OpenChess

@dorsz Changed thinking times again. 60 minutes + 5 secs for Stockfish (to simulate 5 min games on good hardware) and 3 hours / all moves for ProteusSFX-AI, so it has all the time to search good moves. Better quality games than quantity, I already have a good base of openings that can hold even top engines boosted by better hardware

@dorsz Having more time to calculate (or a better hardware) Stockfish becomes almost unbatable!

I'm waiting your updated engines for 2 blitz 5-0 300 games rematches and if you have your own books it's would been better

ASAP I'll use your last DOTS 8 test suite to make our challenge more thrilling. Just downloaded it

...and so I can pubish all the games, since nobody can use them against me!!!

PS: Have you something to suggest about AI?

MATCH ProteusSFX-AI 240101 vs Swordfish 15.5
DOTS 8 (Dynamic Opening Test) suite - All 1530 positions repeated on both sides
10 minutes + 5 secs / all moves - Core I5 2 cores ~ 1000 kn/s - Tablebases 6 man

@dorsz Unluckily DOT 6.pgn seems not working on Banksiagui! Clocks go and engines play but the chessboard is hooked on the starting position! It could be also one more BSG bug (I have even reinstalled BSG 0.58rc1 from scratch deleting all settings data, on the image above was using another book probably, BSG has even messed selected books) but with TCEC 23 superfinal (that I have used for Ligh 12 Pro's 300 games gauntlet) it works fine. So I'm using this unbalanced test suite instead of your on 300 10 mins +5 games matches.

Could you please test if the DOT6.pgn works on your PC with BSG 0.58 RC1?

@dorsz DOT 6 works fine on Fritz 18 GUI. But on this GUI I must hard code the number of CPUs of engines on settings (I choose 4 it uses 1)

NOTE: Both BanksiaGui and Fritz 18 GUI are full of bugs. Chessbase absolutely doesn't care about nothing (Playchess.com siblings, insults, bugs) I will not buy another Premium Account for 40€, I will use more 3 months FREE LEGAL DEMO accounts since it's an eternal BETA if not an abandoware, while progressively moving offline

@dorsz Finaly I have managed to use DOTS 6 on Banksiagui!
Unbalanced games are much more thrilling
3060 (1530 position repeated on both sides)
10 mins + 5 secs games against Swordfish 15.5 (~100 games/day)
Core I5 2 cores (~1 Mn/s)

Note: I cannot reach Pham even on email. Actually I'm the only admin on Banksiagui forum.
I would like tto help him fix Lichess.org clients bugs and BSG overall instability...
But Fritz 18 Gui and tournament management is much worse... Really Playshit

Nice long match. 3060 games should be enough to verify the strength.
How did you fix the problem in Banksia?

@dorsz Reinstalling it from scratch, completely deleting C:\Banksiagui 0.58 RC1 folder and all Bankiagui configs also from C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Banksiagui\ Incrdedibly even this way it was loading and enabling other bin books together with DOT'S 6 and when starting the GUI the chessboard was hanging. At the very end, after more trials, the first right DOT 6 position has come out. (I have insisted only because one time it has worked fine, but not with all 3060 games) . A real mess. I don't know where Pham is. It's a pity because after having fixed some bugs, BSG could be really the best gui, much better than Fritz 19. But now it requires infinite workarounds. I have created a .bat that copies my working custom configs and layout when it becomes mad (after few crashes it restores the basic layout, TOO, losing most settiings. A true nightmare....

I like this relaxing layout, I don't know why Pham has chosen a default with not-standard pieces and eyes offending colors

Hi @dorsz, my skylled chess friend, finally +1 for me. I publish both games with reverse colors on same position.
Obviously I'll publish also the couple of games where I will lose on the same position and the match is still at the very beginning

@dorsz I think to have found the right formula for a fair match:

1. Same hardware computing time for both sides (10 mins + 5 secs 1 Mn/s is like 3 mins 1 sec on an average PC calulating 5 Mn/s)
2. No exp advantage (never played your test suite until now)
3. No opening book advantage (I use Playchess.com and Lichess.org won games to build my books)
4. Same unbalanced positions played on both sides.
5. A lot of games to reduce the ELO error marging.
