Hello born2rade,

I understand this correctly?
I count 28 engines !

they want to leave any motor play 40 times against each other?
Time Control= 5+0 Games ?

holy :sm74:

This Tournament will never end bigsmile

when their tour is to end, we have winter again :sm96:

wish you good luck and hold out much !

No i'm doing this bracket style. Not like the usual tournament format that is used in the GUI :).

Just one thing, it's not a critic but : Spark is a evolution of Bright. May be a different programm, with another programmer, could take its place?
Anyway, thanks for your experience.
:)

4 Matches are completed in round 2. Deep Junior 12.5 Replaced Deep Hiarcs 13.2 because it was not working correctly for some weird reason :P.

Rybka 4 vs Stockfish should be good. They will be using all 8 threads since i have HT @ 4ghz stable :). Gotta Love Water Cooling :).

on Mon Apr 25, 2011 2:31 am by · on Mon Apr 25, 2011 2:31 am by

Round 3 matches So Far:

Critter 1.01
Deep Rybka 4.1

Fire 1.3.1
Naum 4.2

Ivanhoe-G 9.47c
Houdini 1.5a

Round 2 Match:

Rybka 4
Stockfish 2.0.1

Winner of This 2nd Round Match Gets A Bye To Face The Winner of Ivanhoe or Houdini.

*Note To Everyone* I do use all 8 Threads on these engines if the options allow me otherwise the engine will use 4 CPU.
