Peter, did your comment get cut off? Anyway, I agree with you on this. Humans are not stronger on short time settings. I believe that SOME humans could be better if they have a problem staying interested for a longer period of time and the longer time control upsets their rhythm or something. But I don't believe it's a general rule.
I did know a chess player who was a weak expert and all he did was play speed chess all day long. In tournaments with long time controls, he still played speed chess. It was crazy, finishing his games after only having used 5 or 10 minutes. He claimed that he did not need longer to think because he was always sure the move he played was the best. Of course this is completely ridiculous since he was hundreds of ELO below the best human players and even further from perfect play. - Don On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 3:58 PM, Petr Baudis <pa...@ucw.cz> wrote: > Hi! > > On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 07:19:45PM +0100, Olivier Teytaud wrote: > > For information, our Taiwanese partners(**) for a ANR grant have > organized > > public demonstration games between > > Thanks for the information! > > > MoGoTW (based on MoGo 4.86.Soissons + the "TW" modifications developped > > jointly with our Taiwanese colleagues) > > and > > C.-H.
