Round 5

Critter 1.6a 64-bit 8CPU v Deep Junior 13.3 64-bit 8CPU (1-0)

After 4 consecutive draws, Critter finally won one. I hope the wins will keep coming for Critter and fight for the first places.

I know few games have been played but did not think Bright would be at the last place with only half a point out of 5.

Regards.

Houdini should have been paired with Rybka. Something is wrong with ChessGUI swiss pairings.
...

definitely a bug ! Should be easy to trace. Maybe hidden when Elo values are defined.

Yes, because I didn't enter Elo values for each engine. I just entered them in
order of strength from the top down when setting up the tourney.

After that, define Elo range and click on "Fake Elos of invited engines" under "Swiss" to use Elos !

Thanks for the hint Matthias.

You surely have ways to make sure that ChesGUI Elos don't enter CCRL databases, I hope.

CCRL ratings are based purely on engine performance, so no need to worry there.

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

It's nice that an author is ambitious (Marek in this case),
but the truth is that higher ratings are very expensive ....

e.g. electricity bill
Good luck for Bouquet!

The power company does well out of my household.
By turning the hot water off at night, plus switching off various appliances at the wall, we manage to keep the power bill down to about $350 NZ each month.
Still expensive, but at least my hobby keeps me at home!

My guess is that it will be much expensive out there especially during the night

We're in Spring and then into Summer, so the clothes dryer won't have to be used as much. It's a real drain on power.
The air conditioning will probably get more use for cooling purposes, but that's cheaper than the clothes dryer.

The air conditioning is cheaper than the clothes dryer !?

You are lucky people Graham

I hope so, otherwise it will just be open doors and windows.
