Hi Tanya,

My laptop is currently 3000 games into a 5280 game tournament among 33 engines.
   (Shredder8 + 32 free engines)
GUI is Arena.
Time control is 40/20 repeating.
All use same opening book d-grafen-v01__asb.abk
   (downloaded many moons ago from Arena website)
3/4 man endgame tablebases are available for engines.
   (not all support their use)
Hardware is Athlon XP 1.5 GHz

The top 9 engines at this point in the tournament have made a breakaway
 from the rest of the pack.

Standings so far:
1. Shredder8 (not free) 140.5/181
2. Spike                127.5/180
3. Prodeo               121.5/181
4. Fruit                118.5/182
5. Ruffian 1.05         118.5/181
6. List512              116.0/181
7. Slowchess            114.0/181
8. Aristarch 4.50       111.5/182
9. Pharaon              111.0/181

10. SOS                 100.0/181
11-32. Other engines with scores between SOS and Averno
33. Averno               37.0/182

I only upgraded to Fruit 2.1 about 6 weeks ago. So only about 40 of Fruit's
games have been with Fruit 2.1. Others may be a mix of 1.5 and 2.0, but mostly
2.0 I think.

I hope this information is helpful to you.

Also I am always looking to collect more strong free WB and UCI engines to run
in my Arena hobby tournaments. If anyone out there has suggestions for WB or UCI
engine that can compete, please let me know.

I already have Delfi, Thinker, LGEvolution, Naum, SmarThink, Yace Paderborn,
Glaurung, AnMon, Zappa, Tao, Amyan, Gothmog, Movei, Baron, Crafty, Abrok, Quark,
Arasan, Wildcat, Amateur, Hermann, and Frenzee (also the ones listed above in
places 1-10 and 33.

Best wishes,
John
