Package: stockfish Version: 2.1.1+git20111006-2 Severity: minor It seems stockfish position scores are roughly twice the scores of most other engines (e.g. toga2, in Debian, and crafty, in non-free). Indeed, while the usual convention is that a 1.0 score corresponds to the material advantage of 1 pawn, stockfish awards a score between 1.5 and 2.0 for a pawn advantage in a quiet position with no compensatory factors.
I understand that the scoring algorithm must necessarily be unique to each engine, but a common convention is nonetheless useful, above all when playing 2 engines against each other and waching the evaluations. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages stockfish depends on: ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 stockfish recommends no packages.
