3000 ELO Engine with Minimal Code?

[Steve Maughan]

What's the name of the engine that made it to 3000 ELO with minimal code — maybe 2,500 lines of code? It was probably released in the last four years. I can't remember the name — any pointer appreciated.

Akimbo meets this requirement, and it's quite a bit above 3k elo now - but you are perhaps thinking of OliThink.

Akimbo wasn't what I was thinking of but does look interesting. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in the Shredder GUI for Windows

Minic?

Can you send any details about the issue? akimbo has never had issues with any other GUIs, and I don’t have a copy of Shredder.

EDIT: If you’re using a release version of akimbo, i didnt add stop support until after the latest release (for the purposes of staying <1000 lines of code), compiling the current master is simple enough though.

Hi — happy to help. I’ll send over a debug file. If I had to guess the problem is most likely assuming the FEN has a fixed number of fields. I’ll send the debug once I’m back at the computer

Hi,

Here's the debug output from the Shredder GUI. The engine didn't produce any analysis at all:

Hello Steve:

Minic and OliThink seem good candidates regarding the Elo condition if we look at CCRL 40/4 rating list, as well as the date release condition. They were suggested before in this thread.

4ku is a bit below in Elo (v3.0 at 2920 Elo right now), but fits more than enough in the lines of code condition.

ice4 won TCEC 4k event 1, including 10-2 (+8 =4 -0) over 4ku v1.0. It is probably a different engine that iCE 4.0. Anyway, winning 10-2 against an engine that was around 2600 Elo at that time is quite an indicator and probably on par with current 4ku v3.1, though only 12 games were played between them; ice4 also fits the lines of code condition, of course.

I have been searching other candidates without success or a clear veredict, mostly due to more lines of code than 2,500. Any help is welcome. Good luck with your request!

I was wondering if Minic and OliThink can last at least 45 moves against the latest stockfish ?CCRL 40/4 rating list,

Which binary did you download? And what cpu do you have?

It looks like you downloaded a binary not compatible with your cpu, and so it encounters an illegal instruction (most likely SIMD related) when you start search.
