On-line engine blitz tourney October

[amanjpro]

Belfish won the tournament with 7 points out of 9, Nightmare shared the first place.
WaspX and Marvin ended both with 6 points and shared the second place.
There were five programs ending third by scoring 5.5 points, LczTinker, Goldbar, Schooner, TheBaron and Zahak.
It's amazing to see that Zahak managed to increase his performance by several hundred Elo in just one month!
This time Skipper won a game by checkmating Sargon1.
See you all next time!

Oh, I thought this counts as the ninth place

I am very happy with the result, and hope one day I can make it to the top

The server uses the players Elo as tiebreak, which is a bit stupid, better would be the use the performance rating. I could modify it but it is not worth the effort for just one tournament a month.

The Lasker Chess Server is very badly written, it's a mess, the only remedy would be to write something completely new but that would take several months of time.

Naaah, it is better that way for the future Zahak

Belfish won the tournament with 7 points out of 9, Nightmare shared the first place.
WaspX and Marvin ended both with 6 points and shared the second place.
There were five programs ending third by scoring 5.5 points, LczTinker, Goldbar, Schooner, TheBaron and Zahak.
It's amazing to see that Zahak managed to increase his performance by several hundred Elo in just one month!

See you all next time!

You're welcome! The more players the better.

In the past this event was hosted by HGM, at a certain point his server got hardware/software? problems so we temporary took over. Temporary is already 2 years now. I don't mind to spend some money and time on keeping the server running, but I feel very reluctant to spend time on improving the software side of it.
