Congratulations to Jamie (Monty author) for winning this division.

However, under my one engine per author rule, I'll be leaving Monty out of the next series in favour of Akimbo.

Thanks to all who took an interest in this tournament.

8.0 - STRO4K 4.0 64-bit
7.5 - Dumb 2.3 64-bit
7.5 - OliThink 5.11.0 64-bit
7.5 - JackyChess 24.06 64-bit

Now, this is hard. OliThink is worse than Dumb?

But fear not: OliThink 5.11.2 has been released. It's avaible on my homepage und on github (now again with executables).
At least in internal competion, it beats former versions:

Code: Select all

   # PLAYER             :  RATING  ERROR  POINTS  PLAYED   (%)     W     D     L  D(%)  CFS(%)
   1 OliThink 5.11.2    :      50      9  3253.5    5856  55.6  2376  1755  1725  30.0     100

White advantage = -3.18 +/- 3.19
Draw rate (equal opponents) = 30.42 % +/- 0.49

And OliThink 5.11.4 now

Yes and it's 5.11.5 now. Anyway I would suggest to let the 5.11.4 play the next Div 11 tournament. It is supposed to promote easily. If 5.11.5 is better depends on the hardware (Level 1 CPU Cache to be precise)
