Yes - both Vitruvius and DeepSaros need to be set for 3CPU. When set to 4CPU, they want to use more than that.

Thank you for that hint Graham. I will take a look at this. Especially if Saros reaches the final tournament. My hope is for Spike reaching the final. SAros produces too much crashes and I am not in the mood for replaying crashed games. Maybe I take Saros out at all.

I won't use DeepSaros with 4CPU either, as I have the same problem.

If you use MinkoChess, make sure to use the author's compile. I had problems with Jim's one.

Hello Computerchess enthusiasts

the Final Step of the KO tournament is started.
Participants are

Houdini 2.0c pro x8 (because of 8 cores)
Critter 1.6a x8
Rybka 4.1 x8
Stockfish 2.2.2 JA x8
Saros ver. 3.0 x8

round robin tour, 6 rounds = 60 games, timecontrol = 40moves / 60 minutes + 40moves / 60 minutes + 60 minutes
all engines use 8 cpu(no hyperthreading), 64 bit and sse4 if possible, no tablebases
ponder = ON
4096 MB hashtables
DeepFritz 13 gui with 3-4 men Nalimov
Grandmasterbook limit 5 moves

I hope all engines run stable.

enjoy :-)

best regards, Clemens Keck

It is easy: you must write [d] just before the FEN string of the desired position. Please ask again if you have more doubts. Here it is if I am not wrong:

[d]rrq5/2p2b2/3p3k/pNpPp1pp/P1P1Pp1b/1N1R1P1P/1P1Q2P1/K4R2 w - -

From my patzer POV, 40.- Nxc5 breaks the pawn chain and is a beautiful move, impossible for me.

Congratulations for your tests. I sometimes see some of your games and they are too entertaining. Thank you for your effort!

Regards from Spain.

Ajedrecista.

Hello

the Elimination tour is over.

FINAL tour (8cpu, ponder ON) and the WINER is :

Deep Rybka 4.1

congratulations to Rybka !! :)

Average daily hits on the website was 50, some peaks >100. So this is not too bad. Thank you!

regards, Clemens Keck

my next project will be Hiarcs 14 gauntlets.
