Feb-10-07   jhoro: on Feb 3th & 4th, 2007 <Kiril Georgiev> played 2 games man-vs-machine against a modified version of Crafty called <CraftyNovus>. Crafty was running on some beefy hardware (2 Dual Core Xeon 2.33GHz for total of 4 CPU's) provided by the main sponsor "Rent IT" from UK. This Crafty version (v20.12.r7) features additional pruning methods and "Rybka's evaluation extension". Crafty was crunching over 10 mil positions per sec. Despite the horsepower this time the man won! <The result was 1.5-0.5 for Kiril Georgiev>.

Thanks for the information.
So it's still possible to play against these monsters!Congratulations to Kiril

Apr-03-07   borkoto: Did really K. Georgiev lose out to Holzke Frank(2300) - cause looking at the game I thought they must be reverse colors...too many opening mistakes by white and exchanging queen for a rook with no counterplay - seems ridiculous,pls confirm cuase the official page doesnt say much
Apr-03-07   borkoto: I stand corrected - Frank is at 2470 but not a GM and has a win against Kasparov with black also...
