Naum 2.2 got 50% against DS 11.

This match will be finished on Sunday morning with rating list update. After 132 games we have the ELO improvement Alex initially estimated....and of course huge error bars.

Anyway a fine start in all matches. Next oppoents will be Hiarcs 11.2, Deep Fritz 10.1 and Loop M1-P.

Hello Heinz!

Indeed a strong start for Naum 3 in your tests. I think that the new version of Naum will conquer the 2nd rank in your great Ratinglist. I'm looking forward to your next results. By the way, now that Toga has appeared in MP-versions will you then include this fine engine in your tests?

Best regards
Per

Hi Per ,

thanks, looks really that we will have a new second best engine and I doubt that Zappa Mexico II will be better than Naum 3.

Toga is on top of the waitung list and we also wait for Fruit mp, not announced so far as far as I know.

Naum 3 will be finished in two weeks and Toga could start then, if no new Rybka or Deep Fritz will be released before, what I do not expect. If it happens two engines can be also tested at the same time, what would last six weeks instead of three.

It could be also Toga´s turn because Zappa Mexico II only shows the minor improvements expected by Anthony and the new Zappa finished the 2nd CEGT Quad Marathon Championship 40/400 after 42 games with a disappointing result. Werner will give links to this one with rating update on Sunday and when I have posted in CEGT and Rybka forum what will happen probably tomorrow. I will also give remarks about openings and novelties in certain lines based on "The Week in Chess" and others where I collected a top database. Started is the 3rd Quad Marathon match Rybka 2.3.2a against Naum 3. First games will be also available on Sunday. Change here will be that I will play with elected sets from Harry´s new book, giving this way priority to lines en vogue and a frequency of variations chosen in current GM practice. I am doing this in order to see more novelties. But classic variations from the past century when top players where still not influenced by the strong engines will also be included.

Seeing by your efforts with positional and gambit rating lists that a lot of things can still be done this weekend you will also get games from Linares just finished with +ELO 2700 players. They are fully analyzed by the top engines Rybka 2.3.2a, Naum 3, Zappa Mexico II, Deep Shredder 11 and Hiarcs 11.2 mp versions with 3 minutes per move for each engine consecutively. Will also give statistical data regarding this. Commenting such a game this way also lasts averagely more than 24 hours, but who cares.
