Yeah its troll season again. They always start with an agony of posts...Jimmy Huggins wrote:Maybe Osipov Jury should get Dimitri Yasenko for copy right infringement on his user name --> Strelkaman :lol:
Makes as much sense has his argument.
Thank you...i am happy that you noticed what i meanSedat is right.
Since more than two years i am running the engines with priority below normalThe question that you have to do is why Sedat chose to change the priorities settings?I
Yes...its true that my latest rating list is based on with Ponder OFFSedat make engine tests with Ponder OFF
It was a misunderstanding,Sedat.Iam very sorry.I thought that you wrote "above normal",but you wrote "below normal".Keep on your great work.Sedat Canbaz wrote:Zdrastvui Dimitri,

(I am using this useful priority recommendation by H.G.Muller)
Yes...its true that my latest rating list is based on with Ponder OFFSedat make engine tests with Ponder OFF
Please see here why i switched to running matches on same PCs (with Ponder OFF):
http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforu ... ?tid=24866
But note also that i am running Auto232 (Ponder ON) matches almost 10 years
Plus i have thousands of games (with Ponder ON) played by Houdini and in my every testing: Houdini is ranking 1st
Still i am waiting a recommendation about in which setting i need to test the Houdini's opponents
I mean,where Houdini will start to loose
In case of such priority recommendation:then i promise to run a Auto232 test against each other between two PCs
Then really i wonder a lot about what will be Opponent's Elo difference against Houdini ?!
Btw,the below priority data is captured during the engines thinking process:
Best,

I don't say it's the case with Houdini but it's very easy to hide something to the task manager ... For example : the viruses ... They don't appear in task manager but are still running.
Sure. It is possible for an engine to disobey the ponder-off command, use more CPUs than you tell it to use, use more hash memory than you tell it to use... I know some Xiangqi engines that steal CPU. But you always find out pretty easily with the task manager that something fishy is going on.2. A know example of Process Thief is Ivanhoe 58 ...
Try it with ponder off and you'll see it freeze the other engine and it is always running !
Maybe Houdini can do like Ivanhoe 58 but more slightly (without completely freezing the other engine but just slow down a little) and maybe Houdini can also have an hidden process running ...
Have you ever tested TSCP against Stockfish or Houdini at 8 ply? That would be a very educative experience! The difference between top engines, which all have very similar searches, is of course only modest, but when you try something really different...You said 8ply for Houdini is not 8ply for Critter. Can you explain ?
Because for me it seems the same ...
If I test 7 ply / 8 ply (the 8 win nearly everything), and if I test 8 ply / 7 ply (the 8 win nearly everything) so the only comparable is with the same ply ...

No problem... its ok
Btw,do you have any info about Strelka Mp-when will be released ?

I just try a fast test on 100 games at 8 Ply depth for each engine ...
Better is to test with at least depth 20 but too much time necessary for this (I can only do these long test during the night).
And yes it seems very strange ... but need more games and more depth to conclude anything ... If someone can test it ...Code: Select all
Gui = Fritz 11 Book = HS 7 moves + (ctg) Hash = 64mb 1 Critter 1.4 64-bit +40/-18/=42 61.00% 61.0/100 (+78 elo) 2 Houdini 2.0b Pro x64 +18/-40/=42 39.00% 39.0/100 (-78 elo)
INTERESTING approach by Tennison.Let me think it for a while.What Tennison did is that he locked the plies for both engines.Houdini can't maximize his abilities because he can't use the CPU memory through the advance of plies.My theory is that Houdini absorbs CPU processor memory abilities faster than any other engine.Thats why the processor is overheating faster when Houdini is running.Well Done Tennison.Iam looking forward to see other tests from you
Nice to meet you George Speight.
