25.11.1998 EngineLeague/Tournaments We have played welcome engine- tournaments with the new fritz5.32 and nimzo99 engines. Conditions: - K6-II-300, 16-20MB HT - 10 min./game - one book for all: general-tree of fritz5.32 (has no specialisation for one engine) - nodes per seconds (middle game/late middle game): 120.000-150.000/ 170.000 - F5-Autoplayer (without permanent brain) The range of nodes per second I have seen (not exactly) Typical (Middlegame) Top (late middlegame) Nimzo99: 220.000-270.000 300.000 Crafty: 120.000-150.000 170.000 Junior46 140.000-200.000 250.000 Junior5 230.000-300.000 370.000 Fritz5.16 240.000-330.000 430.000 Fritz5.32 250.000-350.000 450.000 Hiarcs6 26.000-40.000 50.000 "Nimzo Begrüßungs-Blitz-Turnier" (10m, K6-300, 16MBHT, Nimzo99- Buch, 4 Runden) 1.

Nimzo99 0,5:3,5 1:3 1,5:2,5 2:2 xx 5 40 Partien For the second tournament we changed the book, played two more rounds and add two players: Jun46 and F5.15. In summary 126 games, so this result will be much more reliable. "Nimzo99/Fritz5.32- Begrüßungs-Blitz-Turnier" (10m, K6-300, 20MBHT,General-Buch, 6 Runden) (1. Fritz-Engines Liga) 1. Fritz5.32 24,5 /36 412 2. Junior5 24,5 389 3. Hiarcs6 2:4 19,0 4. Fritz5.16 16,5 5. Junior45 16,0 6. Nimzo99 14,5 7. Crafty15.18 11,0 Short remarks (blitz!): the new Junior and Fritz5.32-Engines are much better than the rest of the field. Fritz5.16 had a very bad start, after two rounds he was at the last place. Nimzo will compete with the older engines, against the newer ones he has no chance (blitz!). In this tournament he has no luck and does not win a direct competition. Crafty has contact and stopped Fritz5.32 from winning this event! Both tournaments together he wins against Nimzo!! All tournaments (there are a lot more) are played automatically by Fritz5.32. It is a fantastic new function which allows to organize you own tournaments (including generating a crosstableau). For the german computerchess magazin CSS we are working out a new Fritz-Liga Concept (Blitz) by using this utility. Also an Engine Masters 1998 with only the best engine of each author. We are just considering, suggestions are welcome (Email below). I think the first six engines will belong to the "1. Fritz-Engine-Liga". During the next days we will play the "2. Fritz-Engine-Liga" with the following engines: 1. Crafty 15.18 (the last of the 1. Liga) 2. Fritz4 3. Crafty 16.01 4. Crafty 14.12 (perhaps) 5. Comet A97 6. Doctor3 7. Exchess 2.51 (the last one plays next time in the 3. Liga) The number of engines will increase next year, so this is only the beginning! More details to the tournaments, games, results you will read in the next issue of CSS (ComputerChess&Games) or as soon as possible on our new german website (www.computerschach.de) which is still under construction (start 1.1.99). With kind regards Christian Liebert, Hamburg/GER 104047,66@compuserve.com
