2.RAJLICH TEAM

 

Is a chess game a draw? J

Being never in danger to lose a game we (Rybka engine+Krasenkow, Rybka engine+Rajlich, Rybka engine+Radziewicz) managed to win only two, but still it was a lot of fun and learning to us both about chess and chess engines (especially how to use them to analyze).

We would like to see the Free Style Internet Tournament take place more frequently with longer time control – which makes competition Human & Computer more interesting for the human players.

 

3. RELIC RYBKA 1.1

RybkaJ ! RybkaJ ! RybkaJ !

Darren DiAlfonso computer programmer from New Jersey, USA – played Rybka 1.1 on fast 64 bit machine. He took third and the prize of $2000. To get to the final Relic had to win very hard tiebreaks… (one spot for 10 players from which 6 were unattended Rybkas like him).

Crushing Kings is my specialty!
J Björn Osterman from Sweden operated unattended Rybka 1.1  It looks to me that he has pretty good opening book.

 

 

5-6. KLOSTERFRAU TEAM

by Wine Diva CC

Overruling engine just in the right moment! J

IM Dennis Breder 2431 ELO, professional chess player and trainer from Germany, choose a “nunn” as his nickname. The Nunn happened to play at least two nice sacrifices, which engines did not “see or prefer” at first glance… - I mean in “low” depth… 15 or so… J

Why not this time? J

Vigi Varkey is a computer programmer from Bangladesh staying in London UK, who won qualifications with incredible score 7,5 from 8 (!) operating Rybka engine on 32 bits machine... For the final he had upgraded to 64-bit machine, but he had not enough luck to win this time.

 

 

7. CIRON TEAM

by T. Scott CarlisleCC

Let’s give humans more time! J

Correspondence GM Arno Nickel is a great fan of playing as a centaur.

He wrote very interesting report about Freestyle Chess on: www.chessbase.com/eventarticle.asp?newsid=2984.

 



                       8. EQUIDISTANCE TEAM

Cool opening sacrifices – that’s what matters! J

Equidistance is a Czech team who really like brave opening sacrifices!

I had to admit Equidistance can be very dangerous playing with white Morra Gambit  1.e4 c5 2. d4!? c:d4 3. c3! gives in my opinion excellent attacking possibilities for white and it is undervalued by nowadays theory.
