24th Amateur Series Division 2

Post by Graham Banks »

24TH AMATEUR SERIES (Division 2)

AMD64x2 Dual Core

3-4-5 piece tablebases
Ponder off
HarrySchnapp.cgb book
40 moves in 38 minutes repeating (adapted for the CCRL)
All engines 32-bit 1CPU

Unless a new version is released, this will be the final series for Hamsters. The top engine will gain automatic promotion, but there will be no automatic relegation. The second top engine and the bottom engine (perhaps others also) will play grading matches to determine which division they will play in for the next series.

yes, its make here more sense to replace it, if you dont played much games so far with the older version.

on my test games here on my pc i get increased of +72 elo again between 4.25 and 4.3 :=)

but they are short TC 3+2 games, standings now 21,5 : 13,5 on the Shredder Classic 4 GUI

Well it's best to make the decision to switch to the new version. I don't think it would be right to consider 4.3 the same as 4.25, so the idea of combining the results just wouldn't sit right.
Good luck in the tournament. 8-)

Cheers,
Graham.

To be honest, when you release new versions is completely up to you and others just have to accept that. It is none of their business and it would be bad to stifle creativity and enthusiasm. :)
Don't let others worry you.

right, i should not let me be worry from others, this do only stopped me, if i want to work intensively on Tornado then i will do it, if others makes me of bad feeling or say to me i should wait a couple of time before releasing between the version then i cant go forward so quickly this way, and i am boring from computerchess, on the other hand i need from time to time a little break to become new forces.

ok..wish you a good evening now
