Not looking good for Romi

Post by Tony Thomas »

It seems to me that Romi has lost her drive after the release of some new critters. She seems to be performing sub-par at this stage of testing. Test results wont be as fast due to cpu problem. I include the rating of current version followed by the best version. At this stage the only positive results are against Arasan and Zappa and a similar result against Danasah. However, these two versions are somewhat close in strength and the new changes might be slightly counter-productive at very fast time controls.

Thanks Tony, for running the test! Romi at bullet speeds seems to have weakened somewhat. At slower time controls Romi is playing quite well, however, it is too early to tell for sure. For NG9 I am trying to get Romi back her blitz. It seems as though progress is being made.

I will make daily updates on the progress of the match. We have 7 more matches remaining, I hope to finish them all in another 4 days or so before moving on to the next beta. If it is any relief to you, Romi gained another 2 points after 10 more matches.

Another one for the home team

Match against Phalanx is finished. Romi gained 6 points from this match. It might not be a bad one after all.

Okay, that does make me feel a little better! :)

Also, this is the first version tested with out any learning and we never established how much learning is worth on average in a 30 game match.

May be the learning is worth only nine points. Romi was able to gain another 1 point against Delphil. So far its four positives, four negetives and a draw.

On the verge of a comeback

Post by Tony Thomas »

Only three more matches left to go and Romi only needs 3 points to catch up with the previous best version that used learning.

Especially the one against Nano. Others, Romi can at least get a close score.
