Subject: Faile 1.1.4 in tournament - and why Lara Croft doesn't fail

Hi gang,

I couldn't resist the temptation to look how Faile 1.1.4 would do against other
"weaker" engines. So I ran a very small 5,0 blitz tournament with Exchess
(3.51), Docter (3.0), Faile, LG2000, Comet (B22) and odd man out Nimzo '99, very
bad at blitz time controls.

The results surpirsed me, Exchess winning. You can look at the tournament at my
website (http://zip.to/jeroen and go to the games section on the page, where
you'll see the link. It's a hughe page, so take your time. 30 games PGN
downloadable, Nimzo opening book, all 16Mb Hash, comp= PII@450MHz-320Mb RAM,
Interface= Fritz 6a)

A nice game between the winner and Nimzo '99 where both Nimzo (black) and
Exchess (white) played a few tactical moves I would find in a lifetime, playing
h3 instead of taking the rook at a1. Well, they maybe "weak" but I'm weaker :)


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
*off topic*

For those who aren't interested in engine tournaments I offer something else of
interest.
Even before the release of Lara Croft's "Tomb Raider V (Chronicles)" this fall

I know how Lara escaped her tomb prison. (I sound like Sam Sloan)

Go to my homepage at http://zip.to/jeroen, go to the miscellanious section and
click on "how lara escaped". It *is* a screenshot from TR4, but if you see the
way Lara performs this incredible act facing a *closed* door, you'll understand
she hasn't got any problems with massive walls.

Enjoy, don't tell everybody. Keep the secret.
