Hi Sedat,

yes, i know hardware and opening book gives plus elo.
But basically a huge hardware is devastating against a small hardware. Much less devastating against a superGM.
Why?
Because two engines supported by very different HW make a battle of tactics and the one who has the better HW triumphs almost always.

In matches Engines vs Humans, if the engine has a limited chess knowledge, you can give it a 20 times stronger hardware and that engine will probably keep on missing the correct positional manouevres, because it has a limited sensibility for the positional play and the add of calculation power hardly can compensate it (it depends by the position and the depth of the position anyway).
And this is very important because in match human vs engine, the human being should and must try to drive the game into a positional strategical direction, in which engines have the main difficulties.

So the difference in elo that you showed in your scheme, are obviously right, but they are related to machines vs machines, not to machines vs humans.

Basically: if engine A, with super HW and elo 3500 is 350 elo stronger than engine B, with small HW, and this same engine B has the same elo of Carlsen, we are not allowed to say that engine A is 350 elo stronger than Carlsen, for the reasons i just explained.

As regards the opening book, it is different. The impact of an opening book, if made very well, can make you win a game so i would say that it is very important.

Thank you.

Best Regards



Dear Maurizio,

Not at all...its my pleasure

Actually i agree with some of your notes,but however not with all

Especially i dont agree with you about the hardware speed's factor

Believe me,the hardware speed is playing a big role,if we are talking about Man vs Machine

I know that in 1990 years, the egines were weaker...but remember also that the hardwares were much slower too

I think this is one of the main reasons/factors about why in 1990 years GMs were stronger than the Machines

Some notes about the previous played matches-Man vs Machine:

1)In 1990 years = GMs were stronger than Chess Engines
2)In the early of 2000 years = GMs were equal to Chess Engines
3)In 2003/2004/2005/2006 = Chess Engines performed approx. 190 Elo better than GMs
4)Now we are in 2012 = We have Houdini,Rybka,Critter and much faster hardwares than the past


Kind Regards,
Sedat
