11th Computer Olympiad

Turin, Italy
May 25, 2006
Bulletin 1
On May 25, 15.00 hours the players meeting of the 14th WCCC in the Oval in Turin started. After
a welcome to world champion Anthony Cozzie and some statements on the organisation the
number of participants was set to 18 since two participants did not show up and two informed us
in advance that they withdraw for private reasons. The other two authors informed us later that
they were unable to participate for different reasons. All in all the tournament started with 18
participants that would play 11 rounds according to the Swiss system. The proposed ranking and
drawing of lots (Zappa obtained white) led to the following pairing in the first round.
The results are given below together with a brief impression and the games.
Round 1
Zappa 0.5 0.5 Jonny
ParSOS 0 1 Rajlich
Shredder 1 0 Isichess MMX
Delfi 4.6 0 1 Junior
Spike 0.5 0.5 Chiron
Uragano3d 0 1 Crafty
Diep 1 0 FibChess
Chaturanga 0 1 Lion ++ 1.5
Ikarus 1 0 ETABETA
The most exciting game of the first round was between Zappa and Jonny. White had some advantage from
opening play but it was difficult something tangeable out of it. At one moment black decided to play g5 and
it looked that white could make profit from this weakening . However, black counted adequately and fight
continued meanwhile both players spend much time on the calculations in particular Jonny. After 60 moves
and four hours of play we entered the last half hour for both sides to complete the game. At the beginning
of this phase play was of an acceptable level but at the end programs looked only one or two ply deep and
played unexpected moves. The final outcome was a draw and the only remark which is justified here is that
this is the correct outcome for the players and the public.
There was one more game which ended with two lone kings. In itself it is already remarkable that among 9
games 2 games end with four Kings only. In the game spike-chiron we saw a balanced fight with all kind of
intrigate plans and many trouvailles. The difference of the small exchange versus a pawn was an imposition
at both sides. Black as well as white reacted according to the requirements of the position and so the draw
was the correct outcome.
Title contender Rajlich faced many difficulties in its game against parSOS. Nevertheless enlarging the
pressure and resolving problems with inactive pieces helped him to bring parSOS into a difficult position.
Finally Rajlich won deservedly.
Junior played according to its own style, its sacrificed the pawn for active play and it won accordingly.
Shredder, Crafty and Diep won their game by outplaying the opponent. Replaying this game is advisible to
see how techniques of the better programs work.
Lion and Ikarus won their game and announced that they are contenders for a good place in the middle of
the pack. All in all this 14 th WCCC started with much excitement. By the speed of reporting we did not
mention the opening ceremony. Pictures were made of FIDE board member Makropolis playing the first
move at Zappa's game and Petra Leeuwerik playing the first move at ParSOS game.

Bulletin 3
May 26, 18.00 hours the third round started. The game of Diep started at nineteen hours since
many spectators had subscribed to this game as direct followers. Everybody who looked at this
game and the other games must have had a very enjoyable evening since many games were
very attractive. The results of the round are published below. From the standings it looks like the
old times are returning since Shredder and Junior are on the lead with 3 out of 3. Shredder
played a well thought maneuver by the pawn advancement f4 f5 f6. The complications were clear
for an experienced chess player and certainly for a world class program. After Bishop h6 the
move Rook e8 would be refuted by Ng5. Shredder won the exchange and although he had to
overcome many obstacles he won the game deservedly. The win by Junior over Spike was a
tough fight but Junior was simply the better player. Zappa outclassed Chiron and Crafty did so
with Ikarus. So far Delfi and Lion ++ did very well as newcomers in this WCCC. In round 3 they
were opponents and Lion proved to be the stronger program. The good old programs Jonny and
ParSOS regained some territory by winning against Urangano3d and Etabeta respectively.

Bulletin 4
May 26, the fourth round started with a protest on the code of one of the programs. It gave a
delay of the start of the round for at least one match. The tournament director and the assistant
tournament director decided to investigate this situation seriously and after one hour the round
was in full swing. Since the investigations are not definitely concluded we restrict ourselves to the
results of this round. The top meeting Junior-Shredder was an exciting fight in which Junior
reached a winning position but Shredder had much counterplay in a very tactical situation. The
unbalanced material at both sides gave black unexpected changes. With many tactical tricks
black even managed to keep the position. The draw that resulted kept both programs at the first
place. World champion Zappa did not manage to reach also a top position since it had to
concede in a draw to Rajlich. The game was a tough fight but no side ever had a real chance to
win. Diep played with black a Sicilian game to Lion++ and won convincingly. So it came next to
Zappa on a tight third place. Jonny won against Chiron whereas Crafty drew against Spike. The
game was rather long but the result was fair. ParSOS and Isichess catched up their position and
are now at 50%. By winning its game against Etabeta FibChess left the last position and scored
its first point.

