I'd be interested to know which of those engines you'd consider weaker than
Crafty. Remember I'm not running 64 bit.
I tried to choose the best engines based on my own experiences plus perusing the
various rating lists available.
However, undertaking such a selection is always going to open to debate no
matter which engines are chosen   :-)

I excluded Zappa 1.1 rightly or wrongly due to the fact that the latest version
was originally intended for commercial release and is now private.
Others unlucky to make the cut were Crafty and Green Light Chess.
I wondered whether or not GLC is actually still being developed. I suspect not,
but could be wrong.

Anyway, if Thinker 5.0 is released during the tournament, I'll add it plus
Crafty also.

Regards, Graham.
