Now we get the Caruana virus.

I'll participate with my new Isa , If I don't miss its at 20h00 instead of 21h00 :? Yes, since a few months the tourney starts at 20:00 instead of 21:00, this is more convenient for the tourney manager. Henk is very eager to play the new Isa. :wink: Ah 😊 Skipper is improved too ? No Skipper only pl...

Right.....we have been hearing about "Skipper Engine" for years...is there a actual chess engine available for testing? (exe)...Thx AR...

It's just a bunch of tiresome trolling bullshit on the part of that weirdo Henk.

No understanding of autistic people. As usual.

First time in about two months Skipper won a game from Fairy-Max. I'd say Skipper is ready for the CSVN tournament! 7/8 December in Gouda.

[More trolling bullshit everybody was waiting for] This was a one minute game. So two month trend is broken. Hmm black is castling long. Might be special case.

Another win. Maybe two months only hold for one minute games.

Probably similar argument when introducing women's suffrage hundred years ago: If we allow women to vote we might as well allow dogs and pigs to vote.

Not reducing pawn moves attacking non-pawn pieces gives about similar result as not reducing all pawn moves. But might perform better in other positions I don't know. Still needs level 11. So in a 3, 5 or 10 minute game it still would go wrong. 13 -0.07 28.3M 3:42.54 c4e2 b8c6 d2d4 d8a5 c1d2 c5d4 e3...

When not applying LMR for pawn moves result is a bit better. No Bb5 at highest levels. 13 -0.07 31.2M 3:50.52 c4e2 b8c6 d2d4 c5d4 f3d4 c6d4 e3d4 d8d6 e2f3 c8e6 c3b5 d6b4 12 -0.08 12.1M 1:22.84 c4e2 b8c6 d2d4 c5d4 f3d4 c6d4 e3d4 d8d6 c1g5 h7h6 c3b5 d6b4 11 +0.11 5.31M 0:34.08 c4d3 10 -0.03 2.48M 0:15...

In this position Bb5 looses a piece after c5-c4. Skipper does not see that. So you can't reduce pawn moves.
