FCP Tourney-2022 ...

Hi Jouni,

where is the contempt parameter for Stockfish?
Too many draws vs. clearly weaker engines.
Think so!

End of the weak I will switched to the current dev. version of Stockfish.
Updates are possible until Nov. 21st, 2021.

Nice tournament Frank!

I'd love it if the games were being broadcast. Have you ever tried pgn4web?
As far as I know you'd simply need to ftp the tournament pgn file to the server, just like you're doing for the crosstable etc.

Anyway thx for your time and effort!

Hello Vernon,

thank you!

I am more or less old school.
I don't like chess server for an example for some reasons.
Never I am looking live events in www.
I like more to read good chess books or to replay games with Chess Explorer from Marc with a bottle of French wine.

But I am open for good ideas.
I know pgn4web and try it two times for some years.
Without success. I am too stupid for that.

If any person, with better knowledge about it, like to do it why not.
For the moment I am happy that the tournament is still running and I have the own overview about the or organization and updates. The updates I have to do for the Excel files from Klaus need many time. Will be start after round 5 or 6, after 200 - 240 games per engines.

Hi there,

1.
Something is wrong with Demolito.
Demolito 2021-10-21 PEXT x64
38.5 / 152 2561.00 25.33% 2983
Engine should play 50 Elo stronger!

I will changed to:
Demolito 2021-07-09 PEXT x64
Have a look here:
https://www.amateurschach.de/fling/test ... -2022.html

2.
Stockfish 14.1 is released with AVX2 only.
Better is to used BMI2 on Intel and AVX2 on AMD.
BMI2 compile missed in official Stockfish setup.
Furthermore, I will changed to the current development version.

Both changes I will do during the evening.

Hint:
I wish me Stash 32 in my tournament and got the information that the programmer of Combusken is working since a while.
Would be great to added it until end of the weak. Maybe the programmers read my message!

Frank: Stockfish has BMI version here https://stockfishchess.org/download/windows/! But speed difference to AVX2 is below 1%. No difference anymore. Why You don't give RTX 3070-TI for Lc0?

[Frank Quisinsky]

Hi Jouni,

*.sto tournament file by Shredder GUI for three systems load via Network.
Means the next games for three PCs.

I have the RTX-3700 on one PC only.

That's really a problem!
The reason I can't use for Lc0 the RTX-3700 for an automatically network tournament with Shredder GUI.

Before November 21st, 2021 I would like to update Stockfish to a current version.
A good time to do that.

Demolito:
On Intel is running the PEXT version.
This is right.
On AMD I should used the POPCNT version (this I forgot).
Furthermore, very sure that Demolito 20210907 is stronger as the last version.

Can fix directly two little problems and will give me ...
Maybe 5-7 Elo more for Stockfish and maybe 50 Elo more for Demolito.
I will have the maximal possible power for my TOP-41 tournament.

Hi there,

the programmer of Fire (Norman Schmidt) helps me again with parts on my website.
Norman helps me in the past a lot, during FCP Rating List was still running (for some years).

pgn4web is the topic:

Not ready yet ... still working on it.

THANKS Norman!!
