Strength of Chess Genius Classic

[Amstaff]

It is a very nice, stable program and I even had the earlier versions when they were DOS programs. I am just curious as to the approximate strength on a typical dual-core laptop. Is there any testing results out there for CG classic 7?
Thanks,
Gerald

Hi Jerry !

I'm a big fan-also-of ChessGenius series !

ChessGenius Classic - the last version is 7.2e- on a modern PC- has a rating over 2.600. You can test yourself ! On ChessGenius GUI you can arrange engine-engine matches using near all WB & WB/UCI engines(like
Spike,Naum,Thinker,Smarthink,Ruffian ) using a very easy wbkonverter :

"Perhaps ChessGenius's greatest achievement came in August 1994 when it shocked the Chess World and became the first program ever to beat a World Champion (Gary Kasparov) at a non-blitz time level. ChessGenius also knocked GM Nikolic out of the same tournament, achieving an astounding 2795 ELO rating - all on a mere 100 Mhz Pentium PC! "

Is there any way to test it? I don't think it has a protocol for using external testers or tools.

Hi Don,
if I remember correct:
I tested ChessGenius on a Windows 32bit System with a Intel Dual Core 6600. I made eng-eng matches with ponder off using the same short book for both engines. Time was adapted to CEGT 40/20.

All opponents have been wb compatible engines installed into the Chess Genius GUI . Maybe I even used some uci engines with a uci-wb adapter.

I think it is too possible to make matches between 2 PC using auto232 connection (you need a com port or a usb/com adapter and 2 similar pc - and here most games run with ponder on. So nothing for CEGT.

PS any news abouts new Komodo?
regards
Werner

But what was the strength when you tested it? And if this is Chess Genius Classic what does the "classic" mean? I wonder which version of genius (if any) this corresponds to?

I cannot run it on windows 7, but it's running on linux using wine with no trouble.

Hi,
I have tested Chess Genius 7.0 engine:
736 Rotor 0.3 2412
737 Genius 7 2409
738 Romichess P3K 2409

Classic is the name of the new GUI which is now compatible to newer Windows. See more here: http://chessgenius.com/pc/index.html

The engine itself was not changed - I think till version 6.5 - its written in Assembler code I have heard.

And the pc I have tested it a long time ago is history - I do not have it anymore.
