tomitankChess 3.0

Post by tomitank »

Hi all!

I'm 30 years old today and I want to announce tomitankChess 3.0,

the new version of the world's strongest JavaScript engine!

Now only the "Blocker & Beyond attacks" versions available!

What has changed?
--------------------------------------------------------

1.) Evaluation

- new pawn shield code (idea from Senpai 2, but a bit better)

- use 3x3 squares king ring (idea from Senpai 2)

- new king safety code (simple, but bit better)

- all parameters scoring by logistic regression

2.) Search

- no change, maybe in next version (I can probably win a lot here)

3.) Others

- better time management (take more time when unsure)

- 4-way transposition table

- lots of little things (revisited code)

--------------------------------------------------------

Estimated strength: ~100 elo stronger than previous version. (~2800 elo)

First JavaScript engine that is stronger than Fruit 2.1!

In C language, with 1 core, it would be over 2900 elo. On 4 core it would be over 3000 elo.

--------------------------------------------------------

tomitankChess (with node.js) run in Arena, WinBoard and Cutehess as well.

Have fun with tomitankChess!

Please use the new (included) logo!

Really nice progress!! I'll include it in my next CCLS Season.

One thing though, I think you're being a bit optimistic with ratings. CCRL has listed tomitankChess 2.0 64-bit at 2616 and in my own rating list (which is very similar to CCRL) it's at 2576. You might want to review your numbers :mrgreen:

Yes JavaScript is slow. However, my machine is quite competitive. (i5-7600K 4.2GHZ)
On this machine, tomitankChess easily beat Fruit 2.1 and It showed around 2800 elo performance..

..anyway, I look forward to the results :)

Hi CMCanavessi!

https://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4 ... 3_0_64-bit

The previous version was overestimated. However, this one much better than the previous version. ;)

(It might be worth writing in C)

Are there partial results?

Nice! Almost 2800 CCRL! I haven't started my Season 6 yet, still waiting to select the last 3 engines and running some other things right now. Will probably start within a month.
