Human Like Play

[soxthecat]

I'ld like input from others as regarding human like play.

I'm just a beginer, so I can't really tell that much, but if you have a high rating how human like do you feel the play is?

Could you tell you were playing a program if you did not know??

Thanks for input!

I am a bonafide patzer myself but I think I can sort of tell....

For years Shredder was (IMO) the best engine to play against as it did not just make goofball errors and even the games I won felt like good games.

For the longest time (and I mean no disrespect) I always felt Haircs was too merciless at lower levels.

But so far (and it is only a few games) I think Hiarcs 14 is a good opponent to train against. The game play does not seem impossible to beat at lower levels nor does it seem to easy to beat.

That is the only way I can really tell.

For instance, Junior is not that good of an opponent (great analysis partner) but it just moves fast and asks for a draw at lower levels.

Shredder, and now Hiarcs have put real effort into making game play at ELO levels interesting, and as realistic as possible.

This is a game I played early today with Deep Hiarcs 14. Game was played in a 1 minute each side + 7 sec. increment for each move. Me and the engine were both Hiarcs rated 1717 when playing this game. Game finished as draw by mutual agreement. Hiarcs, every one knows him. Me, I am a 47 years old chess amateur, playing the game since 1978.

Question is: Do you know who is the man and who is the machine? If you are not sure about, this means the machine played an human like chess game.

I guess that you were White and Hiarcs was black.
