[Not serious] Fun facts about people on Stockfish and Komodo

Post by Isaac »

For fun, I've analyzed all the comments posted on abrok since it exists (more than 640 web pages), that is, sine 2013. I think it was trolled from time to time by spammers so I wouldn't have expected the word "the" to be the most popular, as it usually is in English books and other places like IRC chats, etc. I was expecting to see "bad" words between the most popular ones. To my surprise this was not the case.
Here they are: [('the', 26729), ('is', 17396), ('to', 16818), ('a', 12308), ('I', 12159), ('and', 12060), ('of', 10745), ('that', 10188), ('it', 9023), ('you', 8889), ('in', 8271), ('for', 7056), ('not', 5490), ('be', 5421), ('are', 5027), ('with', 4998), ('this', 4406), ('on', 4312), ('have', 4132), ('can', 3543), ('will', 3443), ('as', 3404), ('if', 3310), ('but', 3184), ('at', 3091), ('SF', 3015), ('or', 2976), ('than', 2682), ('time', 2522), ('stockfish', 2491), ('think', 2478), ('Stockfish', 2382), ('was', 2374), ('Komodo', 2356), ('more', 2320), ('would', 2308), ('your', 2301), ('don't', 2274), ('my', 2203), ('they', 2188), ('engine', 2183), ('what', 2181), ('like', 2180), ('from', 2153), ('all', 2106), ('we', 2054)]

So here are my conclusions about people on Stockfish and Komodo:
People prefer to use "SF" over "stockfish" and Stockfish".
People prefer not to employ a capital letter when dealing with Stockfish (because "stockfish" is more popular than "Stockfish"), but they prefer to employ a capital letter when dealing with Komodo.
I found that quite funny, hence me sharing this information. :D

It'd be interesting to take a long talkchess thread and then analyse the results for that. The Rybka controversy, perhaps?

Ok, let me share the part of my Python code that does the analysis:

Code: Select all

import re        
wordlist = re.split('\s', open("/home/isaac/Python-Stuff/text_analyzer/inputtt.txt", "r").read())
from collections import Counter
z = Counter(wordlist)
top_words_list = z.most_common(20)
print(top_words_list)
Where the file "inputtt.txt" must be the parsed (or non parsed) web pages. You can use bash with curl to get the info of talkchess for instance. Also, modify the "20" to any number you want.
Hope this works for you.
