Hi Graham
In comparison to some other (blitz) tourneys
here in Winboard forum you get very rarely
comments about your fine tournament. This lack
of interest is regrettable the more so since
some other blitz tournaments that are also not
played under Winboard-GUI received much more
attention. But please do not become desperate
as I am sure that a lot of people are nevertheless
reading your posts.

Have you ever noticed lots of strange/bad openings which happen
in some of those games?
I don't have Fritz Powerbooks (but F8 and H9 books at least),
but I can't believe a move like 1.a4? i.e. happens 5 times!
in it? What about 1.e4 g5? and 1. Nf3 g6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 d5 4. Bf4 a6?
May be you haven't ever looked into the games for yourself so far Kurt?
I picked only some games randomly BTW...

Günther

Hi Günther
I have collected some interesting games but not yet looked
at the openings. And here I found a total of 26 very strange
games. Many thank for your attention. I think Graham will be
happy about knowing this.

Hi Graham
In comparison to some other (blitz) tourneys
here in Winboard forum you get very rarely
comments about your fine tournament. This lack
of interest is regrettable the more so since
some other blitz tournaments that are also not
played under Winboard-GUI received much more
attention. But please do not become desperate
as I am sure that a lot of people are nevertheless
reading your posts.
Kurt

Have you ever noticed lots of strange/bad openings which happen
in some of those games?
I don't have Fritz Powerbooks (but F8 and H9 books at least),
but I can't believe a move like 1.a4? i.e. happens 5 times!
in it? What about 1.e4 g5? and 1. Nf3 g6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 d5 4. Bf4 a6?
May be you haven't ever looked into the games for yourself so far Kurt?
I picked only some games randomly BTW...
Regards,
Günther

Hi Gunther,
I agree that there have been some unusual openings. I put this down to the maximum variety settings used. I had hoped that setting the minimum number of games to 5 for a particular move to be played might have overcome this, but it hasn't. I don't believe that any one program has been unfairly disadvantaged though.
For the final of the tournament I intend to optimise the powerbook settings. This should overcome the problem of the odd unusual opening.
Graham.

Hi Gunther,
I have been disappointed about some of these openings also, but if you put all these strange games together, look at the white win / black win ratio. I think you'll find it's within the normal range!
However as I stated before, for the final I intend to optimise the powerbook settings, so we shouldn't see any openings like these.
Regards, Graham.
PS - I'm really pleased that you've actually taken the time to play over some of the games. Hope you've enjoyed the high standard of play despite some of the games having unusual openings.

I think there is no luck of interest, but just a luck of reposts on his posts about his tournaments. His fine presentation is just enough and as long nothing bizarre happens i don't think comments are needed. I'm sure if he will add some comments like Crafty played bad in this game or d6 was a good move, then the reposts would be multiplied.
Anyway i watch his results but in this qualifier the leader is obvious. CM9000-Judge II seems invincible!
