Komodo 5 & Another Beast- A Strange Story!

Post by geots »

The final score of this match does not come close to telling the story behind it. The only thing I could add is that Critter 1.6a seems to do "slightly" better ag. Strelka 5.5 than Komodo 5 does.

At any rate, Komodo wins this match by the exact score it lost last night to Strelka by. I would not have even posted these results except for the strange way each engine acquired their final scores:

Speaking only of the wins and losses- Komodo led in this match 13-3, they each win another, and then Critter rattles off 9 straight wins to finish within 1 game of Komodo. A simply amazing match.

If you ask me what I want- I want someone to explain to me how they think Komodo 3 64-bit is stronger than Critter 1.6a 64-bit-or anywhere near it.

Leto, in the listings for Strelka you show, I see one 5.1 in CCRL. No testing of 5.5? I assume in the CEGT list Strelka is 5.5, but you don't say.


I know Strelka 5.5, Komodo 5, and Critter 1.6a are all close in elo. But one of my points was at blitz, 40/20 or 40/40- you pick- there is no way Komodo 3 should be rated above Critter 1.6a.



Best and thanks for the info-
