IMO and not just based on this one tourney, J8 is the strongest playing blitz
engine on my machine (dual 1.7 Ghz).
Deep Sjeng is good. This has to be the largest improvement on strength going
from one version Sjeng 12.13 to Deep Sjeng 1.5. It's at least 150 elo pints
stronger than the freeware version.
Rebel suffers from lack of time management - which is well known since it is
still beta.
Crafty 19.04 is extremely solid unmodified. It does have one line code of
change here. But all my other mods that works so well on 19.03 (or so it
seemed) are simply not working as well in 19.04. Except for that one line of
code. If there is interest, I will add the personlity code to 19.04 with the
one line of code and release. Email me if you are interested.
Tiger 15 in its own GUI (CP) with its own book is better IMO than CB Tiger 15.
That was not standard CM8K as mentioned previously - that was Grailmaster 2 - a
nice result,.
The King is Cm9K unmodified running in CB.
Ruffian and Shredder played their usual solid chess.
