Last improvement that was done was yesterday. Still if someone complains then the program is corrected. But now Its not possible to improve it further. I am happy to know that GetClub program now give good challenge to even strong players. And today Master Level found a Mate in 16 ... 20 which no other Chess Engine could find. Even Taylor Kingston do not believe that the game has Mate in 16 ... 20. Nowadays even beginner Level is giving good Challenge to human opponents. Only player who is still unbeatable are those taking help from other commercial programs. Now no Human can challenge the higher levels. I am glad with GetClub Performance. And GetClub will be remembered as a best Chess program developed. And if the improvements continue It will take the crown of top engines. But that still is too far to say. Only Time will tell what happens next. GetClub will always be remembered in the Chess World History. Bye Sanny Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

His analysis and Chess knowledge was required to develop the GetClub Chess engine. Bye Sanny Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

Yes, I can believe that too. I live in rural Essex and visit a pub where there is a boring character. He tends to be ignored. But, in many pubs in the east end of London, Sanny would no doubt suffer GBH. > Also, I wasn't really surprised to read that you are British : are we > a more cynical people ( I'm a half-breed, but I've got cockney in me ) > or is something else at play here ? I'm not quite cockney, having been born in Walthamstow where it is not possible to hear Bow bells. But not too far from you. Lots of people think the British as a nation are too tollerent, but I must admit, I'm not very tollerent of idiots like Sanny. I'm just surprised the number of people who are. >> I sometimes wonder who needs the most help - Sanny or those that respond >> time and time again. > > Well, one of the most insistent is Help Bot, who seems a pretty savvy > charachter, as far as I can see.

But when in public people do not listen what I think, But they only go on how I look. So they will only respond to my body language. They are interested in what I am wearing. How I look. And many XXXXXXX other things. They never know what is GetClub and even do not know my name So normally 99% will ignore as we are stranger. I was once in a pub I was offered free meals from a (stranger) person. He said to me "I want to be your friend" He gave me lots of ts. and then he sang a song to me. I asked him why are you giving so many things to me. He said. I want to be your friend and I want to share some time with you. He gave me a few ts. Then sang a song for me. He just saw me for 5 minutes and started loving me so much. Then he asked me to give him an autograph. I was surprised why a few people can love me so much when I am a stranger to him. By Gods grace I have always met good people and I like them as much as they like me. But on newsgroup only Chess players with interest on Chess learn about the GetClub Program. And they enjoy playing chess at GetClub. Daily 20 games are played at GetClub and people revisit GetClub to play more games. Bye Sanny Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

After analysing the moves for hours it was found that there was some error in the GetClub Program that it resigned.

There were continuous cries of "Cheers for great Sanny!" "Long live great Sanny, Hurrah!" "Cheers for our beloved Sanny!" ) Comrade Sanny : Comrades! Eight years have passed since creation of the Supreme Getclub. This has been a period replete with events of a decisive nature.

The second four years covered the events of the conflict against the Anti-Getclub aggressors - and the events of the =93Everbrown Game=94. Undoubtedly, the =93Everbrown Game=94 was the main event during the past period. It would be wrong to think that the =93Everbrown Game=94 broke out accidentally, or as a result of blunders committed by certain people at Getclub, although blunders were certainly committed.

