I Upgraded my memory from 32 MB to 128 MB for the Celeron 433 Mhz. I'm still
using the hashtable size of 6 MB and the endgame tablebase cache 4 MB. I also
used the nbook.bin dated 3/21/02 for SJeng and allowed CTP14.9 to use its book.
I decided to play this game with the endgame TB for SJeng 12.11, but the game
never reached the endstage.
2. What is Sjeng's status ?
It has successfully beaten players rated over 2500 points, including several
titled GM's and IM's. One version of Sjeng even attained the first place in the
crazyhouse players list on the Internet Chess Club (ICC), and the first place on
the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS). Its crazyhouse rating currently
fluctuates around 2300 points.
Sjeng is probably a bit weaker in bughouse than it is in crazyhouse. Most
Sjeng's on the FICS have a rating of about 2000 points in bughouse, with a top
of over 2200 points.
For standard chess, Sjeng's rating is probably about 2400 ELO. In suicide and
losers chess Sjeng beats all but the very best humans, and will beat
non-specialized programs easily.
