18th Amateur Series Division 8

Post by Graham Banks »

18TH AMATEUR SERIES (Division 8 )

AMD64x2 Dual Core
ChessGUI
128mb hash each
3-4-5 piece tablebases
Ponder off
HS-Large Remis.bk3 book
40 moves in 38 minutes repeating (adapted for the CCRL)
All engines 32-bit 1CPU
4 cycles 44 rounds
Due to some engines being ineligible for the next series unless new versions come out, the top four engines will likely gain automatic promotion and there will likely be no automatic relegation. The fate of the fifth top engine is likely to be determined by grading matches before the next series.

Hi Graham,
I kind of missed this postings before. Thanks for including Roce in your tournament.
I'm working on a stronger version right now (it is already a good deal stronger as I write this words) but I don't know yet when I'm going to release it as there are quite a few things I would like to try and test first.

best regards
Roman

Hi Roman,

Roce seems to have reached around the level that I currently use as the minimum for my amateur testing, plus it works!
There are other engines that I would also use if they worked properly under the conditions I use.

No hurry with your next release. Best not to let anybody pressure you. :)

Regards,
Graham.
