Today we can announce that Fridays are becoming Marathon Fridays on PlayStrategy! Starting in May, we are introducing 'Yearly' tournaments (arena) for all our variants.
As usual @PST-Greedy-Tom will be entered to ensure players get games, please join us for these events and let’s make sure that the bot doesn’t win any of them!
The first Yearly Marathon starts on Friday 5th May UTC (00:00) and will be Standard Chess playstrategy.org/tournament/1FxrLzDI

Yearly Marathon tournaments – for all variants
Great! I hope that a lot of people will play this marathons!
Oh wow. This looks a bit too much but sounds interesting. Lets hope it will have lot of players!!!
And how is that?Will the bot make random moves or what?
The bot is ps-greedy-two-move, so it will be looking 2 moves ahead and not random.
I didn't understand.Can I go into more detail?
sure, what don't you understand?
WHY DID THE BOT WIN SO MANY GAMES?
<Comment deleted by user>
Its win rate in the Chess Yearly Tournament was only 21%. It looks like it won so many games simply by playing so many. If the bot's always around in a 24 hour tournament and you have dozens of people coming and going one or two at a time, it's going to give the bot a natural advantage in the number of points it can accrue.
