Thanks for Posting These Results.

Lars, thanks for posting these very interesting results. I had a Novag Sapphire 2 and from what I understand, the Star Sapphire is a bit stronger even at 40/120 time controls.

I'm wondering if you also matched the MCG PRO with the Star Sapphire?

Regards,

Yes, the Star Sapphire seems to be a little bit stronger, but not by a large margin and the difference is well within the error margin. We have them rated very close in our ratinglist and only two places from each other:

Code: Select all

 254 Star Sapphire                           2025   35   -35   389   52%  2015
 257 Sapphire II                             2006   32   -31   504   61%  1926
As one of my MCG Pro-meetings are finished now (MCG Pro-Rev Ruffian) I have started a meeting against the Star Sapphire. The first game is not finished yet, but it seems to end in a draw.

Hi Edgar! Yes, it will be interesting to see how the Professional ChessGenius will fare against the Crown Jewel of the Novag Line in 20 tournament games.

I have been conducting the first quarter of games now, and will publish the games today for you, and others, to see. It's worth seeing them as they are not what one could suspect, judging from the earlier result against the Millenium ChessGenius. :shock:

Novag Star "Avenger" regards
