Re: The 64-cup
Hi,
third match in round 2 for group 2 is: Excalibur Ivan The Terrible against Scisys Chess Companion III. According to the current ranking of both computers in my private list, the odds are 6.6 to 1 in favor of Ivan, featuring a fast H8@12Mhz versus the weaker Companion III with a rather limited 6301Y@2Mhz. But it runs a Kaplan/Barnes program I am found of... And  the small Scisys gets a full point from the match and, cherry on the cake, gets this win with dark pieces!!This was the first game, in which Ivan slowly built an expected win, until a first noticeable mistake on move 49. It was during the endgame phase, known to be a weakness from Nelson's program, and the position required positional awareness rather than material calculation. Ivan missed the opportunity to achieve the win; nevertheless a draw was still possible. But a similar positional choice occured few moves later, same mistake repeated from Ivan and the game is now lost. On the revenge game, no such a chance for the Chess Companion III: a mistake in the early endgame leaves it with some material disadvantage Ivan could easily turn into a win.

Hi Tibono,
Thanx for this match! Interesting to know that my very first chess computer, the Tandy 1850, could be able to beat such a computer once in a while!  Regards, Paul

Re: The 64-cup
Hello,
good afternoon all, round 2 for group 2 is now completed, with two wins for the King Performance facing Rebell 5. Not an unexpected result, with 700+ CElo for the de Koning mighty device! Nevertheless a good game as White for the Schröder bomber from 1986; with a rather balanced game until move 40 or so. Actually, move 40 is the first clear mistake from Rebell 5: good job, Ed! Unfortunately, the second game is far from the above: a miniature one, completed in less then 20 moves. Already three to four moves after leaving its opening book, the Rebell is in bad shape, lacking King safety. And the King program can be merciless...

Re: The 64-cup
Hi,
third round starts with Fidelity Chess Challenger 7 facing the Novag Chess Champion Delta-1. Both belong to the same era, and it was fun to watch their very similar red displays side to side. Similarity stops there, the Delta-1 is no fierce opposition to the CC7  . Two points for Ron's best seller.

Re: The 64-cup
Good evening guys,
next match is an easy one for the Novag Constellation Expert: the Novag Octo. The only fear I have is: these two points gained won't weigh much in the S/B calculation that I expect will be important for the final ranking of group 2 participants. I want to play more with the wonderful Constellation Expert!

Re: The 64-cup
Hello, good morning,
I have good news to share; I trust they will please Paul in addition to all lovers of the Constellation Expert and PSH (including myself). The fact is the small Kaplan program powering the Companion III (and the Tandy 1850 ) managed to get half a point from its match against the Rebell 5, that's an achievement! Even more impressive, it had an edge since late middlegame, was one Pawn up in the endgame, but the position was still risky with both Queens still on board; thus I consider smart it repeated moves for a draw (maybe not that knowingly, though  ).As a consequence, the Rebell with 3.5 points stands now behind the Expert (4 points) and I trust Ivan will not be able to increase the 3 points it owns so far, as the last match for group 2 will be against the King Performance... Therefore, you may consider the Expert is qualified for the main competition.  The second game is interesting as well; the Companion III playing as Black resists fiercely during 45 moves before commiting a deadly blunder  .

Re: The 64-cup
...and here is the resulting tournament table for group 2:
Code:
1. Millenium The King Performance (lv N-5) 6 points 2. Novag Constellation Expert (lv 10) 4 points 3. Mephisto Rebell 5 (lv 2) 3.5 points, S/B 13.25 4. Scisys Chess Companion III (lv 3) 3.5 points, S/B 4.75 5. Excalibur Ivan the Terrible (lv 48) 3 points 6/7. Fidelity Chess Challenger 7 (lv 2) and Novag Octo (lv 4), 2 points 8. Novag Chess Champion Delta-1 (lv 15s), no points Now, let's introduce group 3, where the Vonset / Femuey L6-v2 is the seeded player: - Saitek Calculator Chess - Saitek Turbo King II - Vonset / Femuey L6-v2 - Yeno 320XT - Fidelity Champion Sensory Chess Challenger - Fidelity Sensory Chess Challenger 9b - Fidelity Mini Sensory Chess Challenger + CAC - Novag Chess Champion Super System III Well, I guess the L6-v2 and Turbo King II should qualify, and I am keen of watching how both Champion Sensory and Sensory 9b will fare... Who will deserve entering the consolation cup? Let's figure it out... MfG, Tibono

Re: The 64-cup
Hello all,
first match is unbalanced, with close to 800 CElo points difference between the minuscule Calculator Chess and the Turbo King II (D+ program). At least they share the same brand, Saitek... Surprisingly, the Calculator Chess plays relatively smart as White for 20-25 moves, despite not featuring any opening book and moving rather fast (higher levels can drift away from acceptable thinking time). Of course the Turbo King II is a bit passive, particularly playing as Black, and it needs 50+ moves to wrap the win - but anyway a good performance from the tiny Craig Barnes program.  The revenge is much different: the Calculator Chess never stands a firm foot on the ground, and the Turbo King II with light pieces destroys it in just 16 moves.
