 Hello Achim!
 Rybka is a UCI chess engine programmed by International Master Vasik
 Rajlich. What chess has to do with backgammon? This strikes me as an excuse

Both the World Computer Chess Championship and the Computer Olympiade
are organized by ICGA. Also the same rules regarding the orginality of
software apply to both afaik.

 not to participate. Gnu must overcome the trauma caused by the successive
 wins of bgblitz. Gnu needs to give itself another chance.

As I already said, feel free to participate. I just decided for
_myself_ not for GNU Backgammon.

 Hi Frank,

 What exactly are the requirements to participate? What format will the 
 matches be and how much time does it take approximately? Are there any costs 
 involved?

I took part in 2002 and 2003 and it was as Mssimiliano said. We agreed
on a certain format and just started with two notebooks.

 Did anyone from the GNUbg team respond yet?

Actually I'm guilty having sent an e-mail to Frank regarding the
Computer Olympiade in Tilburg. It's only 2h away by car so I thought
it might be fun to play again. But after the case »Rybka« and the way
the ICGA handled it I decided not to participate.

Anyhow, four different bg programs should be great fun so feel free to join!

Hi,

2011/8/3 Michael Petch mpe...@capp-sysware.com:
 Howdy,

 I received an email that I thought was spam at first. It indicated that
 gnubg.com was going up for auction soon and I was contacted because I am
 associated with gnubg.org and I might be interested . It gave a
 specialized link to http://dnipremiumnames.com/domains (I am not going
 to post the actual link here, I can be contacted in private for it).

I received the same e-mail (probably because I'm »owner« of
gnubg.org). I have no idea whether the link (learnspanishspanish.com)
is serious and also don't know whether it will cost additional fee
(besides the auction). Gnubg.org is hosted by a German provider for

Hi folks, 

Christian Liebe-Harkort has created the page www.checkerplay.com for

Hi Achim, 


I'm not exactly sure what your point is, but since the correct 2ply
move falls outside the 0.160 limit of the normal move filter used at
0ply, it is never evaluated at 2ply.


The point is not a technical bug but the fact that gnubg totally 
misevaluates a position at 0ply that actually should be handled easily. 

I put some more positions at http://www.acepoint.de/index.php?id=37. This

Another idea is to open a section at www.gnubg.org that can be filled by

[Bug-gnubg] Package for MacOS

2008-05-09 Thread Achim Mueller

Hi folks,

I'm planning to make packages for MacOS 10.5 now. There is one  
important question: Shall I put all necessary libraries into the  
package also? This will lead to a unpacked size of around 70 mb, but  
on the other side people don't have to take care of any dependencies  
besides X11.

2008-04-13 Thread Achim Mueller
* boomslang [EMAIL PROTECTED] [080413 18:00]:
 Hi,
 
 I downloaded gnubg-0.16-devel-20080319-NOGLADE-setup.exe (23,437,895 bytes) 
 to my desktop PC and installed it on a memory stick (attached to the desktop 
 PC) to see if it would run on my dual core LAPTOP. That worked fine, so i 
 decided to install the file on my laptop in a folder 'c:\gnubgMT' (the file 
 was still on the memory stick). 
 
 Installation seemed to have worked, but when i remove the memory stick, the 
 installation will not run: it gives an error message like Could not load 
 E:\gnubg\fanfare.wav and then it crashes. So somehow it still wants to 
 access the memory stick (E:) for data.
 
 Uninstalling and re-intalling (WITHOUT the mem stick attached) gives the same 
 problem each and every time. I just cant seem to install it properly now.  
 (Something to do with the registry?)
 
 Laptop runs on Windows XP Professional version 2002 SP2.
 
 Greetings and keep up the good work, 

Look for c:\gnubgMT\.gnubgautorc, open it with an editor and replace the
paths E:\gnubg with your correct path.

[Bug-gnubg] New packages for Mac OSX

2008-04-11 Thread Achim Mueller
Hi again,

after successfully compiling gnubg now with all options enabled I have a
few questions regarding the packages.

