randomizing factor instilled into computer books so that every 20 games they misplay an opening? THAT would be more analogous than saying "Humans can memorize, so computers can."

Or to work the other way, if the computers can have access to an opening database that will never be misplayed, then humans should. That too, would be more analogous. But in fact, the humans get the short end of the stick both ways.

Jul-03-09   tivrfoa: Rybka hates Nakamura. Nakamura knows how to finish Rybka patience. xD

  Knight13: 181. Kb2?? Are you serious? I bet whoever was in control of the Rybka account made that move manually.

Sep-13-09   ChessEscudero: LOL! Rybka has been begging for a DRAW since move 128th!!! Never seen computers as pitiful as this.
Oct-02-09   nasiminasirov: Hi, Do you know that this game fake?
Oct-03-09   smalldreams: Hi, do you have anything more helpful to do than make groundless claims about human vs. computer games being "fake"?

Oct-31-09   Cercatore: 194. Rc2?? <--- Rybka went on short circuit?
Nov-05-09   b3wins: There have been mentions here that Nakamura's use of repetition to induce mistakes from the computer is illegal on ICC. Why is it then legal in a World Championship Match? The first game Kramnik Topalov 2006 contained the following from white: 49. Rc2 50. Ra2 51. Rc2 52. Ra2 A few moves earlier the same rook moved Rf1 Rc1 Rf1 a few times. The final result was 1-0 after black overpressed and lost. But the difference is: Rybka though he must win with more material. Topalov though that he must win in an endgame with a pawn deficit...
Nov-11-09   SufferingBruin: This has been asked before. If I weren't grading papers, I would scroll through the comments and find the answer (sorry--really rushed here). After I've graded my last paper, a few hours from now, perhaps I'll have time to scroll but for now, a low-ranked amateur has to know:

*How is possible to make 271 moves in 3 minutes?*

Again, apologies if this has been addressed a few thousand times.

Nov-11-09   Plato: <sufferingbruin> Using a feature called "premove." If you input your move before your opponent makes his or her move, your response is made instantly after your opponent's move, with no time lost (or perhaps 0.1 seconds lost at most, depending on the server). Nakamura has played even more moves in one minute. I have too, only the moves weren't nearly as good :-)
Nov-15-09   SufferingBruin: Gracias, <Plato>
