HARRY SCHNAPP TRIBUTE (4CPU)

Intel Xeon X5430x2 Octal
ChessGUI
256mb hash each core used
3-4-5 piece tablebases
Ponder off
HarrySchnapp.cgb book (limited to depth of 8 moves)
40 moves in 29 minutes repeating (adapted for the CCRL)
All engines 64-bit where available
4 cycles 36 rounds

Harry's generic opening books are among the finest (some would say the finest) for engine v engine testing.
This tournament is my tribute to Harry and a way of showing my appreciation for his efforts. You'll note that I'm using the final book that Harry produced for ChessGUI.

Hi Graham, thanks for your efforts. Is there a page where HarrySchnapp.cgb and other books of Harry can be downloaded? (on the Google I've found mostly dead links, which means most of his legacy may be lost.)

Most of them are probably in the usual place:

Here is the HarrySchnapp.cgb book that I'm using:

Thanks, it seems the only one missing is HS-Masterbook 3.2.ctg.

Hi Graham.

I have noticed that in the CCRL Critter 1.2 has a rating virtually identical to Critter 1.4, I think it would be very interesting to have both version play in one of your tournaments.

makes a pleasant change to see Rybka ahead of Houdini nowadays.I think Harry would have seen the irony of this.:smile:
