Division 4,3rd Edition:26 Engines!

Post by swami »

I have made a few changes and excluded some of the engines which have been initially registered,I apologize to the authors of the engine if they don't see their engines in the current list anymore.It's because I needed only 26 engines and that there was no update to some of the excluded engines and they had scored less points in previous edition and I have to make way for new engines.

and the corrected list of participants,once again:

01: AliUci408
01: Tornado_1_0_mainz
01: Gnuchess4TM
01: Lime_v62
01: Monarch(v1.7)

01: Matant 5.04
01: Mediocre
01: Rotor
01: Natwarlal
01: NagaSkaki *
01: GreKo
01: OBender *

If Obender plays at that time control then it might win, otherwise I like Greko.

I'm sorry to say this Tony but Obender plays too slow and does not take time into account and had a few time losses,while the other engines respond very well and I get good games.As for Greko, It's a great choice!That engine does played some great chess. :)

I just wanted to give you a hint about Obender. It never worked for me in fisher time control. Also I made a wrong choice as far as Greko is concerned. Among the well tested engines in my tournamnents Nano clearly scores better.

I get it ,Tony.Hope the author improves the time management for the engine.
Also I made a wrong choice as far as Greko is concerned. Among the well tested engines in my tournamnents Nano clearly scores better.
But I'm using a latest version of Greko (Greko 5.3),and that would add some elo to the the 5.2 that you use.

Code: Select all

 25 Zeus 1.28                      : 2314   24  25   660    39.2 %   2390   18.0 %
 26 GreKo 5.2                      : 2244   25  26   710    28.5 %   2404   16.2 %

Next time,refer to your list,Tony and make predictions based on that :wink: and that way you can overshadow Graham or Michael or anyone else except me,that comes your way :D

As much as I'd love to agree with you, LT doesn't do very well at such fast time controls :(
