Hi,
Colossus 2008a first rating in the UEL: 2453 (2007d: 2526, 1370 games rated).
PGN on the Division Senior page.
It must be something wrong in the time management, Colossus lose 3 games on time. It's never happend with 2007d.
Regards,
Patrick

Re: Colossus 2008a : 2453
Thanks for the tests, Patrick. I think the author reported it on his own page that the newer version is atleast around 30 elo better than the previous one, even in faster bullet time controls.

Re: Colossus 2008a : 2453
It is very slow and inevitably gets into time trouble in longer games without increment.Le Fou numerique wrote:Hi,

The author only tests with bullet time controls and probably didn't notice.
Re: Colossus 2008a : 2453
It's not the speed of the game as such but the lack of any Fischer time increment that's causing the problem. Unfortunately I always test with time increments so didn't notice the problem when there isn't any.
The driver behind using the time more aggressively was that I was sick of seeing Colossus lose still having maybe 30%+ of its clock time remaining.
Hence I biased it to use much more time early (and hence play better early). It then leaves less time for the endgame, but at least you've survived that far! With even a small time increment it isn't so much of a problem, but with no time increment... Ooops!
One more for the fix list

Hi,
first CEGT results with 40/3 (repeated time control) show an improvement of 35 points compared with 2007d.
But - as usual - much tooooo less games for a (halfway) reliable statement.
Till our next update next weekend 500 games will be played giving a better comparison (hopefully....)
Test can be followed here: http://cegt.foren-city.de/topic,102,-te ... 2008a.html
