I am testing the great free engine Pro Deo 1.0 of Ed Schröder in different ways at time control 60m+10s. First of all I started with Nunn2-matches vs various engines but the results of Pro Deo were not convincing, for details have a look at the following URL: [http://www.utzingerk.com/pro_deo.htm] In the meantime the other tests, again at 60m+10s, have started with Pro Deo's own book, learning enabled and the default parameters by Ed Schröder except: [My Queen = 101] [Book Learner Expiration = OFF] * OFF | Two weeks | One week | One day | Always [Clear Hash Table = Always] * Always | Never | PB only [Time Control = 125] * 125 [Time Control Status = ALWAYS] * ALWAYS|PB ONLY [Pruning = MISC_78] * I like the parameter to clear hash table = always and so far Ed Schröder's engine is doing very well: 16,5-16,5 PD vs Fritz 80026 12,5-12,5 PD vs Ruffian 2.1.0 anyway much better results in comparison with the Nunn2- matches. Test will be continued but I am optimistic in particular as Rudolf Klamert has excellent results too vs Fritz8 and Junior8. And one further thing: with the time contol parameter chosen, Pro Deo's time management is indeed very well. Kurt
