Go up one level in this thread


I really don't recall what the exact rating of the program was at -e10, because
I run other engines as well, and test some engines for authors. So the rating of
my computer account, Loadedgun, is confounded. I suspect it played about 1900.

What I like about Phalanx at this setting is that it responds IMMEDIATELY to the
human's move, which really freaks some people out and gives it an interesting
style.
