10.0 - Jumbo 0.4.17 64-bit

Hi Graham,

the performance of Jumbo in this tournament is really very bad. I know about statistics but nevertheless 18-20 instead of 10 points would have been the expected result from 30 games in this group. Jumbo performs at about Elo 2200 although the strength of 0.4.17 is clearly higher than that of all previous versions and should be around 2350. In this tourney 0.4.17 performs as if it were 0.4.16, for instance.

Do you have a debug log for me, from any game? Maybe against Absolute Zero to which Jumbo lost all three games so far?

Incredible ...

Of course, most likely it is simply "bad luck". Or there are serious problems with LTC which do not pop up at STC but that would be far-fetched since Jumbo does not do a lot of pruning.

Anyway, thanks for the time you spend for running the tournament!
