Hi everyone,
After organizing a differant kind of match, HLCC (High Level
Computer Chess), I am thinking of organizing another differant kind of
tournament. Naming it ECC (Extreme Computer Chess!) ;)
Well here is the thought process behind the games.
There will be a set of 1000s of games between chess programs at reasonable time
control. The engines will be very selective, only the top 10 or top 5 or
inbetween.
Ussually I see same type of rating list from many peoples at differant hardware,
not being sure how much accurate that list is! We ussually see an error margin
big enough to make us think twice.
I have done a similar match before between YACE and gandalf with 2000 games at 5
mintues, but the game wsnt very prefferable because of the time control and it
was played on one processor with ponder=on.
Anyways, here are the topics in which I need your input.
1) What should be the time control? I personally preffer 60mins/game, because we
are talking about a lot of games here (could be 1000 games against just one
opponent).
2) programs to choose.
my prefferance (and considering the fact that I have these programs)
1) Fritz 7
2) Shredder 6
3) Chess tiger 14
4) Junior 7
5) Hiarcs 7
6) Nimzo 8 (well...)
7) crafty (latest version)
8) Yace (latest version)
9) Gandalf 4.32 ( maybe I will get 5.0 soon, but its not much of a differance)
let me know what you think.
any opinion, whether this is a stupid idea or even a differant idea, whatever
comes in mind, something differant than ussual
cheers ;)
