[pichy]

The Movei00_8_403 with progress 10 10 10 Personality and Movei00_8_418 with the standard progress personality setup for comparison.

The Movei00_8_403 with progress 10 10 10 Personality and Movei00_8_418 with the standard progress personality setup for comparison.

Here is the most strange game where Alaric 704 resigned against Movei with only a King and Bishop, the game should had been a draw, this is the final position

PS: White should have NOT resigned against Black King and Bishop, Black can NOT mate, only win on time.

[Uri Blass]

My testing so far suggest that 403 progress 10 10 10 may be better than 418 progress 10 10 10 but it is possible that 403 was simply lucky.

403 progress 10 10 10 was the only program that could beat fruit2.0 in 100 game match 51-49 in 5 minutes/40 moves.

418 progress 10 10 10 will probably lose because after 62 games the result is 32.5-29.5 for fruit2.0

result of 403 progress 10 10 10(in the match that it won 51-49) after the same number of games was 32.5-29.5 for movei

Of course it proves nothing and this difference may be a statistical error.

[Peter Fendrich]

Thank you for this position!

You should turn off resign in Alaric.ini
The resign function is buggy and will resign in some cases where there is a dead draw.

This was a very close result, Fruit 2.0 was able to catch up to Movei 8_403 in the last 12 games

I have done several testings with different progresses, and finally after more than 500 games at time control of 5/1 the best result are with progress 8 8 8 which is turning better results than with progress 10 10 10

You may be correct

I did not test 8 8 8

I am going to test 8 8 8 to see if it performs better than 10 10 10.

result of 10 10 10 against other engines are the following:

5 minutes/40 moves:beating fruit2.0 51-49
3 minutes/40 moves FRC:losing against glaurung1.2.1 32-18

Sorry Uri, but the progress the performed the best was NOT 8 8 8 that was the previous progress that I tested before progress 11 11 11. Here is the configuration Settings for Movei_changes403:


progress 11 11 11 0
loghash 20 loghasheval 21

[Uri Blass]

You may be correct.
I stopped the match of glaurung against progress 8 8 8 after glaurung was leading 17.5-6.5(only 27% for movei 8 8 8 when movei 10 10 10 achieved 36% after 50 games against glaurung)

unfortunately I limited the progress parameter to 10 in the uci options
because I did not believe that big values are going to work.

I expect the difference between 11 and 10 to be small.
If you want to get a big change(big improvement or big reduction in playing strength) then you may try 20 10 10 or 20 20 20.

note that I never tried it.

Uri you are correct to say that it proves nothing since my result is very bad for movei 403 progress 10 10 10 against Fruit 2.0

Uri

result of 10 10 10 against other engines are the following:

5 minutes/40 moves:beating fruit2.0 51-49


I just stoped a match at game 60 with progress 10 10 10 since movei403 was losing to fruit, it won't be necessary to continue the match since I don't think that movei403 will make a huge comeback.
