TCEC Season 1 - Stage 2a lineup and start date!

[ernest]

* on the left part of the screen, just the current board and the current game (the upper left part, with the name of the playing engines, is missing!)
* on the right part of the screen, under the words "Engine Output - Swap - Show", just a black space

Actually, on the left part of the screen, and on the right part,
the bug is that the Show button has no action.

The TCEC website has now been updated, there is also a forum now.

I have XP Home with IE8.
10 days ago, on http://www.tcec-chess.net/live.php everything was fine

Since a few days (I think, maybe even before that update), I only get:
* on the left part of the screen, just the current board and the current game (the upper left part, with the name of the playing engines, is missing!)
* on the right part of the screen, under the words "Engine Output - Swap - Show", just a black space

A friend with XP Home and an older IE, has the same bug

On Firefox 19, no problem

Hi Ernest,

I am looking into it. Thanks for letting me know.

Ernest,

I've tried to find and solve the problem. Can you please take a look now, with IE7 / IE8 ?

Hi Martin,

Thanks for trying!

One hour ago, there was some display on the right side of the screen (histograms...) and at the bottom, the results table was there. But the Current Selected Game - Show button on the right side was still inactive... and the whole screen was quite unstable, ...and crashed!
Just now, I see that you must have reverted to the previous situation: the right part of the screen, under the Engine Output - Swap - Show button, is black and empty.

Seems to be a problem with these javascript buttons...

Ernest,

I have no problems viewing the page in IE7 / IE8 in F12 debug mode using IE9.

Can you please take a screenshot and send me to webmaster@tcec-chess.net ?

Best,

Critter is the clear loser of this stage; OTOH I like SF score... no loses! Here is the rating performance list of Stage 2a using my own Fortran programme that does not need PGN files (it only needs the won points by each engine):

Code: Select all

Rating_performances_for_Round_Robin_tournaments, ® 2012-2013.

Write down the full name of the Notepad (including .txt), up to 64 characters:

Stage_2a.txt

Write down the number of engines of the Round Robin tournament (up to 64):

8

Write down your desired mean of ratings between -5000 and 5000:

3000

Write down the clock rate of the CPU (in GHz), only for timing the elapsed time of the calculations:

3

Rating performances have been saved into List_of_rating_performances.txt file.

Approximated elapsed time:   23 ms.

Thanks for using Rating_performances_for_Round_Robin_tournaments. Press Enter to exit.

These rating performances should be very similar to EloSTAT ratings although my model is very simple.

Thank you very much for your effort. Please keep up your good work! I stay tuned.
