Francesca (M.A.D.) is rather strong IMO. I'd wanted to test it but I wasn't able to do that ;-( The engine seems not to play from setup positions, right ? For all the other mentioned engines it seems to me that this test suite is too hard for them. The WM-Test was designed by the test authors Gurevich/Schumacher for engines with playing strength in a range of 2500 - 2800 ELO (look at the attached readme file) - in this point of view (ELO >=2500) I shouldn't have tested many of these 112 engines... :-) Last but not least: One engine in WM-Test means over 33 hours testing ! BTW: In older test suites (BS-2830, BS-2001) I've tested (older versions of) Arasan, EXchess, InmiChess, KnightX, Ant, Faile... Regards, Manfred
