Grand Blitz Tournament - Predict the Top 6 Engines!

[swami]

Cyrano latest version is much improved it seems, I'd guess the author managed to improve the engine 200 elo more...

[GenoM]

Yes, Cyrano 0.5 is very strong now, may be +100 ELO better than its predecessor 0.4.

Yes, Cyrano 0.5 is very strong now, may be +100 ELO better than its predecessor 0.4.

Well, I'd think that it is more than just +100 elo. Probably anywhere around +150-200 in blitz.

Not sure if this counts as a severe bug or not ...

Found a bug in xpdnt where it awards rooks-on-7th to wrong player.

Anyway, there is an update.

Thanks, David, I will the replace the Exe file, the version number may display older one, but the exe is the updated one.

Need to wait for Jim's compile.

Just wondering how strong Cyrano is.

Cyclone 1.0 beta (21-1-5 ) - ( 23.5/27)

Cyrano 0.5 (1-21-5 ) - (3.5/27)

Best to you,

Gerold.

I'm happy that Cyrano can still progress a bit, but there is no 200 elo jump.

- Results from 2613 Games.

EDIT: I'm stupid... I read that as "results after round 52 of 53", and then I started wondering why a RR with 100 engines had only 53 rounds...

So dismiss my premature prediction!

[swami]

I haven't read it, so chill, Zach

Actually it is 101 engines tourney, Deep Patzer will be added once this whole tourney with 100 engines is finished. Arena does pairings weirder with odd number of engines that's why I put Deep Patzer in waiting list.
