Hi, folks!
Lately I have been working on improving the eval of my engine, which so far has come at the expense of the speed. I have two versions of my engine, let's call them Matt and Eve, which I linked below. One has an improved evaluation, the other is the stable version, but I won't tell you which is which for now. If, unlike me, you understand chess could you give me your opinion on the positional play of these two engines and which you prefer more?
Regards,
Matt http:///www.zurichess.xyz/binaries/matt-windows-amd64.exe
Eve http:///www.zurichess.xyz/binaries/eve-windows-amd64.exe
I can provide binaries for other platforms if needed.

Hmmm Matt sounds like 'material and 'eve' like 'eval' :)brtzsnr wrote:Hi, folks!

I will try to collect test games and look at them, but not before
next weekend.
How much is the speed/depth diff in your measurements so far?

Not quite. zurichess is about 2800 or CCRL 40/40 so the eval is more complicated than "material" only.Guenther wrote: Hmmm Matt sounds like 'material and 'eve' like 'eval'

I measured about 10-30 Elo difference depending on the platform (arm64 vs amd64). I'm deliberately omitting details not to bias you or anyone else in their assessment. I promise to give more details later.Guenther wrote: How much is the speed/depth diff in your measurements so far?

Re: need some help assessing the evaluation
Would you happen to have Linux binaries for Mat and Eve? Id love to take a look at the two engines, but my laptop doesn't have windows.

Re: need some help assessing the evaluation
I usually don't have much trouble running Windows engines under Linux using Wine. You may want to give that a try.jorose wrote:Would you happen to have Linux binaries for Mat and Eve? Id love to take a look at the two engines, but my laptop doesn't have windows.
EDIT: I just ran this, and it seems to work:
