But i am less convinced than ever regarding the eventual overall superiority of Columbus Egg over shredder default settings. Presenting only a few games against Fruit default configuration gives only a partial evaluation. See what happened in my recent games (all involve Fruit WCC'2005) Both playing with the same neutral book, I had a first match between S9CE and Fruit default config. Result was +11 =10 -9 for Fruit (53.3%). I then adapted fruit's UCI parameters to build an anti-Sandro config. This Fruit anti-Sandro won +14 =7 -9 against S9 columbus egg (58.3%). But this anti-sandro config was much worse against shredder 9 default config and also against other opponents. And the same was true for Sandro's config against other opponents (among them : CM10 Berean, Ktulu 7a, Ruffian 210, Ruffian 105, Spike 1.0a, SlowChess blitz WV2) After 850 games I have : Shredder 9 : 2718 +/- 41 Fruit WCCC : 2717 +/- 42 Fruit WCCC anti-CE : 2703 +/- 59 Shredder Columbus Egg : 2674 +/- 58 So my results do not confirm yours in my testing conditions (same book for all and short timing). Have a look at CEGT tests tomorrow : you will have a big surprise at intermediate time controls ... Regards Marc
