Hi,
if previous match was unbalanced, what about this one? Nearly 1200 CElo points separate the Vonset / Femuey L6-v2 from the Yeno 320XT... And as far as processor speed is concerned, the L6-v2 is roughly ten thousands times faster... So even spending 0 (yes, zero!!) seconds on the clock for the whole game, whilst the Yeno used 15 secs. average per move, the Vonset just CRUSHED the Yeno. Indeed, this is unfair. But fun!
And I am pretty sure some of you will appreciate watching some games from the fairly unknown Chinese bomber. And of course stronger opponents will be thrown in front of it
during the next stages of the competition...
Meanwhile, please be aware the first game is a gem, to my opinion: make sure you watch the final mate, leveraging two sacs in a row: a Rook then a Bishop...
While entering the moves across both computers, I input them on my favorite GUI (to get the PGN tracked) and sometimes activating HIARCS 15.2 live analysis, with four PVs displayed, to better check moves quality (as the standard was far too high for me, Vonset side of course). I noticed most if not all moves from the L6-v2 were always first choice... Therefore once the game completed, I ran a post-mortem analysis for the Vonset/Femuey moves only, using Deep HIARCS 15.2 with 2 threads (of Intel Core-i5 CPU) and 5 secs./move. According to my estimation, the laptop using two threads is about ten times faster than the Vonset; and the analysis engine is over 3.200Elo in CCRL 40/15 list, so fairly able to provide a trusted outcome. Result is included in the PGN data... Chess speaks for itself, as a famous chess player stated
...
Therefore I launched the same post-mortem analysis after the second game; to be honest it does not deserve as much interest as the first one; nevertheless the outcome of the analysis is amazing (for a chess computer, I mean).
