I noticed Plywood 1.73x always ponder. Is there any way to set it off?
I see no command for that in the ini file.
Also, Muriel 0.71 has been replaced by Noonian 3.206 due to Muriel lost 3 games on time in a row and in early stages of the game.
Regards,
Carlos
PS: After further testing, it seems Plywood is no pondering, but it grabs the free core in its opponent's turn.

Re: Battle of the Forgotten
BotF 9th Cycle Update:
Notes:
- At first sight it seemed that Plywood and Simple always play with ponder on, but after further testing it seems they only grab a core while their opponent is thinking. I tested Skaki and it has a similar behaviour. I will test the other engines I reported as pondering always.
- Butterfly has some losses on time, mostly when it is in desperate/loss positions.
- I saw a game where Dendron 0.42b castled under check. The prior version did it often. It seems that bug was not totally fixed yet.

- At first sight it seemed that Plywood and Simple always play with ponder on, but after further testing it seems they only grab a core while their opponent is thinking. I tested Skaki and it has a similar behaviour. I will test the other engines I reported as pondering always.
- Butterfly has some losses on time, mostly when it is in desperate/loss positions.
- I saw a game where Dendron 0.42b castled under check. The prior version did it often. It seems that bug was not totally fixed yet.

Notes:
- According to Jonas Thiem, Ildtiadar's author, his engine works fine under Winboard, meaning no problems to start like in Arena. More information about it, here.

- According to Jonas Thiem, Ildtiadar's author, his engine works fine under Winboard, meaning no problems to start like in Arena. More information about it, here.

Hi Carlos,Carlos777 wrote:2. Surprise 4.3-beta 13 (lost 9 games on time.)
I just noticed that info. Could you send me all games of Surprise, at least those where it lost on time (but all others would be nice, too)?
Also, where can I find a description of the exact conditions you have used? I only know "Arena" and "1+1", anything else?
Thanks,
Sven

Here are all the games of Surprise.
The conditions are in the first page of this post:Sven Schüle wrote: Also, where can I find a description of the exact conditions you have used? I only know "Arena" and "1+1", anything else?
Thanks,
Sven
Code: Select all
The conditions of the tournament:
- Pentium D 2.8GHz
- Windows XP 32 bits
- Approx. 64-128 Mb hash
- Ponder OFF
- Time control: 1'+1"
- Own book if available, if not HS-20moves book limited to 10 moves.
- Engines can use both cores
- Round Robin x2

Re: Battle of the Forgotten
Thanks, Carlos. I took a first look at the games but I'm afraid it will be necessary for me to try to reproduce the problem on my own, since I could not find any obvious similarities between these games that were lost on time. It would have been nice to see something like "when it happens, it always happens after move 50" or so, but this is not the case.
The only common thing was that in nearly all games Surprise lost on time in won positions

Re: Battle of the Forgotten
Unfortunately, it is all the information I have about it. I'd like that Arena had an option to keep the debug files for each game. Anyway, Arena seems to have a bug related to time control (it is not exact) and engines with aggressive time management losses on time now and then for this reason. Not sure if it is the case with Surprise though.Sven Schüle wrote:Thanks, Carlos.

OTOH, I have seen some games where engines lost won/drew games on time because they keep searching until the last ply depht. For example, Scorpio, Protector and some versions of Toga. Some engines like Crafty moves instantly when they reach a position with 4 or 5 pieces, using EGTB info, other engines like the mentioned above keep searching (showing a PLY 64 +Mate in X eval score) despite they have few seconds on the clock.

Carlos

Re: Battle of the Forgotten
Battle of the Forgotten 9th Cycle - Final Results:
The winner of this cycle was RDChess 3.23. Congratulations to Rudolf Posch!
Notes:
- Butterfly lost 52 games on time and 18 games by illegal moves.
- Raffaela lost 18 games on time and 1 game by illegal move.
- Dendron lost 5 games by illegal moves.
- Sierzant lost 4 games on time.
- Killerqueen lost 4 games by illegal move and 1 game on time.
- Kurt lost 4 games by illegal moves and 2 on time.
- Freyr lost 2 games on time because it could not start.
Thanks to everyone who followed the tournament, specially to the authors of these engines, some people who contribute with suggestions and some who showed interest in it.
What is next now? I plan to run 2 tournaments, a Top 30 and a Bottom 30 engines tournaments, according to my rating list. There are 2 reasons for this:
1. Because is fun for me.
2. To tune up a little the rating list.
About the second reason, I know that hundreds of games for each engine would be needed to get an accurate rating list, but this is not my purpose and I don't have the resources to do it neither. OTOH, Adam Hair is testing a big number of engines of all levels with lots of games. It is a very interesting and I hope he publish his rating list soon. Anyway, in my experience having around 100 games for each engine gives you a good approximation on how strong these engines are.
Best regards,
Carlos

Thanks to everyone who followed the tournament, specially to the authors of these engines, some people who contribute with suggestions and some who showed interest in it.
What is next now? I plan to run 2 tournaments, a Top 30 and a Bottom 30 engines tournaments, according to my rating list. There are 2 reasons for this:
1. Because is fun for me.
2. To tune up a little the rating list.
About the second reason, I know that hundreds of games for each engine would be needed to get an accurate rating list, but this is not my purpose and I don't have the resources to do it neither. OTOH, Adam Hair is testing a big number of engines of all levels with lots of games. It is a very interesting and I hope he publish his rating list soon. Anyway, in my experience having around 100 games for each engine gives you a good approximation on how strong these engines are.
Best regards,
Carlos
