Hi George,

why post results from Strelka against some Ivanhoes and Vitruvius? Sorry, but if you want to prove that Vitruvius is stronger than Ivanhoe then that is the wrong way I think. Please post results of Vitruvius against several opponents, that is the only way to estimate its strength.

Best regards
Timo



Timo my friend, I appreciate your input. I will try to explain this, which I normally do not do when someone tries to explain to me the proper way to test an engine. I had just finished and posted the 4 Ivanhoe matches against Strelka. That had been done, and they are posted here. I only decided to include the new Vitruvius as an after thought after Roberto sent it to me. I was looking for something other than Critter or Houdini to stop Strelka. It made perfect sense to try the new engine.

This result was 1 50-game match. I said nothing about Vitruvius being stronger than these four Ivanhoes, and I was not attempting to prove anything one way or the other. It performed better here in this case than the Ivanhoes. Can it beat them itself. Haven't even thought about it- and that is not important right now to me. As I said, this was not a huge plan hatched by me. The Ivanhoe matches were already in the book. If you think I was trying to prove it was stronger than Ivanhoe THIS WAY, you know very little about me.

I welcome constructive criticism, but your comments do border on an insult to my abilities. If I had set out to prove Vitruvius was stronger than Ivanhoe this way, I would have to be a complete idiot- or have many more games to toss into the ring.

As for results against other engines, I have one from a match earlier today against Chiron 1.1a. It will come a little later today. Then there will be Stockfish, Rybka, Komodo. Then I will switch to 64bit. I think you will get all the matches you could ever want to see.

I take no offense, because I know you meant no harm and was trying to be helpful. But please, give me at least a little credit for having a modicum of common sense.

And I do hope you enjoy the engine.


Best regards,

george
