Hi Gabriel,

I had the same problem.

It seems to work if you reduce the hash table size to 512k.

The x64 version will be released in the middle of May....

Seems to be the strongest x32 engine on one core.

Code: Select all

Games Completed = 850 of 10000 (Avg game length = 7.112 sec)
Settings = RR/16MB/50ms per move/M 700000cp for 1000 moves, D 3000 moves/PGN:C:\Users\Downloads\LittleBlitzer\swcr.pgn(5120)
Time = 10402 sec elapsed, 111972 sec remaining
 1.  Houdini 1.5a w32         	370.0/850	202-312-336  	(L: m=312 t=0 i=0 a=0)	(D: r=254 i=41 f=40 s=1 a=0)	(tpm=47.4 d=11.4 nps=1076409)
 2.  Strelka 5.5              	480.0/850	312-202-336  	(L: m=202 t=0 i=0 a=0)	(D: r=254 i=41 f=40 s=1 a=0)	(tpm=55.5 d=12.1 nps=968204)

Code: Select all

    Program                            Score     %     Elo    +   -    Draws

  1 Strelka 5.5                    : 480.0/850  56.5   3223   18  18   39.5 %
  2 Houdini 1.5a w32               : 370.0/850  43.5   3177   18  18   39.5 %
Strelka 5.5 is stronger than Houdini 1.5a x32 on one core by 46 +/- 18 points (95%) at this ultra-short control, probably a bit stronger than Houdini 2.0.


I insert a dendrogram (the new Strelka included), closer to 0 on horizontal axis to the common "ancestor" - engines are more similar as move choices go.

Thanks, Kai. So, it is tweaked but still quite similar to Houdini. Though, it appears that the tweaks are very effective.

Huh? :shock: Prédateur behaves strangely and finds a mate in... 7!!! (In less than four minutes):

1. Ng4, Bf3+; 2. Ke3, Bxg4; 3. Kf4, Bh3; 4. Qxh3+, Bh2; 5. Kf3, f1=Q+; 6. Qxf1+, Bg1; 7. Qg2#

EDIT: and Critter 1.4 finds a #9 in 4.55 seconds.

It is not that it is too difficult for Strelka, simply Strelka was designed to only announce for mate when the position reach mate within 8, but that does not mean that it will lose a game versus an opponent when there is mate with more than 8 :wink:

Here I tested the same position but one position ahead reducing it to mate in 8:

It is not that it is too difficult for Strelka, simply Strelka was designed to only announce for mate when the position reach mate within 8, but that does not mean that it will lose a game versus an opponent when there is mate with more than 8 :wink:

Here I tested the same position but one position ahead reducing it to mate in 8:

The most important thing for an engine is to be able to select the correct move in a given position, for instance in this position Bf8+ is the correct move even if the engine does not announce mate in +M24
