Subject: Winboard engines? Strongest to weakest

Author: Joshua Lee

Date: 14:33:15 08/09/00


I was wondering the strength of these programs for example i have seen Skaki
1.19 rated 1965 on the LCT II and between 1500-1800 elo From Frank's Webpage.
this can't be so. I killed this thing mercifully.

Yes the game took alot of moves but it doesn't resign under winboard and
it kept on losing on time in a 5min game.

It would help me alot if someone could make a list of programs in order from1200
to 2000elo including Skaki1.19   is this a fluke??? Are the winboard settings
that critical to make this play at much much lower than it's strength or are the
chess lessons paying off?
