Bringer can use tablebases. I suggest to use at least the 4-piece endgame tables, which are ~30 MB. If you don't want to download that much, there's also a free generater program available, i.e. from ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/ The Hiarcs 7.32 had a generator too, with Windows GUI. > Under options, you can set the playing strength, with the highest > setting at 2400. Would this be about right? In a large rating list (BfF-Liste by CSS-Magazine) which consists of games played on PCs ranging from Duron 900 MHz to Dual-P3/1 GHz at blitz to medium time controls, Bringer 1.8 is listed with 2.350 (80 games). For comparison, on that list Tiger 14 has 2.610 and Crafty 18.10 has 2.475; Bringer ranks 20...30 elo below Comet and AnMon engines. In my old test suite with mostly easy positions (and a few difficult ones), Bringer 1.8 solved more than some top engines! - But in general, it was somewhat slower than those. Fischer - Gligoric [B57], 1959 [D]2r3k1/pp1b1p2/1q1pp1p1/2r3Pn/4P3/1BN2Q2/PPP5/1K1R3R w - - 0 26 26.Rxh5 Bringer 1.8 needed 2:11 on P3/700 to find this, which is a good result. Regards, M.Scheidl
