Graphic analysis "Horizon";

Piet, Vergelijk svp Barrages en de huidige Live pagina. Heb 2 partijen als test.

Very nice this live-streaming! Can't wait till the games begin.

Let the game start! Enjoy the games!!!

I hope that they see that the time of the clock has to be adjusted.
It's rapid and blitz today!

Frank is busy with it now.

We will start within three minutes.

Where are the analizers?

Seems that the video has a delay of 5 sec compared to the live applet !

where's the music coming from?

It's more than 5 seconds.
It's more like 10-15 seconds.

I can hear music and people whispering. How are the conditions for the players, does this not disturb them?

why is so dark?

Yes, there is about 25 sec. of delay compared to reality. We have very sensitive mikes. The conditions for the players are excellent.

Sorry, I have a problem with Horizon, working on it.  

yes music

On request we dimmed the theaterlights a little bit. Launch external to have a better view.

Georgiev seems to have the advantage now.
26. 31-27 12-18 and white has to take 27-22.

27. 40-34 is actually a smarte move (in stead of 27-22)

how many spectators are there in the campus at this moment?

About 50 spectators.

Black could have played 36. 14-20 after which white can't play 30-35, due to 18-22 24-29 22-27. A combination over 7 white pieces!

I believe Auke Scholma is giving demonstrations. Is it possible to plugin another soundchannel, so we hear his comments live in English?

The first game will result in a draw.

@Bart de Vos, after 36.14-20 white can play 34-29 and black has nothing.

@Piet: Sound from explication is possible. Next game.

being able to hear Scholma's comment, that would be great! But I doubt the comments will be in English :)

36..14-20? is very dangerous because of 33-28!

spannend

47. database draw

Martijn/guest, I didn't suggest that black should actually play 14-20 (for obvious reasons as mentioned by both of you). I just spotted a combination I thought I'd mention (for those of us less skilled in draughts.

It's clearly not a draw yet. It seems like Schwarzman is with his back against the wall. Can he keep it cool and find a draw?

TG, wake up !

View is like rapid eyemovement on my screen .

When is the next game?

Will the video broadcast be stored and published?

Now the webcamview is totaly black. Launch in external player did not work. Something with firewall.
I am not sure about that.

Wait, now I have view again.

Erg leuk om dit zo te volgen!

Georgiev had a slight advantage during the second part of the game, but Schwarzman defended correctly. Be glad the players don't milk out the 3x1 endgame.

The video is stored. No thoughts yet about publishing. We are now setting up the audio stream from the Agora. Next game starts 12.30

I'm thoroughly enjoying the gossip.
Beautiful!
Thumbs up to Frank Teer and Wouter van Beek :)

The external player does work at this moment. But there is a double sound, from de webcam and from the external player. Like a stadionsound.

Even Rotjoch is present, the lucky bastard !!

i can't hear sound at all

In the games menu you can download this game as pdn-file

Put your sound to the highest level Groeneveld.

@ s.nagel

windows media player 
is set to the highest level 
but i still hear nothing 
not even wispering

To avoid double echoing sounds: Click on the webcam and mute the volume. Now you will havee only the external player sound.Or Mute the volume in the externa player etcetera

Candid Camera 

Within 15 minutes we wil be witness of the sixth Keller-game 1.33-29 17-22 etc.

To the people who just putting the computer on, the right dark person is not Schwarzman. It is referee Frank Teer. Auke Scholma verwacht niet dat het vandaag wordt beslist, horen we net met de verborgen microfoon.

unfortunately : still nothing

Rein, I'm willing to bet that Georgiev won't dare play Keller with (relatively) so little time on the clock.

Rotjoch, how many more games will we see in this match before a decision is reached you think?

@groeneveld
It last some time after opening the site before the sound did work.

i'll take the bet

i am watching since 11 o clock
and still no sound  
that's a little bit long

i am watching since 11 o clock
and still no sound  
that's a little bit long

Tjalling, dat vraag je aan iemand met een rating van 969 ............ik heb dus geen flauwe notie !!

Unbelievable, again a Keller

Auke klik op next

Wake up, people!

Click on next for the next game

waarom deot de webcam het niet??

