Thank you for your work Ferdinand. Very good tool.
I have a question about your EPD file. The thematic is not in the good order. For instance, STS 09: Advancement of a/b/c Pawns is at the end of the file. Is this wanted ?

However,
Here is the command line I use :
  • STS_Rating_v12 -f "STS1-STS15_LAN_v3.epd" -e "stockfish20150917pgo.exe" -t 1 -h 128 --proto uci --getrating
The rating is now higher. The number of physical cores is not yet well detected under Windows XP but this is not so important.

There was a bug in v9 that does not properly parsed the correct move in the epd v2. That is why the score was lower.
The order of epd file is fine. It can be re ordered from 1 to 15. Or any order. The parser will check the id of every epd line and save the score based on the id.

I have a site but I don't create blogs. I don't host the exe file there as it is too big.
Also the sts is done by Swaminathan and Dann. I am just creating a tool to read and let engines analyze this kind of epd format with some format changes.

Thanks for the tool. In my engine, Elo varies greatly from the previous version to this. Or maybe I had something broken. Now it seems that Elo is more like CCRL in my engine.

The sts_v9 has bugs on parsing epd_v2, ignore its results. Now this is fixed in sts_v12. The sts_v12 is now using epd_v3. The epd_v3 has revisions on sts12, from pos 1 to 23, there are now more alternative moves.
The officially released sts_v3 has no problem parsing the epd included in that package.

Any chance on a source-release so that it can be run on a non-exe system?

Try this v13.1, python src.

Code: Select all

STS Rating

Tested on Python 2.7.6, 2.7.11

v13.1
1. Remove dependency of cpu_info, cpu brand is no longer displayed.

v13
1. Also display app version in summary file
2. Modify reporting of number of cores, now no more physical
and no more logical cores, just number of cores
3. Added contempt for uci engines that supports such option

Try this v13.1, python src.

Code: Select all

STS Rating

Tested on Python 2.7.6, 2.7.11

v13.1
1. Remove dependency of cpu_info, cpu brand is no longer displayed.

v13
1. Also display app version in summary file
2. Modify reporting of number of cores, now no more physical
and no more logical cores, just number of cores
3. Added contempt for uci engines that supports such option