1. Can someone implement Michaels changes into cvs, please?

2. Putting gnubg into the Macports is no no big deal, but how do we
provide a simple package?

 - static build?
 - only gnubg and the users have to take care of the dependencies?
 - gnubg with all additionally libraries in one package (similar to the
   windows build)? If the latter, what additonal libraries are needed?

3. What paths do we use as default? 
 
 - /opt/local (like the Macports)
 - /Applications (mostly native Leopard applications
 - /usr/local (more unix like)

4. Michael, do you take care of the Mac OSX 10.4 build?

Ciao

Achim


PS. I'm pretty busy this weekend (25th anniversary of passing Abitur,
big party in my former home town), so I'll probably work on it earliest
on monday.

 One question I have, and it may have been related to the pango fix. Where
 did you install Fink? Is it in a directory that happens to contain .a
 (Without the quotes) somewhere in the path? I seem to recall now the pango
 issue may have been because I was building into a path that has GnuBG.app in
 the middle of it (/Applications/GnuBG.app/Contents/MacOS/fink). I think
 there was a SED bug in a script that incorrectly transforms the .a in the
 middle to something else (The intent was that they were trying to rename
 some files with .a extensions to .la .

Fink is in /sw, pango in /sw/include/pango-1.0/.
 
 If you have installed fink into a place other than the default you could try
 seeing what happens if you build using the default install paths.

I didn't change anything.

 Hi Achim,

 when you get things working, perhaps you could add to the INSTALL file with 
 instructions for people wanting to build gnubg on macs.

Besides 3D and threads everthing is fine so far. There are two options
to make a package:

1. Macports - there is no maintainer yet, so I'll probably take
maintainership of the port. Gnubg will be installed in /opt then.

2. There is an option of making an install archive (for less experienced
users), but I'm not sure about the paths yet.

 Regarding pangocairo, my previous post on buidling OS/X indicated this as
 well. Glad I wasn't the only one. The problem is in Pango autoconf process
 as I recall. It incorrectly determines that cairo isn't installed (And I bet
 you had it installed), so then it builds pango without the pangocairo
 component. I'll have to look at my older build to determine what change it
 was that I made to pango but the fix wasn't major.

With Macports it compiled now ... all I did was installing readline ...

I'll do some checks this week and will also figure out how to make a
decent package of it.

[Bug-gnubg] Re: Help with GnuBG documentation

2008-03-30 Thread Achim Mueller
Hi Myshkin,

* Myshkin LeVine [EMAIL PROTECTED] [080330 14:12]:
 Hello Achim,
For a while I have been meaning to write to you to ask 
 if there is any 
 way I could be of assistance to you in maintaining the GnuBG documentation. 

did you really send an e-mail to me? Sorry, somehow it got lost then.

 I read recently in my bug-gnubg mailing list digest that the GnuBG group 
 would probably be needing some help with things that non-programmers could 
 do in preparation for the release of version 1.0. I would like to offer my 
 help in any way that I can. I have been using GnuBG for a while now and I 
 would like to be able to help the project in some way. I am a native 
 english speaker, so one thing I could help with might be proofreading of 
 the english help text. That's just one idea. If you know of some way that I 
 could help, please let me know.

That would be great. Especially a native english speaker is needed. I
just started to get an overview about the current documents and think
about reorganizing the documentation a little bit.

There is

1) All about Gnu (allaboutgnu.xml, help - Gnubg Manual (allabout) )
2) The F.A.Q (on the webpage)
3) The command line help (help - commands)
4) The former info files (gnubgdb.xml, help - Gnubg Manual (web) )
5) A wiki (on the webpage)

Alberts allaboutgnu is great, we should keep it as a fine tutorial
The f.a.q. needs some work, I collected a lot of questions from the
mailing-list or some boards (gammonu, bgonline) and will extend it. The
manual (former info files) definitely needs a lot of work. The wiki
should be for plain users, maybe we make some announcements here and
there.

I suggest you begin with Albert Silvers All about Gnu. Maybe you look
for misspellings and wrong phrases. Also make a note where (in your
opinion) his document could be extended. I think of multi-thread, new
screenshots, the database function, predefined rollouts, etc.

