What of the people who already have 1 Year subscriptions and will get it anyway ? Will you extend it to 2 years ? :)

Komodo 9.3x give-away contest, ends 18:00h CET (Nov., 11th).

Post by Ajedrecista »

Hello Jesse:

Once the deadline was reached, I write my particular forecast after 24 games are played (+2 =22 -0 for Komodo).

I assigned probabilities in the following way: from Komodo POV, if there are w wins, d draws and l loses, the probabilities of win, draw or lose in the next game are prob_X = (X + 1)/(w + d + l + 3), where X = {w, d, l}. I do not remember the name of this well-known kind of assignation of probabilities, so someone write the name, please. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

program TCEC_forecast

implicit none

integer,parameter :: simul = 10000000  ! 1e+7 simulations.
integer :: i, j, K, SF, d, n(0:200)

real(KIND=2) :: probK, probSF, PRN, t0, t1
real :: points_K(1:simul)

t0 = cpu_clock@()  ! Start.

do i = 1,simul
  
  K = 2; SF = 0; d = 22  ! The result after the first 24 games.
  
  do j = 25, 100
    
    probK = (K + 1d0)/(K + SF + d + 3d0)  ! +3 due to {win, draw, lose}.
    probSF = (SF + 1d0)/(K + SF+ d + 3d0)  ! +3 due to {win, draw, lose}.
    
    PRN = random@()  ! PRN: pseudo-random number.
    
    if &#40;PRN < probK&#41; then
      K = K + 1  ! Komodo win.
    else if &#40;PRN > &#40;1d0 - probSF&#41;) then
      SF = SF + 1  ! SF win.
    else
      d = d + 1  ! Draw.
    end if
    
  end do

  points_K&#40;i&#41; = K + 0.5*d

end do

n = 0

do i = 1, simul
  do j = 26, 178  ! Minimum of Komodo&#58; 13 points = 26 half points; maximum of Komodo&#58; 89 points = 178 half points.
    if &#40;j == 2.0*points_K&#40;i&#41;) then
      n&#40;j&#41; =n&#40;j&#41; + 1
      exit
    end if
  end do
end do

write&#40;*,'&#40;I8,A&#41;') simul, ' simulations.'
write&#40;*,*)
write&#40;*,'&#40;A&#41;') '   K - SF      Simulations'
write&#40;*,*)
do i = 26, 178
  write&#40;*,'&#40;F4.1,A,F4.1,A,I8,A,F6.2,A&#41;') 0.5*i, ' - ', 100.0 - 0.5*i, '       ', n&#40;i&#41;, '   (', 1d2*n&#40;i&#41;/simul, ' %)'
end do
write&#40;*,*)

t1 = cpu_clock@()  ! Finish.

write&#40;*,'&#40;A,F7.2,A&#41;') 'Elapsed time&#58; ',&#40;t1-t0&#41;/3d9, ' seconds.'  ! 3 GHz in my PC.

end program TCEC_forecast

Elapsed time&#58;   93.49 seconds.
The mode of that discrete distribution is 53-47 in favour of Komodo, so this is my bet with no possible reward given the fact that I did not answer before the deadline.

I thought the competition asked for number of wins rather than points.

Yes, it asked for number of wins and number of losses. Each entry was given microsecond timestamps.

OK, then let's say 10:6 wins:losses of Komodo. How does one calculate the deviation from the correct answer?

Giga microsecond post time-stamp prediction.
