Congrats to Hiarcs team for the second place!

As it seems the opening in the direct encounter decided the WC...
(Well, not exactly: to win with the black pieces was a too big task anyway. But the opening was sub-optimal...)

It seems that the opening preparation against Rybka was not optimal to say the least. Will there be some post game comments?

[IA]

Impressive Hiarcs's game with only 8 Cores and 32 bits, Hiarcs is a haughty program and is the morality winner of the tilt.

Congratulations to the whole equipment(team) and especially for his excellent engine , the near time was winning the genius of Mark

¡¡ Congratulations!!

Congrats to the Rybka Team for winning! Congrats to the HIARCS TEAM for what is still an impressive performance!!!

Saturday 4 oct:
Worldanimalday. Be nice to little fish (Rybka). Now that I used the laundryservice, it seems that everybody got a knock on their door before 9:00, asking if there is something for the laundry. That will be fun tomorrowmorning. Some of the operators will probably get drunk. Not me though. I don't drink. I had a good preparation to make Rybka feel more at ease. I grew a 7-day old beard to look more like Vasik. Ok, I should also lose 40-50 kilo's and have a beautiful girlfriend by my side. Furthermore I don't eat little fish. Hiarcs is quite nice by playing a bad openingline and Rybka has used only 25 minutes before Harvey resigns. That is the problem as a Rybka operator' you always have to wait so long for the next round. David Levy announces that lunch is on the ICGA. Damn, I wanted to skip lunch. So fruitplatter it is. With one round to go Rybka is already champion. Which is good, because Junior, opponent in the last round, is not so nice for animals. Junior gets a very good position, but doesn't see how to proceed. Then Rybka surprises with a rook sacrafice. The evaluation is 0.00 and with such a big material disadvantage and a mate in 1 threat, that can only mean one thing: perpetual check. Junior says +3.59 for 20 moves and doesn't see it. Hiarcs and shredder are also analyzing the position and they agree with Rybka. The rest of the evening nothing much happened, only a waitress forgetting to bring my coke.

Congratulations to the Hiarcs team that now have established itself the main contender to Rybka. It was a pity that the Rybka-Hiarcs game was mainly decided in the opening before the engine really had a chance to show its strength.

I notice that there only are two zeros out of the 45 entries over the diagonal in the final table. I think that the final outcome reflect the current ranking well even though the final result obviously could have been different had Hiarcs run on 40 cores instead of 8.

On the Rybka forum

http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=7738

Vas suggested that this extra hardware advantage gave Rybka an additional 100 rating which obviously is crucial at the top level.

[Dark Horse]

[Dark Horse]
