Hi all !
I just continued with my series of Fruit 2.1 tuning tests at 180+1 (3minutes + 1
sec per move) blitz rate.
This time I added Fruit 2.1 (default setting) playing with Dan Corbit's book for
an actual grand total of 1120 games played.
Results :
- a strong trend according which Dan's opening book is better than my "MLCB4003"
and "Nag09" ones by +- 25 Elo points.
(congrats, Dan!)
- a confirmation of the slight superiority of my "ML02" UCI parameters over
Fruit's default parameters by +- 29 Elo points.
Next step is evident :
Fruit 2.1 + ML02 params + Dan's book against the field !
I also intend to add other engines : Gandalf 6.0 and ProDeo 1.1 will soon be
included.
