Name: Tansel Turgut
Date Posted: Jan 16, 07 - 4:49 PM
Message: Yes,
1) I agree. this is good for cc.
2) This is a much more difficult challange than the one he had against the computers. 3) But, it would be also good if he didn't lose all these exhibitions. 4) Though, i believe that playing with such a big crowd even the World champion can do very well.

To me 3) is a very poor comment indeed!

Dr Hans Dieter Wunderlich 10.5/16
Dr Tansel Turgut 10/15
Dr Turgut has one unfinished game against Frank Gerhardt (all other games at the championship are finished). The Cross Table with the link to the games you may find here http://www.iccf-webchess.com/EventC... |

| Jan-22-12 | | cro777: Dr Turgut has a charactristic playing style in correspondence chess. It is very difficult to win a game against a strong opponent in today's computer assisted chess (a draw-rate is very high). In order to win such a game, you have to beat the strong computer plus a strong human who knows when to quit following the computer (which is also very difficult). Dr Turgut’s idea is that the best way is to lead the game into dynamic double-edged positions and try to make the best use of positional sacrifices (pawn and exchange sacrifices). Long term positional sacrifices are very difficult for the computers to understand. As soon as a positional advantage is achieved, material is no longer most important, and very aggressive play is required. At the 24th World Championship Final Dr Turgut made pawn or exchange sacrifices in no less than six games. |

| Jul-01-12 | | cro777: International Correspondence Chess Federation (ICCF) World Championship 24 Final
1. GM Marjan Semrl 11/16
2. GM Dr Hans-Dieter Wunderlich 10.5/11
3. GM Dr Tansel Turgut 10.5/11
Dr Tansel Turgut was the leader for approximately 7 months, however late wins by Marjan Semrl decided the outcome. As mentioned earlier, Tansel's ideas about computer chess in cc play are quite different from most. As in international play computer assistance is legal, running into strong computers is quite common. Tansel's idea of how to play against these computers is that the best way to beat these programs is to make positional sacrifices. Computers have sometimes problems when calculating long term positional sacrifices. On the other hand they see every short term sacrifice and tactics. http://main.uschess.org/content/vie... |

The ending is lost as the White's pawn mass from d4 to g4 will soon overwhelm Black's passive pieces. According to Turgut quoted from ICCF forum (which was later discontinued) if the pawn is on h7 Black wins. But if it is on h6 - as it is - White wins.

What I love about the exchange sac is that White's DSB had already left the board-- but it was sound anyway. |

| Aug-14-12 | | cro777: The last game in the 24th World Championship in correspondence chess went to 100 moves with Tansel Turgut playing for the win and a share of first place. However, an iron defense by his opponent Frank Gerhardt brought a share of second place to Tansel, an outstanding achievement! Dr Tansel Turgut (a cardiologist in Decatur, Illinois) is a Turkish national though he has lived and worked in the United States for twenty years. http://main.uschess.org/content/vie...

 | | FSR: Turgut is very critical of the current state of engine-aided correspondence chess, where almost all games end as draws. He wrote the following on ICCF's Facebook page (I corrected some typos, without change of substance): <10 MINUTES/MOVE? ENOUGH TO DRAW WORLD CHAMPIONS?1) In WC Final 33, in all my remaining games, I am switching to maximum 10 minutes/move analysis. I think that is enough to draw all the games. In this strong computer age, I don't think anyone can win a game from me even if if I use a couple minutes per move. (Kostas thinks 1 min/move is enough. He is probably correct - unless one makes a mouse slip.) 2) Chess has become a new Tic-tac-toe game now. From the starting position, the result is unfortunately known. 3) If all games in the WC Final are drawn, are we going to have 17 World Champions? 🙂Is ICCF is hoping for another mouse slip like the last WC Final? 4) I repeat again, I am ready to play any world champion (or any AI/computer entity) for money for a 10-20 game match, and they won't be able to win. (Actually an IM with a strong computer can probably draw the world champion right now, which is very sad.) 5) We need more advantage from the starting position. 0.1-0.2 is just not enough. I am strongly supporting the TCEC format with 0.6-0.9 advantage for one side from the starting position, playing 2 games with each player, one with each color. The aim is one draw, one win for the stronger player. 6) With a game database of 10,000+ positions, to be chosen for each tournament randomly. Interesting opening positions: Evans, borderline sound King's Gambit, Pirc, King Indians, etc.... Positions that we are afraid to play as Black, but ones that we would like to play if it is 2 games, one with each color... We need to make this change sooner or later. In my opinion, this is how CC will be reborn.> |
