Re: Fritz (12) and the limit strength feature

Alexander, do you think you can write a patch for the latest Stockfish using whatever reduced method you think the best? I think the UCI Limit in the Stockfish chess engine is broken, it just doesn't work.

Re: Fritz (12) and the limit strength feature

I tested your engines with a human (myself). I wouldn't play it with a long control, every game was played at 5 minutes or something like two seconds per move. Maybe you should try a bit more in shorter control. Nobody would bother to sit and play a computer for a standard control. I also don't find ...

Re: Fritz (12) and the limit strength feature

I've played your LS engines. In fact I downloaded your engines every time you announced on talkchess. I think the reduced difficulty achieved isn't as consistent and smooth as I would have thought. For example, the LS feature in Shredder is better. I felt a bit artificial, I don't know how to ...

Re: Fritz (12) and the limit strength feature

I see your idea. Just curiosity, the point of reducing strength is to allow a human beat the engine. If the engine isn't calibrated against humans on a real human playing scale, how accurate would that be? For example, if I was a 1400 rated and I played a LS engine 1400 rated. If I don't score ...

Re: Fritz (12) and the limit strength feature

How do you limit the strength? You slow the search, limit the number of nodes etc. But is this enough? And how do you tune and verify the parameters are correct?

Re: Fritz (12) and the limit strength feature

As far as I can remember, only Arena properly supports the UCI strength limit option. By the way, I've been studying how you implemented limit strength features and might include one of yours in my new GUI application.

Re: Bent Larsen passed away

RIP. He is always one of my heroes. I enjoy the book by Garry Kasparov written about him.