Told you...........i did speak G. yesterday and he told me that he open 33-29

sorry for the double comment

The sound is horrifying! It is echoing all over.

@Gerben. De webcam/streaming video starts slowly up.

Als Auke Scholma nu ook nog nummers van de velden oplepelt i.p.v. dit veld hier en dit veld daar, dan is het helemaal perfect te volgen vanaf de luie stoel!

It would be nice if Scholma would say the moves more instead of  "die" and "zo" when pointing something out.

Another cam on Scholma. Then we can see a nice possability

@Piet I look vanaf 11:30 to the webcam and the external player doesn't work :-(

Scholma is speaking wih 'a double tongue' and that's a pitty.

Sorry. It is possibility.

Kan er ook een webcam op Auke? 
Dan kan ik meteen zien wat ie bedoelt met die en die..


Tjalling: Voor het geluid. Klik op het webcam beeld, rechtermuisknop, volume dempen of zacht!
werkt perfect!

Sorry, we have only one live stream. Maybe an idea: get into your car or take a train to Enschede. It isn't that far! This is the place to be.

Idd webcamverbinding erbij!!

Sorry, we have only one live stream. Maybe an idea: get into your car or take a train to Enschede. It isn't that far! This is the place to be.

Thx feur de tip man. Auke has only one tongue left now!

This time Schwarzman stays away from square 19, so Georgiev cannot play the backwards exchange 30-24x34.

Is Medvedev al gearriveerd of komt hij niet naar het Wladiwostok van Nederland ?
(grapje)

i will follow the game without comment
thanks for all the help,
but i still won't hear sound at all
even if i set mediaplayer to 100,

Windows Media Player kan het bestand niet afspelen. De oorzaak is mogelijk een netwerk-firewall, waardoor het bestand niet kan worden geopend via het UDP-transportprotocol. U kunt proberen dit bestand af te spelen door het bestand te openen zonder UDP op te geven.

???

@Gerben: Die opmerking van die firewall had ik eerst ook, maar na een herstart lukte het ineens wel.
Keep Trying.

I'm verry happy that the organisation made a comment to Auke about our request to mention the moves. His remarkt to come to the location was of course nice, but for people who are not in The Netherlands not really an option

@Nagel bedoel je een herstart van de P.C. of van de website???

@Gerben: restart the computer.

Met de terugruil 33-29 30x39 maakt Georgiev gebruik van de dubbele leunstoel van Scholma....

What a day! Is Georgiev going mad? 32. 33-29 is far out.

dubbele leunstoel, het snoepgoed op links, Scholma verrijkt de damliteratuur met een paar fraaie termen!

Georgiev built a back slash (/).. with his back leaning in the 36 / 41/ 42 / 46 / 47 / 48 chair ... 

Boring game till sofar. I hoped to see more spectacle.

Will Schwarzman play 37... 28-33?

Very nice to hear comments of Scholma. Fantastic work of the organization! Live comments, stream, game and analysis by Horizon!! Very nice!

You like posting bagger, Lerak? 

Werkelijk uniek. Beeld van de spelers, een live-applet van de partij, commentaar van Scholma en commentaar van Jan en alleman.
Complimenten aan alle medewerkers.
The technical effort keeps us at home in front of the screen. Horizon likes de X-line.

Wit lijkt een makkelijk plan te hebben in het schema: 39-34 44-40 en 29-24

We are working right now on a second live video stream. Likely before the third game I will post a link to this stream. As you will understand, we can not implement it into the site.

ik hoor alleen de stem van Scholm :s

Tjalling, you wake up earlier as a copple months ago, during the Rapid cham'ship

Agree with Sietse. Good job from organisation! I enjoy  very much. Compliments!!

O dear, mr. goodmood is taking the advantage. No, i am only a neutrale observator, Tjalling.

less than 2 minutes for Schwartzman!

wanneer komt het beeld???

And offcourse compliments to the players. They try really everything to please us spectators! For me they are both big champions.

After 41. 03-09 Flits says for the first time advantage for white

Komen kijken.... Enschede ligt ver weg hoor ;)

It's a really unique strategy from Georgiev. The situation is dangerous for Schwarzman after 43.37-32.

