Hi Madhavan, First of all, this isn't the first ever FRC code. The first ever FRC code was Glaurung 0.2.4, released a few weeks ago. :-) On July 16, 2005 at 08:14:44, Madhavan wrote: >I hope there will be more engines supporting FRC >Does Glaurung do better than Gothmog. In normal chess, it does. According to my own tests, Glaurung 0.2.4 is about 100 Elo points stronger than Gothmog 1.0 beta 10. This agrees extremely well with the AEGT/CEGT ratings, where Glaurung 0.2.4 is currently exactly 100 points ahead (2601 vs 2501). In FRC, nobody knows. I cannot do any FRC testing myself. >Is the engine code different to Gothmog? Very different, yes. >what's the strength of Scatha,If I'm right that Scata won't work on windows There is a simple text-mode interface that should work in Windows, but it is too crude to be useful for anything more than development. The strength is difficult to estimate, because I have no strong opponents to test against. Subjectively, it feels even stronger than Glaurung, but this might be because I play hexagonal chess even worse than normal chess. Scatha has very little endgame knowledge and is probably weak in this phase of the game, but I can't tell because I never survive until the endgame. Tord
