Zappa fillets the Fish: Mexico 2007Match vs Rybka - Mexico 2007By Anthony CozzieIn September 2007 my program Zappa played a 10 game match withRybka, the reigning World Computer Chess Champion, and defeated it bythe score of 5.5-4.5, winning a prize fund of $10000. This came asquite a surprise to the computer chess world, as most spectators hadpredicted that Rybka would win by a large margin. Writing thesereports is always more fun after a victory, and it's especially sweetwhan no one gave you a chance to win in the first place.
I spentabout a week in Mexico, and aside from nervously cheering on myprogram I also did some sightseeing, met some GMs, and generallyenjoyed myself. Playing Erdo after the match. Erdo wasabout to win when the arbiter declared a draw. I blame the bacteriain the water. Photo stolen from Paul Truong.Mexico City really reminded me of a flatter Harlem NY. There weresome really nice places, but most things were just a bit run-down,like New York. Still, aside from Spanish advertisements andwidespread graffiti I didn't feel that out of place.
Many of thebillboards hawk American products, and both Americans and Mexicansdrive Japanese cars. Mexicans, however, are very passionate; it wastough to walk more than a few blocks without seeing a couple playingtonsil hockey. I offered to help our waitress practice but shedemurred. We also went to see the Sun and Moon pyramids. Somehowthey had a slightly malevolent air, not something I usually associatewith geometric shapes.
The faces are mostly smooth but have largenumbers of jagged rocks protruding a foot or two. Erdo and Ispeculated that these were added to bash in the skulls ofunenthusiastic victims who tried to slide down the pyramid tofreedom.I had a long discussion with Frederic Friedel (of Chessbase) andVasik Rajlich (the author of Rybka) about Libertarianism and humansacrifice. It is easy after you have readThe Vision of the Anointed and The Fatal Conceit. Thebasic idea is that some cultural traits work better than others. Forexample, human sacrifice not only kills your own people who, even ifthey are slaves, are the greatest source of a nation's power, but alsotends to annoy the neighbors, which is why Hernando Cortes was able toenlist thousands of Indians help his few hundred Spaniards against theAztecs.
