Dear Chess Friends,

Well, just another great, exiting duel is organized:

CM9 Gladiator (45m+10s) vs Rybka 3 (30s+0.6s)

In short, The Duel of Titans: 2002 vs 2008 


Some Notes:Chessmaster 9000 is released in 2002 (22 years ago) andIt is one of the most popular chess programs on our planet!Played via Gladiator settings, created by Me in 2002 year too,As same words are going for Rybka, best of the best in past!As I stated earlier, Rybka 3 released in 2008 (16 years ago)Sure nowadays, they have no chances vs latest Top enginesBut in old times, both my favorite engines were as real beast!
This time no Winner... both Titans performed with equal points!In the end 'The Gladiator' is here ) not easy opponent for sure !)You know, and as I mentioned before: I never play for 2nd place!Just joking ..) but in old times, CM9 Gladiator was not soft touch..And all of current 4 (four) wins are came only with Whites colors:
1   CM9 Gladiator 45m+10s  1010   2.0/4  1   Rybka3 30s+0.6s        0101   2.0/4  
GAMES
Note also thatNormally theirs difference should be about 300-400 Elo,Be aware too, both engines are played without any book And both players are used same hash table size: 64 MB
More Details,These kind of matches are remembered the old good times,Something like watching favorite movies, which never die !)Sure it's also clear that the old-dated eng of past are muchMore potential to play often blunders, e.g Rybka confirms atFast Bullet but I can't say same words for latest Top engines!For anyone missed, you can check / compare other: ResultsBesides, you can check other tour: In The Name of Gladiator

Best,

Sedat
