when a daily tester lies to people...

[sarona]

I knew about the issue with ShashChess.

I actually wrote that post in order to see if I could get a rise out of him and that he would then (predictably) praddle on in future posts about trolls and how terrible he is being treated on the fora. I see he is doing that on another forum with 62 members. Thanks for not letting me down.

I also did not want to be mean and mention the fact that such an experienced engine tester was scammed by including the (fake) Eman 10 in his test. I am sure he will eventually figure that one out, too.

After Rulleeeee, you are the 2nd person to think that !?
For me, Sedat is still the least enlightened TD in terms of EXP files / learning engines.
But maybe you or Rulleeeee have found something in all Sedat's messages, because I haven't...

Chris, I seriously doubt he has learned anything about experience files. That post was pure sarcasm in order to provoke a reaction. People can test engines for 20 years and still be ignorant of the proper methods required. He doesn't even comprehend that either.

At first, I didn't know Sedat so my first feeling was of pain for him as a TD to see his ignorance in absolutely all areas of learning engines / EXP files.

Since none of his supporters explained his mistakes to him, I understood that in fact they were all afraid that learning engines / EXP files would make all their work on BIN books obsolete.

So, I was interested in the openings most covered by BIN books and I trained Eman :


After each learning session, I update a small BIN book with the most effective/played moves up to the 60th ply so not only when I use my EXP file in tournament mode (experience book = true), it is less and less of an "experimental" feature (as Khalid said) but I also learn about their world of BIN books.

When I see that they are still at the starting point with < 500 games per opening, engines configured in training mode (experience book = false) during their tournament, EXP files that do not match the engines, concurrency > 1, hash size < 2 GB, untrained openings, I enjoy waking them up from time to time because it gives me ideas for coding new tools.
