A big thanks to Jorge for playing these matches! >Unfortunatelly the >results were such, that we can't conclude that Pharaon is better at FRC-Chess >than it is at Chess against Glaurung, but anyway.......What the games show is >that Pharaon is a bit stronger generally....... No, they don't even show that. For engines so close in playing strength, we need many more games to make such conclusions. The best data we have so far concerning the relative strengths of Pharaon and Glaurung is the CEGT rating list (slow time controls) http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/CEGT0507.html Pharaon 3.3 has 2594 after 93 games, while Glaurung 0.2.4 has 2593 after 126 games. Not really a big difference. :-) Of course, the margins of error are still big. The only thing we know so far is that there is not a huge difference in playing strength between the two engines in normal chess. In FRC the situation is of course even more unclear. My guess is that Pharaon is significantly stronger, because Glaurung FRC was released without any testing at all, and contains some very experimental and probably unsound evaluation settings. Tord
