The Unofficial World Championships Of Computer Programs In International Draughts Blitz 2020

Strange, as you also played (recently) a 158 games match Damage against Kingsrow with DXP.
The result ( 1 min/game):

Damage 15.3 x64 - Kingsrow 1.61 x64 0 wins, 5 losses, 153 draws, 0 unknowns

So I'm the first one to admit that Scan and Kingsrow are stronger, but i don't have a good explanation for the 2 losses today.

Bert, play but with Kingsrow version 1.62 with base DTW. Then you will see the difference between version 1.61 and 1.62.

[BertTuyt]

Krzysztof, the recent version 15.4 plays in a 158 games match against Kingsrow 1.62 8 losses and 150 draws, with settings 2 min/75 moves (in the tournament i participate with the 15.3 version).

So you are right the new Kingsrow version is better , my expectation 15-20 ELO difference with Damage.
But although Scan and Kingsrow are better (and most likely also Sjende Blyn), the 2 losses today (very late in the middle game) are strange....

[BertTuyt]

Krzystof, but in general i have deep respect for the way you organize the tournament.
I'm sure I'm not the only one, so thank you for that !!

Bert

[Wieger Wesselink]

Yes, thanks a lot for your efforts Krzystof! I have watched several games, and things looked very professional. At first the beeping sound was a bit disturbing, but luckily you changed that later.

Regarding round 23 of the Scan - Tornado match - I sincerely apologize for the score 2-0. I just made a mistake in entering the result 1-1. I sincerely apologize to all interested persons.

[Jelle Wiersma]

No problem, but considering the draw in the "Final standings - round 24" Scan should have 1 point less, and Tornado 1 point more.

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

No problem, but considering the draw in the "Final standings - round 24" Scan should have 1 point less, and Tornado 1 point more.

In my opinion everything is well. But I will check again just in case. Everything checked and it's fine. I invite you to tomorrow for the last two rounds.

Jelle, as i struggle to replicate the tournament results with black, could you play a 158-games DXP match with SB against Damage.
If you both want to use 6p DB, then change the 5 for the bb-cache into 1.

bb-cache = 1
bb-size = 6
bb-preload = 6

Maybe with another program (as i normally use KR), some bugs better surface.
There seems to be something wrong with Damage, but could not find some clues so far.

In an older post (in the damage 15.3 threat) i described how to set up such a match.
Thanks for your support

I probably misunderstood your remark and it was a win instead of a draw, then it is ok

Although I don't really see what additional information that would deliver about your bug (Damage already played several matches against Kingsrow, and lost several games during this tournament), I'm willing to help you.
This way I can also honor your request earlier this year to play a match between Damage 15.3 and Sjende Blyn.

There are however two practical problems:
-I don't have 158 games match support yet
-I don't have an operational PC: A Windows update (build 2004) recently disabled all USB devices on my PC and I was unable to repair it with a repair stick (all methods failed)... - I currently use a laptop which cooling system is not suitable for heavy computation.

So what I can do first is to finish the 158 games match support.

I warmly will also ask how you will do DXP games 158.

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

Krzysztof, the recent version 15.4 plays in a 158 games match against Kingsrow 1.62 8 losses and 150 draws, with settings 2 min/75 moves (in the tournament i participate with the 15.3 version).

So you are right the new Kingsrow version is better , my expectation 15-20 ELO difference with Damage.