Let me know if you need any further assistance. And thanks again for
your offer.

 It is just the linker that is confused and since opengl is linked in

 indirectly unless it runs with the nvidia drivers and nvidia opengl

 Hi Achim,
 
 I've seen this kind of error before. It means that your nvidia and
 normal opengl setup has been mixed up. Nothing much we can do from
 this end as the include and lib paths are setup automatically. I'm
 guessing that suse tries to allow easy switching between normal opengl
 and nvidia opengl and that you are linking against a wrong lib. Report
 upstream or try the official nvidia .run driver :)

You were right:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] gnubg $ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.*
/usr/lib/libGL.la
/usr/lib/libGL.so - libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 - libGL.so.1.0.9755
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.9755

belongs to Mesa

[EMAIL PROTECTED] gnubg $ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL*
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 - libGL.so.169.09
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.169.09

belongs to Nvidia.

After linking /usr/lib/libGL.so to /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 it
compiled.

What will happen when I make a rpm based on Nvidia and someone has
either only Mesa or an ATI card with their libs?

 The translations are the biggest problem. cs, it and de are largely

 Off the beaten path a bit - I wanted to finally address my pet peeve with
 GammonEmpire in reference to GnuBG. I have been known to give out the GnuBg
 url to people but I occasionally give it incorrectly as GnuBG.com . What
 bugs me is that Gammonempire/Play65 etc are cybersquatting and attempting to
 profit from our products name and line their own pockets. Now maybe we are
 getting kickbacks or a percentage of their profits to further our
 development?
 
 Technically cybersquatting is illegal when it Is done so to generate
 revenue. You can't tell me GammonEmpire/Play65 just so happened to choose
 that domain for some other reason. Now before people say its an isolated
 incident, I also noticed that they also own netgamon.com . Here they rely on
 a common typo. How many more they have I don't know.
 
 Does this irk anyone else besides me?

I have a question regarding the sqlite database:

Is it possible to sync databases on different computers? I used a db on
my notebook and wanted to copy it to my pc, but though relational test

 It should work I guess, unless you have incompatible versions. If it is
 a one-time problem you could dump the database as text on one computer
 and import the text file on the other. If you want true synchronization
 you are probably better of using a real database server like mysql.

One step further:

1. With no existing database gnubg creates an empty file after
relational test but complains

(No game) relational test
Database table check failed!
The table gnubg.match is missing.
(No game)

2. When running python database.py or (whithin gnubg) load python
database.py I get no output at all.

3. When running sqlite ace.db  gnubg.game.sql it creates the
structure, but something seems to be missing, because I still get the
same error message after relational test

(No game) relational test
Database table check failed!
The table gnubg.match is missing.

So I took the windows database, renamed it and gnubg was satisfied. But
when I try a sqlite command like sqlite ace.db .dump it complains
Unable to open database ace.db. file is encrypted or is not a 
database.

Does anyone uses linux _and_ sqlite and can send me a dump of an empty
database?

 According to plans of the German parties CDU, CSU and SPD, from 2008
 onwards it will be possible to trace who has contacted whom via
 telephone, mobile phone or e-mail for a period of six months. In the
 case of mobile calls or text messages via mobile phone, the user's
 location will also be logged. Anonymising services will be prohibited.
 
 So a lot of German sites has put up this notice prior to entering the
 actual site. Similar to what was done to convince lawmakers not to pass
 laws allowing software patents.

Exactly! Perhaps it's worth mentioning that this passed law is based on
a EU guideline which forces all members of the EU to convert the content
of the guideline into national law. Also the UK ;-). Regarding the use
of the www it's also not clear, whether only pure connection data (ISP -
customer) or also e.g. http connections will be saved. The guideline 
and the German law is pretty (intentionally?!) blurred.

An additonal note: There will be another contract between 52 countries
called Cybercrime-Convention. Part of the contract will be the
exchange of data (including the above mentioned data retention). 1984 is
history!