And GetClub will be remembered as > a best Chess program developed. well Sanny although from the other responses i wonder whether it makes any difference to give you more feedback, one more little reply, mostly out of annoyance about your continued mate in 16..20 claim; it looks like you're becoming somewhat delusional, after all these months of chess programming; Sanny, you need a beta tester, and a compagnon to look at your code, bugs, etc. Maybe indeed it's a good idea to start from scratch again, but you obviously not listening to such advise. Now about you're claim of the mate in 16-20 in that silly 4 move game; first of all, if a program makes a move like 3.. g5 it obviously has little positional understanding; yes, it may be intended as kings attack against white, but white can simply castle queensside, and black is worse. Then in respect of making a random move after it 'sees' mate in x, this obviously is a (giant) bug, like another guy replied it still should try to delay the mate as long as possible. And.. if your program has such bug(s), how can you believe it 'saw' mate in 16-20 correctly ? anyway, i did some hours checking on my Quad, with Rybka and Deep Positional analysis with Aquarium; here's one of the best lines, i.e. defenses for black after: 1.Nc3 d5 2.d4 f6?! 3. e3 g5? 4.Bd3: 4.. Be6 and then: 5. h4 g4 6.e4 dxe4 7.Nxe4 Bf7 8.Qxg4 Qd7 9.Qxd7 Nxd7 (queens are exchanged, and both sides are going to castle long) 10.Bf4 0-0-0 11.0-0-0 e6 12.g4 Ne7 13. Nf3 h6 14. Rhg1 a6 15.a3 Nc6 16. Kb1 Be7 17.Be3 Kb8 18.Nc3 Nb6 19.Rc1 Bf8 20.Rce1 Bd6 21. Ne4 Be7 22.Nc3 Bd6 23. Ne4 Be7 24. Ng3 Bd6 25. g5 hxg5 26. hxg5 (and then fxg5) +=, score +1.17 for white according to Rybka but for a human the position looks rather equal (in material). Mate in 16-20 ? Ridiculous !! (& impossible) Now i hope you'll debug you're program before you make any more of these silly claims, otherwise it makes no sense to play your program, doesnt it ? regards, jef

Yes , a fascinating study into human nature, the amount of replies really beg belief, but I suppose Sanny is just too easy and tempting a target to vent off frustration or to indulge in a bit of easy patronizing. I await with trepidation for the day when Sanny finally comes out guns blazing revealing to all the hidden agenda behind his frighteningly consistent spamming, though I suspect he is as curious as I am to see for how long people will continue to reply to his delirious posts, lately they've been getting more crazy-ass than usual yet people still keep pounding away countering his nonsense. I mean, come on guys, mate in 16 on the 4th move, he's GOTTA be kidding now, right ? And if you really think he's serious, haven't you really got anything better to do than humour someone who obviously needs a lot more help than you will ever be able to give him in an internet forum ? For those in the know, the " Adequacy.org " guys were rank beginners compared to Sanny, who is truely venturing into art form, heck, he doesn't even need heavy moderating to do what he does ...

I'm not a social scientist, but I suspect one could do a Ph.D. by studing the behavior of such individuals as Sanny, and the behaviour of the respondants. I just selected 50 random posts on rec.games.chess.computer and found that 22, or 44% relate to Sanny and Getclub. I find the fact that this goes on for so long quite amazing. I recall once someone on the Solaris newsgroups asking questions about Solaris, which at first seemed sensible, but then it appeared he was just a total idiot. He just got ignored and went away. Perhaps Unix admins have a different attitude to life than chess players. > but I suppose Sanny is just too easy and tempting a > target to vent off frustration or to indulge in a bit of easy > patronizing. Yes, I can see that, and I understand why people might do it for a few weeks. But I would expect people to get bored of this after a while, and move on to other things. But clearly my understanding of human behaviour is not very good. > I await with trepidation for the day when Sanny finally comes out guns > blazing revealing to all the hidden agenda behind his frighteningly > consistent spamming, though I suspect he is as curious as I am to see > for how long people will continue to reply to his delirious posts, > lately they've been getting more crazy-ass than usual yet people still > keep pounding away countering his nonsense. I wonder if the medium of communication was not usenet, but verbal, whether Sanny would get as much response? For example, lets assume Sanny visited a pub or bar regularly. Would people speak to him as much, or ignore him? My experience of drinking in pubs in Britain is that such individuals as Sanny would tend to be ignored and would stand at the bar with nobody to talk to. They would not have 44% of the people in the pub talking to them every night for years. I sometimes wonder who needs the most help - Sanny or those that respond time and time again. > For those in the know, the " Adequacy.org " guys were rank beginners > compared to Sanny, Yes, they had to keep changing the subject matter to get the interest they generated.
