You shouldn't feel embarrassed about sharing results if you haven't got state of the art hardware.playwaycool wrote:I will test it myself but I was waiting to get new cpu and hard drive for TBs. i was hoping anyone with good cpu able to share results.
I have also heard the opposite cry:playwaycool wrote:Thank you for the replies Dann! I was hoping for more folks to share their opinions as well.
I think the point being here is I was hoping to see folks share results on CCC forum with different results instead the ordinary one generic opening book is used for all the program in one engine tournament!
You might be right. Fritz 11 did strikingly well in this single CPU filtered tournament:
This is a hobby for most people here with exception of some that takes it to a serious level. To share a little fact, if we take Fritz for instance, Fritz does perform better when it plays it's Own book. If you put Fritz 11 in a tournament among others and used general book it will not perform that much. So I think that is saying something.
There are definitely contests that use 'own books' such as SSDF.
Bottom line, If anyone able to take requests and able to make such testing and share it with us will be nice to see!
Testers are pretty much all volunteers and so they test what they want to in the way that they want to test it. Here are some links to chess contests:
I am not speaking for authors or programmers here, I am speaking terms of testing and finding a useful improvement with what we have right now for hobby/fun. Programmers does have their own hardware that they use for top of the line and use tournament book for international events.
