Hello Chess Friends,
As usually, I'm very pleased to announce that,I managed to organize another exciting Duel,But this time under more optimal conditions:Blitz, MP, Ponder ON...
Some quick notes about the played participants: Both Top engines are Winners of recent tourneys: LI / LII And it seems not bad idea to be in battle each other, right?
Yes...SF-PB wins again..!! Congrats to Skynet and SF team!I congratulate OrgZ too! No One can be always Number One!Because any one may go down, but this is also true that asMost important achievement is to get back up again, right?
On the other hand,Once more we noticed that Skynet's SF-PB engine is veryStrong, powerful.. fully deserves to be called 'Born to Win'!Meanwhile, (for anyone missed) according to overall stats:SF-PB has many records as Number One..that means a lot!Of course, as same words are going for OrgZ's engines too!
Be aware of that too,In Duel matches: Champions titles are not given, as reasons:Due to small contests (only 2 players, small number of games),Anyhow I think these kind of Duels are worth to be organized,Otherwise, if all tours were same, chess would not be boring?Sure not good idea to run only Duels, because if running often:It's not a very effective way to test all other Top chess engines,But no doubt via Ratings (many players + games) provide much More useful info about determining who is best, sure I respect Other Testers as well, but not all of us have similar hardware, Much free time etc. Btw, is that all enough ? not of course.. )
What I can say more, Current Duel's database seems to be really not bad in quality!Besides, there are not so many games out... I mean playedUnder similar cond. such as on same, fast CPU machine etc.But I admit too that the current draw percentage is high (95%),As reasons: played MP, Blitz, Ponder ON..actually you know, There are some ways to reduce the draws, e.g switching toMuch weaker openings, but just in case it's as lottery,mystery..To see which one is stronger e.g in 300 games (per player), Other reasonable alternatives are e.g we have to use 1 Core, Bullet, Ponder OFF..or playing vs weaker opponents, then The Draws are expecting to go down as well...or switching toDirectly to old, slow hardwares..then we'll see less Draws too
Ok...too many comments ) and here are the Duel's results:
1 SF-PB 120624 +10/-4/=286 51.00% 153.0/3002 C-Dragon v3.0 +4/-10/=286 49.00% 147.0/300
