Hello,
at http://www.computerschach.de/test/index.htm there's an updated version of my Excel sheet with the detailed results of 260 engines (also many Winboard engines among them) in the test suite "Weltmeister-Test" (WM-Test) for free download (1,5 MB).
The "WM-Test" includes 100 test positions from games of the different (human) chess world champions:
38 positions in King attack, 36 positions in positional playing and 26 positions in endgame.
Test conditions:
Each of the 100 test positions was tested 20 minutes in analyse mode, without access to opening books, but with access to endgame databases (Nalimov tablebases, complete 3/4/5 pieces). Used hardware: AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400 MHz.
Since my last published Excel sheet (2004 January, with 230 engines) the following engines (among others) were tested by me:
- Shredder 8 Aggressive, Gambit Shredder 8 Aggressive and Shredder Classic
- Ruffian 2.0.2 and Ruffian 2.1.0
- CM9000 R1 (Hudetz),
- Aristarch 4.37, Aristarch 4.41 and Aristarch 4.50
- Crafty 19.08
- Comet B68
- Gothmog 0.4.5 and Gothmog 0.4.8
- Yace 0.99.86 alpha
- AnMon 5.30
- Anaconda 1.6.2
- Tao 5.6
- Thinker 4.5g
- Patriot 0.1.7-2 Light
- The Baron 1.2.0
- Quark 2.29
- Slow Chess 2.93a
- Jonny 2.61
- Averno 0.70
- Fruit 1.0 and Fruit 1.5
- Movei 0.08.178
- BlackBishop 0.9.7i
- Chess Academy 7 (with and without Academy “Middlgam.mbb”).
For using this test suite “WM-Test” and to avoid misunderstandings/misinterpretations of my test results I recommend to look at the attached “readme.txt”.
Hint: In case you don’t use Excel you can download a free MS Excel Viewer (Excel 97/2000 Viewer, 3,72 MB) at http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2 ... iewer.aspx.
