Today again GetClub was improved. Now it will play like a big
elephant. And throw big trees to whoever plays with it.

It will be very difficult to get a win now.

I am considering Human Opponents. Try playing yourself instead of
taking help from other computer.

May be VLAD (Chessmaster) is a strong program. Still it took 90 moves
to win the game that shows Easy Level gave a good Challenge to that
program.

Yes, for most moves it plays in 30-40 sec but for complex positions it
can think longer.

The recorded game only shows first 70 moves though the game was played
till 90 moves. You can play the animation to see the complete game.

At move 20 Easy was a pawn up.

But on move 40 you recovered that pawn.

On move 70 you got a Knight for a pawn.

On move 80 you were a Rook up.

On Move 90 you got a Queen

On Move 92 Easy Level resigned.

So I think Easy gave a good challenge to VLAD and both are having
roughly same strength. Otherwise the game would have ended before
that.

In Chess there are millions of positions and I cannot tell what to
move in all positions.

But still there are some rules like not to play pawns infront of King
and never take out King in miffle game.

I was just asking if any such general rule is violated.

Sanny, you're a liar, and you will almost certainly never hear from me
that GetClub plays anything but painfully boring games that it usually
loses.

You lie about the engine's ratings (as we've all told you many times),
and you lie about how long it takes for the engine to make moves. Once
again I played a game between Easy and Vlad (a Chessmaster 9000
personality who plays instantly and is rated about 1850 USCF). Vlad
won, of course, and this makes the score 2.5 to 0.5 for Vlad.

Your website also claims that Easy takes between 30-40 seconds per
move. But in this game, as usual, Easy took 2 hours and 10 minutes to
play 91 moves. That averages out to over 85 seconds per move, which is
more than twice as long as your website says. There were MANY moves in
which Easy took longer than 3 minutes, and there were at least two
moves in which it took more than 5 minutes.

So, Sanny, you're a liar. And you know nothing about chess.

In India people worship Elephant and they consider them as God
Ganesha.

In India many animals are worshipped like Cows, Goats, etc as they
give milk.

This is probably a good expression in some Indian language that Sanny

What were the moves that were wrong and what should it have played in
place of them?

Which were the places where pieces should not be moved to? I think you
played with Beginner Level, You should try Easy Level as you are a
good player.

Well Played but you took 57 moves to win against Beginner Level. Try
Easy Level and that will be tougher.

The fact that you always have to ask these questions shows how clueless you
are. You should be able to tell what are good moves and what are terrible
moves.

It sounds like you have list of possible moves for a given position, and
choose a move randomly. When you are told what is a bad move, you remove
that move from the list and claim that "GitClub was improved 57 times
today"!

No. It may or may not find the same move in less time now (I still have
to wait a long time), but it simply finds the wrong moves faster.

Loook at how even when given white the computer goes down miserably
without ever doing anything positive. The program just does not know
whether a piece is in a good position or not. It also still gives
material away for no particularly good reason.
