Minic 3.02 NaNi Skylake x64 =
disqualified ***
After three x lost on time in round 3 out of 50 I disqualified Minic 3.02 NaNi
Skylake x64.
I had the same problems with Minic 2.33 x64 for FCP Toruney-2020
and reported the bug. Minic lost often on time around 2-6 moves before own mate
(Shredder 13 GUI information: Analyze = empty).
That is s bad situation because Klaus and I must make the statistics for round 1-2 again. I
did not test Minic before I started the tournament. The problem is homemade!
OK, since I started the tournament two interesting engine updates are available.
I added the updates. In additional the current Stockfish dev. version.
01. Minic 3.02 NaNi Skylake will be replaced with
Hannibal 1.7 x64. 02.
SlowChess Blitz 2.4 NN x64 is replaced with SlowChess 2.5 NN AVX2
x64. 03. Marvin 4.0.1 POPCNT x64 is replaced with Marvin
5.0.0 NN AVX2 x64. 04. Sf 2020-12-31_18 NN BMI2 x64 is replaced with
Stockfish 110121 NN BMI2 x64. Timestamp:
1610390551, Stockfish is running in Hybrid mode (default).
With Stockfish I am not sure? I suppose NNUE will be load with Shredder 13
GUI only, if the full path for the NNUE file in UCI configuration is given.
Furthermore, the nn-62ef826d1a6d.nnue file should be add in Stockfish
directory.
My configurations can be found under:

*** Anchor to
Shredder 13 POPCNT x64 with 3125 Elo ***
Two users do not understand why I set for FCP Tourney-2021
an Shredder 13 POPCNT x64 anchor to 3125 Elo. Performance for Shredder 13
POPCNT x64 is 3105 for FCP Toruney-2020.
1. I am using 5-man endgame databases. For the forerunner
tournament I am using 4-man endgame databases. A. Elo- gain = 5
Elo B. Additionally 5 Elo for engines stronger in endgames with
more knowledge = 10 Elo.
2. With the time-control
40 moves in
12 minutes "repeatedly" engines have much more time in endgames as
with the time-control 20 minutes game + 5 seconds move "Fischer". The time
control I am using for FCP Tourney-2021 have a higher value.
Engines stronger in endgames with more knowledge will win 10 Elo.
Engines weaker in endgames will be not lost or win Elo.
Simply, experience with own rating-list systems, tourneys I organized for more
as 25 years. Elo- gain for 4-man or 5-man tested out for many years. It's not
a secret that the strength from Shredder engine is the endgame.

*** FEOBOS
opening book changed ***
It is too many works to check each of the 41.000 games for bad opening lines if
eco.pgn is inside the opening book. I switched after 774 out of 41.000
games to v2 without the lines from eco.pgn. Three bad lines after
774 played games only are too much.
Never changed a running system!
OK, OK ...
Again: Please be informed that I checked the first 776 games
for bad lines. Three games are replayed and can be found in my *.zip
file. v1 and v2 from the opening book can be found in my *.zip file.

*** FEOBOS
opening lines mixed with eco.pgn ***
A very controversial decision to added eco.pgn in the 100% clear FEOBOS
database, free of blunders. Please have a look in
News-18.
Technicality ...
The advantages for eco.pgn: - better data structure
inside the opening book. - important A00-E99 missed lined are inside.
The disadvantage for eco.pgn: - not balanced
gambit-lines inside the opening book.

With the book setting "Games = 2" 95%-98% of unbalanced new moves, comes from
eco.pgn (most gambit-lines), will be rejected.
This is not the ultimate troubleshooting! I must check the complete
41.000 games.
I will do that with the universal-pgn-epd-tool v2 by
Ferdinand Mosca with:
high-score fcp-tourney-2021.pgn +80 -60
The hight-score-fcp-tourney-2021.pgn output file will be check with the
"Live-Book" from Chessbase 16. The nice tool by Ferdinand
Mosca can be found in my download selection.
From the first 569 played games I found 2 games with bad opening lines!
Quite easy to check because FEOBOS lines marked in database with 3000 Elo.
eco.pgn lines marked in database with 2800 Elo.
Located games will be replayed! I will set in the *.bkt opening book
"f" for delete! The current opening book will be updated from round to round
and is inside my *.zip file.
The rejected games (draws below 20 moves, games over 300 moves, bad opening
lines) can be found in *.cbh format in my *.zip file.

*** The
tournament director has to make two decisions?! ***
1. Koivisto
The current available release version "4.00" have small stability problems. I
asked for an update and the authors sent me directly Koivisto 4.19.
Sources from 4.18 are on GitHub, sooner or later a new Koivisto will be
available.
Important for myself because I always gave the information: No private
available versions of engines or private engines for my tournaments.
I like Koivisto a lot and my decision are to add Koivisto 4.19 in the field.
Stability is most important for the long time FCP Tourney-2021
tournament.
Elo strength is around the same (v4.00 to v4.19).
I am incredibly happy with Koivisto 4.19, test it today a bit. My thanks' go to the
three authors of Koivisto.
Go Koivisto go ... a great and powerful new development!
2. Nemorino
The current available Nemorino 6.00 with Net_06 is the strongest Nemorino
version. Net_14 is an own trained net and not compatible to Nemorino 6.00. On
BitBucked v6.04 sources are available.
The programmer Christian Günther
sent me an Nemorino 6.04 PEXT compile and told me that is my decision what I
added in the tourney.
Thanks' to Christian for Nemorino 6.04 and the information I got.
Sleeping about it and I am thinking I should add Nemorino 6.04
with Net_14
in the tourney.
Go Nemorino go ...
Often all is not easy but with the current field of 41 engines I am happy now.
FCP Tourney-2021 will be
start in 1 hour!

