Subjekt: Re: Gothic Vortex (Cerebro.....)

but were they recompiled from source? optimisers can make big differences. if you use old binaries, on new machines, the tests aren't conclusive.

then, another thought: those are computer programs. that means, that they'll do the same things with the same input (random functions excluded). I think that even a small difference in computer strength would be enough to provide the sort of results you show. for example: say that chess1.0 has an elo of 1800, chess2.0 an elo of 1850. among humans, you'd expect results like 12-8; with computers results such as 20-0 aren't surprising.

a good test would be to let the 2 programs play against some humans with a comparable strength.
