Rick, In my limited engine-engine testing S7 has an edge over F8. The testing so far is three 24 game blitz matches, 5'+5" and 10'+5", with and without tablebases, each using its own book (results posted below). I’m now into game 5 of a 24 game engine-engine match using classical tournament time controls, 120'/40+60'/20+30+10". The time increment of +10" for the third time control was added just to make sure that after nearly seven hours of playing a game one engine didn’t run out of time at the end of the game. Results so far 2-2, with each engine winning one game, and two draws. I know all the criticisms of the results of engine engine matches but I have found that my engine matches and engine tournament results over the last several years’ time track the SSDF list so they are not meaningless IMHO. The problem of playing on the Playchess server is that you have no idea what processor(s) your opponents are playing with which makes the results meaningless. For instance some “deep” versions could be playing with two, four, eight processor machines. Shredder 7 is deep without the name and your opponent could be playing with a multi-processor machine on S7. I think it would be technically possible for the server to also indicate processor(s)/RAM/hash info if a user allowed access to a user’s computer. I would like to see that.