@Gerben. Dat zijn echt instellingen van je eigen computer/Media Player.
@Paul. Two videostreams? Can Windows Media Player take that, or have people then to switch between videostreams?

@Piet, ik heb het beeld wel, maar hij loop steeds vast...

I am at the campus right now, but cant find it, what building is it?

45.24-20 was not the best plan for Georgiev. He could have played 44-39-34 with the threat 24-19, 47-41, 29-24.

ebs in stress, I guess!

Schwarzman's 51... 37-42 was too early. Now he is in big trouble.

@Jens: Vrijhof, Agora en Amphitheater

Wow, what a game. Georgiev wins. Should have made the 21-27x27 exchange. Five Kellers weren't enough to wear the Beast out. A sixth one took him down. 

database win

Staat de zwarte dam klem ?
Opgave !

Al mijn complimenten gaan naar Georgiev!!!

Klasse Georgiev!!! dit komt hard aan bij Schwarzman!

Great tactical play from Georgiev!

Congratulations to Georgiev.

Wow, we want more

when is the next game? At 14.00 hours?

But also Schwarzman is willing to take the risk in this variant every time.

Very good game from Georgiev, made great use of his advantage on the clock. I wonder what Schwarzman will come up with to try and get a game back, cause he is still a player who is full of surprises.

@Christian: I would say it was a great strategical victory for Georgiev.

You can download this game as pdn-file in the games menu.

Sterk gespeeld door Georgiev. Onverwachte ontknoping.

I am very glad, my favourite won this game!

We have a second video channel now.
Please try this link
Questionable if Mediaplayer can open 2 at the same time. A question for other to comment on.

But I am still not convinced of the soundness of the white strategy!

Thanks Paul, that is great service

the correct url is: mms://vcd.student.utwente.nl/wkdammen without http in front. Greetings, Technical Staff Vrijhof

@Paul. Is this a right link. I think it has to end on extension .asx

Georgiev take the lead !!!!

It is another type of link. Unfortunatly there is no option to create an .asx link at this moment. Be sure to give it some time to load.

Good job organisation! Wow, what a victory for Georgiev.

@Laures. It works!! Webcam in Live Game and Windows Media Player for demonstration room. Please a lot more light in demonstration room.

Finally we have not draw, unbelivable, incredible.

second link works also not

i get an error 

Kan het bestand niet afspelen. Mogelijk verhindert een netwerk-firewall dat het bestand kan worden geopend via het UDP-transportprotocol. Als u in het dialoogvenster URL openen een URL hebt getypt, kunt u het met een ander transportprotocol, zoals http:, proberen.

2 video streams at the same time is not working for everybody, Paul vd Veen will sort this out with the University technicians, (if he can in only 10 minutes)

In this level we will see a result different of draw only in games with short time. They are too strong and normally don´t make mistakes. Only with short  time they can sometime make some mistakes.

@Piet: piet, bel me svp even op. Je hebt m'n 06. Of zet die van jou even aan :-)

"What do you do, mr Georgiev if five attempts to win with the Keller fail?"
 "I succed the sixth time."
You need a little patience...

Mister Groeneveld: Maybe disable your firwall. speciaal het windows ding doet toch niets dan de verkeerde dingen tegenhouden

@Paul van de Veen: kun je ook een rechtstreekse URL van de partij livestream geven? De livestream van de commentaarruimte die je net hebt gegeven werkt namelijk onder linux. Van de gewone partij is niets te zien onder linux.

Schwarzman has to avoid the Keller now

51. 37-42 was the crucial mistake in game 2 I think. Better was 21-27 and for example 29-23 37-42 38-43 15-10 09-14 43-48 and running for a second king with 27. But still difficult for Schwarzman with so less time.

@Paul. Ik heb je 06 niet kunnen vinden... Mijn vrouw heeft de mijne mee....Wrs. uit. Stuur me effe een mail.

i leave it....thanks everybody
I will follow the game,
without analyse and sound

if i change something ,the chance
is that i can't see anything

@Wieger: we werken er aan.

Or even better 51. 21-27 29-23 38-42 36-41 better for black.

Click next for the next game

Mooi jasje GMI Scholma. Succes met de demonstraties!!

