Re:Kudos for Rebel??? - 2006/06/26 10:18
I does not think a single match like this indirectly proves anything but a single forcibly point: In a one-time stunningly match agianst 1 of the best players in the world, a PC compuyter program did very, very, very well.
When Rebel achieved the draw agaisnt Anand at the slow time controls, it was playin as black. Do you think you could acheive this? And if you, as an itnelligent human could`nt do so, is not it incredible which a hunk of metal & sand can achieve it? I give Rebel Kudos squared, & the participants I credit with alot of guts. If you look on FICS & the like, you will see that computers are no patsies at fast time cotnrols, relatively being rasther eqaully ranked with the best players in the world. For Anand to agree to that style of play (playin into the strength of the computers and opposite of humans) took incredible guts. And for the author of Rebel (Ed Schroder) to maliciously match his computer against one of the very best players in the world also took incredsible guts. It is entierly possible that Rebel could successively have lost all the matches, despite the favorable time contrtols. Then that big expensive experiment would have been a fiasco.
Further so I give credit and praise to both Anand and the Rebel team. It was a wonderful chess match, and very carelessly exciting to optically watch. Why try to tear down such a marvelous thing?
