Hi zusammen,

hab' mal wieder einen ganz alten Test hervorgekramt. Die Idee: Weiß verhält sich äußerst passiv und man schaut, wie der Rechner mit der Situation klar kommt.

Kann jemand dabei den Absturz von Ruffian 2.1 (X) bestätigen?

Ich hatte auch gelegentlich Probleme nach Einstellung der Engine und der Stufe: Es ließ sich zwar 1.a3 ausführen, aber es kam oft kein Antwortzug, erst nach Rücknahme.

Interessant sind noch zwei weitere Dinge:

1) Ruffian 2.1 und Ruffian 2.1 (X) spielen unterschiedlich. Wird da das richtige Programm geladen? (Was auch Steve`s Versuch Ruffian 2.1 (X) gegen Fruit 05 in ein anderes Licht rücken würde).

2) Deep Sjeng hat 1.a3 d5 im Buch mit den entsprechenden lustigen Konsequenzen...

Grüße, Martin


Hi all,

this is a more than 20 years old test with the following idea: White plays extremely passive to see how the program performs being completely on its own.

Can anyone confirm the freezing of Ruffian 2.1 (X)? I've had also some problems after changing the engine. After 1.a3 Resurrection didn't answer (didn't perform any calculations). Taking back and and playing again solved that issue.

There are two more interesting observations:

1) Ruffian 2.1 and Ruffian 2.1 (X) play differently (the latter similar to Fruit 05). Do the correct programs load?

2) Deep Sjeng plays 1.a3 d5 à tempo: the move is probably in its book with funny consequences...

Best,
Martin
