Mysticum Chess Computer Test Scores
It's time to start some tests with Mysticum.
MYSTICUM CHESS COMPUTER - 2011
My Mysticum is built into a camera case which I found convenient for carrying around. The computer itself is a Wyse Via Nehemiah with 1000 MHz. It has CPUID which is a X86 processor benchmark which allows me to configure the speed of my computer in 50 MHz increments from 500 MHz to 1000 MHz. In addition by using a combination of CPUID and MOSLO after long intensive testing that we did a few years ago, I also have several preset settings that run chess engines through an option selection at approximately the equivalent speeds of:
68020 - 12 MHz
68020 - 20 MHz
68020 - 40 MHz
But I am not limited to the above as I can with testing simulate any speed I want up to 1000 MHz.
The first tests that I want to do though is to play it at it's proper full speed of 1000 MHz.
Mysticum Stockfish 2.2.1 JA - Jan 2012 - Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba & Joona Kiiski
This tested version of Stockfish came out in January 2012 and was compiled by Jim Ablett hence the JA behind the version.
Mysticum Stockfish 2.2.1 JA Test Result
Mysticum Stockfish 2.2.1 JA finished with a score of ELO 2980.
Best regards

Here are the test results for Mysticum 1000 WChess 1.6.
Mysticum 1000 WCHESS 1.6 - 1994 - DAVID KITTINGER
This is the UCI version of WChess 1.6 from David Kittinger. WChess 1.6 sensationally scored 5 out of 6 points against Grandmasters in the 1994 Harvard Cup performing at a level of 2895 ELO, drawing against Joel Benjamin and Alex Yermolinsky, while beating Patrick Wolff, Michael Rohde and Alexander Shabalov. However in a playoff against Joel Benjamin it lost by 4 points to 1, drawing 2 games and losing 3.
Novag of course used this result in all their advertising of WChess 1.6. This is however the strongest program that David Kittinger ever wrote. The engine itself was used a lot in later chess learning programs such as Lego Chess, Majestic Chess and Powerchess. The Fritz for Fun or Learn with Fritz series using Chessbase and Frans Morsch seems to be a follower idea based on the Kittinger's success.
MYSTICUM 1000 WCHESS 1.6 TEST RESULT
WChess 1.6 scored well in this test with a final rating of ELO 2452 which is not bad for a 1994 software program.

Hi Nick
With reference to your statement,
"This is the UCI version of WChess 1.6 from David Kittinger. WChess 1.6 sensationally scored 5 out of 6 points against Grandmasters in the 1994 Harvard Cup performing at a level of 2895 ELO, drawing against Joel Benjamin and Alex Yermolinsky, while beating Patrick Wolff, Michael Rohde and Alexander Shabalov. However in a playoff against Joel Benjamin it lost by 4 points to 1, drawing 2 games and losing 3. Novag of course used this result in all their advertising of WChess 1.6. This is however the strongest program that David Kittinger ever wrote".
Surely, WChess 2000 was the strongest?
Regards Bryan

You are right! I had totally forgotten about the existence of WChess 2000.Chessmaster Ireland wrote:Hi Nick

Someone created a UCI protocol many years ago for it. I have it on the Mysticum.lexman wrote:Any links for downloads of Wchess?
Here are some Kittinger's:
I am not 100% on this one if it is Kittinger but I think it is the 1.6 Version. I have the CD but it is Windows 95 and I need to load it onto a Windows 95 PC sometime to know for sure.
This one is WChess 1.6 but for Windows 95 from 1996
This one plays on Windows 95 and 98 and came out in 1998. I have this one working on XP so it might work on later versions of windows as well. This one I also think is WChess 1.6
This is Majestic Chess from 2003 that has the Kittinger WChess 2000 program. This one is also hard to load on some Windows platforms.
Millennium Chess 2000 also I believe includes WChess2000. I have it but have not loaded it on a computer for a very long time.
Also Lokasoft had it I think in one of their software packages.

Yes an excellent score.
I have just started testing the WChess 2000 engine within the ChessGenius GUI on my laptop. Hopefully will have completed all five tests by the end of the week.

Well the WChess2000 running in the ChessGenius GUI @ 2.4GHz only came a few points higher than your WChess 1.6 @ 1GHz with a combined rating of 2522
Have emailed you the results.

The way the rating works as it is based on the combined moves of all 5 tests your WChess2000 test finished with a final score of ELO 2489. Which is 37 ELO better than WChess 1.6 Mhz on Mysticum 1000 MHz. Therefore it is still hard to tell if WChess2000 is actually better than WChess 1.6

Here is the test result for Chessmaster 11.
MYSTICUM 1000 KING 3.5 - BRUCHA PERSONALITY - JOHAN DE KONNING - 2007
King 3.5 is the chess engine version that came with Chessmaster 11 The Art of Learning. The Brucha (Witch) personality is something I kept when I used to play around with Chessmaster 9000 many years ago and transfered to Mysticum.
MYSTICUM 1000 KING 2.5 BRUCHA - TEST RESULT
Mysticum King 3.5 Brucha finished with a score of ELO 2687.
Below is a tournament final table when I had slowed down King 3.5 Brucha to around 8 MIPS to simulate approximately the speed of a 68020 with 40 MHz:
That was quite an interesting tournament where the final winner was unknown until completion of the last round.

I still get 2522
G1 2704+2668=2686
G2 2558+2438=2498
G3 2702+2929=2815
G4 2015+2706=2360
G5 2335+2167=2251
Combined 5 games = 2522
