Subject: Chess duel update - Phase 2

Author: GuyHaworth

In phase 2, when all engine/hardware combinations play each other for a second
time:

(Round 5):  Shredder/Intel beat Fritz/AMD by winning the last 2 of 71 games!

  if that was a 'timed run for the line', it's sophisticated match-play!
  the site now has a neat graph facility to show the progress of a match
    it also gives the White/Black breakdown of results
  Fritz/AMD clearly had the best of the 1st half but Shredder came back
  I am tempted to ask what 'learning' facilities are included in the engines

(Round 6):  Shredder/AMD is beating Fritz/AMD 19-9 with 27 draws

  certainly looks like somebody tweaked something;  what are the rules here?
  Shredder won the first 5 games but has lost the last three

I don't see any detail about the set-up of the chess engines or hardware.


The engines appear to be playing 3-5-man endgames DTC- rather than
DTM-optimally, i.e. minimaxing Depth-to-Conversion rather than Depth-to-Mate.

Maybe someone modified Eugene's code to create Nalimov-compatible DTC EGTs!

Anyone got any other insights into this interesting duel?  My German is
unfortunately about zero.
