Mephisto Gideon Professional (1993) for Winboard and UCI

[Adam Hair]

Here are 4 games played by Gideon against old and new engines. As soon as I figure out how to use pgn4web with my blog, I will post the games there. It is a pity that we do not have pgn4web integrated here (it would require an upgrade of the forum phpBB software).

+1 Would be great !!

Thanks for the very nice games !

Thank you, Gabriel. My post about Ed's donations is now up on my blog. The games I shared here can be played through with pgn4web at my blog. Maybe one day we can do that here.

Hello,

I just launched a long game between Delphil 2.9f (2 cores) versus Mephisto Gideon Professional. Will send you the PGN

Cheers,

Thanks, Gabriel! I have updated the Gideon post and added your game (with its own board).

Hello,

Hi Ed,

Just coming back to you as i sort of unchained this wonderful story with a little thread contribution, and you of course did all the great work.

For the last days i've been running positions in analysis mode on two fast pc's, parallel with engines of what i call the "fruit family". The big surprise is that on long analysis (4-8 hrs) Gideon does not do much less than the fruits, and occasionally finds the right way to go earlier, mostly regarding tactical stuff. Having said that, the fruits were never tactical monsters, even compared to the profylactic Rebels. The branch factor seems to be the main weakness of Gideon, and as known only fixed withe Rebel Century 2.0 if i remember correctly. Of course the endgame is not so mature yet; no surprise there.

Anyway, it is a joy to have Gideon back. Looking forward to Rebel 6.

Cheers, Kaj

[Kingghidorah]

Congrats Ed. First time one of your progras worked on my Windows 7 64b OS. Program goes pretty fast, it'll b fun playing it

What was Mephisto Gideon Professional (1993) rated in its day anyway? I seem to recall in the 2300-2400 range.
