Arena Fun Tournament Under 2200

Post by mloftus955 »

I have been messing around with Arena lately and figuring it out slowly. While not enough games for a serious test, I thought it was an interesting tournament.

This tourney was played on my laptop. I made the mistake of having MadChess1.2 as a winboard engine instead of uci. I will get this right for the next time. For MadChess, it was an unfair test. I tried some older versions of Slowchess that did well, not sure their elo. GES 1.36 also did well.

For MadChess, it was an unfair test.
Do you mean it lost all of its games because it was misconfugured? Or because the competition was too strong?

I appreciate you including my engine in your tournament.

I have a beta version of 1.3 I can provide if you like. Requires .NET 4.5 though.

Hi Erik, yes it was misconfigured, my fault, not the engine.

I had it set for Winboard II instead of uci, and I am doing another similar tourney with the proper setting. I will be glad to test version 1.3, I will have to check my version of .NET.
