Previous version of Homer was not as strong as the current one, probably about 200 elo weaker. I have not done extensive tests of Homer, only around 130 games at the most. Homer is a 2nd division engine at long time controls and its more like a 4th division engine in blitz, I do not know the trick behind it, but its true.Michael Sherwin wrote:All joking aside--thats hard for me to do! Here are the results of the first and last test of Romi vs Homer at this time limit and probably any time limit.Tony Thomas wrote:Michael, may be you should use Homer as Romi's blitz opponent from now on.

Why:
1) Homer is not good at this time control of 1+1 and => it is pointless.
2) I have no previous version history and I do not want to backtrack with the last dozen Romi betas to get it.
3) No time to do the same at longer time limits
4) I just do not know what doing better against Homer really means for Romi.
5) The author of Homer may take it personally and start a war with me!![]()
(dang, I just can't help it--bad me!
)
However, if anyone has enough experiance with Homer at this time limit and would like to interpret the above results, I am all ears!
