May I insert my own program in the right place?
CM 5555 285
Chess Tiger 270 <<< with 16Mb hash
Rebel 9 255
Hiarcs 6 255
Rebel 8 250
CM 5500 250
Fritz 5.00 245
Junior 4.6 245
Fritz 5.01 240
MChess 7 230
MChess 5 210
Crafty 12.6 205
I suppose you should also insert Genius, which does a good job on the
CMB. I guess Ferret would also get a good ranking (Bruce?).
As usual, I would like to say that this test has to be taken with a
grain of salt. While the LCT is quite useful in giving approximate (+ -
80 pts) ranking of a NON MODIFIED program tuned to play REAL games, it
is easily possible to get a very high score in the CMB part by modifying
your program, even if it is a very lousy one. Those LCT "combinations"
are only king attacks combinations, and don't represent statistically
the wide variety of tactical positions.
One of my friend has made a little experiment. He has modified
(increased) all the king attack related extensions in his program. And
so, he scored above 300 (about 85%) in the LCT CMB. Of course, this
version of his program didn't play better at all.
I would like to add that Chess Tiger has not been modified to get a high
score in the LCT CMB. The settings I'm currently using were choosen to
give the best results in real games, not on test suites. I never ran the
WAC or ECM tests for example.
