Great improvements: Scorpio 2.7 / Tornado 4.40, Oldie-Mix

Post by Frank Quisinsky »

Hi there,

both engines participant in the still running SWCR-64 update tourney. After 330 of 1.000 games both comes with bigger improvements.

Again a bigger ELO jumping for Tornado ...

Code: Select all

Tornado 4.40 x64             2604   34   35   327   27%  2772   30% 
Tornado 4.40 w32             2562   19   19  1000   32%  2692   32% 
Tornado 4.25 x64             2541   20   20  1080   27%  2717   25% 
Tornado 3.6.7 x64            2481   23   24   840   19%  2727   24%
Scorpio had in version 2.6 much problems with king safty, easy to see in SWCR databases. After all I can see the king safty is clearly better in actual version 2.7.

Code: Select all

Scorpio 2.7 JA x64           2614   33   34   327   29%  2771   31% 
Scorpio 2.6 JA x64           2556   18   18  1200   27%  2728   31% 
So far Scorpio are playing in SWCR-64 only.
But I will add this engine in my next SWCR-32 update tourney. So I have for Scorpio the different 32bit to 64bit too.

Code: Select all

Actual:

Unterschied (German) = different (english)
zu (German) = to (english)
NEU (German) = new (english)

Hi there,

I am sure ... after the good known ratings from the 18 engines (only Francesca is playing in a new version) nobody (perhaps Francesca) can reach a better rating as Tornado 4.40 w32 in the scheduled "Oldie-Mix-Tourney".

Very interesting tourney I think and I will be happy if the tourney is still running :-)

Regards to the Tornado programmer Engin :-)
Engin, now let us look in detail ...

Frank

And for sure ...
I will add the tactical bombs in these Oldie-Mix-Tourney. With Shredder 12, Hannibal 1.0a, SmarThink 1.20, Spark 1.0 the Oldies will get more problems and I can see more interesting short games :-)
