Deep Junior 13 Welcome Test

[TimoK]

Hello everybody,

having fun watching Clemens' "Myth Buster" (DJ13 vs. Houdini 1.5a) I decided to let Junior play against two more strong opponents.

My conditions:

- played with Netchess on 4 Computers (maintenance station is my Atom-Netbook)
- CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 @ 3GHz
- engines use 6 Threads, 1GB Hash
- TC: 40 moves in 120min, 60min for the rest (so max game length is 6h)
- Junior uses 5-men Nalimov-TBs, Critter uses 5-men Gaviota-TBs (each running from a fast SSD)
- Noomen Opening Suite 2012 testset (30 openings), every engine has to play every opening with white and black

Have fun watching the games!

Best regards

Hi Timo,

Thank you for the broadcast. And I am envious of your equipment

Thank you for the broadcast.

Hi Adam,

thank you for watching. Let's see if DJ13 is able to repeat its good performance played at Clemens' "Myth Buster" match.

And I am envious of your equipment

I'm working for an IT-company and so I'm able to buy computer stuff VERY cheaply. For one of these Phenom computers I payed about 300€. Some people buy one expensive computer with multiple cores and so on for 2000€ and more. I decided to buy a few cheap ones which resulted in more testing capacity...

Best regards

Thanks, I am very curious. DJ 13 outplays quite often Houdini 1.5 in the middlegame, almost as often as the opposite, at those controls and hardware, being generally weaker tactically. Pretty weird.

I would have done the same.

I am following these two matches and the one against Houdini pretty closely! I am trying to figure out whether or not to buy the new Junior. Thanks for doing this.

[TimoK]

Match is on hold for 15-30min. There where a few hangs that caused trouble in 2 of the games. I will restart it soon using a later version of the GUI.

Was the second game against Critter affected? I didn't follow the part where Critter was supposedly losing decisively.

Yeah, in the second game against Critter there was a break after move 39 which caused Critter to lose on time.

Now the matches are restarted with latest GUI version (F13).
