CEGT - rating lists December 23rd 2007

[Werner]

Hi all ,

our new rating lists are online and can be found under the attached links.

40 / 120:
Our 40/120 list was not updated this week doe to internet problems. Some finished matches can be found later in our forum: http://husvankempen.de/nunn/phpBB2/view ... cb94fc0fec. We hope we soon can upload the games and make a separate update.

40 / 20:
This week we added more than 3000 games with 50 different engines to our list. Mainly we made games with engines which had not enough games for a sure rating. See more in our list "Games of the week". In total our 40/20 list is based now on 209.298 games!

New engines:
The new Arasan 10.1 was tested in the 64bit-version on 2CPUs. After 588 games the rating is 2480 and we do not see a progress to version 10.0:

Code: Select all

293 Arasan 10.0 x64 2CPU 2502 +-26 
311 Arasan 10.1 x64 2CPU 2480 +-23 

With Hamsters 0.6 w32 we have a start rating of 2598 after 148 games. This is much stronger as for the older version in our list - but both engines do not have enough games yet.

Code: Select all

223 Hamsters 0.6 w32 2598 
383 Hamsters 0.0.6 2217

Updated engines:

Shredder 8 made 221 games this week and did stabilize his rating. Now we are sure, this version is stronger than Shredder 9.1.

We now have 2 Crafty versions with more than 300 games. The version 21.6 is still not the strongest version in our list:

Code: Select all

158 Crafty Cito 1.4.3 x64 2CPU 2672 113 games
159 Crafty Cito 1.4.2 x64 2CPU 2670 330 games
185 Crafty 21.6 x64 2CPU 2643 332 games

Romichess is another example where engine versions changed places after more games:

Code: Select all

354 RomiChessNG5 w32 2391 
360 RomiChess OW2aLD X64 
376 RomiChessX64P3i 2310

Now we are waiting for the announced update.

40 / 4:
Our blitz list was not updated this week. New results with Glaurung 2.01 x64 2CPU and another 6 new engines can be found in our forum:

A big „Thank you“ to all testers as usual!
And of course I wish all testers and all computer chess fans a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Hi Werner,
thanks for testing Hamsters! I am very happy with the result so far, hope it holds up!

P.S. Also the look back to version 0.0.6 is nice... those little pests have come a long way since then!

Good to see that the newer version of Romichess is indeed on the top. I havent noticed much strength changes after NG5, Michael is rather unpredictable. I am waiting for the day he releases the new Rewrite.

pests? PESTS? How dare you call those sweet, adorable, lovable little critters, pests.

Now I know why they like spending so much time over here!

How to answer this? I'll flip a coin!

...

Nothing is going right for me at the moment. My stepfather just died. My mom's dementia has gotten markedly worse in the last few weeks and needs constant supervision. The sources for my program are all confused. Etc, etc, etc.

...

Unpredictable is sounding, at the moment, like a slight understatement.

...

However, some test that I am running right now are not looking too bad!

You come out with an improvement when I least expect it. There for you are unpredictable. Musty Killy sommy Hamsterry. Or should I speak in another lingo? Mustka Killka Sommka Hamsterika?

Romi only 'play killed' Hamsters before. Like playing cowboys and indians. However, the hamsters it seems are tired of being the indians. Besides, they have a new game that they want to play--huge city devouring monsters that eat hot little brunette chicks!