But I'll check whether there is an English version of this protest note.
Before I published the one you just see I sent e-mails to a few core

Subject: your game as 2-/multi-player in the messenger
Hello

I write to you because of your open source game, want to know, if it
could develop, that it is a 2-player game or even multi-player game.

Then I want to ask, if you can build it into this serverless Instant Messenger:
In the personal chat window, there could be a button to launch your
application for the two persons/friends chatting (so your game might
have different language as c++/Qt):

http://retroshare.sf.net

Though the messenger is serverless, the IP of the friend is found
every session again, even if dynamically changed, because a
Distributed hash Table has been build in.

So for a 2-Player variante it might be interesting?

Thanks for a feedback, if you can developt it so, to get the IP of a
two player version over this communication layer of the messenger.
Kind regards Mike

Re: [Bug-gnubg] cause of the partygammon import bug

* Misja Alma [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070909 18:06]:
 Hi,
 
 Despite of my limited knowledge of C (My profession is Java programmer) I
 think I found the cause and the location of the PartyGammon bug.
 It is at the lines 3523 and 3524 (those were the line numbers in the
 snapshot of 6-9-2007) of  the file import.c,  in the procedure
 ConvertPartyGammonFileToMat.
 The new matchscores are calculated here by adding pGame.s1 and pGame.s2 to
 the old scores. However, pGame.s1 and s2 contain absolute matchscores, not
 the points won.
 This explains why the first game of the match is always imported correctly,
 the old scores were still zero so the absolute score is also the difference.
 So the lines 3523 and 3524 should be:
 s1 = pGame-s1;
 s2 = pGame-s2;
 
 I changed this at my own pc and now the import works.

I've commited your fix at the cvs. Thanks Misja.

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Double Decisions

2007-08-22 Thread Achim Mueller
* Peter Carlson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070822 15:23]:
 I dont really have any precise data.  It's more of a feeling.  Obviously if 
 gnu thinks it is in a losing position it wont offer a 
 double.  I guess what my main point was that once gnu offers, if you press 
 hint, the hint will  75% of the time - based upon actual 

One of the weird things a neural net like gnubg is that these bots offer
nearly perfect doubles. If you are offered a double and the bot didn't
roll a marketloser before you can almost always be sure it's a close
take, otherwise a pass.

 game playing - advise you to take the double.  Then almost 100% of the time 
 I'll lose, following the hints for every play.  For 
 example:
 
 gnu offers double
 hint says take, so I take
 gnu rolls and plays
 I roll and press hint and I have *usually* less then 20% chance of winning.  
 I follow each hint for every roll and I end up losing. 
 So again the real question is would gnu offer a double if it didn't think it 
 was in a significantly better position to win.  And if 
 it is in a better position to win, which I have to believe it is, why would 
 the hint offer to take?

If you use hint all the time this is a good way to see how a certain 
position develops. This will help your understanding of the game. That
was the good news. Now to the bad news:

Better do a rollout and let the computer play both sides. If you really
want meaningful numbers you need _at least_ 108 games (from the good old
days where rollouts were performed on a real backgammon board), better
1296. So play a certain position 1296 times, record every result and
then come back.

 Sounds like a good idea. Though you have to think of a method for
 choosing which candidate moves to rollout.

See below, a user can mark all interesting positions he wants to rollout
with !?.
 
 
  Some time ago we had !? ! and !! besides the questionmarks. Is ti
  possible to get them back into the code or - better - onyl the !? for

 Perhaps we should go all the way and allow the user to make custom marks.
 
  Is it also possible to extend the next marked command with the
  argument of the type of mark, like next marked !?
 
 
 Certainly.

That's good. Then one can use either a pyhton script, where all next
marked !? will be rolled out, or we think about implementing a batch
rollout of certain marked moves. The latter would be easier to use for

[Bug-gnubg] bug: no more rollouts

2007-07-26 Thread Achim Mueller
Hi again,

the rollouts don't work anymore. When you start a rollout, no matter
whether at command line or gui it finishes the rollouts at e.g. 0/648 or
-1/648 (command line). With the sources from 09.07. it's still ok, so I
assume there is something wrong in rollout.c. Christian?

