TCEC 9

[IanO]

Hi,


i'm disappointet too, where is Junior my favorite engine?
Instead of Junior we will see some 22xx-24xx Elo engines?!
Must be a (bad) joke!

Deep Junior is commercial engine, which claim on its website 3200+ ELO in support of its $60 price.

Both in TCEC and CCRL it is ~3000 ELO.

To inflate your rating +200 ELO you have to cease participation in any tournaments.
Also you have to do this to hide absence of development - tournaments show that competitors are developing, while you are selling the same stuff year over year.

Another possibility is that Junior was disqualified for crashing last year. The three crashing engines (Equinox, Junior, and Pedone) are notably absent this season.

Any bets on which engine will crash first this year?
