Cutting Edge - Tournament started! (Long TC)

[Martin Thoresen]

Cutting Edge
Intel i920 Quad Core
Arena 2.0.1
1024mb hash each
3-4-5 piece nalimov tablebases
3-4-5 piece scorpio bitbases
3-4-5 piece shredderbases
Ponder off
HS-Book.abk (limited to 8 moves)
40 moves in 120 minutes, the next 20 moves in 60 minutes then 30 minutes for the rest of the game
Double round-robin (182 games)

The only single-core engine is Komodo, basically only because I want to see what it can do vs. the very best even with a disadvantage. The rest of the engines are running on the full power of the quad-core.

Personally I am rooting for Stockfish, Komodo and Junior!

As soon as a game finish, I will post the pgn with the result and do a summary at the end of each round.

Rybka 3 will win, with Naum 4.1 second. I guess that Stockfish will be 3rd.

[Dann Corbit]

I would be keenly interested to get the games when your tournament is finished.

[Carlos777]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the tournament. I would have liked to see at least one of the Ippolit family against this strong competition.

My pronostic is:

1. Rybka
2. Stockfish
3. Naum

Best regards,
Carlos.

[Martin Thoresen]

Scorpio 2.4 has been replaced by the newly released 2.5.
As Scorpio hasn't played any games yet it won't change anything.

Future engine updates won't be allowed after Round 2.

[Martin Thoresen]

After careful consideration I have decided to remove Toga II and Loop. I had originally intended to play without them, but included them after all. The reason I am removing them again is that the game count will be so high if they are included. I'd rather start a new tournament with them included later on.
