Sign your name if you are in. We will have a bracket if we can get enough people to play. It will be run on chess.com, real easy and free to sign up. Unfortunately I'm not a premium member so I can't make an actual tournament. It will have to be scored and recorded here. If anybody is, please speak up. Winner gets pride and satisfaction at besting other OT'ers When you sign up, please state your chess.com name OFFICIAL PLAYER LIST: BruceWayne69- porkandcheese JimShorts- Jim_Vincent_Lamar pariah3- dani1234567 Dave- ??? ?????-brucewayne69 Schedule for right now: BruceWayne69 (of gamespot, ME) vs. BruceWayne69 of chess.com (likely Dave) Pariah3 vs. JimShorts----- WINNER: JimShorts

Thing about chess online is all the cheating. What's stopping me from using chessmaster, setting up a bot game with bobby fisher...the moves you make, i make against him, and i use his moves against you?

I used to play on yahoo all the time, had a really high rating and found out most of the high rated players cheat like crazy. Now I only play in person.

Chessmaster is a weak chess engine compared to Houdini 3 Pro, Komodo 5, Deep Hiarcs 14 and Deep Fritz 13 from Chessbase. You can buy Houdini 3 Pro in Chessbase.

Well it's yet to be decided. It depends on time constraints, and obviously people on OT live all over the world. Likely we will do an "online chess" game tournament, where I'll set it to two days per move, otherwise you lose. Might do double elimination if we don't get a lot of people

I'm interested, I'd need to make an account though.

I'd vote for around 24 hours to make a move. Live would be difficult.

I think we'll do the 24 hours per move, but hopefully people will make moves faster than that.

Chess engines still make a lot of positional mistakes and many positions they just don't understand very well.

In his match against Deep Blue, Gary Kasparov demonstrated that humans are much better at evaluating certain kinds of chess positions that chess engines still just don't quite understand yet. Humans are also very good at recognizing repeating chess patterns which chess engines are quite incapable of doing yet.

They have come a long way but they can still be defeated by an experienced and talented enough player like Gary Kasparov, Magnus Carlsen or Vladimir Kramnik for example.

And yes I am in for the tourney. My username on Chess.com is Dani1234567 so you can sign me in with this username.

Yes. You can play pariah. His account is dani1234567. It is an "online chess" game, with 3 days per move. At least that's how "brucewayne69" set it up and challenged me, and it wouldn't be fair with different parameters. And in the chat just make sure it's him and he knows it's you
