Testing LazySMP

No, This never happens. And if CCRL people want to test my engine, others won't let them test it.

This will indeed never happen, and that has absolutely nothing to do with "others don't letting them". It is 100% your own doing. By battering CCRL testers with unreasonable requests to test your engine before this long list of much stronger engines that are already waiting to be tested, rather than waiting your turn and treating them with respect, you have succeeded in making them dislike you so much that they will never test your engine.

2. If I want to increase the power of my engine, others won't let me.

How did you manage to gain 400 points in just 4 hours after saying you couldn’t do it?

According to Einstein's Special theory of relativity, time is relative. Time depends on the reference frame of the observer. If one observer moves with a speed of light then the time will slower down for him. On the other hand if the other observer moves slower than the speed of light then the time will pass faster.

Perhaps they have not as many games yet as they should?

So you call Graham a liar, and think this will make him more willing to test your engine?

As to point 2: what I see is you chasing away a person that asked a serious question, and has shown willingness to test your engine, by a rude non-sensical answer. It escapes me how what anyone would post here would have an effect on the strength of your engine.

Hello Daniel,
I read you keep on focusing on the rating lists selectivity topic; whilst you didn't bother answering the couple of messages I posted, pointing out a bug that almost certainly lies in the pondering management. I took care providing relevant logs, did you see these? Do you plan having this issue fixed?
Please help yourself, fix the basics...
Regards,
Tibono

This thread should be locked. I am embarrassed to call myself a member of this forum when threads like this are allowed to persist.

[hgm]

It is only a single thread, and it is easy enough to just not read it. Much better than locking it so that the discussion will continue in a new thread...

Good point

Here is the current waiting list of engines waiting for 1CPU gauntlets for the 40/15 list:

Dear Gabor, Dear Graham, Dear Basti,

As I’m sure you know, you will find testing in CCRL very different from testing in private GUI. For example, you cannot begin testing engines on day one as you did at PC. Engines that do not use a Transposition Table tend to be very fast and this is not a good reason not to test it.

In any event, TT is not necessarily an engine to greater efficiency. I humbly request you to tell me your reasons for not testing my engine. It is a widely believed myth that you accepted the words of the Stockfish community and that's why you don't want to test my engine.

In an age of artificial intelligence, weaker engines are desperately needed to fill the ranks. Complying with complex testing rules makes it slow and difficult to test an engine, and there is little social prestige to saying you work for the chess community.

Under these conditions, you cannot find your way to excellence. I hope you will realize soon, then you find why some people get frustrated.

Yours Sincerely,

Daniel Pierce

I only test FRC and Chess324 as of the moment. I hope you implement FRC so I can test it

I see it has been tested for CCRL Blitz - 2075 Elo
