Prodeo 2.2 SMP Krazy Klown

[BrendanJNorman]

Hey guys,

I've been experimenting a little with Ed's personality tuner for Prodeo (http://rebel13.nl/pers.html)and came up with the following personality which is great for a sparring partner.

Probably IM strength with a very realistic and attractive style.

Attractive chess!

But just like Robert Flescher's Zappa Mexico DA settings from years ago, these aren't designed for engine vs engine so much - but (ideally) for humans to play training games at long time controls without "feeling" like they're playing an engine.

This is the goal of ALL personalities I create.

Oh my god, Ed! That's super exciting.

Once Prodeo 2.4 is released, I'm going to start running Rodent vs Prodeo Personality Team Tournaments.

Really looking forward to it.

Any hints on a release date?

[Rebel]

Any hints on a release date?

No idea. I am currently wrestling with a bug. I have no clue, yet. Probably another blast from the previous Millennium like this one that stayed under the radar for decades but became visible and reproducible after version 1.86.

1. Rdd8 with the announcement of a mate in 8.

It's only a draw, fixed it.

[PK]

I think that in order to run this kind of match we should synchronize new Rodent and new ProDeo with more parameters exposed

haha, decades!

Just don't take decades to get this new release out, I can't wait to test those new parameters!

BTW: Is there any way you can make the WB2UCI file use the correct mate-score? If that's the problem, that is.

Even in new Prodeo sometimes if he is getting mated, he shows a weird matescore and the GUI adjudicates FOR him.

I'm not very sophisticated about this type of thing, maybe there's an easy fix, but I'm using Fritz GUI if that helps.

Completely agree!

I can see your personality tuner has really inspired Ed haha.

I've been testing a Kramnik personality of Rodent III with interesting results also.

Rodent Kramnik is designed to play as Kramnik did in the mid to late nineties (including opening repertoire), so in the following game, he sacrifices a pawn for the bishop pair and then goes on to dominate Gandalf 7!

Guys like this are sure to give Prodeo a good challenge.

But please do give us even more parameters to access in Rodent!

I think that in order to run this kind of match we should synchronize new Rodent and new ProDeo with more parameters exposed

Adam, didn't you create Rebel Century personalities about 15 years ago?

[Adam Hair]

Yes! But Ed took the credit for all my hard work

Seriously, I became interested in computer chess about 9 years ago. So I missed out on the heyday of Rebel, ChessGenius, Chess System Tal, and other classic engines. I am probably too weak of a chess player to properly appreciate them anyway.

There is an undocumented feature to Gaviota that lets a user change evaluation parameter values. So it is possible to create various personalities for Gaviota. There isn't a personality tuner for Gaviota, but perhaps I could modify Rodent's tuner to work for Gaviota. I will ask Miguel if he has a problem with me divulging the feature.
