Go up one level in this thread




Enrique,

I understand your feelings that this tourney has dragged on and
on for too long, but I would ask you to reconsider my request!
It is very valuable to know if updated versions are better than
previous ones.  Instead of some of the SSDF "lesser" programs
that you are running, I would love to see what HA6, and Rebel9
would do in this tourney.  (An argument could be made for CG5
as well).

I know....you could say that where does it end?  Should I run
all 100 versions of crafty :)  !!  But the above 2 programs would
do the chess computer community a great service by suggesting
whether chess engine knowledge is tapped out now.  You have a very
powerful machine, and it would be good to see the "experiment"
run under the same conditions.  I hope you will reconsider.

Maybe other readers would agree with me?
