Go up one level in this thread
this one is looking "gold"... (meaning it will be the released version) .... -----------------Crafty 19.09 SE----------------- Crafty 19.09 SE - Ruffian_105 : 17.5/32 12-9-11 ====1=1=00010=010=0011=1111011== 55% +35 -----------------Ruffian_105----------------- Ruffian_105 - Crafty 19.09 SE : 14.5/32 9-12-11 ====0=0=11101=101=1100=0000100== 45% -35 68 games to go .... ............................... what will be new in Crafty 19.09 SE 1. original Crafty 19.09 code (of course) 2. With my SE (Specail Edition) modifications: including 40 pre-defined personalities -- 4 new GM personalities: Steintz Euwe Smyslov Spasski Crafty SE now includes all World Champions from Steintz to Fischer as personalities. 4 new fun personalities - 1500 1650 1800 2000 as their names suggests, there personalities are identfied by the estimated rating level. this version a 20% speedup in tacital positions -- the regular "bench" command will be about the same or maybe 0.5% slower - but for the WAC 300 test - this runs 20% faster on my machine. Naturally , your mileaage may vary. This version is compiled with the Intel ver 8 complie under MVC6++. The test to see the speedup is to use these settings: sd=8 st 9999999 using no crafty.rc file or any other settings (those setting ensure that you the total nodes searched is the same) then run the test command on wac.epd for me it is : test d:\crafty\tests\wac.epd 2 then compare this exectuable results to any other crafty 19.09 .... other options still available are : arena=on (for the arena interface as UCI engine SE=on (turns on my special SE code that is enabled with all GM personalities X-factor=on ( experimental code that does less extensions, not sure if it helps) dm=on (when using sd=x, this will allow crafty to respond in less insantaneous fashion -- primarlily used in the fun personalities - but you can use on it your own too if you use sd) intensity=xxxx (1 through 10000). another way to weaken Crafty -- 10000 is full stength , 100 = 1% strength. On today's fast machines - even a 1% powered crafty plays over 2000). On my machine, if takethe setting down to about the 30-50 range -- (0.3 to 0.5% -- I have a chance to beat Crafty.)
