i have been meaning to toy around with this engine for some time, but the GUIs i primarily use didnt seem to support it.

miguel, do you have an estimate of what its human elo would be? nothing i'm going to hold you to, but after seeing hundreds/thousands of games i assume you have at least a rough feel for its strength. i see ccrl rates an older version 2600, which is quite surprising to me as i recall it being verrrrry slowww and primarily a 'knowledge' engine. but i'll know more soon.

at some point i am going to pester you/the board about these GTBs, but until then -- thanks!


Certainly more than 2500, less than 2700, in current hardware. It does not search deep, but it has a difficult style for a human. It generally chooses positions with active pieces, which are not easy to play for us. Gaviota has many holes in evaluation, but it understands well where to place the pieces and keep the pressure (relatively speaking). That is why it has this Jekyll/Hyde style. One game will look awful, but the following, it may look like Kasparov. Certain classic positions are surprisingly good for Gaviota (Ruy Lopez, French, Slav), and others are not (most Sicilians).

Miguel
