Subject: CM10th extensive testing - Progress report

Author: Ray Banks

Well guys, I've quietly been running CM10th testing the last few months. Time
now to reveal details to date:

Chessbase Shredder 9 GUI
40 moves in 40 min repeating, 256MB Hash
Dual Athlon MP2000+ with ponder on (3 boxes)
3-4-5 men EGTB
no learning

Each CM10th personality plays 40 games against each of:

Shredder 9
Fritz 8 Bilbao
Junior 9
Aristarch 4.50
Hiarcs 9
Ruffian 2.1.0
Gandalf 6.0

The above are using their own books. CM10th uses the CM10th book converted to
Chessbase format.

That is 280 games for each personality. CM10th default was tested to provide a
baseline, and CM9000 Slayer was also included as that was the top personality in
my CM9000 testing.

Results to date:

Firstly the "baselines":

119.5 / 280.0 CM10th Default
124.5 / 280.0 CM9000 Slayer

Then to date:

137.5 Behemoth
137.0 Milan 2.3
136.0 Berean 5.53
129.5 Emporer
128.0 Yoda 2.7
126.5 D1 Meandros
123.5 Cobra

So - all personalities are stronger than the strongest CM9000 personality I
tested which was Slayer. The top group are also significantly better than Cm10th
default.

Currently testing Schumacher, then Scorpion and SoFar. After that I'm not sure,
will consult with Graham !

All this activity explains why you haven't seen any tournments from me for a
while :-)
