yes i am playing 40/120.Steve B wrote:it seems Thor that you perhaps have the Strongest Sparc module ever released for sale!mclane wrote:
In the moment sparc plays some games to come back into the leading position. so far sparc module has 100% (10 from 10 games!).
it seems i have no dedicated chess computer that can stop the sparc module.
if this is not changing i will maybe integrate a tasc chessmachine version with the koning program. so far i have no the koning program in my tournament and it is my big wish to have ALL programmers with almost all engines beeing in the tournament.
when i competed in the Paris Games this past May.. my Sparc could only win 1 game ..draw 2 and lost two ..to finish second from dead last

and i was using a module with 4MB for hash tables ..not the normal 1MB!!
but the time control was only 30 Seconds per move
your tournament is a longer control if i remember correctly
No Spark For Me Regards

maybe this time control is better for sparc.
maybe in the tournament you participated
the opponents were stronger.
my idea was not to get the strongest, my idea was to get almost ALL
programs from ALL programmers.
therefore i think i will kick constellation out, this machine is to weak,
and has only played 4 games...
and i have enough novag machines in the field.
and replace it with the chessmachine de koning.
30 seconds is very fast.
the spracklen programs needs some time to get a stable main line.
5 or 6 plies is not enough. 7 and 8 is better.
you had horrible opponents.
vancouver, montreux... horrible.
