Performance against Phalanx not as good as expected, but still not too bad. I hope she will continue to perform as good as it did so far.

63.3 % vs DanaSah 2.85 is huge for Romi ! :D

I hope that we can get the engine to the 3rd division by next edition if not to second. I know that Leo will promote an engine directly two divisions up if it scores well enough to get a rating that high. In the case of Romi, I doubt that she can pull off such a high score.

One division up the rating list will be a good achievement,I don't want the bitch to get overheated :lol:

Why do you talked about this stuff in public ?

Post by Daniel Mehrmann »

This whole thread is just about internal testing of romi books.
That's great of course, i'm a fan of romi, but why do you do this stuff in public ???

I'm not interested and i guess a lot of people as well.

Maybe posting the final results is enought. All other stuff should be done between developer and tester via e-mail as all other developers and tester guys doing it too !! And it's not Michael fault here....

Is it soooooo difficult ?

:roll:

Best,
Daniel

Tony has tested the last couple of Romi betas under the same conditions (including the same book). His excitement (and mine) is that this beta seems to have taken another big jump in strength. The opening book talk is just side talk and not the point of the thread. But, I understand that the side talk is not interesting to most!

I have only tested one book and that's all. Michael adviced me that if I used a book made from grand07.pgn in combination with the current book, it will help his engine score an additional 8% or so. I responded
Also, you know that changing the books a lot can skew the rating a lot, you wnt be able to tell weather it was the engine or the book
May be you wish you had a tester like me. After all this is the tournament forum and here I can post about any kind of test involving a chess engine. People posts results of 100 different versions of Rybka, using 100 different books, and 100 different setttings, you dont seem to be questioning them.

The rating of Romi has dropped a lot, but here are the current standings....Yes, she is still at 4th place. I guess I am gonna have to pick new opponents as she out performs about 75% of her 12 opponents. I am gonna have to let go of most of the opponents towards the end of the list and find new ones that are stronger than Zappa. I might even add a commercial engine.
