Tournament of the Also-Rans

[Adam Hair]

Also-ran is a term from horse racing for a horse that finishes outside the top three.

My use of the term is for weaker engines, old and new, that have not been tested for the CCRL blitz list. Besides Oliver DeVille (Chess War) and Leo Dijksman (WBEC), most people do not spend time testing these engines. Two years ago, Carlos Pagador did a great job creating a list called "Battle of the Forgotten" which highlighted these engines. Though many people's interest lies with the strongest engines (and I must admit, I can not wait for Komodo 4 and the next version of Critter), there are a handful of us, authors and enthusiasts, who like these unsung engines. For myself, I like watching some of these engines play because I can understand their moves .

The intent of my testing is to included many of the engines into the CCRL 40/4 rating list. Thus, they will be tested under the exact same conditions that I use for all other engines. Also, engines that I deem to be a bit too troublesome will be dropped from the tests. I will report any problems that I come across for all to see. I hope my efforts will highlight some nice engines (and their authors) for others to appreciate, and maybe even play against.

The first part of my testing consist of each canidate engine playiing a 4 round gauntlet against the bottom 30 engines from the CCRL 40/4 rating list (Note: I have had some trouble making Cecir run properly, so I replaced it with Dabbaba). The test conditions are as follows:

OS: Windows XP 64-bit
GUI: Arena 2.01
Time Control: 40 moves in 3 minutes, repeating (conforms to 40/4 on CCRL reference computer)
Starting Positions: 17,909 positions 4 moves deep
Rating Program: Bayeselo

Here are results for the first set of engines:
The games used to construct this list included CCRL games played between the bottom 30 engines from the CCRL 40/4 rating list

there's a player on FICS called fjjvh. This program is so weak... It's almost as good as a random move generator. You might want to test this one (although I dont know where to find it).

[smatovic]

cool, thanks.

Here is the bottom end of a personal rating list of mine. BrutusRND and I believe Ram are random movers (HGM is the author of Ram).

I don't think I will carry it out this far again. The engines (other than the random movers) at the very bottom are buggy. Adjudicating their games was and would be a big headache.

Also-ran is a term from horse racing for a horse that finishes outside the top three.

My use of the term is for weaker engines, old and new, that have not been tested for the CCRL blitz list. Besides Oliver DeVille (Chess War) and Leo Dijksman (WBEC), most people do not spend time testing these engines. Two years ago, Carlos Pagador did a great job creating a list called "Battle of the Forgotten" which highlighted these engines. Though many people's interest lies with the strongest engines (and I must admit, I can not wait for Komodo 4 and the next version of Critter), there are a handful of us, authors and enthusiasts, who like these unsung engines. For myself, I like watching some of these engines play because I can understand their moves .

The intent of my testing is to included many of the engines into the CCRL 40/4 rating list. Thus, they will be tested under the exact same conditions that I use for all other engines. Also, engines that I deem to be a bit too troublesome will be dropped from the tests. I will report any problems that I come across for all to see. I hope my efforts will highlight some nice engines (and their authors) for others to appreciate, and maybe even play against.

The first part of my testing consist of each canidate engine playiing a 4 round gauntlet against the bottom 30 engines from the CCRL 40/4 rating list (Note: I have had some trouble making Cecir run properly, so I replaced it with Dabbaba). The test conditions are as follows:

OS: Windows XP 64-bit
GUI: Arena 2.01
Time Control: 40 moves in 3 minutes, repeating (conforms to 40/4 on CCRL reference computer)
Starting Positions: 17,909 positions 4 moves deep
Rating Program: Bayeselo

Here are results for the first set of engines:
The games used to construct this list included CCRL games played between the bottom 30 engines from the CCRL 40/4 rating list

I think this is really great that you are doing this. All these authors deserve recognition for their work. They work just as hard ad anyone else.


Best,

I don't think I will carry it out this far again. The engines (other than the random movers) at the very bottom are buggy. Adjudicating their games was and would be a big headache.
