22nd Amateur Series Division 5

Post by Graham Banks »

22ND AMATEUR SERIES (Division 5)

Intel Q6600 Quad Core
ChessGUI4Stick
128mb hash each
3-4-5 piece tablebases
Ponder off
HarrySchnapp.cgb book (limited to 12 moves)
40 moves in 32 minutes repeating (adapted for the CCRL)
4 cycles 44 rounds
All engines 32-bit 1CPU
Due to some engines being retired before the next series, the top four engines are likely to gain automatic promotion, but there will be no automatic relegation. The fifth top engine and the bottom engine (perhaps others also) will play grading matches to determine which division they will play in for the next series.

Hi Graham,

which version of ChessGUI4Stick is this ?
Do you really use it on a stick in 2 different computers ?

Cheers,
Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Hi Matthias,

I'm using ChessGUI4Stick 0.196 on a Q6600 for this tournament and for a gauntlet on an AMD64x2.

Cheers,
Graham.

Hi,

I am actually pleasantly surprised with Plisk's performance. I thought jumping up 2 divisions would mean it would be last and be demoted. But it looks like it has a slim chance of promotion actually!

I am still working on it, and I already have some improvements.

Regards,
Vlad.
