Rybka 4 vs Houdini 1.02 - Long TC Match - LIVE BROADCAST

[S.Taylor]

Thanks!

By the way, anyone else having problems viewing the pgnviewer on the website? I don't understand, it stopped working all of a sudden.

With the current game, on my computer, it needs reloading for every update. Previous games, i don't know how to access at all.

Now, its at move 39 game 4. Isn't it disgustingly annoying that White does not move his pawn on c3 to c4, to support the bishop? Is this in order not to make the bishop bad? If so, it is very eccentric!

editing:
It just now did!
But i think it was unnecesary to have avoided it earlier, and instead to have dedicated the whole queen for its protection.

That's a relief. Same thing at my site. Spent some time investigating. Assume now Chess Tempo have a server issue.

I wouldn't get too worked up. Position has been a dead draw for 10 moves now, since move 33-34. Dumb engines will probably play another 20 moves though.

Now it seems to have stopped completely. It's stuck on move 78 game 4, several hours now.

The PGN-viewer is working now.

Game 4 has been restarted due to power issues leading to the broadcast being halted.

Thanks. It is very interesting. So game 4 was not legitimate?

Rybka looks like it's about 15 elo points better than Houdini. This is a guess.

If there was any way to resume halted game in the CB GUI, game 4 would be legit. But unfortunately, if something happens during the game and it's halted, there's no way to resume it from where it stopped. You have to start all over.

Although the decision is yours, it is worth noting that they had been playing a dead drawn position for more than 40 moves. The final position was an opposite colored bishop ending with nothing in it.
