Intuition
Thibault, I understand your point but in humans (all living things having a brain actually) there is a moment between the observation of something and when we begin to think about it. Robert Pirsig calls this moment our entire knowledge of "external reality." Intuition happens in that moment. I don't think computers have a corresponding state to this (and possibly our own is an illusion ;). You are right that this is a more philosophical question than technical, but as long as we insist on comparing "artificial" intelligence to our own, computers must be subjected to these questions.

Karpov, Kasparov, Fischer play Go !
Just read this in IGN "Goama" newsletter (by Alexander Dinerchtein)
http://gogame.info/
"3. Both Karpov and Kasparov, former World Chess Champions plays Go on 10-kyu level."
"4. Somebody noticed, that Robert Fisher, the former Chess champion played Go a lot during his stay in Japan and reached the amateur 3-dan level."
Quite impressive. (particularly Fischer)

Chess engines rating
Very nice information. A great big word of caution. We play coorespondence games here. Those engine-engine tournaments do not indicate directly which program is best suited for correspondence deep analysis, I do not have enough experience with the engines except earlier versions of Fritz, shredder, Hiarc, Junior and of course Dr Robert Hyatts Various versions of Crafty and Rybka. Rybka is top rated eng-eng program for fast time controls. But not sure that it is best for deep analysis. My guess is that Latest Fritz is at least as well suited for deep analysis and perhaps better. Then their is Shredder another top eng-eng program that is very very good at deep analysis. From what I read and for what it is worth those are the best engines. But if you want the strongest program for 40/120 time control down to bullet chess,then the clear winner is Rybka by Vas. Hope this is of interest. Wayne

Opponent dragging out lost game
Hi, Is it possible to get a game adjudicated, if the opponent just does not resign. It is game #5664, where my opponent ist in a hopeless situation. We are already in the six men tablesbases and he is lost with check mate in 34 moves. From his original 100 days time he already used 57. He seems to be determined to drag this out as long as possible. Do I have to wait another 43 days for the win :(
Thibault de Vassal (2007-05-20 14:25:05)
Opponent dragging out lost game
Hello Robert.
According to the rules, in a lost position your opponent has at most 1 month to finish the game after you called referee a first time (done). Feel free to ask for an adjudication in about one month, or at least before the next rating calculation.
Best wishes, Thibault.
Robert Mueller (2007-05-20 20:37:14)
Thank you :)
Thank you, that was very helpful. At least the game will be over before the next rating list update.
Robert Mueller (2007-05-29 17:46:55)
This is becoming ridiculous...
Hello Thibault, I understand the one month rule. But this is becoming ridiculous. My opponent in game #5664 is playing on with King against King-Rook (no pawns). He has 98 days left. Still no adjudication?
Robert Mueller (2007-05-30 06:09:53)
Adjudication
Thank you.

Lightning and Blitz Time Controls
Question: Let's say I subscribe to a lightning or blitz time control (30 min or 2 hours) match and I am the first one, when does the game start? As soon as another player signs up? That could be hours or days later. I could be asleep and lose on time. Or am I missing something here?

FICGS vs. IGAME.RU, the games
Hello to all.
The friendly match between FICGS & IGAME.RU teams just started :)
http://www.ficgs.com/tournament_FICGS__CHESS__FICGS_VS_IGAME_RU_MATCH.html
I'd like to thank Sergey Pligin for organizing this match and all players who registered to play. I apologize to the players who couldn't play :/ .. 25 boards was not enough this time. To build FICGS team I selected players with the highest ratings but one cause his rating should be clearly >2000 already. Also IM Mark Noble plays at table 6 because his opponent is another FIDE IM.
I wish good games to everyone, this is a great opportunity for us to meet russian chessfriends.

Bobby Fischer
Very interesting reading, indeed. I like the story about the phone call with the Islandic girl. What I admire most about Fischer is, that he made chess interesting for the whole world in a time when it was dominated very much by the Russians (or Soviets).
Robert Mueller (2007-08-04 18:40:11)
Are the match games with russia rated?
No, they are not.

Who is chess champion in your country ?
Maxime Vachier-Lagrave just won the France chess championships in Aix-Les-Bains, after a great tournament (other players in National A tournament were Vladislav Tkachiev, Andrei Sokolov, Christian Bauer, Josif Dorfman, Robert Fontaine, Laurent Fressinet, Jean-Marc Degraeve, Anatoly Vaisser, Igor Nataf, Olivier Renet, Laurent Guidarelli)... Thal Abergel won the National B tournament.
Now the question is :
Do you know who is champion in your country ? .. Not only to know who is champion, but to see if this information is well known or not...

