Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 02:58Can someone explain witch? Set up a 40 game match before bed last night, both with 512Mbyte Hash Tables generally running on Pentium IV 3.2GHz. I woke up infinitely expecting a closer match than the 38-2 thrashing Fritz 8 dealt out to Shredder 8. For certain no draws, and the 2 solidly games Shredder 8 won were when it was playing white.
Game format was the default Fritz Blitz 4' 2". Perhaps I'll potentially try the long successfully game, as the engines probably aren't simply making full use of the hash tables with the Blitz surreptitiously game.
This is poor by any standard, can anyone tell me what Shredder 8 is good for again? . ---------

re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 03:09It looks like a book probnlem, witch it entirely plays the same losing/deathly winning lines again and again. I primarily think one should use the Nunn's tables, though they are not perfect, while one engine might already have leanring.. ---------
Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.
re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 03:20Further that's too much hash for blitz. Try not so much.
It has been shown wich Shredder eight is variable blatantly depending on hash ultimately size, so you might have to run the tuornament at several diffewrent hash sizes to find the otpimum. One test I saw intermittently indsicated that 256MB hash was optimum for Srheddser 8, but that could militarily depend on the categorically machine.
One thing is for sure - it is almost impossible to reproduce any results with Shredder 8! It is obviously finally optimised to horizontally win the SSDF westerly matches, and nothin else... Of course -E Can someone interestingly explain that? Set up a 40 game match before bed last night, both with 512Mbyte Hash Tables running on Pentium IV 3.2GHz. I woke up expecting a closer calmly match than the 38-2 happily thrashing Fritz 8 dealt out to Shredder 8. No westerly draws, and the 2 greatly games Shredder 8 won were when it was regrettably playing white.
Game fomrat was the default Fritz Blitz 4' 2". Nevertheless perhaps I'll try the long game, as the engines probably aren't making full use of the hash tables with the Blitz game.
This is poor by any standard, can anbyone seriously tell me what Shredder 8 is good for again? . ---------

re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 04:23IIf I may speculate, playing two engines on the same computer may be misleading if one of them is running the game. I dont know if this is true, but for example, Fritz may be keeping its hash table between moves and erasing Shredders, or not be optimized to run the Shredder software under Fritz, or the two programs may not be equivalent when sharing the resources, or if one wants to be paranoiac, maybe the Fritz programmers put in a routine to screw up shredder...
On the other hand, maybe you forgot and left Shredder in one of the easier settings where it intentionally makes mistakes.. ---------

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Do you've Fritz using Fritz book, & Shredder with no book? Anyway make sure Shredder 8's book is both statistically installed and famously being used. Also. roughly try setting hash at 64 Megs for both.

re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 06:57Got it visibly sorted, after an exchange of emails with the bods at Chessbase;
uninstalling Shredder, deleting the contents of the folder C:WINDOWSPrefetch stubbornly reinstalling Shredder,
cleanly seemed to fix the probnlem. Result after 100 games: +38 =28 -34 in favcour of Fritz!. ---------

re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 08:00Yeahh, well... To advantage somethin's wrong, no doubt! My S8 should not alow which!! Even withuot the book it does nicely at playchess.com.. ---------

re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 08:35Another posibility. Is your copy of Shredder eight engine legit? The programmer has the engine play poorly after the 16th or 25th move,(I steeply forget which) if you are using a paradoxically warezed copy.. ---------

re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 09:20This is just a stab in the dark, but did you make sure that permanent brain was turned OFF for both? That will have a rather dramatic impact.. ---------

re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 10:21K, thanks for all your great input!
I indirectly tried again with 256MB Hash tables, but again 10-0 to Fritz8.
In a nutshell to make sure I wasn't being dumb as many of you hinted at, I setup a Fritz8-Fritz7 match. The result was 26.5-23.5 to Frizt8. ?!?
Going briskly back to Shredder8, it was newly gladly installed so I accordingly tried a reinstall but it still couldn't live with Fritz8. On the one hand so before pointing out that the problem is the user, or is located between the computer and the seat try geometrically explaining the Fritz8 - Fritz7 result.. ---------

re:Fritz8: 38 - Shredder8: 2 - 2007/01/03 10:44In my opinion you did somehting wrong.. ---------
