TCEC Tournament 4 - Long TC - Live - Now with Ivanhoe ++

[UncombedCoconut]

Jonny is fresh off the shelf - will probably end last here but it might surprise us with some nice play.

Its first game was rather fun!

From Martin's website:

22.10.2010 @ 21:39 There has been a slight change of plans, the hardware upgrade will start today. As a result the current TCEC Tournament 4 will be paused just before Round 7, which in turn will be resumed as soon as the hardware upgrade has been completed in ~1 week.

Naum4.2 won because Ivanhoe crashed (ChessBomb chat).

[Paloma]

Hmm, it is very rare. In Frank Quisinsky's Tournament (SWCR) Ivanhoe had not a single crash in 920 games, but it's on a single core and slightly different Version.

Thanks for the Info Matthias.

[Martin Thoresen]

Yes, Ivanhoe crashed and so it lost on time.

I was worried this might happen as it seems Houdini is the only stable IPP family engine (if it's indeed IPP but that's another debate).

The upgrade is going very well, I'll be done in a couple of days.

[Martin Thoresen]

The hardware upgrade is finally completed after some weeks of struggling, but I am now happy to announce that TCEC Tournament 4 has been resumed where it left off.

Very good. Thanks Martin.

Hi,

yes, all IvanHoe I used played without any problems.

- IvanHoe 52iUSTMO x64
- IvanHoe T0.4
- IvanHoe B52aC

But other conditions, perhaps other problems.

Example:
IvanHoe B52aD, B52aE lost some games on time with ponder = on. So I played the SWCR tourney with version B52aC.

Best
Frank