Tourney-2021 ***
Additional information:
01. FCP Tourney-2021
will be start January 04th, 2021.
02. List of participate
engines can be found in News-01.
03. I calculated an
average from 3080 Elo for 41 participate engines. - for Shredder 13 GUI
*.html tournament table - for Excel calculation files by
Klaus Wlotzka
- 3080
Elo = Tournament category XXXIV (34)!
04. Anchor:
Shredder 13 POPCNT x64 with 3125 Elo - for the rating list
calculation with Ordo, Bayesian and EloStat. - 3080 Elo average
or 3125 Elo anchor to Shredder 13 ... End of the tourney
both will be produced the same result!
05. Elo range = ~ 575 Elo
- Topple 0.80 & pirarucu 3.3.5 are probably with ~ 2875 - 2900 Elo the weakest engines
in the field. - Stockfish 2020-12-31 probably with ~ 3425 - 3450 Elo the strongest engine in
the field.
06.
LIVE mode with Fling Plus
5.04: - *.sto, *.html & *.pgn files will
be updated each 30 minutes
07. Replay-Zone
- from round to round I will add the short won games below 60 moves!
08. Wasp 4.50 is naturally
most interesting for us and will be probably fight with: Winter
0.9, Arasan 22.2, GullChess 3.0 for place 20.
We await around 960 - 970 of 2.000 points = 48,0% - 48,5%
09. I await for our
opening book: FEOBOS v20.1 Contempt 5 tuned v2 - 0,15% short
draw games below 20 moves, if so ... a sensational result! - 1,15% short draw games below 30 moves,
if so ... a sensational result! -
3,15% short draw games below 40 moves, if so ... a very strong result!
10. We
wish all the participate programmers good luck and a happy new year 2021!

Chunksize = maximal possible number of pairings!? Chunksize = 999 is standard?
For each new tournament, Shredder 12 / 13 GUI set automatically "999"?
With other words, Shredder 12 / 13 GUI is unable to set a correct "Chunksize"
after a tournament is configurated.
I stopped the tourney, edit "Chunksize" higher, started the tourney again and Shredder
13 GUI started to load the last missed pairings from round 1 out of 8.
"Chunksize" should be calculated by Shredder 12 / 13 GUI!
OK ... How many users have interest to start a tourney with so many produced
pairings? A small mistake! But in the morning at first a new big chaos!
Never before, in all the years, I need the parameter "Chunksize".

*** Deuterium ***
With standard settings (tested on a second PC) or with PawnHash=8,
Deuterium 2019.2.37.73 POPCNT x64 produced the same weaker strength under
Shredder 13 GUI.
Now I have no ideas, cannot find anything more. Problem is unknown
for me. I believe it have to do with possible UCI settings in combination
with Shredder 12 / 13 GUI.
I replaced
Deuterium 2019.2.37.73 POPCNT x64 with SmarThink 1.98 AVX2 x64.
The FCP Quality Tourney-2021
produced since days a lot of work.
I hope that all works fine now.

And Shredder 12 GUI set 7 defaults automatically from 100 to "0". The reason for the bad results!
Solution: No solution found with Shredder 12 GUI. With
Shredder 13 GUI it seems all works fine.
A)
I changed Shredder GUI from v12 to v13 or I lose Deuterium! B) 39 Deuterium 2019.2.37.73 POPCNT x64

2. Rodent IV 0.30 Tal BMI2 x64 (Personality Tal Test). The results for the playing

*** Time control,
stability test 1 ***
A bad idea ... Fischer time control in combination with
Winboard engines and WB2uci adapter!
Winboard Engines have problems with the time management if I set the time control
to
20 minutes game + 5 seconds move "Fischer".
After ~ 60 moves, engines like ProDeo 3.0, Francesca 0.29a others have
10 minutes left on the clock. 50 Elo can be lost with such a time
management!
UCI engines like Beef 0.3.6, BobCat 8 lost continuously on time, other UCI
engines have smaller time management problems with the Fischer time control.
I have to change the time control, or I lost to many engines for FCP
Qualify Tourney-2021.
A) Time control for
FCP Qualify Tourney-2021:
40/12, 40 moves in 12 minutes "repeatedly", 08 rounds

*** Elo
calculation ***
The Elo range between the strongest 41 FCP Qualify Tourney-2021
engines is ~ 475 (Lc0 to Cheese).
I believe GreKo 03.2020 is the weakest
(not sure because the playing strength for Open Rodent 1.0
is questionable) and Wasp 4.08 dev with Lc0 0.26.3
CPU the strongest engines in the field.
I calculated the Elo average of 46 engines with
results from CEGT, CCRL, FGRL and my own with 2840 = Tournament category XXIV
(24)!
11 engines will be qualified for FCP Tourney-2021!
1. 2820 Elo: I set for Shredder GUI tournament table!
2. Results from FCP Tourney-2020:
2968 Elo: Nirvanachess 2.4 2939 Elo: Protector 1.9.0
2887 Elo: SmartThink 1.98 2859 Elo: Monolith 2.01
Can be use for the first Ordo 1.2.6 Elo-calculation!

Opening book settings for Shredder GUI:
Note:

be the results. Around 100 of 10.500 position will be lost with this
setting but that's not important.
