As much as I'd love to agree with you, LT doesn't do very well at such fast time controls :(
Hi Nathan,

Don't worry,I'm sure you can do better,it seems that Little thought doesn't lose on time but it just didn't play at its own level when it came to blitz 1/1,maybe it plays well at longer time controls,trust me that there are some engines which behave in a same way,but most of the engines are responsive to fischer time controls.

All the best.

That is a shame, because LT is much stronger than it appears here. At least one full class stronger I would say! :D

I just wanted to give you a hint about Obender. It never worked for me in fisher time control.
I get it ,Tony.Hope the author improves the time management for the engine.
Also I made a wrong choice as far as Greko is concerned. Among the well tested engines in my tournamnents Nano clearly scores better.
But I'm using a latest version of Greko (Greko 5.3),and that would add some elo to the the 5.2 that you use.

Code: Select all

24 NanoSzachy 2.7                 : 2318   25  25   660    38.5 %   2400   14.8 %
 25 Zeus 1.28                      : 2314   24  25   660    39.2 %   2390   18.0 %
 26 GreKo 5.2                      : 2244   25  26   710    28.5 %   2404   16.2 %
Next time,refer to your list,Tony and make predictions based on that :wink: and that way you can overshadow Graham or Michael or anyone else except me,that comes your way :D[/quote]

Yes, but I used an older version of Nano as well.

Gaviota and Atak both have bugs,Gaviota says it's illegal move when the opponent give check!

Atak just stops sometimes,plays too fast and makes mistake.

Obender loses on time sometimes.

Remaining engines played quite well and without bugs.

Also Joker deserves notice! It has come a long way in a very short time. I imagine that if HG keeps improving it at the same pace for awhile that it will promote in both the next two tournaments!!
