I was recently sent the winboard version of this program. And I must say thus far I am very displeased. Using it via Winboard in ICS play it has dropped roughly 300 points in blitz, 230 points in lightning games, and 80 in standard games. There have been about 530 games played thus far. I am using an Athlon XP 2000+, 256 m hash tables, and the program still does not use tablebases. This has been the cause of many losses I have seen. The account runs mostly unattended, so I don't watch most games. The account used to use Crafty and maintained a rating of 2650 on FICS, but since switching to Goliath is has dropped below 2400 and stays there. Replaying the games in the Chess Academy interface it plays much different, and much stronger. I only purchased the product to get the Winboard edition as that is by far my favorite interface. In the CA interface the program chooses much better moves at the same time control. Does anyone else have this version, and have the same problem? Most of my opponents have been either Yace or Crafty clones.
