Snow, blizzard,super cold & Java tests in IASI

Hello:

Hello CCC folks !

Well, my JAVA SECOND LEAGUE 2014 is ready. Below you can see the hierarchy of the best 30 chess engines written in Java. All work perfectly, being able to support a tournament !
Pulse project participed with two versions : 1.2.0 and 1.3.0.





The above Java engines are only a part of the army ! They are also 21 other chess engines written in Java:

a.- 5 private:
-Timea
-Nimrod
-Grok
-FIBChess
-Chompster

b.-3 free Java chess engines being able to support a tournament, but being extremely weak:
-DeepDuke 1.1
-Pyotr 2.6 Novice
-POS 1.20

c.-13 free engines which are not able to support a tournament at the date ( because of various reasons: a bad time management, illegal moves, play only at one colour, crashes, incompletes & so on):
-CalculonX 0.1
-Chesster rev.5
-Luzhin 0.1
-DokChess 0.1 rev.50
-WSpeirs Chess 001
-ChessNovice R 0.03
-Cheoss 0.649
-AnimatsChess r.23
-Tursas 0.2
-GNUChess4j 5.07
-Black&Right
-KennyClassIQ 0.3.0.0
-Lrozenblyum

With a total of 51 chess engines (plus a lot of GUIs and applets) - Java becomes the second programming language in chess ( after the C family) at the date. Delphi-Pascal is now only the third !

Well, this is the absolutely unimportant contribution of Mr.Ruxy in testing my beloved Java chess engines !

Have - you all - a superb day & night !

I computed rating performances again. In a try to get some continuity with my first list, I established a mean of ratings in a way that (rating_Cupcake) + (rating_Frank-Walter) is more less the same in both lists. Here I go:

Code: Select all

Round Robin with 19 engines and    180 games per engine.
Total number of games:      1710 games.

 Engines:     Performance:     Score:

Engine 01:      1957.82       92.50 %
Engine 02:      1916.51       90.56 %
Engine 03:      1787.71       81.39 %
Engine 04:      1740.80       76.67 %
Engine 05:      1693.42       71.11 %
Engine 06:      1657.31       66.39 %
Engine 07:      1649.20       65.28 %
Engine 08:      1602.71       58.61 %
Engine 09:      1554.75       51.39 %

Engine 11:      1523.72       46.67 %
Engine 12:      1490.43       41.67 %
Engine 13:      1429.85       33.06 %

Engine 15:      1413.08       30.83 %
Engine 16:      1342.72       22.50 %
Engine 17:      1318.18       20.00 %
