Here we go again. You two seem to place
your own /convenience/ ahead of such things
as getting meaningful results. Try playing
the two programs against one another on
two separate machines, so there is **no
possibility** of what is discussed above.
That is what we technical folks call scientific
research; it is the precise opposite of funky
research in which the operators hope, pray,
or just assume that the test has any validity.
The key difference is that in science, you
remove everything related just to the operator
from the equation, focusing on the actual
subjects, the chess programs. If the operators
like Twinkies, you factor that out. And if they
make typos, you factor that out. Once you
remove the operators, and all their weird idio-
synchrocies, what is left yields information
about the chess programs themselves, the
actual subjects of the study.
If you folks are not up to the task, then
forward all your Twinkies to me, along with
any Hostess Ding Dongs you have lying
around, and I will be happy to do the job,
/gratis/.
A few changes: operator time, including
typing, eating and drinking, will no longer
be re****ted as Rybka's thinking time (duh!).
Rybka's selected level will no longer be
given here as "easy" or "hard", nor will the
version tested be kept a deep, dark secret.
You may notice that both programs can
actually finish a game, now and then, on
account of a *competent* operator taking
over for these two.
Finally, please supply more Twinkies;
bots do not live by bread alone... .
