Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :

I wanted to test the New Deep Junior 10.1, Bright 0.3 and Toga II 1.4 Beta5f.

The main events in this tournament:

Zappa finished 1st , Not a big surprise like Zappa Mexico II is almost strong as Rybka 2.3.2 SMP.

Sometimes people forget that Zappa beat Rybka in a 10 games match at Mexico...

Glaurung was 4th ( 1 st free UCI engine),Toga 6th, Bright 7th: A very good tournament for Glaurung, Toga and Bright

they were ahead of strong commercial  like DS11 and DJ 10.1

First impression on Bright is this is a very strong free UCI engine !!!

Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :


Rybka won : not a surprise

2/  Zappa Mexico 2 is second undefeated too

3/ Bright : This is a very big surprise ... Bright SMP is very strong , on the same level than some commercial !!!

4/ Naum 3 : Small deception : However Naum 3 perform a lot better a long time control. It doesn t really like blitz or short time control

5/ Fritz 11 even on single cpu is very strong at blitz time control... I m waiting to buy the SMP version. hope will be out soon

6/ Toga smp: 1.4.1 and 1.4 beta 4 c , not much elo difference between these 2 toga version, remember Now Toga is at the same level than commercial engine and this is always free . Thanks to their authors Fabien, Thomas, Chris ... hope they will improve it even more ... nest step is to add the learning From William to the SMP version

8/  DS 11 : Still very strong, however it is behinf 3 free engines ... Hope next version will be even stronger. Anyway I like my DS 11

9/ Glaurung did so so,  It could even score better , However it lost some games on time .. Don t know if this a GUI issue ...

10 / Scorpio SMP : I add the top free WB engine just to see how it could play vs strong commercial

11/ Crafty did well vs opponent a lot stronger than his level

Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :

Zappa Mexico II was impressive ... won 6.5/10 vs Rybka ...1st total 32/50

Rybka still Rybka : was beaten by Zappa ,However did a lot better agaisnt other oppponent

DS 11 : was surprising. It did score very well, more than I expected ... and took the 3 rd spot .

F11 : was the only single cpu engine in this tournament, it did more than well ...

Naum 3 : Supposed to be 3rd ... However lost too much games on blitz vs Rybka and Zappa.

Toga: The Top free uci engine did ok vs top commercial engine... I m sure it could do a lot better in the next version

Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :

Zappa Mexico II improve a lot ...on 8 cpu ..

If i compare with my last test rybka - Zappa , Mexico II gain 39 elo !!!

Competitor come more and more closer to Rybka now ... We will not see no more 200 elo difference between Rybka and his closest competitor .

I think soon , we will see some chess engine that could beat Rybka 2.3.2 smp

the King of chess engine is in danger

Hope Rybka 3 will be out soon ...
