How many of you have ordered the new Naum?

[Tony Thomas]

I just did, and how long did you wait before receiving it? What are your first impressions? I cant wait to play with it.

I like it certainly seems stronger that 2.1 the next 40/4 update will include Naum 2.2 64-bit 2CPU with 400+ games.

Currently there are a few games with Naum 2.2 at 40/4 here and a few 40/40 games here

For FRC there are reliable results (enough games) here

have fun with Naum 2.2

Better than Shaum
I just test Naum 2.2 with test positions and I can say to you
that Naum 2.2 it´s a surprise engine. Not the best in tactics or
endgames, but it solves some positions that surprised me.

I beat both of you by a big margin. Here is the timestamp from my email.

8/16/2007 4:50:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time

That means I got mine in less than two hours.

Dr. and Tony, you both have me a bit confused here. Naum 2.2 has been out since August 1- which is pushing 3 weeks. You guys are making it sound like it just came out today. ?????

My fault- that's nothing new.

Naum 2.2 seems like it has tremendous potential. I say that because I noticed that its MP implementation is not good. This would make it seem like there is a lot of room for improvement with simply improving MP code.

[Uri Blass]

In that case many engines have even more potential for improvement because they have no mp implementation.


Note that Naum is place 3 after rybka and zap based on cegt 40/120

http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/40_120_ ... liste.html

I think that the smp implementation is good based on cegt 40/20

16 Naum 2.2 x64 4CPU 2937 25 26 384 48.7 % 2946 46.4 %
32 Naum 2.2 x64 2CPU 2880 16 16 984 52.3 % 2864 42.6 %
54 Naum 2.2 w32 1CPU 2827 25 25 453 54.0 % 2799 41.3 %

I think that it is impressive that Naum earns rating from more cpu.

For comparison Deep Fritz10 cannot do the same based on cegt 40/20

25 Deep Fritz 10 2CPU 2892 11 11 2270 55.1 % 2857 36.5 %
44 Deep Fritz 10 4CPU 2853 23 23 573 40.5 % 2920 34.6 %

You can see that 2 cpu are clearly better than 4 cpu for Fritz even after considering the statistical error.
