Congratulations to the Rybka team.

[mclane]

thank you theo, what an amazing tournament.
i am especially happy that The King and Diep were so good although their hardware was not the best.

[Tony Thomas]

Junior lost against ZZZZ, what the heck?

[Nid Hogge]

Junior lost against ZZZZ, what the heck?

Yep.

That was surely the highlight of the tournament.

Everything else as excpected.

Nice performance from Diep though.

'Grats,

[Ryan Benitez]

Very good showing by both Diep and CTD.

[Marc Lacrosse]

Very good showing by both Diep and CTD.

I suppose CTD is Baron.
1/4 against the strong programs it has to play against.
Not so nice a showing IMHO.

Junior's win is the only surprising event in this tournament IMHO (together with zzzz incredible win).

[Vempele]

I suppose CTD is Baron.

Why? CTD is Crash Test Dummy, Baron is the Baron.

For those that wonder what CTD is: It is not the Baron, but a still very dumb engine with only the basic stuff to play chess. It does have a relatively fast move generator etc. but no nullmove, no pruning, no search tricks and basically a piece-square table evaluation (with only a few extra's.
Funny enough, although the Baron has a more realistic score, and finds Nh5 faster, it seems to have a bit more trouble selecting Nf4 (in the PV):

I take this as a compliment as it was really CTD playing. Before the tournament I send CTD022 to a few testers and that was exactly the version that drew Spike in the first round. Between rounds I did some millipawn evaluation tuning and between rounds 6 and 7 I reactivated the passed pawn evaluation (pawn endings only) that I ported from the Baron a long time ago, and which I removed in CTD 015 or 016 to make it deliberately a more basic engine. I remembered this late yesterday night and put it back in. I don't think it mattered in either of the games though.
Needless to say that I was very happy with the tournament result.

Richard.

My pleasure.
In addition to what you write my remark is that everybody can be beaten (Rybka by Junior and Junior by Zzzzzz!).

Thanks to the new wireless broadband internet support it was easy to improvise broadcasting as I did with Zzzzzz-Deep Junior.

'Grats,

Another highlight was Deep Junior beating Rybka.
