I am trying to run the tournamente analisys for a local tournament of ten (10) teams...

If I have 2 rouns (10 games) it does work fine... if I try to have it done...for 5 rounds for example... it seems to be taking tooooo long... I left more than 24 hours and got nothing.

It shows it is calculating more than 800 billion variables... Is it correct to take so long?!??! It took me 4 minutes to calculate 60 thousand variables...by this rate it would take 100 years for the 800 billion.

Can anyone help me out on this one?
I am pretty sure I should be able to get this analisys done.

Thanks

That's right. Computation time roughly depends on the number of scheduled games as a power of 3, and thus may be tremendous. For example, 5 rounds for the 10-team league results in 25 scheduled games. Therefore it takes about 3^25 / 3^10 = 14 million times longer than for just 2 rounds. The number of principal variants (i.e. 1-X-2) for 25 games is as many as 3^25 ~ 847 billion.

Solution to this problem is possible by making the algorithm less accurate. This work is being in progress. There will be a user's choice between the accuracy and the computation speed.

Yep...thats exactly what I thought.

Thanks for your reply... I really would like to have the asnwer for this last 5 rounds of the tournament... but I am afraida I cannot wait for about 100 years of computation (ahahahah)

Any idea when this new feature might be released?

Thanks again

It is expected to be released within the next few months. Hopefully by the end of May or in June. Of course, this year, not 2107
