Perhaps next year we should do an online King of Kings Tournament where we can test our created best personalities against each other and include standard personalities as well to see what happens in real match situations.
Therefore I would suggest that we keep our personalities to ourselves for one year and disclose them to everyone on January 1, 2020. So that should keep us busy and active creating personalities for a while.
These tests below are all at 30 Seconds per move. If someone wants to do a different time setting the please disclose and we can track these separately to compare at different time settings.
To play the test it is easy. You start with 2 player mode until you enter the moves to the test start positions. The you cease two player mode and press enter button to start King Thinking. You play each white and black move by using the Take Back button when you have to and the enter button to start King thinking. Please be consistent so the scores can be measure accurately, you play with each move white then black then white then black and so on.
Anway to kick this off here is a first personality that I created with their test scores. The personalities that I create I am going to name by States in the United States. So the first personality is King of Alaska:
King of Alaska
King of Alaska did not do too bad, it finished ahead of three of the five built in personalities. Game 5 seems to be Alaska's nemesis preventing it from scoring better.
The next one is King of Arizona...
King of Arizona
King of Arizona seems to be a bit more balanced in this royal game, but perhaps a little conservative. King of Arizona does seem to be a stronger ruler than King of Alaska, but still a ways behind being able to battle it out for world supremancy with King Active.
King MV
Micha at Schachcomputer.Info in order to promore interest posted a style of his. He named it MV. For this one Micha showed how he created the style so this one is is helpfully for you to study and perhaps inspire you to create your own.
King MV is a bit of a conservative King and I am pretty sure that this trait has helped him to consolidate his territories and as you can see King MV has its eyes firmly set on overthrowing King Active, but King MV is not quite there since in Test Game 1 King MV got smacked around a bit.
OK since alphabetically speaking the States in USA start with Alabama and I live in Alabama, I withheld the best to last. Here are the results of the non-conforming upstart King of Alabama:
King of Alabama
Well the non conforming upstart King of Alabama decided to smack everyone around and set his goal to be the supreme ruler of all Kings from the get go and handily dethrones King Active to become supreme ruler of all!
Anyway if you are having fun creating your personalities, then please post your scores here using the same tests. And remember January 1, 2020 we disclose the settings as by disclosing here, you are also hereby committed to playing a Tournament of Kings next year!!
Ho! Ho! Ho! and a Merry Christmas to everyone.
