Well, you can't really "observe" these games, because I'm running them on my own computer. But, for the sake of fairness, I re-ran two 50 game matches becakuse my comments were based on older version of Toga 2 and Glaurung.

The time control was short, 5 minutes per side, even though xboard kept going even after 5 minutes, so the games were longer. Here are the results of an overnight test:

Glaurung vs Spike 1.2 Turin: 24 / 15 / 11 (W / L / D)

Toga II vs Spike 1.2 Turin: 19 / 14 / 17 (W / L / D)

 

Version info:

Glaurung: 2.2-1

Toga II: 1.4.1.1SE1-1

Now, as for your "linux" comment (on the other page), I don't see how that is relevant. These engines are the same (same source code), and the choice of OS doesn't matter.

I'm currently running Glaurung vs. Toga II.

I look forward to watching and observing your 50/100 game tournament.

I didn't read your intro page until now. So you are indeed playing 2 or 3 games only. Timewise good, but statistically meaningless approach.

Sorry, am I reading this correctly? You are running a 3 game tournament? Have you tried running 50 or 100 games? In my tests Spike 1.2 beats Toga II.
