Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :

For Blitz

Zappa Scale better , however Rybka 2.3.2 a SMP 64 is still the best chess engine out there even on 8 cpu Very HappyVery Happy

Mama Milla,  Naum was too optimist versus Rybka , Naum show positive score when Rybka see the opposite, Naum is very strong (probably one of the top 3-5 chess engine ) but this time was punish by Rybka

3- Fre Rybka 64 bits - still very strong

4-Fritz 10 did very good only 1 loss

5- Naum 2.2 SMP , something strange 4 losses in the row !!! maybe a bug... don t know ... when I retarted the computer 4 wins in the row !!!

Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :

DS 11 is  in big trouble vs Zappa And Naum (all play with 8 cpu)

score only 22.5 % vs Zappa Mexico and 35% vs Naum 2.2 SMP

 DS is a lot more comfortable vs Top free UCI  around 65 % vs Glaurung and Fruit 2.3.3J Beta
after a bad begining DS 11 fought back and has a positive record vs Free Rybka 1.0 64 bits

Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :

 

This version 2.3.3 J is well tuned vs Free Rybka and Toga ... The 2 top free UCI engine the last 2 years

It  managed to beat all free Top UCI engine (  Rybka, Toga, Pharaon ,Naum, Spike ,Glaurung...) in a 20 games match except Strelka.

It draw vs Fruit 2.3.1 .

It has a lot of difficulties vs Strelka 1.8 (a lot of controversy around Strelka ,illegal  Clone or not?I don't know & I m not the one to decide)

It was not a surprise to see Fruit lost againstcommercial Zappa Mexico 8 CPU

I m running some  test for  Fruit beta... More version will be test ...

This one did well versus strong Free UCI engine

Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :

Zappa Mexico is Very impressive on 8 CPU (just look at the match RybkaSMP vs Zappa Mexico!!)

That s why I decide to test it on my 2Xeon 5365 (8CPU 3ghz) 

Zappa was able to score 74.5 % vs 10 top Free uci Engine!!! (and this is just The 32 bits version)

It managed to score positive record vs all opponent (only Strelka draw it, I was alittle bit surprise )

Toga,Strelka and Glaurung SMP (it was on 4 CPU) did very well vs Zappa Mexico (A top 2 commercial engine )

This is the first Time I saw a Top Commercial engine other than Rybka that could beat easily the top 10 free UCI engine ...

It was a big surprise to see Zappa Mexico score 80 % vs Free Rybka 1.0 (A top 3 free engine , maybe the best free engine). It gave a chess lesson to others free UCI engine (95 % vs Pharaon !!! 80 % vs Fruit 2.3.1, 80% vs Spike 1.2 ...)
