               7 of the top free engines, each playing 288 games against the other 6; a total of 1,008 games.
 
               Match conditions: Core I7 920 at 2.66GHz using 4 cores HT off; Win 7 64 Home Premium; 6G RAM; no large pages; no end-game tablebases; 512 hash each.
 
               To accomodate Komodo and Strelka, 1 core each, ponder on.
 
               Time control is game in 2 min plus 1 second per move. The excellent "ChessGUI" is used to run the match, set to give each engine a 1/10th second "overstep" margin to help avoid any time losses.
 
               The openings are played using random choices from the "top200.pgn" created by Sedat Canbaz as part of his "perfect_2011" opening book; each opening is played as Black and White by each engine.

Hi Pal,

Good you used ChessGUI, Strelka ponder doesn't work under Fritz and Shredder GUIs...

By the way, I think that IvanHoe B46fC (Peterpan compile) is the better IvanHoe. Try it!

               Hi Ernest.  
 
                       Yes, Strelka has worked for me using ponder=on without a problem in ChessGUI.
 
                       Thanks for the IvanHoe suggestion.  I am thinking of doing an "all Ivan" tourney using the 3, 4, 5 that people think may be "best".  Let them prove it at the board, and end the guessing!

             You are welcome Gerold.  One thousand games are a lot to go through, but you never know what someone may find useful or interesting, even in these fast games.      
 
                           Take care
