After a strong fight this month. Help Bot Managed to win Jan
Tournament at GetClub.

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

Here are the Top 6 players who won.

Jan 2008 Result
-------------------

1st. help bot : Points Awarded 24.8
2nd. beginner : Points Awarded 20.4
3rd. ---------Myself using Computer.
4th. jordan : Points Awarded 6.4
5th. peter : Points Awarded 5.4
6th. Mr_Phil : Points Awarded 4.3

This Time Beginner came to 2nd Position as Beginner Level was able to
beat many players. I came to 3rd position because I used computer to
play against getclub Chess.

All time Top Players at GetClub are

1) Zebediah Won: 188, Lost: 2 Rating: 1460
2) nomorechess Won: 142, Lost: 2 Rating: 1411
3) help bot Won: 228, Lost: 14 Rating: 1335

5) chrisf Won: 85, Lost: 0 Rating: 1288
6) Bonsai Won: 57, Lost: 2 Rating: 1213

Now it is very difficult to win even the Beginner Level, So it is very
difficult to get higher ratings.

What do you mean by better positional evaluation function What was the
mistake GetClub was making in Evalution?

I played another game between GetClub easy level and crafty limited to
7 ply search depth. GetClub didn't make any big tactical errors
according to crafty, but was slowly led into a losing position,
probably because crafty has a better positional evaluation function.

Craftys evaluation during the game:

Here is a complex Game by Beginner. It game away pawns for no
reasions. But on analysis on Computer I found they were correct moves
and It lost two pawns in just 15 moves. The Computer Analysis said
those were correct move, But still I feel those are wrong move.

8. Bc4-b3{10} c6-c5{12} This Move by Vlack gives away a pawn for no
reasion. But I saw for other moves too the score was -1. So whether
you sacrifice pawn or not the score is -1. Why?

10. Ke1-d1{6} Nf6-e4{6} Here again It lost a pawn. Can find whats
wrong with this move that it again loose a pawn.

I was thinking there are two errors. But on analysing on my slow
computer I found that those moves were not that bad. But still I have
doubt if anything is wrong with 10.......Nf6-e4{6} and 8. ..... c6-
c5{12}

Yes, there was an error that cause this wrong move. That error has
been removed. Analysis with Easy Level gives clear analysis.

I liked the way crafty shows its evaluation in tabular form. Now play
with Easy vs 7th depth. I think now it will be able to give good
challenge since that error has been removed.

After the game do show me the evaluation by Crafty So that I may find

OK, new game, crafty playing white this time. It seemed more or less
even, until 29 ... Nc6 30. Rxc6. I'm not sure why crafty saw that
combination and GetClub didn't. Maybe crafty has better capture/check
extension logic.

I think you try Playing with Easy Level and Crafty. And let me know
what depth of Crafty Matches with Easy Level. Easy Level will play in
20-30 seconds / Move. But the moves by Easy Level will be much decent
than Beginner Level.

But before you do that you need to to do two things.

1. Crafty use only 1 core.
2. Crafty do not think on Opponents time.

I feel Easy Level will need atleast depth 6/7 for Crafty to win.

Then let me know time taken by Crafty for playing 7 depth. GetClub
Takes 1 second to compute till 7 depth.

I played a match using only one core and no thinking on opponents
time, with the search depth set to 7. GetClub was running on a
different machine, which is about as fast as a single core on the
machine crafty was running on.

Below is an extract from craftys log file, which shows (second column)
that the thinking time is between 0.01 and 0.17 seconds. The third
column shows craftys evaluation of the position, where + is good for
white and - is good for black.

GetClub played ok until move 13. I don't see why it would play Rf3
unless there is something wrong in the quiescence search.

A few improvements were done, Now it will not play unnecesary pawn
moves. Your analysis really helping me in improving GetClub Games. Now
From today you will be seeing very good moves from GetClub Beginner.

Here is a game it played against Jester, But it lost the game despite
improvements. Look likes improvements gone in wrong direction.

Today an Improvement was done on Pawn Formation, Let me know now it
plays Pawns correctly or not.

Now it will not play pawns aimlessly. May be that helps.

I don't know. It seemed to play reasonably for a while but then
blundered in the end getting into a losing position. However it
"saved" the day by for no apparent reason declaring the game a draw
when it was in a lost position. It's not sure crafty would have found
the winning continuation with its 4 ply search depth though.

What was the depth shown by Beginner Level was it 5/6.

It shows depth of thinking like "Thinking on Bishop(5)" Meaning It is
thinking at 5 depth.

On my Computer it plays with 5-6 depth What was the depth on your
Computer?

Unfortunately I don't know. I was running GetClub chess in firefox on
linux and for some reason the font size gets so big that the text
doesn't fit in the box.

I'll play another game where I let GetClub chess play on my laptop in
windows XP instead (3.07 GHz Pentium 4 CPU), and report what happens.

I played a game like that. GetClub playing on the laptop on beginner
level, reaching 5 ply in the opening, 5-6 ply in the middle game, and
6-7 ply (with an occational 8 ply) in the end game. Crafty was running
on the linux computer with its search depth set to 5 ply, which means
its thinking time is about 0.01s using only one core. Crafty still won
pretty easily, see game below.

