Go up one level in this thread


Great job again!

I agree that computer engine-engine games should not be mixed with human games.
How about a similar high quality collection up of recent computer engine-engine
games? SSDF, WBEC, and others publish their games. But the problem is filtering
out games that are not GM level. I also don't like to see games where both
engines are using the same book, which is why I don't care for SSDF. Sometimes
when I run a game in the Fritz gui using the same book, the game is finished
before the engines leave the book! (Like in a 20 move draw.)

A word on the meaning of "twin" and "duplicate". Imho, they are not the same. A
twin involves the same players. A duplicate can be a twin but it can also be 2
different players who play the same moves. Scid can remove extra twins, but not
extra duplicates with different players in each game. However pgn-extract can
remove all extra duplicates/twins.
