Hi, Just wanted to know how many "slow" engines are present in current computer chess world that are undergoing active development (like the programmer dusting the code every month or so ;) ) ? Here , I mean slow by design and not due to lack of good algorithms or unoptimised code. DIEP is one sure for sure , so is mine (messchess). Any others ? Basic idea - detailed qsearch , heavy move ordering , big eval , etc. Stuff that may reduce your nps. Just to give an objective comparison to differentiate the "slow" from others. On an athlon 2400xp , for a typical middle game position : slow engines Messchess about 40knps. Diep about 80knps. moderately fast to fast tiger about 250knps crafty 400 knps fritz about 500 knps Very fast Junior about 900 - 1000 knps !! :) Thanks for the info, Regards Mridul PS : Just because an engine has low nps need not directly translate to poor chess or low depth :)
