21st Amateur Series Division 7

[Graham Banks]

[D]8/3k1p2/3np2p/3p4/1p1b3p/p1p2R2/5PP1/1R3K2 w - -[D]

Plisks eval (who plays black is -12.30) and for some reason Chessmind's eval is 19.20 (which I think is totally wrong).

At this point it was adjudicated as a loss for black, but that is not the case.

Vlad.

Thanks for pointing this game out. I will check it when I get home and edit as necessary. Plisk's scoring will sometime causes problems as was discussed previously, whereas this version of ChessMind is a nightmare.
Any other issues, please let me know. This is one of the advantages of making the games available for download.

Cheers,
Graham.

I'll edit the result to a win for Plisk in this game. All other Plisk games look okay. I'll keep an eye on others played with this version.

Cheers,
Graham.

Hi Graham,

Here is a new and fixed version of Plisk. This plays slightly stronger than the last and has the corrected eval value from engine's point of view.

Thanks Vlad. Seeing as I'm down to the last three rounds of this particular tournament, I'll start using the new version after that.
Hope that is okay with you.

Cheers,
Graham.

Hi Graham,

That is perfectly fine. More so since it looks like Plisk is winning this tournament.

I am sorry for the confusion with the evaluation values for the last version of Plisk.

Regards,
Vlad.

21ST AMATEUR SERIES (Division 7)

Ponder off
HS-Large Remis book (limited to 12 moves)
40 moves in 32 minutes repeating (adapted for the CCRL)

Due to some engines being ineligible for the next series unless new versions come out, the top three engines will likely gain automatic promotion. The fourth top engine (perhaps others also) will likely secure a playoff match for promotion.

No need to apologise. You didn't actually do anything wrong. However, I'm grateful that you've reverted back to the previous format.

Cheers,
Graham.

Hi Graham,

Thanks for testing Redqueen. It always help having more people testing it, as I am short on time/resource to spend on it.

Soon I will release version 0.6, looking forward to see it playing in your nice Amateur tournaments again.

You're welcome.
Ideally I'd like to run gauntlets to get these engines over 250 games, but there's always too much to do.
I currently run a mix of 5 tournaments and 4 gauntlets, which is a good balance for me.

Cheers,
Graham.
