Subject: Finals in my Winboard Knockout

Author: Jason Williamson

Date: 20:28:39 04/08/00


how about I call it:  Van-April CCT

Results so far:

Format 10 Game Match Knockout Event with the time control of 20 minutes + 5
seconds.

Run on a dual Celeron 400/128 megs of ram.  32 Megs of hash each.  Ponder on.

Round of 16

1:	Comet (Version B18) 2509			9.5
9:	GnuChess (Winboard Version 4) 2315		0.5

I was surprised at this result.  I had expected more of a fight from this
grandpa of chess engines.

2:	The Crazy Bishop (Version 045) 2648	        9.5
10:	Lamb Chop UNR				        0.5

Again, from the stories I had heard, I expected more of a fight from Lamb Chop.
The result is more of a testament to the strength of TCB.

3:	Little Goliath 2000(Version 2.6) 2552	        6.0
11:	Anmon (Version 5.06) 2494			4.0

Tough match, hard to call.

4:	Crafty (Version 17.10) 2615			6.5
12:	Gromit (Version 3.00) 2459			3.5

Gromit did quite well against the king of amatuer

5:	ExChess (Version 3.11) 2507			2.0
13:	Bringer (Version 1.6) 2343			8.0

6:	La Dame Blanche 2251			        3.0
14:	Inmi (Version 3.03) 2410			7.0

7:	Phalanx (Version 22) 2511			6.0
15:	Sos UNR					        4.0

8:	Ant (Version 4.16) 2399			        1.5
16	Amy (Version 0.7 Corbit) UNR		        8.5

Round of 8

1.	Comet (Version B18-2) 2509			5.5
2.	The Crazy Bishop (Version 045)		        4.5

Hard fought could have gone ethier way.

3.  Little Goliath 2000 (Version 2.6) 2552	        5.5
4.  Crafty (Version 17.10)				4.5

Same as the above match, this could easily hasve ended the other way.

13. Bringer (Version 1.6) 2343			        7.0
14. Inmi (Version 3.03) 2410			        3.0

Not much doubt here.

7.  Phalanx (Version 22) 2511			        3.5
16. Amy (Version 0.7 Corbit)			        6.5

Amy surprised here, and now must be a favorite to get to the final.

Round of 4

1.   Comet (version B18-2) 2509			        4.0
3.   Little Goliath 2000 (Version 2.6) 2552	        6.0

What a come back!  Little Goliath was down 4-2 at one point, and managed to pop
off 4 straight victories, including an extra game with black due to operator
error.

13.	 Bringer (Version 1.6) 2343
16.      Amy (Version 0.7 Corbit)

Amy will advance, as she has a 6-1 lead, with only 3 games left.  An awesome
performance by this engine.

FINALS:

3.  Little Goliath 2000 (Version 2.6) 2552
16. Amy (Version 0.7 Corbit)

Ok, whats your predictions people?  I have NO idea how this will go, after
seeing Amy's play against its previous opponents.  (I would have bet on Phalanx
at the least to beat Amy).  But I have to pick one, so I will guess 6-4 LG2000.
Little Goliath HAS knocked off quite a few strong engines this tourney, not the
least being Crafty.
