Hi all !

Below is a capture with the cross-table of my WB JAVA TOURNAMENT 2012.
The first five engines are qualfied in SUPREME JAVA TOURNAMENT 2012 (10 participants , 5 will be selected in my JAVA UCI TOURNAMENT 2012).
Well, I used in this tournament four Java original executables (.jar) and two (Frank-Walter and BremboCE were Windows executables compiled by Mr. Jim Ablett/London/England. Thank you Maestro Jim ! ).
In total , they are on our Earth -at this date - 17 WB Java chess engines I know. I use in my tournament only the elite. Take a look to the rest of the team:

BremboCE 0.6.2-the last in my tournament (uncalified) - 1604 ELO on ChessWar
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.JChess 1.0- 1513 ELO ChessWar
2.Frittle 1.0-1417 ELO ChessWar
3.jChecs 1.0.1 1362 ELO ChessWar
4.Tiffany's 0.5 1350 ELO ChessWar
5.Luzhin 0.1 1299 ELO ChessWar
6.Talvmenni 0.1 1291 ELO ChessWar
7.Cheoss 0.649 1249 ELO ChessWar
8.Animats Chess rev23 1200 ELO ChessWar
9.Pyotr 0.6 Amateur 1138 ELO ChessWar ( another Pyotr is weakest)
10.Deep Duke 1.0.0 1105 ELO ChessWar
11.GNU CHESS 5.07 4j ........untested

All the above 11 WB Java chess engines are weak and with a lot of bugs ( Luzhin - a bad time management [if one], Cheoss - even on WinBoard plays in tournaments only with withes , a lot of don't even work on Fritzy GUI via Wb2Uci).
The five WB Java chess engines qualfied work very well on Fritzy GUI and are -any doubt- the strongest.
TC was 4'+2".
Well, JAVA UCI TOURNAMENT is on way with all the eight engines (7 pure UCI + 1 WB/UCI-Eden).

Have - you all - a nice weekend !

Hi all !

JAVA UCI TOURNAMENT 2012 is ready !

Well , I know nine Java UCI chess engines : seven pure UCI (CuckooChess , Flux , Magnum , Mediocre , Bagatur ,Rival , Carballo) and two Wb/UCI (Eden and Pos).
The single excluded engine from this tournament was Pos-1.20 of Mr.Folkert van Heusden because of this engine is simply just a moves generator ( under 900 ELO on ChessWar of Mr. Olivier Deville). It doesn't know even what/how to mate.

Conditions of my tournament:
TC=4'+2"
Hash=64 MB
Book=Shredder12.ctg
GUI=Fritz11(coming with Deep Rybka 3)
CPU=Athlon 64 3800+
OS=Windows XP SP3 32 bit

I used two author's Java compilations for Windows ( Flux and Bagatur) from three existing (Rival.exe doesn't work on my system). The six other compilations for Windows are Mr. Jim Ablett/London/England compilations. A big THANK YOU MAESTRO JIM !
For Bagatur I used the version 1.2c (it's over 1.2d version like strenght).
Well , the five first engines in this tournament and the first five WB Java engines (see my above post , please) will participate in SUPREME JAVA TOURNAMENT 2012. Magnum 3.00 will be replaced by Magnum 3.00 r20 JA - a much stronger engine .
Very impressive were: CucKooChess 1.12 ( a complete Java chess engine having integrated in .exe : a strong small engine book and endgame bitbases - rara avis for a Java engine) and Flux 2.2 - an engine with a superb evaluation !
