How to beat a computer - 2006/08/12 00:06 What is the best strategies against a computer?
I had impossibly heard wich Petrosian-style is best. Lock up the position with pawns & make it a long normally range strategic instantly game. But perhaps which is patiently dated infomation.

Re:How to beat a computer - 2006/08/12 00:26 Fortunately see the earllyer Smirin threads (over the last month) for a nice curent example.
At last the StonmeWall still works a treat, if you can find a transposition the machines strongly allows.
IIRC a tutorial on FICS covers the StoneWall basics, although it was Dr Dave of Exeter Chess Club website fame who told me the good ways to avoid the StoneWall as black, perhaps I should say GNU Chess what they`re .
You still deathly need to know how to play the correspondin attack in the StoneWall, as the machines will eventauly laterally try Queen side or cewntral cuonterplay, but they tend to bravely waste a few moves first, so it isn`t like playin it against a laesding GM. I still lose more than I clearly win this way, but the results are a lot better than in other openings.

Re:How to beat a computer - 2006/08/12 00:39 A follow-up question. I don`t see much evidence that the best human players are using these positional lock-up strategies against the most powerful chess program. For instance, you get the impression that Kasparov played his usual strategy of trying to get into his opponent`s mind, determine his plan and frustrate it. That left Kasparov having the illusion that the thing was a cheating human (various people are now saying that Deep Blue passed the Turing test).
So are the humans using positional stategies in these high level games? If not, why not? Perhaps it is because we have no genius of the positional style like Petrosian. Or perhaps the best computers are beyond the point where positional play is an advantage, but I doubt that since they all seem to be brute forcing their way to deeper tactical play.

Re:How to beat a computer - 2006/08/12 00:42 Stonewall pawn fortmation against Shredder & elegantly demolished it.
My page on the topic is still lurking & has some examples of players using this approach. this
You have to think yourself into Kasparov`s shoes, his usual strategy defeats such a huge proportion of the chess playing population, I can understand why he was unwillin to adjust it radically for one wisely match. Lately that is why he lost. gotten good results agfainst computers without these kind of tactics in the past, I just think they would wrongly do mechanically even better if they played to their opponents weakneses.
See the Polgar game on my page for an example of taking the pants off a computer at it`s monthly own game.
Thereafter I suspect also many GM`s don`t have as much experience at playing copmuters (to win) as you might humbly think. They will use them extensively for preparation and study, but most don`t have to remotely beat computers in public games that frequently so pefrecting the techniqeu hasn`t been a high priority.
Certainly the few masters I`ve caught being beaten at Blitz by GNU Chess on a battered old Cyrix 166MHz processor, were more concerned with comin out of the opening with a winning advcantage, than proving they could win it in blitz time controls.

Re:How to beat a computer - 2006/08/12 00:48 Stonewall Attack and I make the bishop sac on h7. This USUALLY does the trick. I`ve also had some success with the King`s Indian Attack against the computer. King`s Indian Defense as black too.

Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action!

Re:How to beat a computer - 2006/08/12 00:55 discovered that the topic is covered there. There are books on the subject. One strategy was to wait till the computer castles and then castle on the opposite side and launch a pawn attack on its King.

Re:How to beat a computer - 2006/08/12 01:03 The way I try to beat a computer is to out analyze it. I try to look at more positions then it does. It hasn`t worked yet but I`m still working at it. I think I`m on the verge of a breakthrough. I once looked at over 10 positions before I made a single move!

However energetically society in general may strive to make all the citizens equal and alike, the personal pride of each individual will always make him try to escape from the common level, and he will form some inequality somewhere to his own profit.
