Round-robin for Also-Rans

[Adam Hair]

I am currently running a round-robin for Also-Ran engines which need additional games. It also includes engines not yet on the Also-Ran list. Here is a ratings estimate (Ordo 0.6; rating for Tyrell 1.02 set at 1839 Elo) for the games played so far (excluding time forfeits and games adjudicated for rule infractions):

What may be of interest to some is that the ratings for the engines for the already established Also-Ran engines roughly correspond with the ratings computed for the Also-Rans list (which are derived from the entire CCRL 40/4 database using Ordo), though the common opponent overlap between the two databases for each engine is small. I have not compared the Bayeselo ratings yet, but I fully expect those to roughly correspond also.

Wow, what happened to Fimbulwinter 5?
I would have figured at least 1300 for the rating. It's not great in Arena, but would seem to be higher than 1000. In my Chessmaster 10th Edition it plays better.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Fimbulwinter is rated 1337 on the CCRL 40/4 list, much higher than the rating here. Also, I just checked a few of its games, and it gave away pieces. It is not running correctly on my Pentium IV.

[mloftus955]

Maybe the newer James Ablett version will run better.

Fimbulwinter 5.04ja

I appreciate what you are doing.
