Tournaments from the starting position

[ThatsIt]

Hi to all !

Currently i've running some test tournaments from the starting position using different time controls.
The first tournament is completed, the second is in process.

Conditions:
Startingposition with color change = 2 games per match
Books = off
Ponder = on
Core(s) = one for each engine
Intel i5-2400 @ 3.1GHz
OS = Windows 7 Professional
GUI = Shredder Classic 3
Bases = four man

Currently i've running some test tournaments from the starting position using different time controls.

A wonderful idea. All the other tests like IPON or others are wrong.

For what reason ?

IMO only these conditions are full honest for rating lists:
- without books, tablebases
- startposition (from zero)
- time per move, changed after each pair of games
- 1CPU

But the main problem will be, that you only get 2 games per match !
Far too little for a rating list.

I mean each pair of games for the same opponents. Time is changed (to avoid same games) after cycle. It is rather a technical problem.

The books are also a part of Chess.
I'm not sure.

Then we should schedule the engines with that feature.
As experiment is good, but it's unnatural.

We have Tournaments with Kns limitation, PLY limitation, Weather nonexistent.
You can only take as experimenters boring, in my opinion.

Greetings.

e.g. Some of engines can have troubles with the opening. The first moves are very important and why don't test it?

Oh, yes, taste is perfect.

But many people since time immemorial has been devoted to opening theory, also deserve their piece of cake.

You run the risk of never having a "Sicilian", or "Pirc", or "Bird",
or a "King's Gambit", ect.
Openings flat.

Yet this very well, perfect.
At least not cut plys or kns limited, or placed second "zero".
