A system speed challenge

[Net]

I'm surprised that with all the overclocking there aren't that many chess computer competitors on freechess.org

I have a pretty high rating and I only have a AMD 64 4000+

What am I talking about?

You can setup your computer to run a chess engine and compete against other computers. There are a lot of free chess engines out there right now. I'm running Rybka which isn't free.

There are engines that perform better then others. Ofcourse your number crunching speed has a huge effect on your performance.

I would like to see some people with some insane specs compete against my machine. DeepThoughts(C)

go check it out.

How about doing it the other way around. Instead of asking us to go find a chess program, or buy one, why dont you download 3dmark for free on the trail version and compare your scores with the other people.

That would be the fastest solution. I personally dont like installing any additional software i dont need.

Someone on the forum also made a H.264 bench marking program for free you can compare with on the result page of that thread as well. Just search H.264 benchmark.

I'm looking for competitors in a computer chess match. if your interested you can find me on a chess server (use telnet) called freechess. you'll have to use google to understand what this is because lots of people don't like links. my screen name is deepthoughts and i would like to play someone with a strong computer.

Actually, they can find you right here. So why would you direct them to another site to contact you, when you can be PM'd right here? Makes little sense. (Knight takes Rook). your move.

Relax guys this seems pretty harmless. We are all geeky people here, no need to have any geek-on-geek misinterpreted challenges.

"net" is clearly just an excited person about chess simulators and wants some new friends to play with. Its cool, no spam here. If not interested then no need to get too excited about it.

Personally I'm not interested, sorry net, but I hate to see such youthful exuberance be quashed over misinterpretation as being spam.

 

[Keysplayr]

Define Geeky.....

 

[Tempered81]

where'd bobby fisher go?

 

[Net]

hey all. Looks like this generated some excitement. Actually this is the same as saying, I can rock you at counter strike. If you want to match me go to server xxx and play supperslick.

I can see it will take a bit more of explanation to get you guys setup and I don't think you guys really want to play. So I won't go into detail of how to compete I'll just give a brief overview.

Your computer logs onto the server freechess.org through a telnet connection. You computer then plays against my computer in real time. You get to see the piece on the board move, the score, the moves it's thinking about and how many moves ahead, etc...

It's like watching a professional match except it's your computer against someone elses.

Computer chess is how Sky Net is born! Then it's judgment Day!

Computer geeks and chess geeks shouldn't mix. It's just a law of nature

Err, the female computer geeks that I have met have been anything but hot. (I have never met a female chess geek, or a male one for tha matter.)

Maybe... but only if we write our own chess programs.

I'd rather just let my 7 year old son beat my ass at chess a few times a week, thanks anyway tho .

Interesting. It says its free, so I wouldn't call it spam per say. I only skimmed the site... Do these programs even use advanced SSE , and multicore features?

I saw it on TV, so it must be true.

I don't know about SSE, but the top chess programs are highly parallel.

What you do is...

Get winboard as your graphical user interface (free) or xboard (free) if you use linux.

Then pick a engine search google

the engine with the highest ELO is the strongest.
