FICGS poker ratings
I knew that you would answer this way... And you are right on several points.
I read the rules before to write this, we could envisage to change the rules on the general forfeits issue but it wouldn't probably be so easy to "fix" it. Maybe another discussion is needed.
About chess, this has been done the same way several times for different reasons, see Wolfgang Utesch, Wayne Lowrance... The only difference is that Nelson gave a bad reason (with the excuse that he may have done this to help to find the best rating rules, which was not necessary). But he could have said something else. What would be the perfect rule? The current rule was probably discussed in the forum previously. Nothing better was found, that's all.
Anyway, this site stands for applying rules... and IMO I have the choice between doing nothing in this special case and preventing Nelson to enter a waiting list during 2 months. Nelson was totally wrong to do this... (also because of Paul's previous message that proves that it is possible to climb the scale quite quickly, which IMO goes in the way of not changing the rating rules) but now that it's done, I think that the best thing for the site is to let him continue, at least we'll learn something from this and it will improve the rating rules.

Chess positions too complex for engines
Hi Thibault,
Thank you for the examples.
I do not agree with your position against Peter Schuster. Almost every engine is now playing Qe2 i.o. Tb1 ?
So the engines now 'understand' this position a little bit.
Your position against Wolfgang Utesch is a classical fortress and indeed a bit funny. Here all engines show +5 and Rybka even +6 .... :-)
The 'tragedy' here is not the final position, but the fact the engines would go for such a position in their analysis, as it seems to be a clear win for white. I would file this under typical missing endgame understanding.
I.e. Rybka still does not understand wrong bishop endgames....
Thibault de Vassal (2010-12-13 23:14:40)
Chess positions too complex for engines
This topic may last a while but it could be interesting after all.
Why not trying to gather (and discuss) as many chess positions as possible that computers are still unable to solve with the best engines even working during days... It may help us to detect more weak points in the most recent engines.
Okay, I start with these ones:
Schuster-de Vassal : 1-0
http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=viewer&game=36895&move=96
Peter played very well in this one but as far as I can remember this position was an easy draw... The plan was to keep the rook on the e column and White cannot progress. I knew that but at this moment, I had to play this move quickly and I made a stupid mistake: I trusted the engine... Rb8+?? 1-0 .. my comp was really a prehistoric one there but I wouldn't be surprised if the recent ones were still not able to avoid to play this Rb8+
The next position is less interesting but quite funny, and it looks like that the newest engines STILL do not understand it... Actually it shows +5.00 or even more while it is an EASY draw for any human player...
Utesch-de Vassal : 1/2-1/2
http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=viewer&game=11345
Amazing, what do you think? :)
Thibault de Vassal (2009-06-22 16:41:00)
Discussion at Rybkachess
That's an interesting discussion... Once more, the confusion reigns between Freestyle chess (commonly played at classical & blitz time controls) and Correspondence Chess, particularly for centaur players who did not experience correspondence chess at a 2500+ level.
IMO (in brief) on several points :
1) All these made-for-engines books have no other interest than to "manipulate" chess engines & other made-for-engines books, actually this has almost nothing to do with correspondence chess (where they are completely useless at a high level, let's say 2300+) or even chess.
2) Many players do not realize the multitude of factors that appear to be more important that the basic strength of centaurs once the correspondence chess 2400 mark is reached and that still increases at 2500 and 2600... The higher the level, the more "opening books" depend on the recent games played by the opponent (and his level), the number of current games played, the score to reach in 8 games matches, the importance of rating, the goal in life, even the month/season for a few players and many other things according to the persons... Actually these "openings books" just live the time to use it one time, so a better term is preparation, actually opening books do not exist anymore in correspondence chess at a very high level, at most it may be useful against weaker players.
