Hello to all,

right now I created my own team for "EinStein wurfelt nicht":

Team Waldorf.

My own role will be that of a non-playing captn,

similar to Mr. Waldorf in the Muppet show. From

time to time I will comment on my team members,

their special strengths and weaknesses.

My expectation is that we will have lots of fun.

Ingo.

be very welcome in the team!

It depends...

> ps my name is greenfeld ,not Statler (lol)

Do you want to take the role of Statler?

(It would be fine with me when you call yourself "Dutch Statler")

Then your main taks would be to recruit new members

and to "comment on them".

Otherwise you are welcome, when your rating is

between 800 and 2200, and when you are robust against

comments by (W)aldorf(er) and Statler.

Hmm. Perhaps you could provide your own bot,

"de Groene Bot". It would not need to be so strong.

It even might be still somewhat green in its circuits.

I'm a beginner and not so strong as well as a bit confused sometimes, but I want to be a member of a 'bot team'.

Please send me an invitation.

Hello Groeneveld,

> i can´t follow you,what do you mean by groene Bot

It is a word joke only: using your name as inspiration for a bot's name.

Hello naive child,

> I want to be a member of a 'bot team'.

Thanks for joining the team. Feel comfortable.

\*\*\***********************

A challenge for programmers:

it would be fun to have some bot member Statler_c

in the team, with the understanding that Statler_c

gives automatic comments (in Waldorf & Statler manner)

on team members, their moves, or anything else.

Although I have only finished ​​a game (won) but this tournament is quite difficult. It seems that I do not calculate deep enough and opponents are also very strong. This is a pretty good test for my algorithm, isn't working so fine for players >1730.

Dear my naive child,

don't tell such nonsense.

Simply play, as every other child also does.

Father needs your points to win this tournament.

Hurray,

Ingo is back in the top-50 of the rating list!

#18 · Ingo Althofer

8 Jun 2011

Only want to tell you that I am out of the top 50, again.

But no big problem, I feel fine. Really, fine.

But the dice are guilty. Some times I wish to have the

balance of Waldorf. Good old man. Very good man.

Ok, new game, new luck.

Ingo (not a good loser, really)

Normally, good players are very rarely playing after reaching a high number of points. So, due to the team tournament, I'm glad to test the child also against

stronger players.

The playing strength of RoRo or hanfried is not reached, but I'm not a professional programmer and I haven't also not the time of a graduate student or doctoral candidate, nevertheless, the child is able to achieve good results against the most (good) players. It makes me happy that a simple idea on which the child is based can be so effective.

As someone who's had a run of quite good luck lately, going many wins and only three losses lately, but where 2 of those three losses are in my only matches against your child, I wish I knew what that simple idea was.

BTW, the only other loss was to Ingo, playing on the same team as your child. You really have my number.
