Thank you for your replayEduard Nemeth wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 10:33 amWhen AlexChess started with its ProteusSF engine in 2022, everything was fine. He actually used my books too. And I, I used its engine, I remember exactly a year ago I even played on the PlayChess server with ProteusSF.Sedat Canbaz wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 9:32 amHello there )
1st of all,
Sad to read that both of you are not in friendly dialogue..
On other hand,
I wonder: what happened that the situation is changed?
E.g some time ago, I've seen many times ProteusSF's author,
AlexChess was suggesting to be used Eduard's books!?
By the way, and to be honest:
I don't pay too much attention to the Playchess Elo Ratings!
Due to, I think that not so hard to gain very high-Elo points!
E.g now I remembered the past (when I was on Playchess server):
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... tober-2009
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... ugust-2008
Some high-rated players were refusing to play with Me..reason
They were much scared about to NOT loose theirs Elo points!
But after my used calculation methods..theirs actual/real Elo
Are ranked much below...even some of them were not published..
Due to NOT enough games..as we know, for better conclusions:
A lot of games (per player) are required... In other words:
Up to 100-200 games, the error Elo margin can be too high!
And to be more clear,
Using Bayeselo, EloStat, Ordo etc. tools are best, ın case of
Determining about who are best.. and not only on same PCs,
But also for players, who played on Online servers as well!
Greetings
It was all good until AlexChess started promoting its engine differently. First he stopped the free download with the remark that he needed money to finance his homepage. From then on, ProteusSF fans had to donate money so they could get his motor. And then he got even more radical: He and some of his testers created up to 8 accounts on PlayChess alone to boost their own Elo with cheating, not just with cherry picking but with donated points! Those 8 accounts are now gone (they had limited access). Now he and his testers operate Cherry Picking. It's all about business! Computer chess has become a business for him. The main thing for him is to brag and show off, with the idea that people should believe how great his engines play. I will warn against such people and will expose such machinations whether he likes it or not.
