Christophe can speak for himself here, but I am sure he thinks that 11.9 is an improvement to 11.5, and by including both you are just (roughly) doubling the chance that Chess Tiger will win. I think it would be better to replace Chess Tiger 11.5 with a program by a different author. If Crafty were playing in this group, I don't think it would end up at the bottom of the crosstable. There is no particular reason not to include it, so why not do that? 16.10 is the latest version that I know of. I suggest using one of the optimized executables that Dann Corbitt has been compiling. You might fill the final spot with MChess Pro. I think you should not use CM 6000 unless you eject CM 5555, for similar reasons to what I said regarding the inclusion of Chess Tiger 11.5 and 11.9. Is Junior 5.0 the "Junior 5.32" sometimes referred to? AFAIK, Rebel 10.0a has been superceded by 10.0d (which returned some things that were stripped out between 10.0b and 10.0c.) Might as well use the latest version, unless you have a good reason not to. Dave