Bulletin 5
May 27, 2006
The fifteh round was full exciterment on the boards and beyiond the boasrds. This bulletin
brings you up to date with what happened during this round.
In the previous bulletin we mentioned a protest. Close investigation of the code of the
participant Lion++1.5 revealed that their work could not b e characterized as original work.
It is true that the team had edit many features to the code but in principal structure and
contents were still closely related to the original ùFruitcode (some would like us to refer to
Toga2). The tournament director decided before round 5 that the objections were valid so
at the start of this round he decided to remove them from the participants list. Since the
team made an appeal he decided to let them play in round 5 and await the decision of the
cie of appeal. In a regular game Spike won against Lion++1.5 which is reproduced below.
In the evening session the cie of appeal consisting of David Levy, Yngvi Bjornsson and
Rudolf Huber unanimously rejected the appeal and agreed with the decision by the
th
tournament director. It implied that Lion does not longer participate in the 14 WCCC.
As stated above the games were very exciting too. Diep played for a long time out of his
book and post many problems to Junior. The Israelian program defended quite adequately
and it turned out that perpetual check was a logical outcome. However, in the Diep
program unexpectedly a window popped up with a question 'transpose to other variation'.
Nobody understood what it meant. The operator of Diep in a direct reaction answered 'no'.
After some discussion the play was continued under the supervising eye of the
tournament director. The result was draw by repetition. Thereafter the position was rebuild
up to the popping up of the window and the tournament director gave the answer yes. The
same variation was played. So the tournament director established and decided that the
game was drawn. The explanation by Vincent Diepeveen (for personal reasons he is not
present in Turin) over the telephone was that the pop-up window had to do with the way of
storing the moves in the data structure. The Junior team appealed for another result. The
cie of appeal rejected the appeal by Junior and stated that the decision by the tournament
director to declare the game a draw was correct. The cie of appeal gave the tournament
director the task to give the operator of Diep an official warning for answering questions
without prior informing the tournament director. In the tournament Shredder drew with
Zappa which resulted in no change at the top positions. Rajlich and Jonny arrived at a top
position by defeating their opponent Crafty and ParSOS respectively. In the lower part
Ikaros Uragano3d and Chaturanga improved their position by winning their game. Chiron
and Delfi played a draw.

14th World Computer-Chess Championship

11th Computer Olympiad
Turin, Italy
th
The 6 round was quite peaceful after the many turbulences in round 5. The four top
matches all ended in a draw. It was not a question that they did not fight or did not want to
fight but simply of being of equal strength. The result of the four draws is of course that
there was no significant change in the interrelated standings at the top. So, Shredder and
Junior remain in the lead as if Zappa had not existed in Reykjavik in 2005. The new
programs Zappa and Rajlich (the experimental version of Rybka) are now in the role of
rummer-up. They are accompanied by Jonny and Diep who both have also 4 points.
Metaphorically speaking it was a black day for the tournament since the other four
matches had a black player as a winner. This implied that Crafty, Delfi, Uragano and
ParSOS considerably approved their position. It is now clear from the standings after
round 6 that the new Italian programs are not experienced in playing such tough
tournaments as the other programs.

May 29 and 30, 2006
In the evening of May 29, the 2006 world computer speed chess championship took place.
There were 14 programs participating. They played a round robin of 13 rounds with 7
minutes per program per game. The tournament was won by Ikarus.
The result surprised many participants but the victory for Ikarus was fully deserved. The

Round 7
th
The 7 round had no real surprises. Since Zappa and Junior drew, albeit in a complex and
difficult way Shredder had the opportunity to take the lead. For Zappa, the result maybe a
little bit disappointing. It had material disadvantage and thought that the win was easy.
However, Junior had success with its active play and managed to keep the white king
under continuous threat. It all ended with Junior giving perpetual check. Shredder
outperformed Diep in a quiet game. Once it had advantage, it finished the game by a series
of strong moves. The two runners up, Rajlich and Jonny played a draw. It was a hard fight
without the major pieces. The bishops and knights were all over the board but neither site
was ever in big danger. Ikarus continued its form from the blitz tournament and won
against ParSOS like it did yesterday evening in the last round of the world speed chess
championship. Isichess and Spike improved their position by a win over Crafty and
Uragano 3d, respectively. So did Delfi4.6 and Chiron against Chaturanga and Etabeta.
Below we provide the results of the 7th round in detail together with the game scores and
the relevant tables.

th
The 8 round, May 30, 2006 saw Junior winning its game against Jonny. As a consequence it
reached a tied first place together with Shredder. The draw against Spike was at a certain point
unavoidable for Shredder. The two runnersup Zappa and Rajlich confirmed their position by
winning their games. These four programs will decide among themselves on the worldtitle for
2006. There are still 3 rounds to go and many things are possible. Certainly the excitement is
great and the expectations are a subject of speculation among the participants.

In the 9 round all four contenders for the title won their game. There was some discussion
on Rajlich being scheduled to Etabeta. The program Swiss perfect which was agreed upon
at the beginning of the tournament did so and as a consequence it was followed by the
tournament director. Only Rajlich had some difficulties but decided to play though it lost
some Buchholz points. A discussion on changing (relaxing) the rules in case of a tie was
completed by the decision that the rules on this point should not be changed during the
tournament. Jonny won against Chaturanga and had some close relation with the front
runners. The other programs have no chances on the title in this tournament. Below
scores and games follow.

th
In the 10 round matters became clear since Shredder did not reable to follow Junior. The
Israelian progrtam won its game quite easily against Uragano whereas Shredder had to concede
a draw against ParSOS. Due to this result Rajlich was able to climb to a tight second place. In the
middle pack matters are also shifted out and well known programs with quite a reputation started
to settle on places which they believe are made for them. The Italian programs are fighting their
own championship and the Italian agreed that they had learned quite a lot from the world top and
the communicative computer-chess community.
