 | | Gypsy: What hapened <Lawrence>? Without further details, this kind of hangs out there -- in a nonsequitur sort of way. (Perhaps you explained the incident elsewhere and I missed it?) Btw, glad that the guy got nailed! |
|
| Sep-06-04 | | Lawrence: <Gypsy>, original post seems to have disappeared. Must be about 8 months ago now that my son was playing against a guy who didn't have a very high rating but who was smashing everybody in the tournament. It appeared he had a very weak bladder because every move or two he was getting up and going to the toilet. There had been an article in Chessbase about a player who had been doing exactly the same thing. My son said "Take your cellphone out of your pocket and don't turn it off" whereupon the guy took out his phone and turned it off, but my son saw that it had Chess Genius on it. |

| | Gypsy: Thanks for the background <Lawrence>. My view is that the cheat should have gotten a 5-year ban; 3-years for cheating and 2-years for his dumb, unimaginative way of doing so. |
|
| Jul-01-05 | | THE pawn: Hahaha, that must be the funniest thing I've ever read. If someone ever wants to cheat, he really should be more imaginative...my my, using a cellphone to beat the other players, then wander in the toilets every two or three moves hahahahah! HAHAHA! so funny! Hahaha...ah my god...Haha seriously he should be banned for life. When you can't be honest, then you have no life, and it's bebye... |

| May-17-06 | | iWaNnAbAgM: how can i get chess genius? |
|
| May-17-06 | | blingice: By traveling back to 1999 and paying $1.5 million dollars to the first man you meet. |
|
| May-17-06 | | THE pawn: <iwannabagm> you can download it at their official site. Or just ''google'' for chessgenius. |
|
| May-26-06 | | iWaNnAbAgM: How strong is this computer anyway? |
|
| May-26-06 | | THE pawn: master's strength, I would say. I can draw against him on ± blitz game. He's about 2300-2350. |
|
| Jan-19-07 | | schlechtj: All the games represented here are not the palm or phone versions of genius. They are from the computer games. At the time most of these games were played, Genius (4) was the strongest computer program in the world having a rating of 2256 on a 486 or 2305 on a pentium 90. I beleive the program was origionally written for the mephisto line of dedicated chess computers. Genius was also one of the first programs (along with fritz 3) to beat Kasparov. The program your looking for is chess genius classic for the computer. The full version has the engines for versions 2-7 (there was no 5) so you can play aganst the same engine that beat kasparov. You can also play with winboard engines. Here is something interesting though. I played a tournament aganst genius 7 and ruffian 1.05 rated 2680 on an athlon 1200mhz (no known rating for genius 7). Genius was the best program in 1993 and ruffian was the best FREE program a decade later. Genius lost the tournament 2-4 a showing of 2555 for that match. Now of course your cell phone is much slower than that athlon so the strength will be much less also. Probably around 1900 or so because a cell phone wouldnt have space for a large opening book, hash tables or endgame databases like the computer game dose. but remember computers are relativly much stronger than humans at blitz so the rating would effictivly go up. |

| Jul-10-08 | | myschkin: In August 94,
Genius 3 beat Kasparov in a 2 game match - the first Computer ever to defeat a player of his status in a serious non-blitz match (25 minutes per game). It also beat GM Nikolic in the same tournament, achieving a 2795 ELO rating for its performance in that tournament, running on a 100Mhz Pentium computer.

| Jul-09-15 | | Tomlinsky: <Cyrus
Lang's first chess program, Cyrus, was written in Z80 Assembly. It had an astonishing debut at the 2nd European Microcomputer Chess Championship at the PCW Show in September 1981 in London, winning all five games and the tournament. Lang immediately was offered two contracts by David Levy and Kevin O’Connell, one for Cyrus, and one to work as programmer for Intelligent Software. Lang accepted, and turned his hobby into a job. Cyrus for Sinclair was his first commercial entry, followed by programs for various dedicated chess computers merchandised by Intelligent Software, as well a further improved version of Cyrus. Psion
In about 1983 Richard Lang started to write his new program Psion for 68000 based processors. He was about to abandon the work for Intelligent Software, who continued their own work by owning the Cyrus brand by primary programmer Mark Taylor, yielding in Cyrus 68K. Psion Chess was marketed first by Sinclair Research for Sinclair QL computers and later under Psion's own label for Apple Macintosh, Atari ST and in late 1983 for the IBM PC with 8086/88 processors. Mephisto and Genius
In 1985 Lang started to collaborate with Hegener & Glaser and Ossi Weiner, porting Psion to their dedicated Mephisto chess computers. Psion evolved to Chess Genius, also ported to PC's for the MS-DOS operating system, and later to Windows. Lang's Mephisto programs dominated the microcomputer chess scene from the mid 80s until the beginning of the 90s. He was multiple World Microcomputer Chess Champion, last title with Genius (shared with MChess) at the WMCCC 1995. In 1994 during the Intel Grand Prix Cycle in London, Genius won a speed chess game (25-minutes per side) against Garry Kasparov.> https://chessprogramming.wikispaces...