3) The previous point is enough to explain the rating changes of most 2400+ players ! In example...
- GM Farit Balabaev is a very experienced player who constantly has(had) more than 100 running correspondence chess games at several places for years, he's also a fast player, it is quite logical to me that he looks for quiet games and fast draws (or lose sometimes to very strong players who want to win more)
- Wolfgang Utesch, FICGS WCH finalist, like many players at one time in their life, decided that other things were more important and that correspondence chess was too time consuming, particularly once the 2500 mark has been reached...
- Eros Riccio obviously decided to win every correspondence chess competition at FICGS while playing a high number of games at several places AFTER having topped the FICGS rating list with the highest rating so far (which he did), so it is natural to look for a few quick draws in matches if 8 draws mean a victory for him (and a few rating points lost, that is quite inhuman anyway :))
- Michael Aigner tops most FICGS rating lists by playing only games at 40 days + 40 days / 10 moves time control, which is an enormous performance as obviously the longer the time control, the higher the rate of draws. I do not know how many current games he's playing at ICCF or IECG and other organisations but I suspect he plays a quite reasonable number of games.
- Xavier Pichelin may top the FICGS rating list this year as he's an incredibly dangerous player with White and Black and with a reasonable number of running games.
Many strong players also choose to play some tournaments for "fun" or to experiment openings and may lose some points while their real strength is over 2500 or more... so it is quite hard to make the difference between the real strength and correspondence chess ratings. So many parameters... It is likely that we'll see one day a 12 games match between Eros and Xavier (Michael do not play fast correspondence chess time control, yet I hope), we all wonder what rating could achieve Vasik Rajlich (Rybka's creator) and other very strong freestyle players but it is very hard to predict only by knowing their results in freestyle tournaments. Correspondence chess is a mirror of real life.
Wolfgang Utesch (2009-04-30 11:38:24)
Xavier Pichelin is old and new WC
Congratulations for the his win - he was better than me!
I'd like to have a longer outside from chess.
My interestings are actually more in endurance sports like cycling.
All the best for the future,
Wolfgang
Wolfgang Utesch (2009-01-22 19:33:40)
Outstanding future rating 2.616 by ...
Eros Riccio!!! Congratulations, Wolfgang
Thibault de Vassal (2008-12-26 20:26:06)
Pichelin - Utesch
Hi Hannes, as far as I experienced, Xavier is an excellent chess player, beyond Rybka & chess engines, with a very good understanding of the game and very efficient ideas, also in quiet positions. Wolfgang is able to make very deep & accurate analysis in complex or strange positions while playing fastly, really hard to play. Moreover both have a coherent, maybe different, global match strategy.
In my opinion, we may see quite surprising and long games, that could be decided in a way since the opening, I mean psychology could be the key in such a match. The way the pieces will be dealt may show some things.
50 / 50 :)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-12-26 08:56:58)
Game 1
Hi Hannes, I think position is after 51.Rb7 Rxb7 52.Bxb7 f4 = (i.e. 53.c5 Rf1 54.Ba6 Re1 55.a4 f3 56.a5 f2 57.Bb5 f1Q 58.Bxf1 Rxf1 59.b4 = key position!). Four pawns are not enough against the rook about the bad king position - surprising! Also 53.a4 Rd7 or 53.b4 Rd3 are not better!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-12-25 19:24:04)
Thank you, ...
... but I'm knowing, that my "win" over Francois was not convincing. I was playing with the rules on my side - in final will be the rules on side of Xavier! Merry christmas for all!
Thibault de Vassal (2008-12-24 14:19:19)
Pichelin - Utesch
Hi Wolfgang. Congratulations... Two very different styles to meet in a marathon 12 games match ! .. I'm impatient to see it.
Have a nice preparation :)
Merry Christmas to you all.
Xavier Pichelin (2008-12-24 10:58:55)
Pichelin - Utesch
Congratulations!! Wolfgang! I wish you good Games in the First Championship FICGS. I wish you a merry Christmas !!! Best Regards, Xavier.

