AH_LTC Stairway to Heaven Competition

[Aser Huerga]

AH_LTC Stairway to Heaven Competition is divided into 3 classes, each one containing 3 engines and a candidate:

Stairway to Heaven Competition:

1. Made In Heaven class
2. Knockin on Heaven's Door class
3. Seven Steps to Heaven class

From time to time time there will be a match between number 1 of each class and the group above's candidate.
Due to CPU time limits I will only test engines in actual development and only the ones I'm interested in.

Conditions are:

i7-3930K CPUs 4.25 GHz
90'+30" TC
1 core for all engines
Ponder off
1024 Hash
3-4-5 EGTBs (when available) in SSDs
150 Early Starting Positions Suite, slightly tunned to avoid transpositions (checked with engine vs same-engine matches), and created as a proportional representation of the most played openings/variations on the last recent years in high quality human chess tournaments (source TWIC, only 2400+ ELO players) AH_150_Opening_Suite
All positions are played with Switched Colors for a total of 300 games per match
Games available for download, including eval/time/depth and PV for each move

Hope you enjoy!