Ik heb even beeld gehad van het demonstratiebord.
Toen ik dit nog eens wilde proberen, lukte het niet meer. Apart.

Dat linkje van Laurens, dat was het.
Ik heb Scholma in beeld.

Link: mms://vcd.student.utwente.nl/wkdammen

The methode I used:
Normal Live game (do not launch streaming video in external player).
New tabpage in Internet Explorer.
Past link mms etc. .
Windows Media Player starts and second stream appears.

Ja, ik heb Scholma ook in beeld maar heb geen geluid.

@Wieger: Je kan voor de spelruimte eventueel ook de url: mms://video.utwente.nl/vrijhof-high gebruiken. We zijn ook druk bezig met een asx bestand zoals de andere stream. Groet, Laurens

Here is everything working fine. Only some ecos in the strong Auke´s voice !

firewall set to the lower degree
and i can see Auke,but i still can't here
anything

@Laurens: dank je, deze URL werkt onder linux!

Het beeld staat stil. Krijg de volgende mededeling:

Kan het bestand niet afspelen, omdat de server bezet is. Probeer het later opnieuw.

Beeld doet het weer.

Hello, To be sure: There are 2 types of streams: http://video.utwente.nl/vrijhof-high.asx (playroom, image above) http://vcdstream.student.utwente.nl/wkdammen.asx (eplanations) or if above doesn't work: mms://video.utwente.nl/vrijhof-high mms://vcdstream.student.utwente.nl/wkdammen Greetings, Laurens

And if you want both videostreams in your browser, you can browse to:

http://vcdstream.student.utwente.nl/wkdammen.htm

I think 27. 24-29 25-30 gives black control over the center and is therefore the best option

Heb nu beeld EN geluid van Auke Scholma. Goed om zijn nuchtere en deskundige commentaar te horen in plaats van het geneuzel over wat omsingeling in 't engels is

i think schwarzman overlook the essence of time where he invests much time for a move in the middle game. it seems as if he is going to defeat his opponent immediately when there are still many variations for a draw. thats why he runs out of time in the endgame.
georgiev is a fast player and has fully understood that 10x10 has more chances of draw than the 8x8 version.

Variation: 21.28-22 24-29 22. 34x29 18x29 23. 37-31 26x37 24.41x32 9-14 25. 32-28 14-19 26.46-41 12-18 27.39-34? 18-23! 28.38-32 19-24 29.28x30 7-12 30.34x29 25x34 31.40x29 13-18 32. 22x13 8x46

comment for game3

another delay for schwarzman!!!

maybe should Scholam tell, that hey must say the numbers

2 minutes for 10 pieces to dispose!!!

in the endgame he runs out of the thinking time and more possibility of mistakes and miscalculations!

schwarzman's coach must tell schwarzman to make it fast in theopening and middle game to have more time for the endgame where the position is highly decisive for a draw or loss...

43. database draw

Paul, nice combination, but unlikely to happen.
12-18? is a mistake.
39-34 is actually a strong move!
After 18-23* white plays 27-21 which results in a king for white.

You can download this game as pdn-file in the games menu.

Next game at 15:30

Next game starts at 15.30. The following breaks will be 15 minutes.

Het ontbreekt er alleen nog maar aan dat Van Beek en Teer een potje gaan dammen. Amateurs

who are those clowns?

If you refresh your screen (press f5) you will see the link to the analyse room under the gameboard.

Ouch Bart. I had not seen that.
Maybe Schwarzman missed a chance:)

Goedemiddag, kan het zijn dat de webcam het niet doet ?

het zou mooi zijn als "de 2 tovenaren" dit knipseltje van Norbert Parisot  L'Effort december 1995 op het bord zouden krijgen (het staat ong. int midden
Knipseltje

For everyone, just starting. Have some patience with the video. It is a slow starter. But without comments here, you may assume that both video channels are working properly.

Getting ready for the fast games. Will Auke be able to keep up with the speed of these games?

no applet, no video!  

Applet, Horizon, live video and comments all running properly.

appet: waiting for start of game!?????????

Hello everybody. I had a training today from Rik Keurentjes. He says that Georgiev will win. Schwarzman said before the tournament, that he thought he would lose, because the (mental) condition of Georgiev.

