I thought it might be interesting to try a tournament using the default CM10 Grandmaster personalities. So I have converted them all to Chessbase and set them up on my two dedicated chess PCs. I chose the best 48 and split them into 6 groups with each playing seven games . The top 2 of each group will then go forward to the playoffs against each other and the default King 3.3 program. I am also going to include one of Graham Bank`s personalies “Behemoth”. This will make a total off 14 personalities playing 13 games each. Time controls are all at Game in 90mins + 30secs per move. PCs specs are 2xAMD500 with 384MB ram, 128MB Hash. The PCs are connected together using a serial cable. I have completed all of the 6 rounds (168 games) in the last few months and the winners of each round are listed below. Group A winners Spassky (W3D4L0) 5 Points Smyslov (W4D2L1) 5 Points Group B winners Keres (W4D3L0) 5.5 Points Timman (W3D2L2) 4 Points (best loser) Group C winners Polgar (W5D2L2) 6 Points Ivanchuk(W4D2L1) 5 Points Group D winners Karpov (W4D3L0) 5.5 Points Anand (W2D4L1) 4 Points (best loser in play off) Group E winners Reshevshy(W2D5L0) 4.5 Points Korchnoi(W1D6L0) 4 Points (Draw expert!) Group F winners Najdorf (W3D3L1) 4.5 Points Alekhine(W4D1L2) 4.5 Points Round 1 Results: Game in 90+30 White Black Result Smyslov V CM10 Default 1-0 (Kasparov??)
