I do not think that people consider it as extremely weak and I read post in the winboard forum that suggest the opposite see http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/messages/40886.htm In rating lists of people I can see the following data place 107 out of 162 engines in 30 minutes/game http://www.geocities.com/lyapko/rat30.htm place 118 out of 176 engines in 5 minute/40 moves http://www.geocities.com/lyapko/lgwbg.htm place 150 out of 222 versions of free winboard chess engines in 5 3 time control. http://www.digichess.gr/infiniteloop/ratings/blitz_rating_2.txt place 177 out of 221 versions of free winboard chess engines in 15 3 time control. http://www.digichess.gr/infiniteloop/ratings/rapid_rating_il2r.txt Uri
