[CCB] Division 10, Edition 8

Post by swami »

Image

There are so many freeware engines rated around 1800- 2100, I'm just not sure which ones to choose, so instead I downloaded bunch of them and I've decided to organize a single robin...I want to get an idea which amongst them play better blitz, for example, RDChess is rated low in many ratings list, yet it plays 300 elo stronger in blitz than in standard.

the rule is simple:
the engine will get to play 40 games. (41 engines total and a single round robin)
for EPC calculation, the score of the engines will be converted, rounded off and calculated to 60.
for example, if you chose the engine that gets 20/40, then the EPC score is 30/60. Likewise.

I will get my ass kicked in this division from looking at the list. I havent played with many of the engines, few of the authors have stronger engines out(colchess, samchess), few others arent playing on WBEC.

Swami, why is it so hard for you to install the engines with their version names? I thought you said that you were going to do that from next division/edition. Why not start now? It would make your hobby a lot easier.

I found this division the hardest ever I have seen as far as making a prediction goes. None of the engines are obvious choices, not for me anyway. So I decided to help everyone out by posting my cheat sheet. The once that are marked XXXX are the engines that I have never tested or I couldnt find a rating for. I tried to arrange them alphabetically, but gave up..

Oh yes, I forgot it, I thought that I was going to rename everything in accordance with their version numbers the next edition. All the engines use the latest version, but I will post the list sooner today anyway.

By the way, dont tell me I didnt warn you, some of those engines are going to be losing on time, a lot. By the way, is there a reason for not using Colchess 8.0?
