Czubatronic 2400 released: Thorsten Czub’s Capa plays at last

[mephisto]

Hi Franz
Nice to hear from you.
That's excellent news, thank you.
I'm presently away on a walking holiday but as soon as I return home I'll get the ROMS up and running.
Keep up the great work
Bryan

So far Capa 9.6 doesn't really have a chance against the Mephisto TM London 6840- emulation. An unnecessarily big tournament I did let run in Arena (being able to let settings run too, in Czubatronic you can edit the UCI- options of the loaded external engine also, but the changes aren't used in match then) with 10"/move (NORML 02):

Code: Select all

    Program                            Score     %    Av.Op.  Elo    +   -    Draws

  1 Mephisto TM London 68040(exp.) : 90.0/ 95  94.7   2249   2751   98 135    4.2 %
  2 CAPA9.6                        :  5.0/ 95   5.3   2751   2249  135  98    4.2 %

Then, to be sure, Capa wouldn't work much better in its own GUI maybe, I did let run 10 more games against same oppenent default (NORML 01, which is 5"/move) in Czubatronic, out of those Mephisto won 8 and drew 2, regards

Yes my engine is not that strong at the moment. I have a new version in testing but have to fix some things before it can be released.

Maybe you try testing against 8 bit or novag ruby or not stronger then 2200.

Nevermind, Thorsten, congrats to GUI and engine anyway!
Will test next version of your engine against a weaker opponent at first, would have stopped the match sooner anyhow, if that would be possible in Arena. If an emulation is started running a tournament there, it can't be stopped in other way but by letting it finish the games on its own or kill the processes in Task Manager (the one of Arena and the ones of Mephisto and its opponent as well)

With Pioneer Cpp against the same Mephisto- Emu it yet went just the other way round (again 10"/move):

Code: Select all

    Program                            Score     %    Av.Op.  Elo    +   -    Draws

  1 PioneerCpp                     :  56.0/ 60  93.3   2271   2729  142 133   10.0 %
  2 Mephisto TM London 68040(exp.) :   4.0/ 60   6.7   2729   2271  133 142   10.0 %

Code: Select all

    Program                            Score     %    Av.Op.  Elo    +   -    Draws
  1 CAPA 9.6                       :  29.5/ 50  59.0   1968   2032   86  85   26.0 %
  2 Mephisto MM V (set 2, v5.0)    :  20.5/ 50  41.0   2032   1968   85  86   26.0 %

Here the 50 games (10"/move again) were too few of course, but MM V approximately seems to be the momentary level, regards

But how fast is the pc ?

Each user has a different PC.
How much NPS is capa96 doing on your System ?

And did you switch on ponder or is this without ponder ?

Ok,

NOW czubatronic has support for dedicated chess computers. All you need to do is download franz hubers cb emu pro from jimdo and set the right directory path in czubatronic and you have dedicated chess computers.

It's a 4.3GHz CPU und Capa 9.6 shows about 740 kNPS in an early opening position (just out of book) like here:

Code: Select all

Ponder off to get more concurrencies with the 16 threads used for both opponents together and because Mephisto- Emu isn't able to ponder.

I know Czubatronic works with Franz' emus, Thorsten, I wrote about a result of 10 games of Capa against Mephisto TM London- Emu before too, I just don't want to start a new match after each one single game in Czubatronic and there's no possibility to make the Mephisto- Emu use a setting (e.g. of TC- level) in eng-eng-match, in Arena that does work, so I did let this one little match run in Arena again. Why do you think the comparison is less fair in Arena but in Czubatronic?
