Hi Norm :) , in all CEGT databases used for rating lists the duplicate games are deleted. For CEGT 40/400 there will never be a rating list. The reason is simply that it makes no sense to have one here, because a single game averagely lasts around 24 hours and it is not possible to collect enough g...

The problem of "duplicate games" is a problem that exists in all rating databases. Should a game count more than one time when computing the ratings? Even in this very small database there is a pair of duplicate games. [Event "CEGT Quad Extreme 40/400 repeated"] [Site "Engine Match"] [Date "2008.02....

It appears that one group "sees evil" and the other "sees no evil".

Petir4999999.exe works very well in Fritz9 (with Wb2Uci) on an AMD 3000+ using XP sp2.

Here's my idea for making a hybrid setting. It is based on the empirical and generally accepted observation that white scores approximately 33 elo points better than black. Therefore playing as black should use a more passive style than when playing as white. This is done on the GM level, I believe,...

Hi,

It is still not right. Each of the download links is linked to a pgn file of less than 1M in size.
