Subject: Only a Genious can win at GetClub Chess.
Today I think the time has come to Celebrate the best games played by
GetClub Chess.

I saw last 10 games all of them won by GetClub Except one game where a
person was able to draw rest all were won by Beginner Level.

Now even Help Bot will find it difficult to win the Beginner Level.

Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

Only those using Computer to analyze will be able to win.

I think there may be 4-5 players who can still beat the Beginner
Level, But they have to think longer just like they play in a serious
game. So Beginner will play in 5-10 seconds, And you have to think
40-60 seconds per move then only you may win.

And for Easy & Normal Level you will never be able to win unless you
use Computer help or are a real Genious.

Here is the updated ratings to each level I give

These are the min rating I can give, I have given -100 to each Level
so that no one blame me that rating is wrong.

Beginner: 5-10 seconds/move [2000 Rating]
Easy: 20-40 seconds/move [2100 Rating]
Normal: 1-2 min/move [2200 Rating]
Master: 5-10 min/move [2300 Rating]

So now the Master Level will play like a 2300+ rated Player. Is there
any 2300+ Rated player on this Group.

Nah. I merely trade down to an equal King and
pawns ending, then win *automatically* as the
program hides its King in a corner! : >D

Although there have been significant gains,
I seriously doubt the program would rate this
high, if for no other reasons than:

1. It lacks a decent openings book;

2. It has virtually no endgame ability;

3. There is no time limit placed on the
human opponent-- unlike in real-life
competitions where the clock can
"force" errors.

One Genious Bonsai was able to Win the Normal Level, Anyone else who
can win Normal Level?

Normal plays very good moves still it gave away its rook for Bishop.
Why I found Blacks Pawns was getting Killed Still giving Rook for
Bishop looks bad.

31. Nd3-c5{8} Ke8-f8{114} {Is This Wrong Move Black should Save its
Rook.}

Was Black loosing Two pawns That it has to give away its rook for
Bishop?

31. Nd3-c5{8} Ke8-f8{114} {Is This Wrong Move Black should Save its

Black loosing the two pawns.

But still I find as the game proceed Black looses its pawns.

What do you think Black should have done to save its Pawns, I don't
Think giving Rook was a good move. But it was Normal Level who knows?

True enough.

But it is hard to compare an unexpected
Queen sac' followed by an equally
unexpected checkmate, to Sanny's game.

I played over it and he had just left a piece
/en prise/, which the program had just
captured, and only /then/ did the program
threaten an *obvious* mate-in-one, which of
course Sanny did not see (just as he did
not seem to see much of anything). In sum,
he was beaten like a carrot.

I've played the Caro-Kan many times at
GetClub, but I have never responded to a
stupid move like Mr. Tartakower's Q-d3 by
flinging out ...e5 and then getting micro-
miniaturized! Yet the fact that such a
famous master has played this move is
quite interesting; I have frequently noted
that one of the problems with the GC
program is its tendency for premature
and stupid Queen moves like that one,
and this demonstrates that Sanny's
creation has now reached about the same
level as the old masters. Just one small
slip (...Nxe4??) and I'm sure his program
would find the mate-in-two on the higher
levels.

Well, I'm not sure about the second sentence here. Books like Burgess'
"The Quickest Chess Victories of all time" (ISBN 1-85744-538-4) are full
of quick wins and mates, even in the highest levels. For instance

Two points:

1. GetClub has not even been around for two years,
which demonstrates just how little the self-appointed
"experts" actually know.

2. What "strong players"? The only people winning
consistently are the ones who are obviously using
another chess program! The self-described strong
players have vanished, like 1959 Cadillacs.

That's true; the commercial programs a few people
use crush Sanny's program, and yes, they are all
rated over 2000. I predict this will continue
indefinitely.


> Instead of hyping up your program, why don't you pay attention to why it
> sucks?

What I said! Just tonight, I played the Beginner
level and although I had a helluva tough time with
it, I lucked into a drawn King and pawn ending--
but the program ran away from the pawns and
lost! And while many, many players are not
strong enough to survive to this kind of ending,
the few of us who are continue to get free wins,
quite undeservedly, on account of this single,
Titanic-sized weakness which I have pointed out
*many* times.

I don't agree. If Sanny were making zero headway,
then perhaps he could be counseled to just hang it
up; but in reality, the program is now way, way
stronger than it used to be. The townspeople of rgc
comfort themselves by repeating the mantra: "there
is no wolf, the boy is making it up again", but then,
they probably couldn't tell the difference between a
real wolf and a sheepdog anyhow.


> That's computer chess for you.

Take the help bot challenge: log onto getclub.com,
deliberately hang your Queen, and then report back
on how you easily you managed to win in spite of
giving the program such odds. If you're feeling a
bit chicken, then only give it a Rook or a Knight. I
predict you will lose like a fish.

I lost in 12 moves because I overlooked a Mate in 1. Most of the time
I loose in 20 Moves. I am goiod player in my village. I am able to
beat many children on the streets here. And also a few good friends.

Many people say I am 1110 Rated. I have never played any tournament
But still I can win if you are a new player.

Yesterday Beginner Level won 5/6 (5 out of 6) Games played by Players.
And Easy was able to win 1/2 (1 out of 2) Games.

So in total 6/8 (6 out of 8) were won by GetClub Chess. And the two
which it lost were by very strong players. 1. Stinky Garlnoot and
Bonsai. Both are very strong players.

Play a few games and tell me if you find any weakness in the game and
I will remove them.

True. And only a chess ignoramus would think it takes a genius to
beat this mediocre-at-best program.

---

It takes a genious to raise a program?

Almost [every?] thing Sanny says is not true. If Sanny loses to a 12 move
mate, then he is what? 800? 600? His program seems to be 1200 based on
results against opponents, which considering his own rating is merely the
extent of the program's opening book.

But Sanny talks of all sorts of exhaulted things for it, which after 2 years
of 'even better now' pronouncemnts seem as dumb as the original, to actual
strong players. Doesn't matter Sanny if it is 1000 or 1500, that level is
simple **crushed** by anyone 2000+ rated.

Instead of hyping up your program, why don't you pay attention to why it
sucks? Human players need to do this! And you actually program the thing -
and you suck - so how come you don't follow any advice, while making such
idiotic claims for it?

After 2 years, you need to give up, since otherwise the only other thing you
can do is extenhd the program with a massive opening book, and never lose
before move 15 where the book ends - which is what st not-programmers do
all the time, since most people don't know 10 moves of anything ;)

That's computer chess for you.

ps: since sanny is essentially [though entertaining] spam, i cut out chess

Where are the players who said GetClub plays silly move??? Now see
Beginner won 9/10 Games with Human Opponent. and only 1/10 was able to
draw rest all were won by Beginner Level.

Peter & Sanjay11 games were played with the help of Computer I remove
those games from the list.

Is there anyone who can still find any mistake in the GetClub Game?
Just tell me if you still find any mistake in GetClubs game play.
