YLCET Super X3 (Yorkman's Live Chess Engine Tournament)

[lkaufman]

I think that it's the only tournament that features komodo 2023

Komodo 11.3, just released, is same as dev. version 2024, so only a tiny bit different from the 2023 version playing here.

I LOVE the layout...but when I download the GUI, I can't seem to do anything with it...don't see any instructions. If I can add engines and set it running...will I see essentially what you have? Love the graph for instance.

I would love to use something similar for my tournament, but I don't think it's available for anyone.

Yes, thats the plan, york wants to keep running with the top few engines, as of now its 3, not sure if it may be extended to 4

Thanks for the update Larry. K's doing quite well with 2023.00 so I'm sure 11.3 will be a very good public update. And likely just in time for the Super Final too..it's going to start pretty soon so stay tuned everyone!

I have to admit that the likely qualification for the final was a factor in our decision to release today. It convinced me that our revised time management was indeed helpful, at least on many threads.

Looking at the current standings, K stands a good chance to qualify. I hope we will be seeing 11.3 or a later version in the finals

[Vizvezdenec]

from observing I can say that at least komodo now tries to use it time before it starts to losing. Before this version it often had deadly lost position and a lot of time on the clock in it...

[lkaufman]

Yes, we have finally fixed that problem. The time management code had some very clever stuff in it that worked well on one thread but was increasingly bad with many threads. We removed it and went with a more conventional approach.
