Run a new RR with uci elo 1500 engines at TC 60s+100ms. New engines are Rybka, Rodent, Danasah with engine opponent setting, new version of Stockfish and my new engine version. Thanks for testing DanaSah. I have a new version (beta) with limited strength, I think I didn't publish it here. If you do...

Any advice to tune engine parameters to correspond to the right UCI_Elo value ? In Cheese I have 2 parameters, one to make very small pauses every N nodes, and another one to add randomness to the evaluation under 2000 ELO. If we cannot find a reference engine and corresponding UCI_Elo value we mig...

Once I have played a series of games and I have the file data.log, if I run the test again and use the file, in each run I have different results and the results seem quite random. ... Using [8.0, 90.0, 5.0, 114.0] => 0.5 from log-file Using [1.0, 144.0, 1.0, 121.0] => 0.0 from log-file Using [9.0, ...

There is a thread in which Larry Kaufman indicates that he estimated that it could be passed from Elo CCRL to Elo FIDE with: Elo FIDE = 0.75 x Elo CCRL + constant. Kai seems to have done a study and gave the formula: Elo FIDE = 0.7 x Elo CCRL + 840 I guess the Kai formula is for CCRL 40/40 and I don...

I suggest that you face engines of approximately 1600 Elo CCRL points and see if you can win them by complying with time control. If the engine plays in 15 seconds and you respond in 2 minutes, you are using 8 times more time, this could mean by your rule of 75 points; 75 + 75 + 75 = 225 points mor...

Uri, The article tries to establish a relationship between the Aktiv list of dedicated chess machines and the FIDE list. The fact that the Elo FIDE starts at 1000 points or the Elo USCF at 100 is not something critical for what the article tries to explain. The article is not recent, maybe 4 years o...

Well, that's a surprise for sure. Nice of Daniel to add that UCI support. I have gone into the dark side Tony :) There was no adapter for linux and windows wb2uci seem to cause time failures .. Anyway I must say though UCI is a real pain so I don't know why so many are fixated on it. For one, I sti...

Just wanted to mention I was successfully able to retune Winter's futility and static null move pruning margins with this tool. I measured a self play rating gain of +9 +- 3 Elo roughly.

Can you indicate what parameters you used when calling tune.py?

I was also tuning those 2 parameters

I find the new version that gives more comments in pgn file as interesting pgn. But I see that PV is also shown on the console and this is not good for me, I try to play 7 concurrent games and litte movetime, so seeing all the PV seems more annoying than interesting information, besides not being ab...

You say: (3) I'm incorrectly calculating the CCRL Elo for the time limits I play (I usually play about 12-15 seconds per move for the engine, but unlimited time to reply for me) In my opinion if you want to calculate a CCRL rating, then you should play with the same time as the engine. If you are a...
