Engine Chess

Hello,

I retired from a computer business at the end of 2004. Don't ever retire its boring.

My hobby is computer vs computer chess which I work at (when home) everyday.
I play chess in the Engine Room on playchess.com, using the handle of PAKman.
I used the program Rybka 2.3.2a with default setting except server buffer checked, and tablebase usage normal. My playing computer is a water cooled Intel Q6600@3200MHz, 2GHz Memory, 2 Hard Drives in RAID=0, Using a custom Opening Book ( Like Everyone Else ) , and 3-5 Endgame Tablebases. Details of the PAKman machine can be found in the Overclocking Section.

I play over the board chess occasionally at the Charlotte Chess Club. Even though I am not very good I enjoy the game very much. At 69 I realize that I should have started playing at a much earlier age.
