Grand Blitz Tournament - Predict the Top 6 Engines!

[Vinvin]

4000 games ?
I looked at the list quickly and it seems correct (I made visually 20 packs of 100 games at the half of the page )

Look at number 33. Maybe someone from CEGT could verify this?

Only few testers got the 2 CPU version, the first person I believe was Per from CSS.

Run 1000 games... 4000 more to go.

Perhaps you could close the tourney so no more people can guess or change guesses but you present us current results?

Good idea!

Good idea, but I think few people are hoping they would make predictions in the last minute? I think that includes Zach, Evgenii and few others in my list of old EPC members.

I hope they will read this post, for that I will give them a chance by waiting in 1 more day...

What time interval do you propose? Shall I post results every 500 games(which btw is 2 days)? or Once a day?

Whatever you do,it's useless because I made my calculations and it looks like I am winning this one with big margin

A bold choice, picking Naum over Thinker. Atleast you are going for originality, which is something I used to crave for. At this time, I noticed that pretty much everyone picked the same 6 engines, so I basically just shuffled them around, I didnt spend much time factoring in the SMP. What's the point of spending a lot of time figuring out the exact order, when everyone else picked almost the same engines? It would be kind of like racing a hooked up honda civic on the streets (total cost = $ 40,000) against a Z06 corvette and losing big time. Even if I managed to win, I will still be a retard..

I don't think almost everyone picked same set of engines

The computer chess at higher level is extensively tested, so I think it is still interesting to see who guesses the exact or near-to-exact order. It's like how you place the bet in Fifa World Cup...