Michael Aigner!!! And 2 GM-norms!!! Congratulations, Wolfgang
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-12-07 04:31:26)
Strange ....
Black is better, but I cannot see any decisive advantage!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-12-06 23:15:27)
Game #23794
another time violation?
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-12-01 22:17:10)
Endgame knowledge ...
... (with more than 6 pieces) is one of the last differences of todays high level correspondence chess!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-12-01 21:31:30)
15...a5!?
May be easier! Are there known any games? My idea was it to show, that white endgame ressources (neither by material nor by development) are not big enough for a win! Would be a fundamental investigation of this opening's worth. But Hannes is right - better to name it Marshall defence.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-12-01 18:53:45)
Why not both strategies ?
I have been surprised also about my opponent's strategy - 4 games the same opening - but it can work sometimes. I don't know whether another strategy would have been better? I think Francois has been surprised also about my answer 1.e4 e5 four times. In the past I prefered 1.e4 c5 mostly. The openings beside Marshall attack for the other games has been very well prepared by my opponent.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-11-30 21:01:56)
Good for white !?
Hannes, with best play on both sides White will have always a small advantage in this opening I think. Mostly not enough. For your game all the best - may be your opponent has missed the best defence.
Thibault de Vassal (2008-11-30 20:13:50)
Caire - Utesch
The strategy may work :)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-11-30 18:48:14)
Caire - Utesch
Thibault, in accordance to your rules I have to avoid any loss in all games of the match. So I decided to play defences with Black where the risk is lower, because general endgame ideas are more important than tactical play with many figures.
Thibault de Vassal (2008-11-30 17:15:01)
Caire - Utesch
Well, after a few seconds on each board, it seems obvious that White [François] can't lose any of these games -which surprised me- so waiting for your manoeuvres to get the draw in the first 2 games.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-11-30 15:55:08)
Caire - Utesch
Hi Thibault, it seems that actual positions are too complicated for you! ;)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-11-30 15:46:05)
Not Main Line
You are right, but main line is a draw anyway!
Thibault de Vassal (2008-11-30 13:56:19)
Caire - Utesch
Hi Wolfgang, you probably mean #23018, 23020, 23022, 23024 .. Interesting games, waiting for the next moves :)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-11-30 11:43:57)
Is Marshall attack ....
... good enough for a win on high level correspondence chess??? You can make your own mind with a look at 4 games of WCH_CANDIDATES_FINAL_000002 (# 23018, 23019, 23020, 23021) where Black played an unusual defence which could have fundamental importance of judgement this opening!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-11-16 14:04:19)
Loss on time
Hello Tano-Urayoán Russi Román, your kind of destiny hasn't been meant by me. Yor've my sympathy! Players I've meant are knowing.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-11-16 08:27:13)
Loss on time
Nice to see that special strange time management of some players here sometimes have negative consequences on their own.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-11-15 10:24:52)
Curious in Round Robin Final 3
Look at game #23804. What happened? Time violation?
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-08-24 09:06:56)
Andrew, stop scathing criticism
on Thibault. Maybe he did some controversial decisions. But everybody who have to do decisions can be out in his calculations. In summery Thibault do a very good job and we all have to be thankful to him for all his work on this site.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-08-19 18:05:34)
It seems, ...
... Andrew is right!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-08-10 15:23:32)
We have a ...
war correspondent, I think! :)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-08-09 06:30:04)
Marshall fest or test
Yes, we did - and all on one side!
Andrew Stephenson (2008-08-08 20:05:20)

Thibault de Vassal (2008-07-25 21:44:40)
Caire - Utesch
The only running games of François right now are the ones of your match, so I assume he left just before the start of the tournament... Not a real problem yet but definitely I'll have to add more informations in 'My messages' about the start of the next WCH stages.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-25 20:36:16)
But it seems, that ....
.... he has fogotten to announce his leave at FICGS!
Thibault de Vassal (2008-07-25 19:35:48)
Caire - Utesch
I'm waiting also.. Many players are in vacation these days :)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-25 19:08:23)
Where is my opponent?
I'm waiting ....
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-21 18:36:12)
Congratulation
Great performance!

It just started :)

