You can easily find 20 or 30 free Winboard or UCI engines which are stronger than Gothmog. I like to think that Gothmog has a more entertaining style of play than most of the stronger engines (though of course I am not a very objective observer), but on the other hand the Windows version is almost completely untested by me and therefore likely not to be very stable. I don't (yet) want to recommend it to a wide audience. > - your blitz results below are quite impressive. Thanks, they are certainly a lot better than for my earlier versions. > gothmog 0.3.1 is a bit weaker than my engine, but it has no chance against anmon or dragon. I guesstimate Gothmog 0.3.1 to be about 200 points weaker than my current version. >smarthink is a very very good engine and you don't lose that badly... Yes, SmarThink is extremely good, and has a very nice style of play. It is my favorite engine at the moment, and I am trying to implement ideas similar to Sergey's in Gothmog. I think I was lucky to obtain the 7-13 result against SmarThink, though, Gothmog would certainly have lost by a bigger margin in a longer match. >question: does this version have the fixed passed pawn eval? Yes. This bug fix is the main difference between 0.4.4 and 0.4.5. Tord