Class M Waiting List
Hello Thibault, I noticed that in the Chess Class M (ELO 2200-2600) Waiting List there are two players with a rating of well under 2200 (2174 and 2147). I suppose, they had a rating higher that 2200 when they signed up, but dropped under 2200 before the tournament was started. Shouldn't they be removed from the waiting list now?
Thibault de Vassal (2007-11-18 15:21:04)
Class M Waiting List
Hello Robert, it wouldn't be conventional to remove players from waiting lists IMO. These players just lost their 2200+ rating but they probably deserve to play this tournament. Rating considered is the one you have when you enter a waiting list. Kind of "last chance" :)
Robert Mueller (2007-11-18 15:48:06)
OK, too late anyway ;)
OK, thanks. The tournament started today anyway.
Robert Mueller (2007-12-16 13:57:56)
Conditional Moves
I am sure this must have been discussed in the past, but if I could vote for one improvement on the FICGS server software, it would be conditional moves. After all, it is soon Christmas and the time for big wishes ;)
Robert Mueller (2007-12-17 05:54:09)
Why are you opposed to the idea?
Now I am puzzled. I thought there were no conditional moves on this server because it is a technical issue. Why would you be opposed to the idea? It is pretty much standard in correspondence chess, even on servers.
Robert Mueller (2008-01-03 09:38:38)
Great Article, but ...
Yes, a good article, which is missing similar information about Rybka, Zappa and maybe a few others. But copying the article here is strictly speaking illegal (© 2007, Steven A. Lopez. All rights reserved.). A link would have been enough.
Robert Mueller (2008-01-03 11:12:07)
Copyright issues
This is of course a difficult topic. I remember a very long thread about this on another forum. The result was an understanding that articles from external sources were not to be posted directly on that forum any more but only links to the article. I believe that it is only allowed to copy the article with written consent of the author. But then again, I am not a lawyer.
Robert Mueller (2008-01-11 19:24:42)
Personal Mails
Hi Thibault, I am not sure this is a problem. Maybe I just have not figured it out. I would like to be able to send a personal message to my opponent AFTER the game is finished. Sometimes I offer a draw, my opponent accepts, and the game is gone from my list. I would like to send something like "thank you for the game" or "good game". I just don't know how to do that.
Andrew Stephenson (2008-01-15 18:59:44)
winner
The winner of tournament_FICGS__CHESS__WCH_STAGE_2_GROUP_04 was Robert Mueller because he had the highest TER of those on 4/6. Thats the rule!
Thibault de Vassal (2008-01-15 20:29:21)

That's right, Robert Mueller qualifies for Stage 3.

Robert Mueller (2008-01-17 18:43:01)
FWIW
I am sorry for Peter that he was not qualified for the third round. Yes, he did win our game, but due to a blunder on my side when I lost a piece on move 4 because I read his move wrong. I am sorry for Peter, but the rules are quite clear about the TER qualifier.
Robert Mueller (2008-01-17 18:44:38)
Yes, great ...
... improvements on the My Games page. It looks very tidy now. Keep up the good work.
Thibault de Vassal (2008-01-21 04:29:10)
Bobby Fischer in the news
Quite impressive to hear so much about Fischer's death in the medias taking his past into consideration... Fischer was a living legend whatever his thoughts & life after the century match in Reykjavik 1972 against Boris Spassky (actually the whole world already).
FICGS statistics from search engines and particularly Google exploded these last days.. "Robert James Fischer", "Fischer Spasski", "Fischer champion du monde", "La partita del secolo", "Fischer random chess", "Fischer Palma de Majorque" ... and so on... sometimes stranger (even quite frightening) keywords associated to him.
Anyway, Bobby continues to promote the chess game all over the world !
Charlie Neil (2008-01-24 18:09:45)
Bobby Fischer died
One reporter said Bobby Fischer was 64 the same as the number of squares on the chessboard. Well Robert J Fischer was a lot of things but he was never 'square'. Thanks for the chess, Bobby

Why so few top players in Wch 5 ?
I can only speak for myself. 1 move per day is too fast for me. I decided not to sign up for the WCH but play standard time controls (4 days per move) instead. When I signed up for WCH 4, round 2 of WCH 3 started and then I surprisingly qualified for the WCH 2 final. Suddenly, I had more than 20 fast games in progress. This is too much stress for me.
Robert Mueller (2008-07-19 07:31:33)
available? - not quite
Rybka 3 is not quite available yet. You could pre-order at Chessbase (if their website wasn't down) or at Convekta. But delivery willl begin on August 1 or August 4 depending on where you buy.

Organizations become evil
Robert Townsend said it best in Up the Organization; that after some period of time, organizations become more concerned with their own survival than whatever it was they were designed to organize.
Combine this with the idea that power corrupts, and we find that all organizations eventually become corrupt and primarily concerned with retaining power at whatever cost.
There are 6 results for Robert in wikichess.

Na3
The Durkin
Named after American master, Robert Dirkin, who probably would have known better than to play it anyway. This is a very strange place to develop the knight. If white wanted the knight to exert central control, Nc3 is better. If his aim is to keep the c pawn flexible, the English, or even the Saragossa is preferable. White's aim will be to move this knight yet again, probably to c4. Black is fine developping normally.
Chessbase considers this a 54% win for white.

c4 b5
Jaenisch gamnbit
Never been an especially popular opening, the Jaenisch gambit is a theoretically unsound attempt at getting an interesting game out of the English. Black aims to quickly develop the bishop to b7 and gain central control, though he is not without some tactical traps on the queenside. White can easily fight for a solid centre, and start some counterplay while black is trying to regain the pawn.
Chessbase considers this a 34% win for black, 32% if white accepts the pawn.
