Subject: Looking for a good range of amateur engines to play around with....

Hey all,

I have finally made some progress on my own chess AI. Apart from a few niggling
bugs which I hope to erradicate soon, my program is finally able to play a
reasonable game of chess.

Now I am curious to find out how good a 'reasonable' this actually is. To do
this, I was planning on running a good fifty or so games against AI's of
1700-2300 strength.

Just wondering if I could get some recommendations of some well implemented,
stable Winboard engines which others have found helpful to tuning their
programs.

What I am particularly looking forward to is how my program will compare with
programs with very good positional evaluation functions. My evaluation, although
fast, is definately rather "coarse-grain" to put it nicely. :) I am also looking
forward to seeing how much extra performance my opening book gives.

Thanks,
Joel Veness
