Yes. >But Gromit belongs in neither category - it isn't availlable at all but it is >privateware. It's on the Young Talents CD. And the testing is to decide if it's a top engine, isn't it? >Is their any general policy how you select engines to be tested for your list? Not really. We got a mail from Kai Skibbe where he asked us if we were interested in testing the CB version of Gromit 3.11.9. We said yes since we didn't have any program scheduled for testing. We asked him to specify which settings he prefered and what book to use. He answered 142 MB hash, 5-men TB's and a chessbase book. When I loaded Gromit and started to play ,it so happend that it was fritz7.ctg as book. Tony >Peter
