Dear Chess Friends,

As I mentioned before,
I started a new competition, based on Top 5 engines !

Note also that,
There is a possibility to include more participants....

Thanks for this match Sedat !
"6 cores per game with PB=on" does that means each engine uses 3 threads ?

Hello Vincent,

Not at all...

That's right..engines are playing at 3 cores per side, total 6 cores per game !

After my decent testings (Ponder ON vs Ponder OFF etc..)
I strongly started to believe that engines as MP + Ponder ON are playing much stronger than...!

Note also that,
SCCT's used openings, plus no using LIVE tools on same PC etc...are another very important factors too !

In other words, for a better engine performance and strength:
I've done my best to produce very high quality SCCT games...

But however, sorry to sat that but reality is reality:
Many many people (including many testers too) are interested more in beauty than strength !



Best,
Sedat

New Update

Komodo 1318 is the current Leader - Congrats to Komodo team !

SCCT Gladiators 2014 - Standings after 116 games:
http://www.sedatcanbaz.com/chess/?page_id=1168

Note: I included the 12 games, played at 40/120 as 1 core at the current standings!
Because I think that the quality and the strength of those 12 games are similar!

Greetings,

New Update

As before, Komodo 1318 MP still leads the tournament...!!!
Stockfish is currently second, but what about after 100 games ?!)
Really I am not sure which of the both Top players will win...
Note that I plan to include Chiron 2 MP as next participant!

Komodo will win.
Stockfish need more active testers because they haven't (GMs) in team.

Yes... it looks like Komodo can be the winner, but however everything can happen, because Stockfish is very close in points....

BTW,
Now I can understand why Rybka, Houdini, Komodo are so super strong...
Because as we know...all the mentioned engines are created by very strong chess players...

Just an example,
Mr. Larry Kaufman is senior World champion and GM
Plus Larry was a member of the Rybka team
And now he is one of the authors of Komodo engine
I mean it's not luck that Komodo is on top !)

Stockfish members should improve the own chess knowledge and strength (ELO), then it should be easier to improve Stockfish.

Poor Chiron, its score expected is around 22% ...
