Dear Friends,

I plan to create new standings,based on Top 20 engines (by using Elostat 1.3)
Note that the main rating list (by BayesElo 0056) with all versions will remain as before

For the current table,I used Houdini 2.0t3,due to its points are ranked slightly better (2.5 points higher) than Houdini 2.0z

Note also that the below standings are based on 9200 games,that means we need approx. 1300 games more
In other words,for more reliable standings.... we need at least one week to complete the full table

Btw,the new Houdini settings (Higgs and s2) will be started testing,when each participant will have 1000 games per player

Amazing! In singlethread comparisons with the previous version Gull 1.2, we have found Gull clearly worse than Naum. Now, it seems Gull II beta2 (MP) is located between Naum and Rybka 4.1. I am curious if other testers will be interested in the new Gull, as the developer does not hide that the evaluation is based on Ivanhoe...

Hello Michael,

Indeed the latest Gull II beta2 MP engine performed very good in SCCT,e.g even after 800 games its performance was with 56 % winning percentage

Its a strange that in your test Gull performed worse than Naum,can you inform please your test condition ?

Best,
Sedat

I was referring to Gull 1.2 in major rating lists, for comparison and to indicate the progress. My own first impressions of Gull II beta2 were very good, but not systematical.

(Myself, I am not doing regular rating list tests, due to lack of serious hardware
