Wilkinson Ratings

After originally creating this page I changed my mind about the inclusion of self fights in the standard so this page is being converted to the new rating system, for comparison you may want to check out the old page.

Also Steve Bailey and Beppe Bezzi have published a load of ratings presumably based on the same benchmark so I'm going to include those here in brackets. Similarly if anyone has any ratings they have compiled then please send them to me, no cheating though, I will be watching ;-) Send the warriors along with your scores and they'll definetely be included

Some warriors are credited to MFCWB which of course refers to Steven Morrell's book, where an author has been named in the book then that name is used instead. I don't have the details for all the warriors so if there are uncredited authors then please contact me.

The benchmark warriors are available from Planar's archive, and the rating process I have used is simply 200 battles with each warrior, the scores are then scaled to 100 battles (i.e 0-300).

Only 2400 battles is probably too small to justify the precision I have used in the ratings, but when I get time I will run more tests to increase the accuracy.

So now the question is how the benchmark can be improved, there are only 12 warriors, probably too small for an accurate benchmark, also should the number of rounds be altered.

My opinion is that since some PSpace algorithms are designed for the hills then the number of rounds should reflect the Hills. If more rounds are to be run for increased precision then the rounds should be split into groups of 200 but if extra rounds are going to be run then I'd prefer them to be against other opponents to decrease the dependance on strategy.

Also the standard warriors appear to be pretty poor at dealing with imps, I didn't think my early programs were so weak after all they did make it to the beginners hill, most of them even made the top 10. There's probably too many strong papers and not enough good scanners, so at the moment I'm going to stop running benchmarks until a more balanced standard appears. I'd welcome any suggested additions.
