Im a Nakamura fan but i admit Naka has no match against rybka at all be in blitz and bullet at ICC, just look at the win loss record.

Choose the most exciting ones among the games, or choose a game where TW beat a high profile player, exclude nakamura on these.

The mate that b-amin did to tw is familiar to me.

There are players at icc who do nothing but play against computer everyday, i lost contact with some of them lately.

id seen already this mate position more than once against computer in the past.

look how his pieces overwhelmed the castled king of rybka3 in a bullet game.

TransWarp vs AndrinoGiardino
White> win loss draw score | win loss draw score <Black Blitz 12 0 1 96% | 14 0 0 100%

meanwhile, the deleted account "Nielsen" actually achieved 1 win and 5 draws in 35 games, but this was vs Rybka 2.3.2a mp x64 back in early 2008.

And Wesley So only played 2 games vs TW, but that was cool, but they seem more interested in Standard games, I did read that it doesn't have to be 2 GM's but at least one.

If you could send the admin the pgn of andrino/magnus carlsen game, then they would be the one to decide if they upload it or not.

Nah, it's just a reference to Star Trek and the Borg's fictional warp engine, which is much faster than the Federation's, talked about mostly in Star Trek: Voyager.

And I never claimed to be sane, so I just leave my shoes at the door. I could leave my insanity at the door, but then it wouldn't be fun :P

3 minute-blitz game.

This is consistent, as far as I know, with the way other computers are handled by cg.

Looks like beating rybka in blitz is there ultimate goal.

If nakamura would only stop tossing his rating to transwarp at ICC he go past Carlsens and grischuk rating already by mile, those two guy<carlsen and grischuk> stop playing blitz after they surpass nakamura record by 1 point and they take good care of there rating by not playing blitz anymore.

Hopefully TW back soon

Hopefully, TransWarp will be back online soon. I am short of funds, I may not be able to get it back online in September, it depends of course on bills. Real bills come first of course, not hobby bills. At least in our household it does! My Dad has helped on the last 6 months, I cannot ask him again, after all, it's not his hobby. The price of cable tv, especially now with HD is so expensive, I would almost go back to the days of when we had to get up to change channels, now one of the first words kids learn is "remote" or "mote"! At first it was easy, we only had two channels to pick from in South Dakota, then it got to three! The horror!! I never saw ABC until I moved to a different town, (or visiting relatives in other towns). So with cable and internet combined, it gets quite expensive, luckily, my Dad covers the internet part, but with all the commercials still on tv, you would think it wouldn't be so expensive...but all this technology .

When TW wasn't online a lot recently, I had been fighting pneumonia and now after an mri found out why my shoulder hurts so much, some sort of problem between where the bicep connects to the shoulder, not sure if a tear or what, "flap" something was mentioned, going to look that up next. Great thing about internet, helps me keep up with what my meds do as well as my disability and it's problems. Just go to WebMD or something, don't have to call your doc to explain every little thing.

But back to the subject, if I can pull off paying my bills, I will try to get TW back on the first week of Sept, after I figure out my budget, it's not like it's been getting much play lately anyway, I would like to thank ARMCOMPOSER for agreeing to playing some unrated games, personally, I think anyone rated over 3000 should be able to put up 1 rating point. It's not that TW is a point seeker, but it has worked hard to get where it is, plus I have as well ;) Working on books, settings, etc. And after all this work, risking 15 points for a draw and 31 points for a loss, while gaining only 1 point for a win, there's just no incentive. Getting to 4000 1 or 2 points at a time, while going 15 points backwards for a draw, then having to wait for 16 games to get those points back plus 1, while waiting days for games, you have to set some rules. At least TransWarp has ALWAYS accepted any time control! Despite seeking popular time controls like 1 1, 3 1 and 15 0, it's variables just say bullet, blitz or standard, not restricting players to 0 or 1 second increments. This is popular by some machines that are human only, and I think a bit of a cop out. The machine has the advantage, let the humans try to get any advantage they think they need, whether to out blitz the machine with 0 increment, or outthink the machine with 5 seconds increment is the way to go, in my opinion. Then there's sinferno, claiming that every game it played was watched by ICC in setting it's record, there is no way that ICC could watch every game and confirm it followed the rules set forth by the "official" record rating. It has no more proof that it has achieved it's official record over TW's unofficial record other than that it's a Official Developer Account. Sure, I didn't make Rybka, but I never used another engine, always accepted any time control, so other than that I didn't make and develop Rybka, I feel that it's record is just as official. But that's just me.
