Hi Joseph, > Can you experienced folks suggest some engines that are particularly strong > and some that are weak at the endgame? This will help us to evaluate sune's > endgame suite. I know this is a big ask but, it would be ideal to identify > an engine whose general play is stronger than its endgame play (e.g., > rybka). This way, we can tell if the endgame suite is picking up endgame > weakness in particular, as opposed to general engine weakness. Let's start with the strong ones. Maybe first is to mention Yace. In endgames it is still quite strong whereas in the middlegame it seems to lack especially some depth. Anotherone that might be even stronger in endgame then overall is Ktulu. (But that's not so clear, Ktulu is strong overall, I would say) I would give also Chess Tiger a try, especially in endgames it is IMO still one of the tops. Some other strong ones I have in mind: The King, Naum, The Baron, of course Shredder. There might be more to mention, but seems to me a good starting point. Well, who is weaker compared to overall strength ? LoopList maybe ? AnMon I would say. I have never thought about that too often... You know usually we search the strong ones, not the weaks... :) Greets, Thomas