[Bug-gnubg] Featurerequest: next marked

2007-07-26 Thread Achim Mueller
Hi again,

yesterday I was talking with Oystein about some flagged rollouts. I
have some ideas regarding a python script and doing batch rollouts in
combination with next marked. 

Some time ago we had !? ! and !! besides the questionmarks. Is ti
possible to get them back into the code or - better - onyl the !? for
interesting decision?

Is it also possible to extend the next marked command with the
argument of the type of mark, like next marked !?

[Bug-gnubg] Featurerequest: command line rollout

2007-07-26 Thread Achim Mueller
A second one ;-) ...

The command line rollout probably uses the hint command, not the
analysis. Is it possible to change it? The advantage would be that
rollouts are saveable directly within the sgf file then.

 Don't we know that truncated rollouts for cube decisions are 
 susceptible to considerable evaluation systematic uncertainty?
 (I never trust a truncated rollout on a cube decision, but I'm
 pretty hardcore.  :)  By making that one of the default options
 does it build a false sense of security for the user who may
 not know this?

Afaik this problem only occurs when you use odd truncation and even
plies or vice versa (according to a statement by Daniel Murphy). I did a
lot of truncated rollouts of positions and few of them also with 2ply
full but didn't experience any substantial odds besides those where
truncated _and_ full rollouts showed that 2ply eval was wrong.

 and won (with 2 friends) the team event on sunday, in a 70+ lineup of 
 teams
 (3 5pt matches played at same time by the 3 members of each team) with all
 the big (and small) players (the tournament was for free, with 1500E and
 3 watches for the winning team and, most of all, it's very funny to play 
 team).

Congrats! A shame that we didn't met at sunday. We lost in the round of
last 16 (our team was called a lot of cheese with sauerkraut (two
Dutch and one German plyaer) ...
 
 More for the pride than for the prize, but still ... my friends are 
 speculating we
 may call ourselves the Backgammon World Champion Team 2007 ... I'm not
 sure (5pt matches ?), but ...

The main torunament itself is also no official world championship but
organized by a private person. So ... congrats again ;-).

 This was about the result I would expect in a match series. The point is
 that the positions where GNU Backgammon outperforms Snowie is more
 frequent than the positions where Snowie outperforms GNU Backgammon.
 
 Would anyone estimate the standard deviation of these numbers?

If sqrt(a*b/1000) is correct than it's:


std.err   sigma  confidence
gnubg/bgb=   15.79 2.28  ==  98,8% 
gnubg/snowie =   15.81 1.39  ==  91,8%
gnubg/jelly  =   15.5311.98  == 100,0% (well, nearly) 

snowie/bgb   =   15.81 0.51  ==  69,5%
snowie/jelly =   15.64 9.21  == 100,0% 

bgb/jelly=   15.77 4.31  == 100,0%


So we can be quite sure that jellyfish will be beat by all other
bots, we can be quite confident that gnubg is better than bgb, we can be
a little confident that gnubg is better than snowie. 

Am I right ith these numbers?

 With gnubg/Jelly we have p = .593 (estimated win percentage) and N =
 1000. The 95%  confidence interval is [.562,.623], so we can be sure
 gnubg is better.
 
 gnubg/bgb p=.519 and the interval is [.487,.55] so you can't say gnubg
 is better than any of the others.

I understand your calculation, but what is wrong with mine? I took the
binominal distribution and my numbers seem to be correct, aren't they?

sqrt(519*481/1000) = sqrt(249,639) = 15.799

actual result(+38)/sigma(15.799) = 2.4 (oops, in my first calculation I 
took +36, damn).

2.4 --- 99.18% confidence that the same set of 1000 25p matches will 
produce a win for gnubg. Ok, I miscalculated it, but this is even more 
in favour of gnubg.

 Even if gnubg wins a match only 49.5%, in a set of 1000 matches there
 is more than 5% chance that gnubg wins 519 of them. that what 95% (one
 sided) confidence interval means.

I guess I got it now. I probably was mislead by an article of Chuck
Bower in GOL were he described std.err as sqrt(a*b/1000) and sigma as
(a-b)/std.err (which is probably wrong).

