1.ZOR_CHAMP TEAM
Nice win with one point lead! J Chrilly Donninger creator of Hydra
and maybe also: GM Christopher Lutz, GM Talib Mousa … and perhaps also The Hydra Sponsor
himself. |
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. |

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). |
4. KING CRUSHER RYBKA 1.1
by lukasd2009 CC |
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 |
5-6. VVARKEY RYBKA 1.1
|
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! JCorrespondence 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. For their report about qualifications click here: www.volny.cz/evcomp/evcturn.htm |
