CCRL update (6th November 2009)

[Graham Banks]

The latest CCRL Rating Lists and Statistics are available for viewing from the following links:
http://computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4040/ (40/40)
http://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/404/ (40/4)
http://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/404FRC/ (FRC 40/4)

Please note that the three lists are updated separately to each other.
The links given in each update report will give you the currently up to date lists.

The links to the various rating lists can be found just beneath the default Best Versions list.
For example there is a 32-bit Single CPU list.

Our 40 moves in 40 minutes repeating and 40 moves in 4 minutes repeating are both adjusted to the AMD64 X2 4600+ (2.4GHz).

Currently active testers are:
Graham Banks, Shaun Brewer, Aser Huerga, Kirill Kryukov, Dom Leste, Wassim Saeed, Charles Smith and Gabor Szots.

Be aware that in the early stages of testing, an engine's rating can often fluctuate a lot.
It is strongly advised to look at the many other rating lists available in order to get a more accurate overall picture of an engine's rating relative to others.

The LOS (likelihood of superiority) stats to the right hand side of each rating list tell you the likelihood in percentage terms of each engine being superior to the engine directly below them.

All games are available for download by engine, by month or by ECO code (not from the live links though).
ELO ratings are now saved in all game databases for those engines that have 200 games or more.

Clicking on an engine name will give details as to opponents played plus homepage links where applicable.

Custom lists of engines can be selected for comparison.

An openings report page lists the number of games played by ECO codes with draw percentage and White win percentage. Clicking on a column heading will sort the list by that column.

For any testers interested in joining our group, please read our homepage before applying.

Hi Graham,

When are you going to add (Deep) Shredder 12 into FRC rating list ?

Thx,
Yar

At the moment, only non-commercial engines are being added to the FRC list.

[Engin]

have you stopped Tornado since 2.2 ?

[Spock]

have you stopped Tornado since 2.2 ?

There have been so many releases over the last few months it is hard to know when to re-test it

[Engin]

many versions ?

they are only 1 or 2 month ago last releases, and how much long is the version 2.2 released ?

[Engin]

the version 2.2 is about 9 month ago

[Spock]

When I get the time, a later version will be tested.

There have been 12 or more versions over that 9 months
2.96
3.0
3.02
3.05
3.07
3.11
3.12
3.16
3.17
3.18
3.19a
3.21a

If I get to the 12 month point I will probably prioritise it.

[Engin]

thanks, but why the tournaments not counted that graham playing in the list ?

last actual tournament that graham playing is the bite of critter with version 3.21a and in the past he played olso with 3.19a i thing a lot of games.

Hi Engin,

I'm not sure how many of the versions since Tornado 2.2 play FRC, but we started testing the following versions for the 40/40 list. Many of them had to be "killed" because a new version came out.

Tornado 2.2 (389 games - established on list)
Tornado 3.0 (26 games - killed))
Tornado 3.02 (76 games - killed)
Tornado 3.12 (50 games - killed)
Tornado 3.16 (81 games - killed)
Tornado 3.19a (79 games - killed)
Tornado 3.21a (149 games - will continue to get it established)

Not a criticism, but just explaining it from a tester's point of view.
Keep up the good work with Tornado.

Cheers,
Graham.
