The last couple of days I have been working on gathering all the important parts of the blog into a simple website. As the blog has grown it has become harder to find the good stuff and it is probably about time I do something about that. In the picture you can see a glimpse of the basic layout.The website will be static in nature, meaning I will not update it like I do with the blog, but every now and then add new content from the blog to it.
As for the address I will probably use the same space as I do for storing the versions of Mediocre, to start with.
I will inform you when it is ready. :)
Dear Jonathan,
ReplyDeletethis incredible. I did the LCT II test for Mediocre. I first recall that there is 35 positions (14 positional, 12 tactical and 9 end game). The program can think 5 minutes by position (normally this is 10 minutes but the test is rather old, so with modern computer, 5 minutes should be enough). I didn't do the test for all version of Mediocre because it takes time, but here is the result I obtained
-Mediocre 0.12b: 2/14; 0/12; 0/9 = 2/35 = 1950 (elo)
-Mediocre 0.21b: 2/14 (one of the two is not the same one the previously); 0/12; 0/9 = 2/35 = 1945 (elo)
the elo is different because the time needed to get the good answer is taken into account
AND NOW....
-Mediocre 0.3: 7/14; 9/12; 6/9 = 22/35 = 2415 (elo)
Incredible, 465 points more than the best previous result (ok one should test the intermediate versions to see the increase).
Congratulations!!!
Great news!
ReplyDeleteI knew it was better but I keep getting surprised at how much of a difference there really is.
I suspect the increase from this test comes from the new evalution, this version simply knows what to look for much better than the older versions.
I have run some tests against some of the div 5 engines from wbec. The results show that with a little luck the current mediocre could very well reach the playoff.
