[CCB] BugChess2 1.6.3 - 2747!

Post by swami »

I've added the BugChess2 1.6.3 to the same GBT 1 tournament gauntlet to see the progress, here are the results:

BugChess2 1.6.3 - Score: 77.5/100

Rank: 10

Previous Version Stats:

BugChess2 1.6.2 - Score: 58/100

Rank: 37

Notes:

What a tremendous improvement, BugChess 1.6.3 is highly improved in Blitz. It's estimated that it has gained about 160-180 Elo!

Congrats Francois!

Thanks Swami, this is great news :-)

However I think your 1.6.3 got lucky (or 1.6.2 unlucky) since your numbers are far more optimistic than what I got after 20000 games : a more modest 60 elo gain (+35 search & eval changes, +25 offline book learning). One difference is that i test with very fast games. Let us hope it scales very well...

I do prefer your numbers though ;)

Cheers

Maybe I was exaggerating about 160- 180 elo gain. Maybe little more than yours, Ie ~ 80-100 elo maybe more accurate. But either way, it's indeed a big improvement. Time for Bughchess MP and all that I think.. :)