This is game 4, press next if you are on game 3

Simply use the refresh button !

Schwarzman will win this one

hello, first victory fot Schwarzman +1,10

Nice, the Beast beating back!

Congratulations to Schwarzman.

Moest even naar de Schrans in Huizum en betrapte daar twee dammers. Gauke Dirk Nijholt was er al tijdens de 3e partij tussenuit gepiept om wat voedsel in te slaan. Aan de overkant fietste Sijtze de Visser voorbij, maar goe. Dat is meer een  lid van verdienste dan een dammer.

Wat is er gebeurd met de breedte van de commentaarkolom. De hele tekst past niet meer in beeld.

Question for the organisation, is it possible to ask the audience to move away from in front of the board, so we can see what they are talking about?

@ Sietse Commentaarbreedte hersteld.
Gerben had een hele lange link geplaatst. Niet meer doen!

En de kansen zijn weer helemaal terug, maar liet Georgiev zich niet heel makkelijk onder de voet lopen?!

@Piet: Thanks man. All text is in view.

Les 1 op de jeugddamclub voor jeugdspelers, die iets willen laten zien op het demonstratiebord:
Als je aan de zijkant gaat staan, kan iedereen het zien.

ja sietse, je kunt niet de hele dag naar de live applets kijken

The beauty (Tjalling) against the beast now?

Kunnen de heren dammers even voortmaken, ik moet om 17.00 uur naar een BBQ, cq zuippartij...........
Alvast dank !!  

Georgiev was unrecognisable in game 4. He played some really abysmal moves, terrible.

Let's play again!

48-42? Of course 37-31x32 should be played we know now. 13-18 33-29 24x33 38x29 23-28!  The clou is that 42-38 is answered by one of Schwarzman's famous sacrifices: 16-21!! 27x16 28-33 with big advantage for black. 
In all his white games georgiev went to <15>....... 

schwarzman doet nog een paar vingeroefeningen, iets dat Georgiev niet hoeft te doen, wegens zijn conditie! Zal nog wel spannend worden, zo niet vandaag dan morgen. (ben ervan overtuigd dat morgen de beslissing gaat vallen)

Thank you very much to continue your comments in english

Piet, is het hier ook mogelijk (net als via toernooibase) om zo'n FLIP functie te maken zodat het bord gedraaid wordt?      

This is game 5, press next if you are on game 4!

Leo, die feestjes mag je ook wel eens overslaan :P:P

Ha mooi, Rotjoch roert zich, dat komt de sfeer immer ten goede dit positieve element en goot schrijftalent! Rotjoch, zo moeilijk wa smijn vraag niet wanneer de eerste beslissing zou vallen. Gewoon in de volgende partij was het juiste antwoord. Wat denk je, wie wint de volgende, Rotjoch, en nou niet jezelf verschuilen achter die mooie symmetrische rating van je, 696, wat was het ook alweer? 
Gisteren is trouwens een mooi lied van mij over Georgiev hier weggehaald, wat vind je nou van dergelijke censuur?

@Willem. Flip function is only available at Oerterp-applet. The dambo-applet has this function not (yet). Wieger has mailed me that in a new version they think to implant that.

Hoi Tjalling, een mooi lied zeg je, en dat over Georgiev nog wel, wellicht dat de vertolker van het lied vocaal niet aan de strenge eisen van de FMJD voldoet...........

i thought this was a serious site but it looks like i have signed in on damforum Fryslan

excusee voor mijn slappe geouwehoer, ik ben nu eenmaal snel afgeleid..........sorry

The FMJD only knows the hymne, which was played at the ceremony before the match began.

Lerak die de eerste partij vandaag zo saai vond, grijpt in als anderen niet meedoen aan zijn norm van 100% zuurpruimerij, wat een sfeermaker toch! 
Goed, ik houd m'n kop wel verder.

Dat is algemeen bekend leo.....

Commentaar blijven geven Tjalling, is juist geweldig. Dank hiervoor.

Please remarks on English and on the game!

Georgiev didn't punnish 31.45-40? with 14-20; 35-30 was obligatory with e retreat mpossibility  

Very polite for the foreign watchers of this game to talk Dutch, gentleman...

