Tester comments :

Gajendra Singh:

Two surprises . Wildcat 7 won the tournamrnt ahead of favourites Spike 1.2 and Naum 2.0 . Also Scorpio which regularly finished third in winboard tournaments behind Spike and Naum ended up in the bottom half with the new versio 1.84 and in fact avoided relegation only on the basis of superior tiebreak score. needless to say it does not mean, or even indicate that the new version is weaker . In fact in a winboard engine only tournament Scorpio 1.84 won commandingly ahead of Wildcat 7.Pharaon 3.51 continues to underperform and was again relegated to second division.

Tester comments:

Denis P. Mendoza

Alichess 4.06 by Anton Lindenmair (Germany) proved its supremacy in this tournament garnering 7.5 points ahead of 2^nd and 3^rd placer BBChess 1.01 and Anechka 0.08 both with 7.0 ponts.

The next ranks were shared respectively by Adam 3.0, Gibbon 2.13d and Monarch 1.7, each having 6.5 points. The results were well distributed among the players on half-point differences.

On the average, we could assume that half of the league is about ± 50 ELO points in range.

Of the top 5 engines, only Gibbon, Alichess and Anechka stood their ground. BBChess 1.01 was a truly better upgrade than previous (v0.99).

Madeleine 0.2 could only salvage 8^th place with 6 points (not bad!) and was replaced by Adam 3.0 on the Magic 5 list.

Our guest engine Cheops 1.1UCI, a Linux based experimental AI chess engine by Tristan Miller (compiled for Windows for UCI support by Michael Yee),

succumbed to last place with a winless record. At least it played a smooth game of chess and following the protocol rules by the book.

Another interesting observation is the high percentage of white wins of 60% (blsck wins = 27%, draws = 13%)

and an even usage of opening lines from ECO A to ECO D of about 22 % to 25%. (with ECO E usage of only 7%). I

n the past leagues, using the Noomen Test Suite, engines usually avoid the ECO A lines.

Tester comments :	Daniel Charles : This Open was a long tournament :( (640 games!!! ) The winner was Rybka 14/16 Fritz 9 was second (I think Fritz is very good for fast time control).Toga completed the Podium with 11.5/16.Naum and The King did a good tournament. Arasan was a surprising 6th !!! Delfi 5.0 was the first 100% winboard engine with 10/16... Like I began the tournament end december , I used the old crafty, the old Movei and even the old Scorpio , now all these strong engine were updated ... A funny thing is that I didn t see that I put 2 times Aice in this tournament :D ( 0.99.2 and 0.98) In a 16 rounds open everything could happen . Gambit Fruit (a Top 5 UCI engine) finished only 26 th ... Jonny didn t play at his real level in this tournament.

Gajendra Singh:

In a very tight 1-2-3 finish Naum 2.0 FRC won ahead of Glaurung 1.2.1 and Spike 1.2 .In fact in the original tournament in which Movei00_8_383 had played , Spike had won the tournament but then I replayed Movei's games with Movei00_8_397 which changed the tournament winner .By thwe way the new Movei version gained full 3 points over the previous version which had scored 13/36 .

Tester comments :	Gajendra Singh: I got the idea of this tournament after new Scorpio 1.84 seemed to underperform in a tournament (Winboard premier division) which was surprisingly won by Wildcat 7. Although I was convinced that this was most likely due to the stastical vagaries of small tournaments this gave me the opportunity to run a tournament I wanted to run for some time now- a tournament between best free winboard only engines . Although Wildcat 7 did take the lead for some time in the middle of the tournament in the end it was really no contest . The winner and still the best free winboard only engine- Scorpio 1.84. Gajendra P.S.- In fact currently the only commercial Winboard only engine that I know of is The King.Scorpio 1.84 versus The King 3.33 will be very interesting and , at least in my opinion, very very close .

Victories were well-distributed among the topnotch players, but this time Deep Patzer snatched first place with 8.0 points. Nejmet showed them that it is still a consistent contender in this category with 7.0 points. Crafty took 3^rd place (also with 7.0 points) followed by 4^th placer Terra with 6.5 points. From the top five of the latest rating list only, Nejmet and Terra maintained their standings. A lot of Deep Patzer’s wins were made using the ECO D opening lines, which I noticed to be its main preference. It’s also good to see few draws in the tournament (about 18%). Crafty could have took the top spot if it had won its 4 drawn games.
