Deep Saros

[noctiferus]

I got a few results from blitz(zz!)games between Deep Saros and other top engines ( 2m+3 sec in my ancient Pentium M). The feeling that I got is that he is quite strong, at least in very short times...
I would plan to test him now on my i7. Did anybody else find that he is worth of a try?

Txs, JS.
So I'm not alone in thinking he is extra strong...

[JackStraw]

My unqualified opinion would be that DS is as strong as some of the best IH compiles . A notch above R4 , but not in Houdini's league.............

[noctiferus]

your feeling is just like mine.
I hope to start in a few days a little tournament between the "best fives" on an i7.

Deep Saros is a fairly weak version of that family.

Best,

" Deep Saros is a fairly weak version of that family. "

......... Others seem to disagree ......

A new version is out ..... DS 2.3e2

More tests needed.......

[JackStraw]

Another nice result for DS , this time 2.3e2x64 .......

Rybka rallied late in the match , going +3 the last 10 games , to keep the score respectable..........

The second match was real surprise to see new DS beating Rybka so badly.
Will try the same with Houdini at 15 min compared to first match at 10 min.
