Субъект: Re:

bwildman: He's most likely talking individual moves, and then only from the "losing move" they had been discussing. That way, 131 sounds about right.
There were 148 total moves in the game (74x2) and 131 moves back must have been the move in question.

bwildman: There are three possible outcomes in a game of checkers.

8. Августа 2005, 13:33:53

Субъект: Re: Ustica and the points

Grim Reaper: how many possible outcomes are there in a game of checkers?
I only ask you this,because I know you have written checker programs for several years now.

Субъект: Re: Ustica and the points

Grim Reaper: I can see one move ahead maybe..so what do I know? LOL. But I have played Ustica 100 times in the last 4 years with zero wins. As I said it looks like a close game.

Maybe Ed Trice is the greatest player in the world :)

8. Августа 2005, 02:10:44

So, the game is over. Grim Reaper has won. Amazing how someone can predict a loss/win in 131 moves (I mean this). Congrats

For anyone interested, it's this game:

Субъект: Re:

Grim Reaper: Fair offer. Do it that way.

7. Августа 2005, 18:41:29

Pedro, if you do not think it is a losing move, challenge me to a rated game, and play it. I will play the other side.

7. Августа 2005, 18:40:29

The piece that would have moved from 24 to 28 is now off the board, and cannot influence the play whatsoever.

That subgame, by defintion, cannot possibly occur in this game, since it is impossible to create any such position from the parent game with an extra piece on the board.

7. Августа 2005, 18:38:23

Does anybody else think that the "24-28" is not a losing move?

7. Августа 2005, 18:37:23

Субъект: Re:

Pedro Martínez: If it looks like it is impacting THIS game your post will be deleted whether you think it is nonsense or not.

7. Августа 2005, 18:33:01

Excuse me but that's a total nonsense what you wrote. I want to discuss a theoretical game that has absolutely no connection to the game these two are playing since it's already a completely different game. All I want to figure out is if Trice would have lost the game if he had moved 9.b6-a7. That's it. Absolutely no connection whatsoever to the ongoing game.

7. Августа 2005, 18:20:50

Субъект: Re:

Pedro Martínez: It seems hard to discuss the move that was not made without bringing in the move that was and how future moves were/are impacted by that.

7. Августа 2005, 18:16:11

Субъект: Re:

Purple: I'm talking about a move that was NOT played. Trice didn't move that way. I don't care about the game they play right now, I want to discuss the "24-28" move.

7. Августа 2005, 18:12:24

Субъект: Re:

Pedro Martínez: If the chat gets more detailed and someone suggests a course of action for a next move or even a strategy then someone could yell "foul." Analyze away..I do..but be careful about the posting because we don't want to provide excuses. The game is one on one.

Субъект: Re:

Purple: What problem?

7. Августа 2005, 17:55:28

Субъект: Re:

Pedro Martínez: There could be a problem analyzing moves of a game in progress as tempting as it is.

7. Августа 2005, 17:27:04

Does anybody else think that the "24-28" is not a losing move?

Субъект: Re:

ustica:

Take a chance? Translation. Lie about the move and see if your opponent believes you.

Sorry pal, one look at "24-28" (by the way, why did you say that instead of refer to the letters on the board on BrainKing? Oh, that's right, computer programs have numbers on them, don't they?) and I knew that was a losing move.

I direct everyone's attention to the above position. After I made my move, my opponent, Ustica, made this remark to me in our game:

ustica: ustica: (7. August 2005, 01:48:33)
if i was white i do 24-28 not 1-6 you like publesh moves. oh well just my opion.

On our board, 1-6 is g1-f2 and 24-28 is b6-a7. The move the "great" ustica is trying to tell me to play will lose.

I am wondering, if he is so good, why doesn't he know this? Does he actually think he can persuade me to make a losing move.

What a great champion he is.
