GM Zhang Pengxiang (China) ELO 2636 ICC 3240, ended TransWarp's two day dry spell without a game by playing 3 games. As TW won all 3, I don't want him to think I am rubbing it in by posting all of the games, I will just post the last game. I have great respect for all those who play TransWarp and posting a bunch of wins by TW instead of a good game by the player, may seem disrepective. Far from the truth, as I have said before, I hope the people do well, as soon it will be so bad with the faster processors and stronger programs, that they just might feel it's not worth the time. Sure, I hope the program does well, but we can still wish for mankind to overcome. zpx (ICC handle for Zhang Penxiang) is a first time player of TransWarp, I'm glad he took the challenge, I would wake up each morning to see if anyone had played, only to see the pieces still in the starting position. But even with a formula that allows people rated 700 points below TransWarp to play (I've seen one with a formula of 350 below, not risking playing people who will only give up 1pt per loss, too worried about that 31 rating point loss if it loses and 15 point loss if it draws someone 650 points below them....) it's tough to find players because with TW's rating at 3793 now, one must be rated 3093 to play, that's getting up there in ratings..and a lot of the higher rated GM's (like depressnyak) won't give it a try at the risk of losing 9 points or so. He is the #2 player in ICC in blitz, and #1 human at 2. 3636 depressnyak. But it does show his dominance over other human players, although there is controversy about that..I won't go into what people think, I just wish he might give TransWarp a try. But I'm sure he won't waste time with "just a computer". I have to respect that.

RE: FTC Blogger Compensation Endorsement Rule Dec 01, 2009
While TransWarp Chess does get compensation for banner ads from Google Adsense, Google Affiliate Program, Commission Junction Affiliate Program and Allposters.com. TransWarp Chess does try not to personally Endorse any specific product, while I the blogger may like the idea of certain products and services, it is up to you, the reader to decide if a product deserves to be looked at via the ads. I comment on chess and computer chess, this blog is NOT about the products that are featured in the ads. At any rate, to date TransWarp Chess' blog and the small sister blog Paranormal Questions, has in it's account $1.59 from Google Adsense, no distribution of funds until $50.00, $0.00 from Google Affiliate Program and $0.00 from CJ Affiliate Program, $5.74 in holding at Allposters.com until $25.00 is reached in commissions. All this well over a year of blogging, I guess some abuse the blogging system to the point that this rule was made, I hope this satisfies the FTC regulation, as to what I heard on the site, it sounded like if the blog itself was dedicated to a specific product/s. But best to be safe.
