Ok. Suppose that I am an engine tester and tournament conductor. I want to use and apply Eman ( an engine with experience file) at my tournament. Can you give me a default setting (recommended setting) for the engine in tournament mode ?
Thanks in advance
But Khalid has already configured the default settings for tournaments in all versions of Eman !!!
From Eman 6.95 until Eman 9.90 :
That's why when I saw Oliprog's custom settings, I saw right away that there was a real intention not to respect Khalid's settings, so not to put the Eman engine in the best conditions, so not to show its real strength. And as he has done several times, we are no longer in the fun or hobby of a tournament, especially from a TD !
If we want the engine to use the experience data of its EXP file as much as possible, we set "Experience Book" to true.
If we want to know if an EXP file brings something to an another engine or not, we set "Experience Book Read Only" to true so as not to corrupt the EXP file with data from an another engine.
If they are honest TDs :
- (before the tournament) they ask the EXP's authors, what are the most effective "Experience Book Best Move", "Experience Book Eval importance", "Experience Book Min Depth" and "Experience Book Max Moives" values for their EXP files with the engine used in the tournament
- (before the tournament) they display the experience rate (percentage) of the EXP file for the list of openings which will be used in the tournament
- (after the tournament) they display the conformity (percentage) of the engine with the experience data of the EXP files
- etc.
