Cough! Cough! Bullshit! Cough Cough!

If it's over a period of days, it is likely, especially if he analyzed each move to a certain depth.

You're so gullible, I guess if it weren't for 13 pages discarding this Houdini game as bullcrap, you would also be one of those who thought the story was real.

Why not? He could have easily studied up on a single opening, and then once the middle had been reached studied a similar position from an older game. GM's do it all the time.

Even if (which is pretty impossible), the endgame is on GM's level and he doesn't miss a single tactics during the middle game.

8.h4!? is nowhere near the main line of this opening.

If someone played so perfectly against me I wouldn't wait to report him and he would end up like those guys, who also claimed to play without the engine assistance:

There is nothing new under the sun. He could have easily found a similar endgame position.

I can safely say, that if I (I do not have an OTB rating but I guess it would be around 1400) were to play a game against an engine, no matter how much work and analysis time I put in, and even if I reached a position that I know well, eventually I would make some kind of tactical slip that would cause me to lose. Having said that, drawing an engine is not entirely out of the question, since unless you change the contempt settings, they play objectively and won't try to avoid trades if they see that as the best move. This is one reason why I think, for an amateur it might be easier to draw against an engine than a GM, since a GM could play dubious moves to create complications where they could exploit their superior tactical ability, an engine on the other hand will not do this.

an engine just makes complications that are SOUND.

anyways, there is no way that a kid could play like that.

I know you've all said it, but now that I'VE said it, it is official.

There.

No an engine only makes complications if it thinks it's the best move, however it may still be sound.

@Doggy_Style I have not beaten it, I was able to draw with it... And I am able to beat Delfi 4.5 on rating of 1400, so My rating may be around 1400.

The problem is, if you tell one whopper of a lie, people won't believe anything you say from now on.

believe it or not. don't care. theres a 13-year old GM. True he played and studies chess, but its not impossible.

Another thing is that the kid Sydfhd plays since 2 months. Not like 13 yo GMs from 7 years. :)

It's impossible, period, for any 1400 or whatever rating Sydfhd is to draw an engine's play, much less that of Rybka. To draw an engine virtually means matching its strength in a chess game; IMO it's not feasible for a 1400 to do that.

Busted!

Of course, a "my nephew beat Houdini" thread just invites people to make stuff up. I know this, as a former USCF president.

Reminds me of a bloke who tried to sell me a burglar alarm, many years ago. At one stage he said to me "You're a very disbelieving man, very disbelieving. In my 20 years working as chiel inspector for the metropolitan police I've never met anyone as disbelieving as you"

"And believe it or not..."

I choose "not". I wouldn't believe you if you said you saw the sun rise in the east and set in the west.

Edit - And the last I checked, Phalanx doesn't even use elo settings. It uses skill level settings from 0 to 100, activated by the -e switch from the command line. But you probably wouldn't know that if you've never actually had to set up the engine.
