One Smallville Blitz game

Here's one of the Smallville blitz games, this one is where the Grandmaster mind knows much more than the patzer (my) mind.  According the Rybka, he was just -0.24 at a depth of 21, but I used a little more analysis time than the game would have allowed, at an earlier eval at a depth of 18 the score was -0.50 or half a pawn.  However, GM Nakamura could easily see the position's potential and the chance of winning or drawing in what short time he had to look at it just by his pure chess knowledge.  What we look at (the average player) there is no reason to quit just yet, but to the mind of someone who can visualize far ahead and see weaknesses and strong points that we can't comprehend in such a short time, it's I guess a better position for black and not worth the effort to fight a machine that can evaluate blitz just as fast, only in a different way.  He has the brain power just to look at a position and know it's potential, while the computer has to go through algorithms using fast cpu power, but not actually KNOW what it's doing.  That is what makes the human mind an awesome thing and to see a person who CAN beat the machine do it, makes my day.  Contrary to the popular thought, I am not someone who takes a loss by his computer badly, in fact when I see it done live, it's the most enlightening thing to see.  Someday, this won't happen and probably Chess 960 will have to be the computer's realm, but now is a point where the power of the human mind to prevail is still there and great to see in action.  Computer vs Computer is cool if you can afford the computers that do this battle now, I cannot, so I enjoy still watching Man vs Machine and secretly rooting for Man. When Man has no chance or the game is solved to a draw, sadly this crucial time will be gone, it's nearly there already, probably is with the real high end machines battling each other.  Think of when Kasparov played Fritz3D, that program would get toasted now but it was one of the most watched matches ever.  Ah, the days of the old Radio Shack magnetic press and move consoles, put them on level 6, the one I had, I would move, go to class, come back and it still hadn't moved.  Any lower, I would beat it most of the time.  Now this age...I  will enjoy watching TransWarp get beaten, knowing that sadly, there are computers out there that Grandmasters will be lucky to get a draw against.

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.

Not much to say, a disabled dude who blogs when he can for fun and some spare change, really that's what it's been so far, spare change! But that's life, doing this helps it go by a little less painful by keeping my mind occupied. A tumbleweed would do that at this point :P Have fun and Take Each Day as a Gift!
