I was trying to give a rough idea of the strength of my engine if anybody wants to download it. As you can see in my statement, I did not affirm anything. Will Gaviota be weaker in equal hardware? most probably. Maybe it is weaker already even with a 4x faster hardware. I just described what I saw as an indication of strength in FICS. I can only affirm that it is weaker than Amyan. That is based on observation of the games. Even though Gaviota scored 1.5/4 was totally outplayed. (BTW, it was a lot of fun talking with the author of Amyan at the same time the engines played, the engines do the dirty work while you enjoy the chat :-) Hope we can kibitz one day, are you operating it?) >A little hint: if you are trying to improve your engine >and want to test your improvements by letting it play >games, be sure to play _enough_. Else you may end up >ditching something that is good or keeping something >that is bad. I'd love to play enough games, but this is just a hobby for me. I will have to economize resources and trust in my observation mostly. Doing a lot of statistics it would be good when I have a strong program (if I ever have one, which I doubt). Now is weak and I can certainly say when it is doing something wrong and why. Besides, It would be very difficult at this point to ditch something good or keep something bad. It has almost nothing :-) Regards, Miguel > >-- >GCP
