Re: Texel 1.06a19 Chess engine
Maybe interim version, but definitely stronger than Texel 1.05

Re: Texel 1.06a19 Chess engine
The "a" is short for "alpha", so it is indeed a development version, not a "real" release. Texel is open source and I don't mind if people use the development versions. However I think it is best if rating lists stay with the released versions in order to get smaller error bars.SzG wrote:Peter is a regular poster here so I'd wait till he announces the release.

Hi Peter,
yes, for us (People working on a rating list) it's better not to have each month a new version. The poroduced rating is much better and for sure the improvements to the next / follow version are better to see.
On the other hand ...
Texel 1.05 is over a year old and maybe it's time for an official release? I am sure you have reasons not to release Texel 1.06?
Texel is great for each of us.
Very fine software and of course ... your Droidfish on my Smartphone too (my main program on my smartphone and tablet).
Have a good new year.
Hope that I can see in the future many new Texel versions.

I think that we should let engine authors release when they're ready to, without them feeling pressured to do so.
Just my opinion of course.

Re: Texel 1.06a19 Chess engine
Hi Graham,
that is right but in case of Texel I am to pry!
On my Q9550 systems Texel Alpha is running since yesterday and I can see here very nice games and results. I like to know why the programmer will not released the new version. Such information can be very interesting, not only for interviews. Believe me ... if I start an interview with the Texel programmer ... this will be the first question.
I wrote for around two years in the playing style description that I am thinking that Texel will be one of the TOP-5 engines in the next years. Today I have the same opinion ... Engine have a lot of potential in my opinion. Each information about Texel and development is in my opinion ... a ... nice to have and important for the future.

Re: Texel 1.06a19 Chess engine
I ran a hyper-bullet (0.08s / move) test on my computers and 106a34 was 22 elo stronger than 105. In typical rating list conditions this might shrink to half of that, which will be hard to measure.Frank Quisinsky wrote:Texel 1.05 is over a year old and maybe it's time for an official release?

Re: Texel 1.06a19 Chess engine
Hi Peter,
thanks!
I have 400 games vs. 10 opponents I like and saw a lot of nice games here. I believe again more aggressive with many pieces on board (like that).
Keep up to good work you do.

PS: If I added the games in my FCP Rating List (but played on older "SWCR, my older rating list" Q9550 hardware) I can see 38 Elo+. But other Hardware = other conditions and not enough games and opponents ... not very important.
