Stars Only-3b (at tournament time control, Ktulu 4.1 is added)
===============================================================
I continue to run a tournament (actually 10-game matches) named 'Stars
Only' for the very best free engines at 7-hour tournament time control.
Time control: 40/7200:20/3600:1800
Celeron 2.6GHZ 128MB; hash settings is up to 38MB in sum for each engine;
resign is set to 6; few 5-men Nalimov's TBs.
Arena is used to arrange the event.
The last addition is Ktulu 4.1
Here are the match results of Ktulu 4.1
-----------------------------------------
vs Ruffian 1.0.1 5.0:5.0
vs Chinito 3.25 5.0:5.0
vs SOS.3 for Arena 4.5:5.5
vs Crafty 16.19 6.0:4.0
vs Chinito 3.1 7.0:3.0
vs SOS 11.99 5.0:5.0
They are very good! Ktulu is number 2 now.
Also it is apparent that Ktulu has problems playing vs SOS'es ie both
SOS'es are "unpleasant" opponents for it.
