Remove: List, newer versions are not compatible to UCI / WB or not available (I don't know). You forgot the complete newer generation of engines: - TheBaron - SmarThink - Knight Dreamer - Delfi - Ktulu - Green Light Chess - King of Kings I don't know how strong are Dorky or Betsy! Knight Dreamer and Delfi are very strong, not sure but maybe on Crafty level or better. >Also, what time control, hash size, and other settings? The fewer number of >engines, the longer the time control can be. I used 40/40 and 40/10! And don't forget ... newer versions of Ruffian are very very strong. After my opinion is Ruffian at the moment the number 3 (maybe Fritz and Shredder are a little bit stronger). Best Frank
