1978-81 CC World Championship Fritz analysis

10th Correspondence Chess World Championship 1978-1981

I think it’s fair to say that this is possibly the final truly pre-computer era correspondence chess World Championships, so let’s see how close the top 3 finisher’s get to the mythical top 1/2/3 matches of 60%/75% & 85%...

1st Place
Victor Palciauskas
2nd Place
Juan Morgado
3rd Place

The games are classed as “out of book” if I cannot find the game position in the 2 million+ game chesslab database prior to the start of these 1978 championships.

very nice work! it's worth noticing that several games have rates beyond 90 percent... the question then is: is a player with a 90 percent rate (on a few games, not on average) surely a computer user, surely not, or unsure, sometimes?

Hi.
Human players can sometimes get 100% top 3 matchup in 1 or 2 games, but the point is that these levels cannot be sustained over any period of time.
It's the high average over many games that is the telltale sign of engine use.

Top 3 matchup cannot be used to detect someone who only uses an engine rarely - it's only real use is for detecting blatant engine users.

I think the best value to get out of engine match up is against positional games. This is where high match ups are pointing towards foul play. High match up of tactical play indicates good tactical awareness and not necessarily cheating.

I wondered but never bothered to ask a while ago. Could it be the case that masters and GMs have a quite high match up not because they can only sustain engine quality moves for a short period but that in actual fact, apart from blunders, the different move choices are actually better??

My point being could players who are weaker than GMs (and thus not able to spot these moves that the engines too missed), actually legitimately have a higher engine move match-up than GMs simply because they are not good enough to spot improvements? The implications obviously being how can we be sure of this and so are all banned players on this site banned fairly?

On a quick pc the modern engines very rarely miss much - even in 30 second infinite analysis with top 3 moves. They're rated 3000 elo or thereabouts for a reason.

I'd say on average perhaps 1 move in every couple of games clearly "out-Fritzes" the engine, by which I mean that a move it had discounted early on in the 30 second process (or in the hash tabling from previous moves) outscores Fritz's top 1 choice by a significant margin.
Fritz quickly recognises the mistake & re-evaluates.
I've analysed hundreds of top human games & this has never happened twice in a single game.
This means that the results of many hundreds of non-database moves aren't skewed at all by these "out-Fritzing" moves.

On another forum, someone who is apparently a qualified statistician claimed that to be fair I should sample all levels of ability because lower rateds may have higher matchup rates than the GM's I'm looking at...
I pointed out that the engine is 3000 Elo rated, and a lower rated (say 1500) player getting massively high engine matchups would have to conspire to blunder away game after game to remain a lower rated!
This wasn't good enough for our man, so I randomly picked a 1500 rated & analysed the games.
Needless to say, both his & his similarly rated opponents both had very low matchup rates in the games!

What of moves that would be chosen by grandmasters because it leads to a favourable endgame, for instance, where the engine simply will not see that it is the best, second or third best move in the position? How would these moves be found by a non gm or an engine and taken into account? I suspect these types of moves are common, a few a game i would think

I'm not a good enough player to recognise these types of subtle strategic nuances.

What I would say though is that the whole point is that the engines play many positions differently to human players (for example, often going for a sharp, winning line when a strong GM might simplify & retain a safe & solid advantage) & that is the whole point of deciding when a matchup rate in many games indicates engine use or not.

Engines do fundamentally play differently to even the best human players, as I think I have shown in many of these threads.
