Some of you will remember that I posted the results of my personality testing a couple of weeks ago, but I had not tested the default setting. I've now run the tests with the default to provide a baseline. And it is very interesting. All personalities are much stronger than the default, and the very best ones are STAGGERINGLY better My testing was as follows: Deep Fritz 8 GUI 40 moves in 40 min repeating, 256MB Hash Dual Athlon MP2800+ with ponder on 3-4-5 men EGTB All engines using 2004 Powerbook no learning Each CM9000 personality played 40 games against each of: Deep Shredder 8 Deep Fritz 8 Deep Junior 8 Chess Tiger 15 Hiarcs 9 Ruffian 2.1.0 Gandalf 6.0 That is 280 games for each personality, and 2,520 games in total. The aggregate scores out of 280, and rankings, were: 144.0 - Slayer 141.5 - Assassin 139.0 - R1 139.0 - Slayer 2b 136.5 - T05 136.0 - Judge II 135.0 - Minotaur 2 130.0 - Alliance 107.5 - Default Default's total score of 107.5 compares to 144 for Slayer. That is a massive 34% improvement !! Looking at it another way, 107.5/280 = 38% and 144/280 = 51%, so a 13% improvement in the ratio. Staggering. Slayer will now be carried across to my CM10th testing, which is on a similar basis to this. CM10th default will also be tested to provide a baseline in those tests.
