Go up one level in this thread



some advantage for one or another chess program in the game is natural.We can't
avoid that.For example factor opening book,some openings give advantage for one
chess programs and some for another , factor time same, ponder off or on
same,hash , table, GUI,....and who can know all that.
I'm make this tournament in this condition, probability some chess program have
advantage , but I really don't know is it The King or Junior 8 .
Condition can't been sterile and absolute identical.
If you can organize the tournament with same chess programes as I with ponder
on,
and I bet that you organize several tournament in the "same and fair" condition,
you will receive different result. Which is real ?
