Re: On-line engine blitz tourney September
If the hardware keeps up (SD card is fragile), micah-gb will participate.
A special cluster version running on 4 rpi zeros and a 3.
Very weak.
For fun & kicks I'll put Pos on-line as well.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney September
I just wrote an email to get an account. If everything works out, Pygmalion will get it's baptism of fire I am pretty sure that it will be ranked last, but so what? Time to start playing real games!

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney September
Arasan got the top spot, Nightmare came in second, Marvin, atomNightmare and Arminius ended 3th.
After the 2nd round mhouppin logged off and never came back, resulting in a series of losses.
Several regulars were missing, including the engines of Harm Geert. Hopefully they will be back next month.
See you all next time!

I was curious about Pygmalion because I never heard of it, thus I looked up the finger notes on your server.Joost Buijs wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 10:27 pm Arasan got the top spot, Nightmare came in second, Marvin, atomNightmare and Arminius ended 3th.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney September
Yesterday I noticed this too and decided not to make a point of it. I could be possible that he first tried to logon with Arena and later switched to Winboard with his own engine. The program played very weak, about the level of Sargon 1, I assume SOS 5.1 from Rudolf Hubner is much stronger than this.Guenther wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 2:55 pm

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney September
It is actually currently just 10 CCRL points weaker than Myrddin, so definitely should have done much better.Joost Buijs wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 4:55 pm Yesterday I noticed this too and decided not to make a point of it.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney September
Yes, and the 3.5 points Pygmalion scored are easy to misinterpret. The three wins: POS is the random mover, micahgb threw away its material including the queen (likely some setup issue because Micah is 2100 CCRL where that doesn't happen), and mhouppin forfeited because of internet connection problems. Hence, the only opponent that played trouble-free chess was Sargon, and that was an even fight.Joost Buijs wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 4:55 pmThe program played very weak, about the level of Sargon 1, I assume SOS 5.1 from Rudolf Hubner is much stronger than this.
