What's up with Dansah and Hermann, I guess they are good blitzers...long time control and blitz does differ?it would be good if it differs, that way we can see which programs are good blitzer and viceversa...as opposed to relying on our popular belief that most programs play at their level at any time control.
DanaSah is an engine that plays better blitz, it is safe, for example, last year in CTT9 I had many problems with the games slow and finish on the post 30-35, in contrast to the tournament blitz was on the post 12-15 and playing every game against the best programs. The best result of DanaSah I think that has been reaching the second division of Swami even in the third division were Movei or Crafty.
Do DanaSah worse in games played slow? Well, I am not sure, in Wbec I always have good results, now DanaSah is very close to the head, and far of engines as AICE or ANT, the same as DanaSah, Hermann. DanaSah and Hermann have done well in OpenWar remaining in the post 20 and 21, over many engines that play in this division.
So it is difficult to draw conclusions.
In my opinion DanaSah prefer:
- DanaSah likes to use as a GUI Winboard, likes to use own books version 3 or below, he likes to ponder (I think danasah has a bad time management and ponder helps adjusting, WBEC and OpenWar have ponder and own books).
- I am also certain otherwise, DanaSah prefers engines as rivals to the second or third division of Graham, he plays better against Chessmaster, Crafty, Trace that against BBChess for example, the latest version of DanaSah has taken nearly 40/40 2650 points when he played with better engines and yet playing with the fourth division have problems with the 2500 points.