31.45-40 14-20 32.28-23 17-22 33.40-34 9-14 34.24-19!  13x24 35.34-30 4-10 36. x whit a better position for white.

Auke mentioned after 31. 28-23 (instead of 45-40) to play 18-22, but I think 17-22 would be even better.

This 'barrage' is great fun! The chess world has seen great tiebreakers live on the internet, bus as far as I know never combined with webcam

Did Georgiev miss a win??

31. 45-40??
Black could have won a piece (?) by:
14-20 28-23 (40-34 37-31 and 37-32 lose directly)  17-22! 40-34 4-10 (9-14? 24-19! 13x24 34-30 and white is saved) and white can't defend the piece on 23?!?

Can somebody remove the analysis audio stream from the match video?
Or am I the only one to find it not so logical to have an analysis video without sound (?) and a match video with the analysis sound. I would rather like to hear the players move the pieces and pressing the clock.

Furthermore, I guess only Dutch people are interested in the analysis by Scholma.

why not play 20 games and theone with
the most points wins the title
In case of a draw ,The worldchampion
retains the title
and what do you think of taking in account
the + or - draws  ?

In the analysis Auke just made, 31. 37-32 14-20 32x21 16x27 28-23 he played 09-14 which according to Flits is valued +0.31, while 17-22 gets the value +1.03.

huangdi, are you chinese?

Compliments for the organisation!  Scholma sounded like Schwarzenegger for a while, but when i pushed some buttons everythings seems to work now! Nice to watch the live demonstrations in this way!  

For those who like to experiment I have prepared a new version of dambolite. It will show the last match of today at 10x10.org/dao/wc2009.html. It comes with a companion tool, called dao, that can be used to play along with the game to test your ideas on certain positions. All comments on these tool are welcome at info@10x10.org.

at last I had my full screen with both players back after pressing :launch in external player; I didn't know what it meant but it worked!! terrific again, to seen both players so near (and so far away). complimenten aan de organisatie!! - Jan

@Bart de Vos, I don't see it win a piece for Georgiev in that variant. White can play 37-32 09-14 32x21 16x27 24-19 and 34-30

We will not change anything a few minutes before the start of the last game of today. Mute the volume if you do not want to hear Auke Scholma. It is thanks to the devoted and expert technicians here at the University Twente that we are able to broadcast two videostreams instead of one. 
My apologies for the imperfections!

@ Groeneveld!! 6 games!! I like it!!

bu shi, wo keyi shuo zhongguo hua, ... yi dian dian ...

The short translation is : no.

Is this the last game for today?

If  after 31. ... 14-20 white plays 37-31, black wins as follows:
17-21! 31x22 18x27. Then, white is forced to play 28-23 and black plays 9-14!  threatening with a simple combination which cant be avoided by either 43-39 (27-31) or 33-28 (14-19 27-31).
After 24-19 13x24 40-34 black can play 8-13 34-30 13-18 27-31 36x27 21x32 20-24 29x20 18x47 with an endgame with 1 extra piece.

@Belfastchild, I don't see it win a piece for Georgiev in that variant. White can play 37-32 09-14 32x21 16x27 24-19 and 34-30 

> Mm, that seems like a narrow escape

@organisation: I noticed that the combination of multiple frames, firefox, and multiple applets at one page, is challenging. The result seems to be that quite often the applets do not appear on the page, or appear stating "waiting for start of game". I would advise to move the archived games on a totally separate page to hopefully get a more stable result.

Don't get me wrong all-in-all the web-presentation is, despite these imperfections, great!

@Huub: Your comments are highly appreciated.

It was a very interesting day today, some nice game too watch, and fantastic effort from the organisation to add a second webcam. This is a great way to let the world watch what happens in a World championship. Thanks very very much to the organisation and I am looking forward to tomorrow's grand finale

know about filipino dammen, log on to http://filipinodama.webs.com...

What happend if now will be draw?? How much games will be after this??

It is draw. How much games will be??

Tomorrow (Sunday 21-06) we will start at 11.00 local time. Three micromatches will be played. This match will be decided tomorrow.
Thanks for watching today!
