Gambit Tournament, first results available

Post by Rebel »

Ratings of chess engines are well established on the known rating lists. Will anything change when we feed engines with only (playable) gambit positions?

We carefully created 50 gambit opening positions to find out.

With 6 top entries that means 500 games each. First run at 40/2 ccrl style as a warming up followed by the real thing 40/15 ccrl style.

In the 40/15 tournament Lc0 v27 (default net) will participate also but it will play at 40/2 to overcome the GPU hardware advantage.
