Graham Tournament.
game last night.
Both engines reached move 36 no catch,
From there struggles sided board.
After a sacrifice of quality and a lower piece the fight ended with a perpetual check.

Thanks, Graham.

Glad you're enjoying the games.
The gauntlet will run to 260 games, so still a while to go.

Hello Graham, I'm curious if you have done any performance calculations for this gauntlet.

So far I'm getting the impression Bouquet 1.5 MP performed better overall, possibly being the strongest Ippo-derivative (behind Houdini and Critter). Not so sure anymore, after Bouquet 1.6 was released.

Regards,
CL

The CCRL lists will be updated this weekend, so best take a look on Monday.
I suspect that Bouquet 1.5 64-bit 4CPU will remain ahead of Bouquet 1.6 64-bit 4CPU, but I guess we need to take the error margins into account as well.

[Gusev]

Not so sure anymore, after Bouquet 1.6 was released.

Bouquet 1.6 was released ostensibly to fix some bugs in the earlier Bouquet 1.5, so I just kept 1.6. They should test as close as Rybka 4 and Rybka 4.1
