SCCT Engine Test – Without Books

[Sedat Canbaz]

Hello Dear Friends,

I have run a new testing-played by Fruit 2.0 vs Engines (released around 2004 year)

Some Notes (if we test the engines without books):

1)Fruit 2.0 test (no books):
•Fruit 2.0 and Zappa 1.0 (when Zappa is with Black pieces) have similarities in openings
•Fruit 2.0 vs Fruit 2.0, both same versions have identical opening playing style
•The rest engine openings are almost different than Fruit 2.0 opening playing style

2)SCCT SSE/Non-SSE test (no books):
•There are some similarities in openings, played by the Top chess engines:
- Houdini / Strelka / Komodo / Rybka / Ivanhoe / Critter / Stockfish

3)SCCT 3 Type Tournament (no books):
•Some engines (Rybka;Glaurung;Thinker;Bright;Toga;Loop…) have similarities in openings too

More Details:
•It seems many of the above engines are based on similar opening-related code
•These testings are done mainly for different purposes (not for proving which engine is a clone)
•Once more we noticed that many chess engines are each other relative
•Mostly of the played openings are far away from the current strong opening theory



Best Wishes,
