Although the rating gain of 30 seems about right (we currently show 32), the actual rating is surprisingly low relative to some other engines, especially Critter 1.6. What percentage of these games are played with SSE4? That is a big deal with Komodo 5.

Thanks. Were there any losses on time? There shouldn't be, but I just want to be sure. Also, what is the normal number of book moves (in plies) used? We're looking into whether this is a factor in explaining different results by different testers.

no time losses detected...

concerning book moves: I do not use books, but testsuites (e.g. Silver Suite), length is from 3 to 15 full moves. shortest one is from silver suite (1.c4 e5 2.Sc3 Sf6 3.Sf3 Sc6), longest is from Gerhard Sonnabends suite, a line from Slav Defence, D17. I think that "normal" length is around 8 full moves, 16 plies.

Thank you. Do you or any of your fellow testers ever use (or even know about) any testsuite that contains at least 5,000 positions? We have our own, but it only goes out 5 moves, so it would be interesting for us to compare our own test results with what we would get using some other large testsuite that had enough positions.
