Rating List

This is a complete new list. All games played on the same hardware. The list end at ~ 2900 Elo. This is around the same level as Magnus Carlsen, the human world champion. Number one HYDRA is a symbolic engine because it never could be bought of it's special hardware (FPGA cards). It was the strongest engine around 2002 - 2006. I have no interest on higher rated engines (read "About").

There are CM settings tested with 8 cores T8 (more cores are not supported) to see what max strength Chessmaster can reach. As you see you can play on world champion level with it :)

For the King x64 engine only the unpatched version is used because the patched one doesn't work correct for me and I get some BSOD. OPK number created with OPK_CM10.VBS script.

Time control is mostly 40 moves / 2 min, Hashtablesize 128mb, 512 for T8, T4..., Books used: HS7move from Harry Schnapp, FEOBOS from Frank Quisinsky, HiarcsBookRef2550Lite, HS-Grandmasterbook.    All books limited to 7 moves (14 plys), Banksia-GUI, Fritz 14-GUI, Fritz 7-GUI for 16bit engines, Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 98 and Windows Me Virtual Machines for 16bit tests

AMD Ryzen 5900x 4.5ghz all Cores, 64gb ram, 3x SSD

Update 10.Sep.2022: Because of the 25 year anniversery I added a new symbolic engine Deep Blue 97 to remind this historical moment in computer chess!

Update 21.March.2023: imported a big part of the Comp2005 database. It includes only high quality games (minimun 30min. games) and fit perfect to my list. Speedfactor from old HW to newest is ~7. Included a bunch of real Hydra games! All Credits to the contributers and collectors of this database! At least a bunch of new games from my side.

Update 16.April 2023: Database cleanup and corrections, Crafties cleanup, more 16bit games, more engins added.

Update 20.March 2024: ~70000 games added, 47 engines added (three Crafty Dinos, thanks to Jim Ablett!)

Update 10.April 2024: Cray Blitz in the list now! Big thanks to "Master of compiling - Jim Ablett" :-)

Games download   527mb - 584000 games  -  644 Engines, T8 = 8 threads, T4 = 4 threads and so on...
