Toga Returns : Special Edition ... Need Help ...
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:16 pm
Hi everybody,
I'm actually trying to realize a special edition of Toga Returns : a Sparring Partner for Human and for Engine makers ... In fact I saw some people needs engines to test their own.
My goal is to realize a "human like blunder maker" lol.
I want a realistic 1400 engine, 2000 engine, 2600 engine, ...
So I'm trying different methods. Actually I have a formula that seems pretty good.
To activate this option : simply choose level between 1400 and 2800.
[In LittleBlitzer GUI, simple add "Level=xxxx" in the engines.lbe]
Actually, in self testing, here is results (in 10ms/move games) :
And the ratings with bayeselo (offset set to Sparring Partner 2800 as 2800):
As you can see, with this formula, ratings seems not so far from the goal.
But it's with self play and in 10ms/move.
I need testers to help me to verify all this :
- tests against other engines
- tests with longer time controls
- tests the playing style of the different "partners" : to see if realistic ones.
If you are interested in testing this, I can send you the bin file (for windows only for this time, only 1 core for now). I don't give the src now : I'll distribute this as soon as tests are goods and the formula seems the best one (realistic and well tune partners). It's why I don't put here an online version. I prefer sending this to testers accepting my point of view.
Thanks a lot.
Benoît
