Hi all, I have done lots and lots of icc testing in blitz such as 5-3 and 4-3. The best anti human engine at those time controls is s9.1/ds9.1 uci. Junior/dj9 is not at all the best, certainly not on default. Fruit 2.2 is about 140 elo weaker in 4-3 then in 10+10 and is especially amicable to draws vs humans in blitz. Hiarcs9 is ok. The best by far is s9.1/ds9.1 with my custom settings:). S8 was also very good anti human. Fritz9 allows lots of draws also! It just plays too darn slow no matter what settings I have tried. However, the most important factor by far, perhaps even more so then the engine is which opening book I use. I constantly have to tear out drawn/overly static positions and doing this a lot has helped my results the most. DS9.1 custom, 4+3 on athlon 2.55 ghz, with tb's. Smashed a 2650 FIDE super gm 6.5-0.5, his icc rating was 3050 at the time. Shredder8 also had the exactly same results in years past!
