| Open Defence: from the games I have seen in the Rybka and HIARCS forums (fora?) (where the time stamp and depth is in the PGN) it seems Zappa Mexico is lethal when it has enough time to calculate, most of its errors comes at a low ply move in a couple of seconds ... but one thing I am curious about..at a very long time control is Rybka stronger than Zappa Mexico ? |

| moroisthebest: any idea how Zappa Mexico II rates v. Rybka? |

| Open Defence: <moroisthebest> in the CEGT 40/20 rating list it figures at number 11 below the Zap!Chess Zanzibar which is a little surprising http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/40_... in the 40/40 rating list it seems to be second

it is basically a double fianchetto but since the pawn structure is not locked and few pawns are exchanged, computer engines may not evaluate the position correctly |

| Red October: She was taught chess by Ole Nimzo
From the hypermodern school
She played Nc6 to my 1.e4
And said it's something I should know
She said it's good for one's Karma
With Bishops in fianchetto
And carried on without a pawn or
A center like we used to do
She opened 1..Nf6
And played Bb4
She then played Nb8!
But she wasn't done yet
She played her rook to the edge
And didnt move her pawns yet
But I was in zugzwang
[Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum] She was taught chess by Ole Nimzo

| Open Defence: Zappa is doing well in the Thuringer tournament.
It beat Rybka and HIARCS but some feel this is due to the unequal hardware, nevermind that Rybka was on a cluster in the WC :) |

| BishopBerkeley: I note the following amusing comment at Zappa creator Anthony Cozzie's website: === begin quoted text ===
Retirement
The Zappa project is 100% finished. This includes both tournaments and future releases. Only one copy of the Zappa source code exists in the observable universe today, and that is safely squirreled away in a safe deposit box in the barbarous, provincial depths of rural Iowa, so I couldn't work on it even if I wished to. === end quoted text ===

All rather amusing....

| Thrajin: "Sangeeta", sung to the tune of Frank Zappa's "Dynamo Hum" Pt. 1
I couldn't say where she's coming from, But I met a chess player named <Sangeeta> She strolled on over, say look here, bum, I got a forty dollar bill say you can't mate me once (you just can't do it) She made a bet with <acirce> who's her Swedish chum,
She could prove it any time her chess was number one
I don't mind that she called my chess style scum,
But I knew right away I was gonna have her stumped (so I got down to it) I whipped out my king's pawn, moved my knight from g1, sent my bishop up to b5 just for fun I pressed the attack till my brain went numb, But I still couldn't break her open defense up <Sangeeta>, <Sangeeta>
where's her dynamic play comin' from?
I done spent three hours and I'm down a whole pawn
My position's done, 'cause of <Sangeeta> Want her to get into zeitnot
But she ain't havin' it
Set a trap to get her knight caught
But she won't fall for it
Locked her bishop in a tight spot
But she got out of it
Tried my best to find the right shot
But she just countered it
But I'll never eke out a win
The way I've been playin' it
And I gotta snap out of it
If I want a chance at this
'cause I'll never eke out a win
The way I've been playin' it
And I gotta snap out of it
If I want a chance at this
(she looked over at me with a glazed eye and some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area, and she said...) Just psych me out
And you're halfway there
'cause if my mind's tore up
Then my chess isn't there
I rubbed my chin in deep thought
An said my, my, my
What sort of thing
Might this cause this lady anxiety?
I checked out <acirce>
Who was holdin' the bet
And wondered what kind of trip
These chess hustlers were on
The forty dollar bill didn't matter no more
When <acirce> started kibitzing that side of the board He said <Sangeeta> might win the bet, But he would give her extra help if I wasn't done yet |

| Thrajin: "Sangeeta", sung to the tune of Frank Zappa's "Dynamo Hum" Pt. 2
I told him...
Just because my first attack
had fizzled and died,
No reason to assume
I won't continue to try
So I pulled at my hair
At the board I just stared
And struggled to find a combination in there
(whaddya mean combination!? no combo I see!)
She was nervous-y feelin'
(nervous!)
I was schemin' and dreamin'
(schemin' and dreamin' and ooooh!)
She didn't see what I was seein'
(see what I was seein'!)
Sac'ed my queen, sent her reeling
<Sangeeta> watched from the edge of the board,
Then saw the purpose of my move, I could tell she was floored Some sweat rolling down from her brow to her chin
While she spied the condition her position was in
She muttered and stuttered, and gasped to herself
While <acirce> made a joke about her mental health Till <Sangeeta> finally did give in,
But I told her all she really needed Was chess discipline That's Caissa's aura for ya
This was better than that last Smith-Morra
How did I see that move before ya?
Right there on g4-ah
And howabout you <acirce>?
You here to stay?
Did you say you want some more?
Well, here's some more...
I couldn't say where she's coming from, But I met a chess player named <Sangeeta> She strolled on over, say look here, bum,
I got a forty dollar bill say you can't mate me once (you just can't do it) I whipped out my king's pawn, moved my knight from g1, sent my bishop up to b5 just for fun I pressed the attack till my brain went numb, and I still can't believe that I won. <<<END>>> Of course, in real life I will probably never actually beat <Open Defense>, especially with a queen sac, but I can dream. :-) |
