I've run numerous tests with several versions of NoonianChess vs 8 sparring
partners at G/10 and G/90. Below I show tables summarizing the results.
<pre>
NoonianChess version Time Control Score Total Games Percent won
3.4.20030118 G/90 8 28 28.57%
3.4.20030118 G/10 17 32 53.12%
3.6e2 G/90 14 42 33.33%
3.6g G/90 7 42 16.67%
3.6e2 G/10 19.5 32 60.94%
3.6g G/10 11.5 32 35.94%
3.5 G/90 11.5 28 41.07%
3.5 G/10 13 32 40.63%
</pre>
The machines for G/90 were AMD 1.3Ghz while the machines for G/10 were
AMD 1.6 GHz. The 8 sparring partners were consistent across all runs. Also,
they were 8 different winboard engines that I picked up off the net instead
of different versions of NoonianChess.
While version 3.5 did perform consistently. The other versions did not.
Also, we see that 3.6e2 and 3.6g both performed worse at G/90 than G/10.
I think this shows that some programs (atleast 1) doesn't perform similarly
at disparate time controls. Why is this so? Maybe those that claim there is no
difference across time controls could say.
Personally, I think the problem is in my use of extensions.
So, what say you Christophe??
