Just wait until you have finally solved the game (almost) and then you confidently open with 1. e4!! only to find that you lose by zugswang.
All because you overlooked the subtle 1. e3.
Originally posted by 7ate9 would a computer switch to playing openings it normally plays for white, meaning you could probably achieve the same results playing as black?
Well, that's my point. Before Fritz8 they couldn't recognise known positions with colours reversed if it was the 'wrong' player to move.
when you can regularly defeat decent HUMAN opponents (or the non-decent me) with moves like 1. c3, I might almost consider the idea a little less retarted.
When I want to beat a computer really badly, I just set it to play at a rating of 585. This way, I can beat the computer, and not think that 1. c3 is a good idea at the same time.
Originally posted by 7ate9 if Fritz8 was able to make a big advance as such, then it seems likely that it would seap in over time onto internet chess sites, causing the 'human' chess players to slowly decline. the graphs of the 'human' opponents should share a similar decline, especially if they had time to prove their ratings.
It was hardly a big advance; more a recognition by the programmers that they had omitted something.
