Is the nodes per sec calculation you are both using such that a node equals a position that has been passed to the evaluation function?

Thanks tize. Yes, speed optimization probably helps.

Not for me. At the top of the search function (and qsearch too) I increment the node count.

In Marwin I increment the node counter in my apply_move function which in the search is a step, push or pull, passes doesn't use the function so they are not counted. This will most likely give Marwin a higher node count than if I counted the number of calls to the search function.

So finally, after Jean was defeated by Karl, Eric was defeated by Greg and we will not have an absolute winer. The cadidates for best postal mixer score are Karl and Eric. novacat and briareus shined ..

Thanks Hippo. I may not be quite above 200 at the end though; I checked my rating after my last game and it had changed by 199.8  . Seems I am still fluctuating a little because of everyone else's games.

What games are left? I find
Fritzlein vs. Adanac
camelback vs. arimaa_master
ChrisB vs. arimaa_master
ocmiente vs. ChrisB
Nombril vs. Fritzlein
Hippo vs. Nombril
omar vs. woh
Am I missing any? Several of these games are on the verge of finishing, but ocmiente vs. ChrisB has had no captures so far! I keep wondering when we will first hit the 300-day time limit for a Postal Mixer game, and it never happens, but maybe this year...

Caution: Since these ratings are based on few games played far apart in time, they could swing wildly based on the results of a single event. In fact, I'll bet someone in this list has moved over 200 points by tournament end. I'll paste some current WHRP ratings here so we can compare later for an idea of the volatility:
Fritzlein 2772.9
chessandgo 2537.8
Nombril 2511.8
Adanac 2367.1
Hippo 2253.7
RonWeasley 2249.5
ChrisB 2174.4
ocmiente 2158.6
Tuks 2097.8
blue22 2040.7
mistre 2035.9
camelback 2007.1
omar 1990.5
novacat 1839.3
toby1kenobi 1749.8
|
|
Nombril lost only one game ... with rabbits and won 9 games. That lead to drop of his WHRP from 2518.8 to 2457.2. This shows how unstable this rating is at the top of the ladder.

Yes, wasn't Nombril briefly #1 in WHRP, before his lone loss, and while I was still 4-1?

Is it unstable at the top, or unstable because of the small amount of postal games I have played?

I think the instability is more due to the ratio of games win vs games lost being very high. I remember noticing that Fritzlein's rating also dropped a lot after he lost a game against mistre, and he has many more postal games than you (but also has very few games lost).

Aren't you jumping the gun a bit? Adanac is down 178 points and could still lose to me. I am down 154 points and could still lose to Nombril or chessandgo. And Nombril is up 105 and could still win his remaining four games! |

At least at the 8:0 record Nombril was at around 2512+105

Right, which is just about equal to where I was after losing to mistre, when I said I was down 154 points. Maybe I always stayed ahead by a couple of points, but it was a virtual tie.
