Interesting engine tournament. - 2009/01/11 00:27 Default Computer Tournament Info.
Hi All.


I have just finished a 3 min Blitz R/robin tournament 2 rounds. using Fritz 11 and fritz opening book for all engines my pc is Athlon x64x2 5200+ 32vista, 3.2gb ram.

Apart from fritz 11 (not deepfritz) all other engines are earlier free versions.

I cant understand why Fritz 11 has come 3rd by 1/2 point to inferior engines is it because of the 3mins limit (playing it longer will release its strength).
(just found out Rybka 2.2 is a bit stronger than Fritz 11)

Toga II 1.4 7.5

Rybka 2.2n2 32bit 7.5

Fritz 11 7.0

Fruit 2.2 5.5

Glaurung2.2 ja 5.0

Twisted logic 2.5

Zappa 1.1 2.0

Arasan 9.5 1.5

Homer 2.01 0.5

Must point out that Fritz was only engine not to lose a game.

Also would fritz 11 playing at 6 sec per move be very understrength to a human opponent? At shortish time levels players 2100 elo are beating it. would it be much more difficult playing at tournament levels?