I just had a chat with Douglas Zare. He says that sigma should be
0.5(a-b)/std.error. In other words, don't take the difference between
both bots, but between a bot and the mean (which is 500 here).

If that's correct - I'm not sure and a bit puzzled now - we get the
following numbers:

gnu/jelly   5.88100.0%
gnu/snowie  0.69 51.0%
gnu/bgb 1.20 77.0%

bgb/jelly   2.15 96.8%

This definitely makes more sense. Sorry for the confusion.

 Standard error may be informative, but statistical importance matters
 more to me. I think it is clear you tell gnubg is better than Jelly
 from those number, but nothing more.

Well, I wrote a lot of nonsense today (my statistic lessons are 20 years
ago), but what about this conclusion:

gnubg 1623 over all wins
bgblitz 1519 overall wins

j.s.d = sqrt(27.3+27.3 + 27.38*27.38) ~ 54.6

(1623 - 1519)/54.6 ~ 1.90

1.90 -- 97.1% confidence that in the overall competition (1 bot against
three bots) gnubg is better than bgblitz. That's one way we compare the 
reliability of move rankings, so it should be right here also, shoudn't 
it?

 I am not sure what you try to show here, but if we can't show that
 gnubg is individually better than bgb or sn, the likelihood it is
 better than both is still harder to show

Then in other words: you talk about the likelihood of _one_ bot being
better or not in a direct competition to another bot (a match or a set 
of matches between two certain bots). This is like a tennis match 
between two players.

I talk about the likelihood of a bot being better compared to another 
bot in a contest, where both bots play each other _and_ two other bots. 

This is like a football league. I want to know, whether Bayern Munich is
signifant better than Werder Bremen in case Bayern has scored 72 out of 
102 points and Werder has scored only 59 in the same amount of 34 games.
No matter how the direct matches were Bayern - Bremen 6:0; 6:0 or 0:6;
2-1 or whatever.

Even if two teams play 1:1 and 2:2 within a season it might be that one
team scores _significant_ more points than the other and also receives
the title and the cup.

Same occurs in this bot shootout. Gnubg scored 1623, bgblitz 1519. The
direct set of 1000 matches has no statistical meaning. The difference of
104 point might have. Do you see the point now?

Re: [Fwd: Re: [Bug-gnubg] Installation problem - 0.16 instead the wanted 0.15]

2007-07-04 Thread Achim Mueller
* Hardy Hübener [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070704 07:47]:
 Thanks Christian,
 
 my main confusion is, that I did a absolutly NEW, FRESH installation of 
 GNUBG (supposed to be 0.15): Deleted the older versions before, 
 installed the file gnubg-0.15-stable-20061119-setup.exe, which I got 
 from the download section of the GNUBG website, from the link that was 
 pointing to the 0.15 stable version. And the programm that is running 
 after that installation is version 0.16!!??!!??
 
 So your downgrade hints don't help me much :-(
 
 The download archive for the 0.15 version (on the windows download site) 
 seems to contain 0.16 elements!

Are you sure about this? How big is the binary? And do you see MT
support when you open Settings - options -other?

 Frank Berger made an announcement at gammonu and bgonline.org that 
 someone made a simulation of 1000 25p matches with gnubg, snowie bgblitz
 and jellyfish. Results will be published today.
 
 I'm not sure whether he described correctly, how the gnubg setup setup
 was, but it might be that gnubg has used zadeh met as default.
 
 For this is the worst met of all - I estimated at least 2% worse than
 snowie met - my suggestion is to use either g11 or mec26 as default met.

Is it enough to change this line in matchequity.c?

 While I totally agree the default should be at least mec26, It is hard
 to believe 2%. where did you get this figure?

I made a long simulation of snowie.met vs woolsey met 10,000 5p matches,
it was 51.7% - 48.3%. A smaller simulation of snowie.met vs. zadeh.met
(1,000 matches) showed 52.4% - 47.6%. I agree that this sample isn't big
enough, but it was big enough for not trusting zadeh.met anymore.

Didn't you also make a _very_ long simulation comparing mets?

