I played 100 games with Crafty 16.5 vs Crafty 16.5 with all 3/4 man tablebases and a few 5 man tablebases in an attempt to determine how much help the tablebases are. Has anyone else done this and if so, what was the result? The final score was Crafty w/tb +32 =38 -30 or 51 to 49. The first 50 games were very different from the second 50 games even though the match was uninterrupted for the 100 games. First 50 Crafty w/tb +21 =15 -14 Second 50 " " +11 =23 -16 It looks like two different programs. Just shows that even 50 games is not a large enough sample to prove anything. I still don't know what the ELO gain is from tablebases ! I'm planning on a couple hundred more games later this week. If anyone else has done this (Bob?) please post your results. Jim Walker P.S. These were only Game/5 minutes.