Is your alfa-beta algorithm working correctly? I can imagine that java
is slower than C, but it shouldn't be 500 times slower. (Or maybe
craftys "null move" search makes up for some of the speed difference.)

Subject: GetClub Easy Vs Jester 40sec/ Move.

I Played a game between GetClub Easy Level which takes 20-40 sec /
move and Jester which always takes 40 seconds/ move.

I played both with Higher level So that there is less calculation
mistake and we can see what real mistake GetClub Chess is making.

Please Analyze and let me know which were the wrong moves that must be
avoided by Black. As Black lost the game in just 56 moves despite
playing with Easy level which is one step ahead of Beginner Level.

Since Both took atleast 40 seconds per move a strong analysis will be
needed to find the mistakes in the game.

How do you know Crafty is not using all the Four Processors. And
GetClub is getting Complete one Core. May Be Crafty is taking 3.5
Cores and GetClub is using just 0.5 Core So Crafty is actually using 7
times more processing power when GetClub is moving.

And in its own move it is taking 8 times more power than GetClub is
taking.

So a total of 7+8=15 times for CPU usage. So if Crafty is using 15
times more power than GetClub then I can imagine such poor games.

I "reniced" the crafty threads so that the GetClub thread is getting
priority, and I verified with "top" that GetClub is getting 100% of
one core. (I'm using linux, I'm aware that "renice" and "top" may not
be familiar to windows users.)

I'll try some more games with crafty using only one thread and not
thinking on the opponents time to see if it makes a difference.

I played one game with crafty using only one thread, not thinking on
the opponents time, and using one second per move thinking time. This
should give GetClub a factor 10 advantage in terms of CPU time.

Crafty still got into a winning position but then GetClub cheated and
declared the game a draw after the same position was repeated two
times. (It must be repeated three times before you are allowed to
claim a draw.)

So the reasion of this horrible play is that Crafty is thinking when
GetClub Program is also thinking. So the strength of GetClub Beginner
level reduces to half. Since Beginner Level has to play in 5-10
seconds So if other program is also running simultaniously then the
strength of the GetClub Program reduced to half.

If you can switch the thinking in Opponents time then I suppose
GetClub program will make better moves. As it has to share processing
speed with the other Program. So Beginner only uses half resources.

About rest of the things you said I will talk tommorow as I have to
leave today for some work.

I'm using a quad core CPU and getclub is getting one core all to
itself. Crafty is using the other 3 cores. It doesn't look like getclub
can use more than one core, so turning off crafty's thinking on
opponents time would not make getclub stronger. (But would make crafty
weaker.)

When King has not chastled which are the pawns which should not be
moved ahead?

We prefer d4/e4 when the king is sitting just behind them. Then why we
do not like move f4/g4. Why do they weaken the King while d4/e4 do
not? Same thing is happening in both cases that is the pawns infront
of king are moved?

I do not understand what you mean by "killer move heuristic?"

The program saw a benefit of Bishop if Rxc2 after playing a2-a3. It
was only after lots of moves it was having a checkmate after 12 moves.

I am only posting Games where it is loosing you can visit GetClub and
see other games where Beginner has played very well.

That Solves the Mystry, Thats what I was wondering others are taking
80 Moves to win and you are winning in just 20-30 moves. Which Engine
you are testing with is it Fritz/ Rybka/ Chess Master ?

What is the rating of Beginner Level as per the games played by it.

I'm testing with crafty, set to an average thinking time of 5
seconds. However, it does think also when it's the oppoenents turn to
move, so the actual thinking time gets longer in the cases where
crafty correctly predicts which move the opponent will make.

> What is the rating of Beginner Level as per the games played by it.

I can't get a rating number out of the games I've played, but here are
some subjective thoughts: (Others have said similar things before.)

* It seems to prefer playing knights to a3/h3/a6/h6 too often. In
general, knights are stronger the closer they are to the center of
the board, so it should prefer c3/f3/c6/f6 instead.

* There seems to be something wrong in the quiescence search which
sometimes makes it do very bad things when the position gets
complicated. Someone gave the good advice that the quiescence search
should not stop as long as its possible to capture a piece that is
worth more than the piece used for the capture.

For a general explanation of quiescence search, see this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiescence_search

* Another possibility is that the program is vulnerable to the
"horizon effect". I've seen it do bad moves that give away more
material than necessary just to delay the loss of other material.
"Singular extensions", "capture extensions" and/or "check
extensions" might be able to solve some of these problems.

For a general explanation of the horizon effect, see this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_effect

* All in all it plays pretty decent chess for beginner level. If you
were to correctly implement all suggestions given by all people, the
program would probably be so strong that most people would not be
interested in playing against it.

However, it would be nice if the higher levels could be made
stronger without increasing the thinking time so much. The reason I
haven't tested the higher levels yet is that it would simply take
more time than I have available.

Also, regarding the "killer heuristic" asked in another post,
wikipedia has a pretty good explanation here:

I should add that I'm using a computer, mainly to test the playing
strength of the GetClub engine. I'm nowhere near that good myself.
