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