Also congrats to Alberto Gueci who finished the 2nd round robin final (just like the 1st one) with 4 out of 6. Next time is the one !
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-21 06:23:07)
Caire - Utesch ...
... is next WCH candidates final!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-17 16:03:58)
May be I'm a fool ....
...., but what is the simple difference between playing the same opening with black and white over 10 and more moves and MIRRORING? When is ending the first and when beginning the second?
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-17 04:57:26)
In example ....
... Both players of a match decide to play Sveshnikov with white and black, so it is normal that the first 8 moves are mirrored, may be that both players decide to play a special way in this opening with white and black, it can be that 20 moves are mirrored. Where is the problem? What can be wrong?
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-16 20:40:08)
Surprise, surprise ....
... it looks like a pre decision in WCH-Final_1: Figlio - Pichelin?!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-16 20:32:14)
Cannot work ....
.... within opening theory - this could be more than 20 moves in a game!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-16 17:36:57)
@Stephenson: I'm waiting for you ...
... on my level about 2.500! ;-)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-16 17:33:20)
Thibault: From which move on ...
... does this rule work???
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-15 17:51:16)
@Stephenson: ELO 3000
When I've read your comments I'm thinking, you must have ELO 3000!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-07-14 18:30:38)
Luck or Knowledge?
WCH-KO-Final 2: Ingersol - Utesch I'd just lost all my hope for winning the last game and the match - but now (after 89....g5??) !? In my opinion is chess a game of luck!!! Harry had been much better in most games of the match, but failed in last game - I won't be very proud on this match win.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-05-25 14:19:47)
Rybka vs Rybka a draw ....
... and what does it verify?
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-05-22 15:38:20)
Decency
I think, judgement of this behaviour is not a question of ruling but of decency!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-05-05 16:14:09)
Amazing ....
..., solution for some variants is covered by a problem-like position, where engines can't help. I found it after analyzing this position and the forced way about 40 hours. A lttle bit knowledge and a lot of work and luck, that is the mixture you need for a win in high level correspondence chess game.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-05-03 07:15:10)
Game 17894
Hi Andrew, I analyzed this position without an absolute certain result yet. White is clear better, but the way of win is very, very small (if it exist). Enjoy looking what will happen in this game next time!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-05-02 21:32:37)
Showdown Number 2
WC-Knockout Final Ingersol-Utesch: Ingersol has just to draw the both last games. Most games in this final has been much better for him, but not good enough for a win. And at the end there is a single game with a very complicate position (#17894) which is making the situation extremly thrilling! No one can be sure what will happen.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-05-02 17:13:22)
Game #17834 or #17836 for best game!
This would be a much better choice than that one at the moment (#15864). I would like to vote for it, but I can't.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-05-02 15:59:02)
Showdown time
It seems we should have a (deeper!) look at WC-Quarter Final Riccio-Zubac - it is showdown time! The both last games are equal for all the 33 moves and Riccio has just to draw for the match win - easy? I'm not sure.
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-02-03 14:00:21)
First FICGS GM tournament
again - There will be a forfeit by Viktor Savinov (Rating 2668 !!!) - good for ratings of the other players in this tournament! :)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-01-27 09:40:53)
"... if he manages to qualify
... for the WCH-final against Gino ..." but this is (unfortunately) not the reality - See Game 13145 !!
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-01-25 16:32:55)
Rules
Thibault, you have really an advantage by your knowledge of your own rules! :) Best, Wolfgang
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-01-25 11:59:22)
Rating rules
Hi Thibault, will games rated also if one player withdraws without any move (or only a few moves < 10)? I can understand that the withdrawing player should be penalized by negative rating, but not if the "winner" will get positive rating! Otherwise the FIGCS ratings will be a farce or better a gamble! i.e. Ingersol - Popov 8:0 without any move by Popov (TER 2463) in WC quarter final 4-000003
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-01-10 06:30:28)
Today is every day
... most probably ;)
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-01-08 18:35:22)
When will start ...
... the WC-2-final match Ingersol vs Utesch?
Wolfgang Utesch (2008-01-07 06:34:46)

There will be a forfeit by Viktor Savinov (Rating 2668 !!!) - good for ratings of the other players in this tournament! :)
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-12-23 16:25:30)
conditionals
What I meant with workload is useless and boring work which is unnecessary!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-12-22 08:29:36)
What will happen ....
... if in WCH Round Robin Final 1 two or more participants will be having 4/6 points. Who will be the opponent of Gino Figlio in this case?
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-12-22 07:28:28)
conditionals
Thibault, I don't think that time saving is the most important reason to wish conditionals but to minimize the workload of clear moves!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-12-19 08:03:06)
High level performance
This extra high performance is a result about forfeiting of the two both best rating participants of the tournament. Anyway comgratulations tu Marius Zubac!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-12-04 19:26:05)
Looking for the opponent of ....
...the winner of first knockout final: Gino Figlio! Congratulations!!!!! Who will win the first round robin final?

