FREEWARE FINAL: Group 2 Concludes- Last 4 Rounds!

[geots]

What can I say- some mighty tough engines playing some astounding chess. In the end, Hannibal and Quazar had just built up a lead after 26 rounds that no engine could hardly cut into much- it relied too much on what they did as well as what Doch and Protector did.

So they move on to the finals of Group 2:

1.Hannibal 1.2 x64
2.Quazar 0.4 x64

Special congratulations to Sam and Edsel, along with Dmitry. Fine work they have done. In fact- congrats to Doch, Protector and all the other engines in this free-for-all. None have anything to be ashamed of.

I am offering here the final standings in a different view. Just call it a different perspective. But on to the games:

I stay tuned for Group 1. Thanks for this Mega-freeware tournament!

You usually upload the PGN file of each group... as I do not see the PGN file of Group 2, I calculate rating performances of this group with an own algorithm without iterations, that give very similar result to EloSTAT output:

Code: Select all

Round Robin with 16 engines and     30 games per engine.
Total number of games:       240 games.
 
 2850.00 (engine 01).
 2824.24 (engine 02).
 2788.15 (engine 03).
 2788.15 (engine 04).
 2765.28 (engine 05).
 2743.03 (engine 06).
 2721.19 (engine 07).
 2677.89 (engine 08).
 2667.00 (engine 09).
 2656.04 (engine 10).
 2656.04 (engine 11).
 2644.98 (engine 12).
 2622.45 (engine 13).
 2622.45 (engine 14).
 2610.92 (engine 15).
 2562.16 (engine 16).
 
Mean of ratings:  2700.00 Elo.

Randomly, I decided to set the average of all ratings to 2700. The more important thing for me is the difference between the first engine and the last one: 2850 - 2562.16 = 287.84 Elo; I guess that EloSTAT will have a wideness of circa 290 Elo for this tournament.

Just for the record, the time of calculation of the ratings and print the results was 25 ms more less.

Regards from Spain.

The rating wideness is 2851 - 2562 = 289 Elo (I predicted 290). Well, EloSTAT rounds up to 1 Elo, but at least I obtained almost the same ratings than EloSTAT without PGN files! My wideness is always a bit bigger (less than 1%) than EloSTAT.

I stay tuned for Group 1.

The rating wideness is 2851 - 2562 = 289 Elo (I predicted 290). Well, EloSTAT rounds up to 1 Elo, but at least I obtained almost the same ratings than EloSTAT without PGN files! My wideness is always a bit bigger (less than 1%) than EloSTAT.

I stay tuned for Group 1.

Ajedrecista.

It might be of interest that CCRL had Hannibal rated at the top with 2948 and Texel last with 2799. Being that CCRL's list of these 16 is probably very accurate- of the top 8 engines in their list- 7 of them actually finished in the top 8- could it be that possibly assigning an elo rating to engines in a 2 cycle RR could cause a lot of inflated as well as deflated ratings more often than not? I would have no idea, but the case could be made that they basically finished close to where expected. The biggest inaccuracies being Texel higher than expected, and Thinker lower than expected. Tho I have never been one to go about trumpeting Thinker's strength- it is strong but always seems to me to be overrated- whichever list I look at.

And thank you very much again for your interesting analysis.



Best,
