The show match

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

I have a cordial request Alex Moiseyev. Can I ask you to play a show match Machine - Man in English checkers over the internet. If you accept it like to thank, if you reject this invitation to understand and also heartily thank.

Krzysztof

[Alex_Moiseyev]

OK, time control - 15 mins + 15 secs. I can play 2 openings (4 games) against each program on your list. Only one game on time. Best time to play - Saturday and Sunday. We can finish most or all games over one weekend.

Let me know when you are ready and what Internet site you like. I am not active in Internet in nowdays and don't have preferences.

Best Regards,
Mr. Alex

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

Thank you very much Alex. Preparations for the match, as all prepare to let you know. If nothing you have against it we will play the game on the side http://www.playok.com/. Thank you again Alex.

Krzysztof.

If nothing you have against it we will play the game on the side http://www.playok.com/.

That's very good site where I played (and still playing) occasionally. My only request is - room must be private and game unrated. I also need to know before every games starts - what particular program is my opponent.

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

There is no problem Alex. Will be so as you ask, so the table will be private and no ranking. I have such a request and the question of whether you can play a game with the best engine in the tournament, and so a Kingsrow. Write also do you have a nick on the page http://www.playok.com/, and whether it will be a normal match or can be match with the option " random opening ", It will be interesting match.

My nickname is rusms1. I propose format - play 2 opening, 4 games with every program you have, not only Kingsrow. Time control: for each game to each opponent - 15 minutes + 10 seconds increment. Each opening picks randomly.

Match name: "Alex vs machine"

Hi Alex,

OK, time control - 15 mins + 15 secs. I can play 2 openings (4 games) against each program on your list. Only one game on time. Best time to play - Saturday and Sunday. We can finish most or all games over one weekend.

It is very unselfish, and even brave of you to agree to use so much of your free time to play against programs. You are a true champion! I know a lot of players do not like to play against programs, and why should they? I hope you do well, but even if you don't, no matter. You are are a great player and a good ambassador of the game.

Thanks, Ed! This is win-win situation for me and I have nothing to lose. There are two respectable goals which I can try to achieve in this match: win single game or drew all games.

Whatever happen, so be it! There is only one way to prove pudding - eat it

I want to name this event "Alex vs machine" for one simple reason - don't want to be in charge of the entire human society! With this particular title I am in charge only for myself.

All after all - it's gonna be fun. There might be few people whom I allow to be in the private playing room during match.

Best Regards,

Mr. Alex

Hi Alex.

Alex if you want to invite any person to a private room.

Krzysztof.

As of now I am planning to invite Ryan Pronk - my long time friend. I am OK also to release score and all match games to public immediately after match. Match itself is many hours boring silence atmosphere and may not be a lot of fun for kibitzers.

What particular programs are my 1st, 2nd and 3rd opponents ?

[Chexhero]

Hey Alex,

Clayton and I would be interested in watching the match. Would you mind if we watch as well? Thanks.
