In my latest CEGT tournament (unpublished as yet so as to avoid flooding the
Winboard Forum any further than I already do!):

Dual Athlon XP2000 (ponder off)
Shredder Classic GUI
Harry Schnapp's small CEGT book for all
128 mb hash for each engine
3-4-5 man EGTB
40 moves in 30 minutes repeating (adapted for the CEGT 40/40)
110 rounds (10 cycles)

Standings after Round 18

12.5 - Thinker 5.0b
11.5 - CM10th Ogre
10.5 - Ktulu 7.5
10.5 - CM10th Xperience
10.0 - CM10th Pestilence

PS - Lance will only release Thinker 5.0 once he's convinced that it's a
significant improvement over Thinker 4.7 (his words)
