Hi, I have one question re benchmark.
I quite cannot understand why the bench of Tactical is significantly less powerfull than original stockfish.
Here is the latest original stockfish dev

Stockfish by the Stockfish developers (see AUTHORS file) AVX2

Code: Select all

===========================
Total time (ms) : 2104
Nodes searched  : 2583619
Nodes/second    : 1227955

while latest tactical shows on the same environment:
TACTICAL 220823 by A. Ces,Thanks to M.Z. for new exp file, the Stockfish developers (see AUTHORS file) AVX2

Code: Select all

===========================
Total time (ms) : 2177
Nodes searched  : 1574347
Nodes/second    : 723172

Also when I try to match the two engines Arena,Xboard pure play (no books), the original Stockfish wins 80 % of games.
Even though I set Tactical to use CTG Book Fauzi33 and experience file, Tactical lose in majority of the games.
I tried to use BMI2 versions but it is the same (similar) situation


What am I missing here?
Thanks for help!

Hi! I am using a different command to compile, it must be that...I use the mingw64 environment...On the other hand, if you are going to play TACTICAL vs other engines, leave the "tactical" parameters at zero. On my PC, benchmarks are faster than SF, but these builds, from what I see in your numbers are negative on other PCs... So, the only solution that comes to me is to use the mingw64 commands for default like: (make -j profile -build ARCH, etc.). Thanks for this notice.

Regards.

HI Anton,
thank you for your reply.
Unfortunatelly I am not experienced with building from the sources, but I will study how to do it and try to compile the EXE file from the source.
WIll let you know about the result.

As for the play, I did not set tactical to any number, I just tried to match other stockfish and stockfish derivates with default values:
The only parameter I always change for all engines is Move Overhead to 100, as lower numbers make the engine "lose on time" in Arena..

Code: Select all

The strange thing is, that even if I set SF Tactical to use very strong CTG book (Fauzi 3.3), it still loses the game against stock SF or any other SF derivate that does not have CTG book set.



Thank you and have a nice day

Anton, hi again, I installed MSYS64 and sucessfully compiled with mingw64 with command

the NPS of compiled tactical is slightly better, but still does not come any close to STOCK SF.

Now I am running the tournament agaist other 10 engines, will let you know.

Hi!

Put the CTG book in the same folder as the TACTICAL engine...The makefile is updated to the latest SF development...I'll be interested to see the results you get. Thank you.

Regards.

Tomorrow I'll send you the "build tester tool" and you can check the bench of the engines.
