Hi to all !

Because of Eds remarks about my former experiment
(i cannot find the ccc-link now, the results can be seen on
www.pcschach.de) i've done it once more, this time with
40moves/8min. + 40/8 + 40/8... and 80 startpositions (write protect)
= 160 games per match.
Both, ruffian and list, don't produce learnfiles.
64MB HTs, 4erTBs, ponder=off

1. Match ruffian 2.1.0 vs list 5.12
75.0 - 85.0 (50-50-60)

After that the procedure was always the same:
i moved the databasefiles onto a floppydisk and delete
them on the harddiskdrive.
Then i shutdown the machine and wait for exact 5 minutes.
Afterwards i turned on the machine, wait until the pc was
ready, doubleklick the CB-Symbol (first engine which were
loaded on the start were always crafty 19.13).
Now the tournament with the two engine has been started,
ruffian as fist engine, list as the second.

repetition # 1
78.5 - 81.5 (46-65-49)
no great difference in the final result but look at
the changes in the win-draw-lost statistics !

...same procedure...

repetition  # 2
83.5 - 76.5 (52-63-45)
now the match result has turned !!

For me it looks like a lottery.
Or is the choosen timecontrol sill to low ?

at the moment the third and last repetition is running

Best G.S.
