Dedicated Chess Computer Tourney
 
1 Anhang/Anhänge
Hello fellow Schachcomputer enthusiasts!

Over the past few months I have been testing a few CCs in an all play all tourney.

Initially it was going to be a small tournament for under 2000elo dedicated chess computers, but I decided to expand it a bit and try some stronger units as well.

So far we have 28 computers playing each other twice at game in 30 mins. The games are all played using the excellent CB-Emulator by Franz Huber. The ratings are from Eric Hallsworth superb Selective Search magazine issue 160 (it is the only one I have a hard copy of).

I have attached the PGN file to this post for you to peruse. I was surprised at the top candidate.

Hi Clive
Interesting tournament. :) Surprising to see the Tasc R30 2.23 as winner with 43.5/54 and 2 points ahead of all other 27 computers.
Kind regards
Kurt

Hi Kurt,

Yes, it surprised me too. I thought that the Tasc Gideon or the London would lead. However the London is too fond of draws!

Hello Clive,

You've put together a fantastic tournament with some really powerful devices. Well done! I took the liberty of creating a tournament table for this wonderful event.

Hello Clive,

Great tournament!
I only regret that apart from the Modena there is no other Frans Morsch computer involved...

Best regards,

Hello Clive,

I find the clear lead of the Mephisto Nigel Short and Mephisto Milano over the Mephisto Polgar remarkable.

Kind regards,
Egbert

Hi Paul,

Yes, it was the only emulation available at the time. However I now see the GK2100 is available with the latest emulations. So watch this space!

Best regards

Clive

PS: If only the Mephisto Atlanta was available...

Hi Egbert,

Agreed. They are all close in rating but the Polgar seemed to struggle at this time control.

Hello Clive,

That is entirely possible.

Re: Dedicated Chess Computer Tourney
 
I was wondering which unit to test next, and as Paulwise3 has mentioned there is a poor showing for Frans Morsch.

Now, I no longer own a Atlanta or Milano Pro which would put in a good showing. So I have opted to use the CB-Emu GK2100 but I have increased the MHz to 32 via the options and I have set it to run Game in 90 rather than 30. I have increased the speed by 300% to bring it in line with its opponents. I have tested this and it works well as long as you don't try and press the info button while it is running.

So we have a GK2100 at a simulated 96MHz!

First opponent is Modena. So it is Morsch v Morsch.

Hello Clive,
not sure I understand correctly:

Zitat von Major Chaos (Beitrag 135486)
I have opted to use the CB-Emu GK2100 but I have increased the MHz to 32 via the options and I have set it to run Game in 90 rather than 30.

OK, at this stage you have a 32Mhz GK2100; that's about 3 times the original speed but the clock runs as well 3 times faster. Therefore you need to grant 90 minutes per game level, otherwise the device would target 10 actual minutes for its game.

I have increased the speed by 300% to bring it in line with its opponents. I have tested this and it works well as long as you don't try and press the info button while it is running.

So we have a GK2100 at a simulated 96MHz!

Here I am a bit puzzled.
- If all devices are as well running at 300% emulator speed, it simply decreases the duration of the tournament; games should complete in about 10 minutes instead of 30. Perfectly fine, as long as all devices comply with this acceleration. The GK2100' performance is still the 32Mhz device' one. It is just "time compression" at your benefit. There is no "96Mhz" GK2100 involved. It still is a 32Mhz GK2100 playing in a fast forward view mode.
- If only the GK2100 benefits from 300% emulator speed, then you need to increase again the level setting, from 90 minutes to 270 per game, that's 4.5 hours, in order to achieve the moves a 96Mhz GK2100 would provide. Such a level isn't available.
Therefore to my understanding, only the first statement applies, and your games headers should state "Saitek GK2100 32Mhz", should'nt they?

All the best,
Eric

Re: Dedicated Chess Computer Tourney
 
Hi Eric,

Okay, let me explain.

First off...

The GK2100 normally runs at 20MHz. With the CB-Emu you can increase this to 32MHz.

Then using the Arena GUI I can set say the Modena to 'Game in 30' running at normal time ie 100%.

Then I set the GK2100 to Game in 90 mins but speed up the emulation to 300%. Therefore it will play all its moves in 30 mins.

When you watch the emulations the Modena is playing normally but the GK display flashes 3x faster.


The Arena GUI is set to record the games at 30min +6 sec to allow for the moves to be played.

Hope this makes sense!

Best regards

Clive

I was wondering which unit to test next, and as Paulwise3 has mentioned there is a poor showing for Frans Morsch.

Now, I no longer own a Atlanta or Milano Pro which would put in a good showing. So I have opted to use the CB-Emu GK2100 but I have increased the MHz to 32 via the options and I have set it to run Game in 90 rather than 30. I have increased the speed by 300% to bring it in line with its opponents. I have tested this and it works well as long as you don't try and press the info button while it is running.

So we have a GK2100 at a simulated 96MHz!

Hi Clive,

Here you are saying you have a GK2100 at 96 MHz. That is what Tibono is asking about.

Best regards, Paul

Re: Dedicated Chess Computer Tourney
 
Hi Paul,

Tibono is correct in that the GK2100 is running at 32MHz. However the 3x increase is because I am running the GK 3x faster in time compared with the other machines. Ie it is running game in 90 in 30 mins where as the other machines are running game in 30 in 30 mins.

I Think Tibono thought I was speeding all the machines up 3 times which of course would not make any difference.

Best regards

Clive

So the Spracklen team are up this time. GK starts with a Bird opening.
Again Black is starting to look good but the GK takes over. I must admit the GK does play exciting chess!

Hi Paul,

Tibono is correct in that the GK2100 is running at 32MHz. However the 3x increase is because I am running the GK 3x faster in time compared with the other machines. Ie it is running game in 90 in 30 mins where as the other machines are running game in 30 in 30 mins.

I Think Tibono thought I was speeding all the machines up 3 times which of course would not make any difference.

Best regards

Clive

Hi Clive,

I now seem (!?) to understand what you mean. But in my opinion we are still talking about a GK2100 32 MHz. But because it's clock now runs 3 times faster, you have to set the level at game in 90 minutes, which results in game in 30 minutes in real time. But it still runs at 32 MHz.
We also have the Saitek Centurion, a clone of the GK2100. I have one which is tuned to 40 MHz. So it computes 4 times faster then the original. Also it's clock runs 4 times faster, so to simulate level 30 seconds per move I have to set the level at 2 minutes per move. Then it computes 30 seconds per move average. This is not an extra 4 times faster, but only to compensate for the clock running too fast!
Remember that if you set the level of your 32 MHz GK2100 to game in 30 minutes, it acts the same as a normal GK2100, it will play the same moves as a normal GK2100, but plays it's move at 10 seconds average. So no deeper or better play at all.
So in my opinion (and I think of most of us) you should call it just a 32 MHz GK2100.

Best regards,
Paul
