In a single game, yes. In a long match, there is no doubt that F6 would win by a clear margin. > If Gothmog managed to score 50% against >>the old Fritz 3, I would be pleasantly surprised. > >I will also be surprised if it scores only 50% against Fritz3. >I expect it to do better. When I think about it, it is possible that the result against F3 would depend to a great extent on the hardware used. F3 is an assembly language program optimized for old Pentium and 486 processors, and it is possible that it performs very badly on modern hardware. But if you run both engines on a Pentium 90MHz, I would be really surprised to see Gothmog win. >>There are at least a couple of dozen amateur engines which are clearly >>stronger than Gothmog. > >I do not think so. >There are many engines at similiar strength. >some may be slightly stronger than gothmog but based on the results that I see >no amateur engine is clearly stronger than Gothmog. It depends on your definition of "clearly". You are right that they are sufficiently close that a considerable number of games is needed in order to make statistically significant conclusions. > And Yace is one of them, despite your match result >>between Gothmog and Yace. > >No > >I read about other tournaments when gothmog scored better than Yace. Some tournaments, yes. The engines are close enough that everything is possible in short matches and tournaments. Tord
