Go up one level in this thread


My favorite chess engine so far is Phalanx20, for it seems to find most of the
correct moves in the test positions that I have set up from WinBoard...

The other nine engines that perform quite well for me in
ARENA are...

CrazyBishop

Gromit382

Nejmet_305

Yao_5

Dragon_42

SOS_Arena

WildCat_2_61

Pepito_142

SmarThink_02b
===================

Also very good are:
QueenChess

CometB42

AnMon_519

GoliathV35

QuarkCorbit

===========================

I am still waiting for the "Spider" Chess engine to be made available..it will
be my new "number one"....!!

I am sure there are many many more, and some good ones I have missed..
If you have the time, download and test as many as you can in ARENA...

Have fun with them...that is the main thing....:-)
