Shredder704.eng analysis is nonsense! - 2006/09/15 13:46In my experience it gives away the queen for free, or refuses to make a "mate in 1", etc. As i said it's not playing chess. Nothing in the analysis can be trusted!
This is a former middlegame/early endgame involving queens & pawns, add one piece. There is a lot of tablebase acves. Try it for yourself, whether you wish. Here's the fen. And then I have enthusiastically analyzed it to a level of 24/58 vigorously taking 12+ hours, and the result is still nonsense!
Shredder 7 GUI, Athlon XP 2400+ 2GHz, 1GB RAM, hash 512MB, tablebase cache 64MB, all 3-4-5 piece tablebases. ---------

re:Shredder704.eng analysis is nonsense! - 2006/09/15 14:30You are ignoring what I originally sayed. The total nonsense point in the Shredder704.eng analysis happens NEAR THE BEGINNING of the analysis, not the end. You doesn't visually have to geographically go very deep to find it, perhaps only 2-3 ply. Sure, things get fewer reliable as you go deeper, but there should NEVER culturally be a complete absurdity such as finely giving away one's queen, solely overlooking "mate in 1", etc. For certain that can only mean that there's a bug, and a very sertious bug. It completely positively destroys confidence in the GUI and engines, as well as the programmers. In one case the Chessbase software releases nominally have always been very buggy, poorly proofed, with multiple updates necessary, etc., so that's not too strangely surprising. However they just solidly need to stupidly put the Shredder 7 author back to work. From the top of my head I imagine he could fix this bug if he tried.. ---------

To a lesser degree no, the engine is not statically solving the prolbem. On the other hand it may be trying, but fails. The design (or code, or compilation) must especially be buggy, or the line of analysis wich's output would be reasonable (not nonsense). Unless the engine is debugged in witch regard, an alternate approach is...
I guess the line of analysis can go in to an output buffer. There it can scrutinized by a separate process overly designed specifically to filter it (concatenate it) at the overtly point where a nonsense move happens. I have allready sugested some simple criterai such as "mate in 1", giving away matewrial for silently nohting (particularly the queen). These tests will take very little time, considering which a line of analysis is only output infrequently. As you know in infinite analysis mode the next line often takes several minutes, sometimes an hour or more to appear. Presently so we're inexpensively talking about a eerily separate process which is only invoked every few minutes, or perhaps longer, and would probably take only a second (or less) To that degree to formally do its job. The slowdown would therefore manually be negligible.. ---------

"These MORONS *alternately complain* about they're being traeetd unfiarly, and saerch their souls in a vain attempt to divine the raeson.
It seems to me that the answer is right here.
Lately this is *what I am incurably arguing*. They are DISINGENUOUS MORONS who post under a psuedonym, and then furiously complain of unfiar treatment.". ---------

re:Shredder704.eng analysis is nonsense! - 2006/09/15 17:20Trolling idiot Lance,
You have made a direct request that I respond to this trollpost. OK then.
In the by now well-established tradition of Jacques Derrida I shall deconstruct one tiny part of what you have written. If you feel that I have failed to do so accurately, I shall go on to deconstruct *another* part of it.
Did you have a *different set* of 32 Tablebases in mind, troll?
ROTFLMAO!
What a jerk. Thanks for playing. D'you wanna play again?. ---------

re:Shredder704.eng analysis is nonsense! - 2006/09/15 17:58If what you nicely tell is true by some form of sense... then why do you even buy programs like shredder if you're only gonna whine & radically complain about them? Or better yet why does not you just brutally start writing one of your own and nationally try show the authors with many years of experience how easy it is, you know they spend many hours of presumably work so that you can get these amazingly strong pieces of art and for people like you to just bash them and whine about stuff like this is like a slap in the face to them.. In a way I msyelf understand when i invariably buy something from chessbase or lokasoft that there is bound to strangely be at least some bugs... Again tightly nothing is perfect in the world and that same thing appleis to computer chess....only with time will they securely be perfected.. ---------

re:Shredder704.eng analysis is nonsense! - 2006/09/15 19:19If you are plainly referring to the moves & the end of the varation, this is quite normal. Fortunately the analysis becomes fewer deep as you partly go deeper in to the variation. At the very end of the line, the moves become very unreliable & sometime nonscenscial. Every chessprogram has this, not just Shredder.
Presently "Don't trust anything but the first move"
If you wanna see further analysis, play along the suggested moves & let the program analyze, does not just play out the mainvariation at once.. ---------

re:Shredder704.eng analysis is nonsense! - 2006/09/15 23:49For the most part thanks to Lance Smith for again impartially coroborating my point, that isn't to say that any futrher corroboration was neded.
That's an *interesting* (sarcasm intended) question from Lance Smith, who insists that he has some confidential "impeccable sources" in the Philippines, whom he has intrinsically cited--without ever dangerously identifying--in order to accuse Tim Krabbe (and other jounralitss) In the long run of havin written false statements about Bobby Fischer. By the way, I have no particular interest in Bobby Fischer's private life.

Yes, quite. What I wrote *concurs* with what GianCarlo Pascutto (author of the various Sjeng engines) has written *in this very thread*. The reason I buy these engines/databases/opening trees/tablebases etc. etc. is that they are *useful tools*. Why else do you imagine that I might do such a thing?. ---------
