Well, after a nice vacation in Alaska, (Thank you again, Dad), TW was put back into play after disconnecting while I was gone. Evidently, it was being abused again, but I wasn't here to change variations, but still, I feel the fact that KNOWING a computer will play the same moves when you play a certain variation, is kind of like cheating at solitaire. What's the point? You prove nothing other than you have a good memory, unless you have the moves written down of course. Then it's like watching a movie over and over, you know how it's going to end... The only reason I can see that kava would continue to play the same game over and over is to gain rating points. He had done this before, I noplayed him, giving him a 2nd chance along with Smallville. But since the behavior continues... noplay again. Hopefully soon, Rybka 3.0 will be out and we will see the new anti-blockade options. Then, all will come off of noplay again. But here are 3 games by Mateus, GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (ELO 2634 in his finger notes, but may not have updated them).
I will try to update website soon. Still trying to adjust to the 3 hour time difference between Kansas and Alaska. Been keeping wierd hours as well as trying to rest. Several days up there were messed up by getting an upper respiratory infection, but the Sealaska Celebration was awesome, even though I didn't have the strength to sit for all the dancing and sick on the last day. Missed an awesome performance by the group my Dad danced with, they had a Raven Dancer, I wish I could have seen it live rather than on TV, they covered it on the local cable access channel live.