 The default is set in gnubg.c somewhere. I changed it to g11 at some
 point, but I cannot remember if it was done for 0.15 as well and if
 somebody has the zadeh saved in their gnubgautorc that takes priority.
 
 Christian.

In gnubg.c it's:

fprintf( pf, set matchequitytable \%s\\n, miCurrent.szFileName );

so it should be changed in matchequity.c, shoudn't it?

 Yes, but I played each set of dice rolls twice, identical rolls but
 swapped. This handles the variance better, and I could not find a
 large difference if I recall correctly.

I made a printout of doubling windows for the different equity tables.
Just a few examples:


Snowie   Zadeh
n3 - n2   (1)  57,7 - 73,0  55,3 - 71,7
n3 - n4   (1)  37,8 - 62,5  41,5 - 65,9   !!
n4 - n2   (1)  65,8 - 81,2  63,3 - 79,4   !!
n4 - n4   (1)  50,0 - 72,0  50,0 - 70,9
n4 - n4   (2)  50,0 - 66,4  50,0 - 67,7 

The results of gnubg matches against itself with different mets must
somehow reflect these differences.

I'll check whether I can do a longer simulation of gnubg(g11) -
gnubg(zadeh) here at work. Do you still have the framework of your
rollouts?

 Is it possible to plot the moves vs the equity value?
 
 Following the post at
 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnubg/2007-05/msg00067.html this
 is not possible, right?
 I know this from chess GUIs and it's really interesting and helpful.
 I'd love to see this and a pip-graph as proposed several years ago as
 well (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnubg/2004-07/msg00069.html).
 Just my feature request of this wonderful piece of software! :)

I think this should be possible with a little bit of python scripting
and gnuplot. Oystein and me planned to do some scritping after I return
from Monte Carlo. Let's see.

 Hi Achim,
 I've built a new distrib, it's available on www.gnubg.org. 

Great, thx.

 Code snapshot is latest available (20070703). Multi-thread exes
 are also available to download (at least 1 important bug in them, 

Yep, after all I discovered it ;-). I'll probably write a README and put

[Bug-gnubg] Gtk-Critical

Hi folks,

sometimes I get this error message at the command line:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_progress_set_percentage: assertion `percentage =
0  percentage = 1.0' failed

After that gnubg very often is unusable and has to be killed manually.
It mostly happens during or after a n analysis/rollout.

[Bug-gnubg] MT/SMP bug disappeared??!

2007-07-03 Thread Achim Mueller
Hi folks,

weird things are going on. I made a few tests with a certain position
regarding the MT bug (standard error no/double).

I played a moneygame (attached, it's not that bad ;-) ) and made the
following rollouts at the redouble/take position:

Current snapshot, all rollouts 2-ply, cube 2ply, 108 games, untruncated, 
dice Mersenne Twister, seed 1, I restarted gnubg after each rollout!

1) Twice at the take with one processor
2) Twice at the take with two processors
3) Twice at the double with one processor
4) Twice at the double with two processors

Here are the numbers:

nd  std.err   takestd.error

1a  +0.569  0.013 +0.6540.033
1b  exactly the same results (what I expected) 

2a  +0.569  0.046 +0.6540.033
2b  +0.569  0.045 +0.6540.033 

3a  exactly the same as 1a and 1b
3b  exactly the same as 1a and 1b

4a  +0.569  0.048 +0.6540.033
4b  +0.569  0.046 +0.6540.033

Question 1: The std.error is not shown as big as it was when I first
noticed it, but it's still a little bit higher than with using only one
processor. Why?

Question 2: It differs! Why? I expected the same numbers because of the
same seed.


Assumption 1: The rollout results themselves seem to be reliable (well,
somehow), but I'll crosscheck this with other positions also.

Assumption 2: Richard Stallman did issue the blessing on gnubg after we
shifted to GPLv3 ;-).

If someone wants to debug this, I have saved all rollouts and results.

Ciao

Achim

PS. The behaviour, that gnubg with 2 threads somehow freezes (without
error message at the command line) when stopping a rollout in between
still remains.