Yeah, it will be an interesting match !
I have my favourite, but chht :)

2nd Chess Final H. Ingersol - W. Utesch
Both player won clearly their semifinals. Any predictions for the 2nd final ?
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-10-27 15:11:26)
Still on leave ...
... until November, the 4th! Best from my holidays on Mallorca, Wolfgang
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-10-05 15:37:27)
Slave of ...
Thibault said, he is slave of his site - but I think, we are slaves of his site, aren't we?
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-26 15:25:11)
4,5 - 2,5
Thibault, this result of a small nuumber of games has no statistical significance. But Zappa seems to be a very strong engine!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-23 17:35:41)
50 moves rule
Hello Heinz-Georg, think you for that! So FICS has another special rule, different to ICCF or FIDE!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-23 17:16:54)
50 moves rule (better wording)
Is the 50 moves rule effective (50 moves without striking any piece or without moving any pawn) - as in FIDE or ICCF rules (draw)? I can't find a hint in our rules.
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-23 16:53:41)
50 moves rule
Is the 50 moves rule effective (50 moves without striking any figure or moving a pawn) - as in FIDE or ICCF rules? I can't find a hint in our rules.
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-21 16:10:20)
Figlio - Schuster
I think there is no perfect way to do it right for everyone. Thibault's rule is a compromise (as others) and his special way for matches. There is no reason to cry or to be crazy about - it's just a rule. Thibault by himself just has been victim of his own rule!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-18 16:10:49)
Great ....
and very, very, very fast! Thank very much, Thibault
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-16 20:45:57)
Schuster-Figlio
Playing in accordance with the rules can't be dishonor!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-16 19:13:29)
Yes, you're right! (n.T.)
.
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-16 15:59:15)
Figlio - Schuster
Two white losses by Peter in one match - I can't believe it. Why he took so high risk in this special situation (he just has to hold draw in all games)?
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-16 05:14:27)
IECG WC 2006 final
Perhaps some day I can tell my grandchildren: I've beaten the World Champion in a 8-games-match before. :) All the best for your final!

Best joke for me is reading
the (moderated) thread "Correspondence chess without computers"! :)

It depends ...
... whether provocation has to be answered or not - and in which way! It is not just a question of intelligence, it could be also a question of moral courage! Anyway - you will do it right, as already before!

Hi Thibault, I know I should be more wise because of my old age. But sometimes I can't hold on me! :-)
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-07-28 09:34:05)
lol
Some of us are thinking to have eaten wisdom, some are not. It is nice to see, that you are the former!

Lack of logic
If your logic is better than mine, you should have also a better chess rating than me. Is that logically??? :-)

Rybka vs. Human
Jason, cool down - I've no problem with your devoutness of IQ definition. You can exercise IQ tests - maybe OTB chess training is also a good way to prepare for IQ tests. A book author isn't always a good writer but his editor! But, what is about social intelligence, intelligence for survival, intelligence for profession/business (beside chess) and so on!
Jason Repa (2007-07-15 15:35:45)
Rybka vs. Human
Well Mr. Utesch, you clearly know nothing at all about Mr. Fischer. His IQ was evaluated at 180, so there is no debate about his intelligence. This has been well documented You seem to be confusing intelligence with social grace or being a good politician.
Also, in addition to his well-known chess accomplishments, Fischer is a published author of several very popular books and inventor of chess variant FischerRandom (or chess 960 if you prefer), as well as an innovative clock. What have you accomplished in comparison?
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-07-15 15:24:42)
pattern recognition = intelligence?
Best skill for (OTB-)chess is pattern recognition and very hard drill of playing. Not much time for learning other important skills beside!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-07-15 14:55:22)
Rybka vs. Human
Thibault, in my oppinion problem is your definition of intelligence. Is Kasparov really more intelligent than i.e. Jean-Paul Satre (or Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)??? A man like Bobby Fisher was/is showing, that excellent specialised skill (of chess) nothing has to do with enough intelligence for life!
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-07-15 12:46:38)
Wise decision
from you - as always!

Rybka vs. Human
Conversely, computers, or AI in general, are still very primitive with regards to activities that are simple for a four year old to conduct, such as shape and speech recognition. I agree with Utesch, there is no point in losing any sleep over the increasing improvement of computers in chess. We need not be in competition with them.

Austrians
Wow, 2 Austrians in the Semifinals - then no other can take away Austria (at least) to finish third! :-)
Wolfgang Utesch (2007-07-14 14:40:22)
Quite funny, 3 Wolfgang in WCH2
Thibault, I don't know who is who but the best must be Wolfgang von Kempelen: He was the first one who used a chess machine!
