Thanks Clemens.
Should be interesting to see how closely the standings mirror the previous tournament.

Hi Clemens,

this time 2 new engines Hannibal 1.7 and Jonny 8.00

In fall-1 you played with Komodo 1943.00 (dev-Version)
why now with 11.2.2?

And SF playes with now with 221017 instead 170917


To be serious, what I notice, in fall-1 pgn i saw in many games often a score
of [%eval 35534, ... which CBase 14 konverted in 300.02
In the next move is the score normal again.

e.g. round 3.11 Houdini6 vs Deep Shredder 13 (many 300.02 by H6)
or Komodo 1943 vs Chiron 4 (many 300.02 by Komodo)
GUI issue ?

You let play with ponder OFF
Nevertheless, the expected move is displayed in the notation
e.g. 19.Lxe4 0.00/41 1:50 (Rd1)

Sometimes incorrectly displayed e.g. (Xxe4) as in round 4.9
Booot 6.2 vs Houdini 6

Is that a GUI issue too ?


Anyway, many thanks for providing your tournaments here.

Hi Herbert

I see no serious mistakes in my setup and I like the conditions as well as i like the participants. I want see how komodo 11.2.2 does, bcs its a masterpiece.
If sometimes there is a strange score, or an unreadable expected move, or whatever is disturbing you, To be honest,I dont care much about those things. Why don't you play and publish a tournament by your own to make it better`:P

Hi Clemens,

Thanks for yet another tournament. Small suggestions from my end.

I think the participants is wrong, please fix it in your post if possible.

Since latest SF is playing it may be good to highlight that , if possible.

Again, thanks for spending your time and resources to entertain everyone.

Regards,
Arun

This is normal behaviour in ChessGUI too.

Damned, you are right
Sorry for the mistake
