Grand Blitz Tournament - Predict the Top 6 Engines!

[Zach Wegner]

Hey Swami,

I'm not sure if the tournament's started yet, but would you mind replacing ZCT 0.3.2451 with 0.3.2447? .2451 actually does have a bug (in the stuff_pv() function to be precise), it seems to lose about 50 elo. I'm working on some new versions, and I'm starting to rigorously test everything, so I don't think there will be any problems like that in the future. It looks like I have some stuff stronger than .2447, but you know statistics...

Hi Zach,

Ok, I will use the ZCT 0.3.2447, to replace 0.2451.

Good luck!

So far, Members who have joined in: (keep 'em coming!)

CCC:

Jim, Edsel, Harun, Ulysses, Pavel, Maria Clare, Dann Corbitt and Uri Blass(via pm)

Rybka Forum:

Turbojuice, Pia, Teemu Pudas, Permanent Brain, and one more member I forgot.


It's going to be Rybka forum vs CCC all over again!

Ulysses, Do you want yourself to be categorised as someone belonging to the Rybka side?! (even though you had unknowingly posted your predictions here)

I wonder if Tony will also join in? I'm kind of sad that Tony had taken a break from this.He told me at ICC that he might participate in this fun betting contest sometimes later...so there's still hope. So who's gonna give him choclates, cheer him up and get him back?!

I'm on the CCC side! I'm just a moderator on Rybka's but that doesn't change my loyalty

Last Replacements just before the tournament progressed. EveAnn and Dirty in place of Djnnn and Der Bringer. Guess it is better to make way for reserves under author's request, than include non-updated old engines.

Thanks for the compliment, Sergio. You are welcome. I enjoy the tournament much I think everyone should try running 101 engines single round robin - It's just great fun!

Particular higher rated engine should not lose/draw *that much* against the middle or lower rated ones else it would make way for other tough engines to top the list.

That's what I call "stiff competition" - the survival of the fittest!
