Glaurung 2-e/2 - quick test

Post by Dariusz Orzechowski »

Hi,

CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 4200+
GUI: Arena 1.1
Book: Arena mainbook
Hash: 64MB
5m/game

Code: Select all

  Engine          Score          Gl
1: Glaurung 2-e/2  22,0/50 ·········· 
2: Naum 2.0        8,0/10  ===11111=1 
3: Spike 1.2 Turin 5,5/10  010=111010 
4: Rybka 1.0 beta  5,0/10  0101==0==1 
4: Toga II 1.3x4   5,0/10  1=10010=01 
6: Pharaon 3.5.1   4,5/10  10=10001== 
May be it's just a statistical fluke but result of Naum 2.0 is impressive. Did anyone also noticed that Naum 2.0 is a very tough opponent for the new Glaurung? Apart from that, Glaurung did very well against these formidable opponents and I'm looking forward to testing the final Glaurung 2 release.

One note about the name of Glaurung.

It is not 2-e/2 but 2-epsilon/2.

It is important because e has a different mathematical meaning than epsilon and 2-e/2<1

Thank you for this 'splitting hairs' remark missing so flashily the point of my post.

But it seems that you missed the point about the name of the program in the first place...

About your remark: Naum won the 10 games match by 8-2, and so what? In the next 10 games it could as well be 1-9.

It is risky to draw any conclusion on a 10 games match.

I said, that maybe it's just a statistical fluke, but I wanted to know if someone else observed that Naum 2.0 is a particulary tough opponent for the new Glaurung. Can't put it any clearer. Spelling of the name of the program is irrelevant to this point of my post.
BTW. Naum 2.0, not Naum, this is important! :twisted:

sorry for not answering your question(I simply do not know if Naum2.0 is not convenient opponent for glaurung) but Tord in the past also complained about giving glaurung wrong name so I considered it as important.

calling glaurung 2epsilon/2(as other did) or 2-e/2(as you did) is simply wrong.

I agree that it is important to mention the version number of Naum if you give results of it so you did correctly when you mentioned Naum2.0 but Christophe did nothing wrong when he wrote "Naum" because Christophe did not give results of it and after Naum2.0 was mentioned by you it is clear that he meant to the same Naum that you mentioned.

No problem for me, I understand what 'epsilon' is. In my small tournament I used 'e' for 'epsilon' because I can't type Greek letters and to avoid overly long name.

I decided to extend my gauntlet to 20 (maybe more) rounds and see what happens. I simply have no time to run hundreds or thousands of games, so I asked if anyone can confirm that the new Glaurung has problems with Naum 2.0. Apparently this is not the case, so maybe it's just a statistical fluke, time will tell.
