I have always been intrigued by the Crafty vs Rebel NPS challenge. Always thought it was a shame that we never got to see an end result. With that said......... I would like to continue the experiment. Crafty of today vs any top commercial program out there. What/Who I am looking for: 1.) Someone who can play at LEAST 25 of these games. I will take Crafty, so I will have the one with the tied up machine. You will only be required to analyze a move for 3:30 minutes, every 8 hours or so. And e-mail the move, and the eval to me. 2.) Someone with up-to-date hardware and software. 1.5Ghz+ only. NEW software only. Fritz 7, Junior 7, Gandalf 5.0, Rebel 4, CT 14.0, GT 2.0, etc. I don't care if it's SMP. And I don't care which program. Match conditions: 1.) New software gets 3:30 minutes a move. No PB. TB's are fine. 2.) DBII hit, on average, 42B nodes in 3:30 minutes. The latest version of Crafty on my computer (Dual AMD 1.6GHz) gets 1.53M nodes a second average (average of 30 positions for 3:30 minutes). Therefore, Crafty will get 7.5 hours a move. (Approx. to the 42B node average.) Neither computer will be able to utilize pondering. If you're interested, e-mail me. If you have any ideas, e-mail me or respond here. Bob, if you could change Crafty to use 64 bit intergers, that would be nice. Cause 7.5 hours is going to roll that node counter over a few thousand times. ;) Ed and Bob, I'd love to hear your feedback. :)
