Jun-05-06   Chopin: I think ETABETA (Computer) would probably lose against Little ChessPartner.

  weisyschwarz: Call the Chess Bookies. I bet a five spot on Pogo to beat EtaBeta! :-
Jun-05-06   cotdt: etabeta has extraordinary potential to become the computer chess champion.
Jun-05-06   Chopin: <Cotdt>

<etabeta has extraordinary potential to become the computer chess champion.>

In that case, I have extraordinary potential to become the next World Chess Champion. :)

  technical draw: etabeta can't beat my computer, eatabagel.
Jun-05-06   Chopin: <FreeArcade Chess> would probably crush Etabeta.
Jun-05-06   Jilted Rook: Watch out for version 2 - Etaevenbeta

  WannaBe: It's version 3 that's scary, Eta-Beta-Da-Vida (honey)!!

Or version 4! Eta-Beta-Da-Vinci (code)!!

Jun-06-06   nikolajewitsch: Does anybody have an idea where I could get this engine? I mean, i could say I have beat an engine that was playing with full strength....
Jun-06-06   Chopin: <Does anybody have an idea where I could get this engine?> At a vending machine.
Jun-13-06   cotdt: i heard rumors that ETABETA will go commercial in the coming year, and will be cheaper than the other engines, only $40.

  alexmagnus: Who will by the worst engine ever participating in the WCCC? (though it probably could compete with those monsters from 1974).
Jun-13-06   cotdt: ETABETA can beat most of the chess players I know, and pretty consistently I'll bet.

  alexmagnus: It misses mates in 1, I doubt it can beat anybody rated over 1100.
Jun-13-06   Elixir of Life: <It misses mates in 1, I doubt it can beat anybody rated over 1100?>

It misses mates in 1? then it definitely must be a neural network. I mean, an orthodox engine, even if running on a computer that calculates 10 variations per second, wouldn't do that!

  alexmagnus: Yes, it misses mates in 1, like here:

  WannaBe: You know how Super GMs are playing computers for big money now?

I will offer myself to play ETABETA (Computer). Provided that I receive a 'nominal' fee of 10 million Euros. Plus hotel, meal, limo, and airfare.

Sounds very reasonable. I'm ready to sign the contract once 1/2 the prize money is deposited in my Swiss account.

Jul-28-06   dehanne: Yes but if the match is sponsored by FIDE, they will secretly replace ETABETA with Rybka just before the match starts... ;-)

  alexmagnus: Well, put a 1000 rated player in a GM tournament and you see the same.
Dec-07-06   nikolajewitsch: I wonder how strong ETABETA is in comparison to the very first chess engine, the Turing engine. I have been experimenting with the Turing engine a little and i find it relatively easy to beat, especially in endgames, although I ausually am a terrible endgame player. If I could get ETABETA, I could let them play against each other...or they should let the Turing engine participate in tournasments like the above mentioned.

  alexmagnus: <nikolajewitsch>. I think ETABETA would beat the Turing engine. ETABETA, in my estimate, plays at a level of about 1000. The Turing engine wasn't even able to beat a beginner (the first computer to beat a human complete beginner played in 1953).
Dec-07-06   nikolajewitsch: Well, but the Turing engine didn't actually exist during Turing's times, it was only a theoretical paper on how a chess engine could work. The implementation was not yet possible. The engine I am talking about is relatively young but based on the paper of Turing.

  alexmagnus: <Turing engine> Etabeta may well lose against it! Turing is not bad tactically, it's jus completely messed up strategically (that's why it is so bad in endgames and can't even mate with a lone queen). But Etabeta is weak tactically. I think Turing would easily "outcombinate" Etabeta.

Well, you have to scroll at the very end, naturally. :D
