After his son's birth they've asked him:
"Is it a boy or girl?"
YES! He replied.....

I am too. Without implying anything indirectly, it's a fact these days that new programs are hiking to top places every once in a while.
In the "older" days, this wasn't happening by any means and we had a clear distinction in strength terms to professionals and amateurs where the pros were much stronger and couldn't be reached, e.g Fritz, Shredder, Junior, Hiarcs, Rebel, Tiger all had a league of their own and the others just followed. And situation went this way for years and years.
Right now every single while a new engine hikes and takes a place in the top positions.
I think everything started with Fruit's 2.1 open code , didn't they?

I think also that Stockfish has great ideas in it.
Also, testing procedures have improved greatly.
Still, it is amazing when someone who fiddles around for a hobby can club professionals who do it for a living (I saw another list where Critter tops Fritz 12 also).

Indeed! My early results show it's close behind, if not equal to Rybka, but still a tad weaker than Houdini. However, Critter pulls off some amazing attacks. An engine to watch for sure. Do we know if Critter is a original program ?

Re: Critter stronger than Naum?
I was looking at the rules/conditions of the Ipon rating lists, and it states that all engines run on 1 core. Is this an accurate test? Is it possible the Naum either scales better than Critter, or for other reasons, Naum with 4 cores > Critter with 4 cores?
I am disputing the Ipon rating list, just questioning it. Has anybody taken the time to compare the results of engine matches, using 1 core, against matches with the exact conditions, except the engines use 4 cores?
Why do the ipon people test with 1 core - can they get in 4x the amount of games in the same amount of time this way?

Lots of people live in the dark ages, which is to say, they have a 32 bit CPU and operating system and only one core.

That's all that a lot of people need, so I wouldn't castigate them for it.Dann Corbit wrote:Lots of people live in the dark ages, which is to say, they have a 32 bit CPU and operating system and only one core.
