Drawkiller Openings: new V1.5

Post by pohl4711 »

There is an update for my Drawkiller Openings to V1.5.

https://www.sp-cc.de/drawkiller-openings.htm

New: I added a small openings-set with 500 positions / opening-lines, which gave the lowest draw-rate and the widest spread Elo-results of all Drawkiller openings!

Test results:
(asmFish 170426 vs. Komodo 10.4, 5'+3'' time-control, singlecore, no ponder, no endgame-bases, LittleBlitzerGUI, 1000 games each testrun(!) except Noomen Gambit-lines (only 246 positions, so 492 games were played) and Noomen TCEC Superfinal (only 100 positions, so 200 games were played))

Stockfish Framework standard 8 move openings: Score 60.3% – 39.7%, draws: 63.4%
FEOBOS v20 contempt 5 top 500 openings: Score 58.7% - 41.3%, draws: 64.1%
HERT 500 set: Score: 60.6% - 39.4%, draws: 60.4%
Noomen Gambit-Lines: Score 59.1% - 40.9%, draws: 59.3%
4 GM-moves short book: Score 60.5% - 39.5%, draws: 57.1%
Noomen TCEC Superfinal (Season 9+10): Score: 62.5% - 37.5%, draws: 50.0%
SALC V5 half-closed: Score 61.6% - 38.4%, draws: 49.2%
SALC V5 full-closed 500 positions: Score 66.5% - 33.5%, draws: 47.7%

Drawkiller (Big set): Score 63.8% - 36.2%, draws: 39.5%
Drawkiller (Normal set): Score: 65.3% - 34.7%, draws: 33.5%
Drawkiller (Tournament set): Score: 65.3% - 34.7%, draws: 33.5%

New in V1.5:
Drawkiller (small 500 set): Score: 66.4% - 33.6%, draws: 30.5% (!!!)
