Subject: Shredder 8 vs. Fritz 8 (8.0.0.23) Blitz 3 0, 200 game test

Author: Dmitri

Date: 07:36:47 01/30/04


Shredder 8   100.5/200   68 won 67 lost 65 drawn
Fritz 8       99.5/200   67 won 68 lost 65 drawn

So a difference of only +1 elo!

Conditions: P4 2.4Ghz, 1 gig ram machine. 3/0 time control, 32 Mb hash, own
books, write protected, learning off, 3-4-5 tbs on, versions of engines see
title :)

Comments: I was planning to run a 1000 game blitz test, but now changed my mind.
The result is very close and there is absolutely no real difference between the
two. Out of the games I observed the quality as expected is bad some moves were
just silly. In about half the drawn positions one side had a large plus but
could not convert it, usually Shredder. In more then 25% of won games the actual
position was drawn, but with 5 sec left one side blundered and lost, also
usually Shredder.

I am running a game in 60min test at the same time and in that test Shredder 8
just like in Kurt's 5movebook tournament is winning with a >70% score (so far 67
games played). You can draw your own conclusions.
