Well, great start for Myrddin drawing Amyan! Hopefully that's not the end of its luck.

Thanks again for the tournament!

Wow! Quite surprising performance for Myrddin, considering I haven't done anything with it in over four years. Between Group C and Graham's, its CCRL rating might go up...well...a point.

Now I get to watch it be completely destroyed in Group B.

Can't believe Myrddin has an outside chance to promote, given its first very unlucky draw to Protej. Very exciting!

But it looks a bit silly...

No sillier than some endgames (or even conversion to endgames) from engines using endgame tablebases....

Hi HG,

I'd like Myrddin to participate this month (and hopefully not disconnect). Myrddin will be logged in, but I may not be home in time to join the tournament. If so, could you do it for me, please?

Thanks!

I recall that one thing I tried when I was having a similar problem (or, at least, I suspected there was something wrong with repetition detection), was not saving positions to the TT that were given a draw score due to repetition. I think it pointed me in the right direction, but it was so long ago...

Is everybody else engine seeing the only good move for white (Qf5) ? or after Kh2 the good move for black Rf7 ? Even Myrddin, a much weaker engine than Minic, sees that Qf5 is best after only a few seconds, and gives it a draw score. It takes even less time than that, after Kh2, to see that Rf7 giv...

ATM, I'm seeing LC0 up to 12.0 to 10.0 after 22 games. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, that is definitely not a "killing".
