On-line engine blitz tourney October

[Henk]

Skipper was not able to join. I was so stupid to reset my computer. This triggered a windows 10 update that took 3.5 hours to install. Thank you Microsoft. I love you. I really do.

How can I see which games Embla won/draw in?
I'm interested in the pgns for that.

Type hist Embla
then type smoves Embla number of the game

but better is to type
/saveGameFile "filename"
at the start of winboard
then you save directly in your PC the games with eval , depth and PV

Nirvana had an interesting game against the baron.

Not such a good tournament for Nirvana this time, I was lucky enough to get 7.5 out of 9 and second place last month I was going to run it again today, but I didn't get home in time and you ran it anyway.

[Daniel Anulliero]

Very good and funny event, with a lot of engines (33 engines + BYE) , Yes , Skipper "the punisher" missed a lot
This was my best result so far , and this keep me a lot of motivation to improve Isa !
I show you the elo improvement of Isa ( with the permission (I hope) of my "old swedish friend" tester ) :

Code: Select all

Isa 1.9.8                      : 2178   15  16  1680    41.0 %   2241   15.5% 
ISA 1.7.41 (64)                : 2045   17  17  1400    49.7 %   2047   17.1 %
ISA 1.7.39.21 (64)             : 2034   16  16  1510    45.9 %   2063   16.1 %
Isa HGM (64)                   : 1935   19  19  1080    37.0 %   2028   17.3 %

Great thing is to see some new engines coming each months , chess computer programming reborn!
Again , many thanks to you , Harm , for your work to the community , your tournament smells Chesswar a lot
Bye

Skipper was not able to join. I was so stupid to reset my computer. This triggered a windows 10 update that took 3.5 hours to install. Thank you Microsoft. I love you. I really do.

It is a pity, everybody missed you especially Daniel.

Must be a very slow computer you are using, over here updating to a new Windows 10 build (and I have had many) usually takes 10 to 15 minutes max. It also depends upon your download speed of course which in my case is 500 Mb/sec.

The performance of Nightmare during this tournament was nothing to write home about, 30 minutes before the tournament I made a change that unexpectedly messed up things very badly. Trying to fix it before the tournament started was not a very clever idea, in the end I didn't had enough time to resort to a stable version.

[Henk]

Yes I was expecting ten to fifteen minutes too with a maximum of thirty minutes when I restarted my computer at about 20:00 yesterday.

[Actually I didn't expect any updates at all.]

Might also be that Hewlett Packard had some helpful updates too.

Maybe it's too difficult for them to create a simpel and minimal operating system that works perfectly.

[Henk]

No it wasn't HP for then it shows a special user interface. When after one hour my computer restarted again after shutting down it showed a message that it might take a while.
