Grand Blitz Tournament - Predict the Top 6 Engines!

[beachknight]

Can you tell me step by step how to upload the files in host servers?

You are kidding, right?

My wife calls me. I'll be later back.

Best,

I ain't kidding, infact I have never tried uploading files into hosting servers. That's why I needed help. Ofcourse anytime, no hurry.

I've finally figured out how to upload the files to host servers! I was just reading Jim Ablett's webpage and looking for the kind of servers he had uploaded his files into. I noticed mediafire, when I got the account at the mediafire. It looks simple indeed

Anyway, here is the link to the games for those who are interested.

Let me know if the above link works. The actual size is 45 mb winrared to 15 mb.

Thanks! My difficult choice for the prediction was between King and Spike. I chose King. Had I chosen Spike, 10 people would all have scored 497 points.

Thx Swami for the games and ELO, mediafire is fine.

Maybe there are some engines were worse than expected, and is mainly due to lost in time.

DeepPatzer and Averno lost almost every game in time.
Yace lost many games.
Other engines as Ktulu and Pepito could have been also above, they lost a few games in time.

Hi Pedro,

Yes It's obvious that from edition 9 tournament, that Yace paderborn had some kind of bug in my tournaments. I told Tony to add it to his no play list, he said that he never had any problem, maybe he was using the 0.99.87 version which I don't have.

I don't know what's up with Averno, maybe it doesn't understand increment time controls. Patzer Deep version takes atleast 3 seconds when making a move, I noticed that but I couldn't add some other engine in the place of it.

Ktulu - never tested it on edition tournaments.

Why dont you have Yace 99.87? It's a free engine..I found this link from Vegan's page, I dont think the homepage works anymore. You could have asked me for the current version. I guess MP algorithm of Patzer is probably buggy, should've used the single core version.

Thanks Tony for the link, I couldn't find it anywhere else, the Yace forum that hosted the Yace beta once, is down. I should have asked Jim, or you before...

Strange.

Two searches, one yahoo another gooogle,

Did you try Leo's WBEC site?
