Amazing, thank you Wolfgang.

Hey Alex, Here is the new version of my engine https://www.dropbox.com/s/hyyk3pcpqn01ehz/booot6_4_release.rar?dl=0 Thanks for the new version. I will do my best to test it before the next update in CCRL 40/40. P.S. It will be nice to have booot as a github project as opposite to downloads from a dro...

236 Igel 2.4.0 x64 1CPU: 3020 - 1120 games (+53 to v. 2.3.1)

Thanks for testing Igel This result is from a CEGT 40/20 list with ponder off, right? The +53 elo is more that I expected

515 Igel 2.0.0 64 2650 - 0.0/0
101

I am curios why Igel 2.0.0 is used in this one as the latest version of Igel 2.4.0 is probably 200 elo stronger than 2.0.0?

Thanks for testing Igel @fastgm.

I hope Igel 2.4.0 outranking Rybka 4.1 in 10m+6s list is not a 1st April joke

Hey xr_a_y, Here's today results at LTC (8min+4sec) Igel 2.4.0 versus Minic 1.55 Good. I usually run my own regression suite of 500 games per opponent against a set of opponents (usually top 50 engines, tc=all/60+0.6 with tbs), this allows me to get an average elo increase estimate because the suite...

A tribute to the 25 pages long, Minic thread

Hey Werner, Is this name a good idea, as we have already Igel 2.4.0 :wink: Well, I don't know if it is possible to change the title of this thread, it was created long time ago when Igel was a weak 2600 elo engine, and no one was really interested in it (probably still the case), so the thread did n...

Hello Wolfgang, Adjudication rules: - adjudicate game as lost when both (!) engines show -999 centipawns for 5 moves I think the adjudication of 999 cp is the trick that causes the games to end smoothly on your side. When I fixed the bug yesterday, I realized it was in a very specific condition: 1. ...

Hey Wolfgang, Thanks very much. I'll integrate it in my current tournament and report. May take 2 or 3 days to get a considerable number of games Thanks! Sounds like a plan :) I noticed that with ponder=on Igel is stronger by at least 100 elo more against Topple (also with ponder). Don't know if thi...
