Go up one level in this thread


I am using the books from Amy's homepage, or from Frank's page for Yace and Amy.
 Likewise with Comet.  Crafty will be using the book that Crafty uses on the
ICC.  LG2000 will use the book from its home page.  I haven't been too creative
with the opening books.

:)

So far in Yace vs Anmon:

Yace has 0 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw and game 3 looks pretty level.

What problems do you see with Olithink?  I haven't had that many problems with
it in the past.

Hmmm. I may put the newer ones in the next group and if they do well enough,
they can go in to this group.  I based these pairings on a database of some 15k
games.
