Final score
Crafty18.3vs.ChessTiger12.0
2.5 – 7.5
After reading all the messages from my last post I thought it would be
interesting to see if I could make a match more neutral. I used the same opening
book as before but force different openings every time so that learning would
not apply and that no sicilians were played as we already saw what tiger will do
to crafty either side.
The notation is the way it is too show what I changed and or forced. Too those
who missed the last beatings the hardware used 1 cpu, ponder off, cel 433, hash
40 mb. Book CA. 5.1. And no it’s not the best conditions but it’s all I have at
the house :)
A funny thing happened after the match, as I was going though the games by hand
I noticed in one game I set up 1.e4 e5 and then by accident let crafty (which
was black) play again so 1.e4 e5 2…, Nf6 !! was played and the game ended in a
draw ! After finding the error I replayed the game (#10) Tiger won of with ease.
As I mentioned I went through some of these games by hand too see what was
really going on. Was it the book to blame for Crafty’s poor results, was it the
learning feature, was it the hardware, was it me? Too a person in denial any
excuse will do.
In conclusion: After looking at the games as they were being played and after w/
a real chess board. I just think Crafty was outclassed I don’t believe the
Crafty engine is as strong as Tiger 12.0 at 5:00 mins. And personally I would
rather have an engine that can come up with good play in any position than one
that can’t. I still like Crafty but I’m just not scared of it. On the other hand
Tiger 12.0 makes me a bit more nervous.
