Has any testing been done at long time controls using best features for each machine? Both are around 1970 elo.
What is the result?
Both machines seem to be very tactical.
The Fid Master has hash so may be better in the end game if it reaches that stage.
Any preference for one or the other?

I would bet for Fidelity. Spracklen programs have a very good ending code.Celadus wrote:Has any testing been done at long time controls using best features for each machine? Both are around 1970 elo.

The closest was the SSDF testing of the big brother Mach IV vs. GK2100: Mach IV 68020 14,5-25,5Celadus wrote:Has any testing been done at long time controls using best features for each machine? Both are around 1970 elo.

I am surprised that these two were never put head-to-head by the SSDF.
I'd also prefer the Mach III: slightly faster and hash tables for the endgame vs. Morsch's null-move heuristics.

The GK2100 beat the Mach4 25.5 to 14.5. How surprising. The games must have been decided before the end game. The Mach 4 has hash which helps the end game.
The Mach 3 Master would probably lose by a higher margin despite it's hash tables.

Other way around. Mach IV beat GK2100.Celadus wrote:The GK2100 beat the Mach4 25.5 to 14.5. How surprising. The games must have been decided before the end game. The Mach 4 has hash which helps the end game.
