crafty and chess960 support, which engine does it?

[Spock]

Patzer 3.80 is definitely a problem at 40/4 repeating time control at FRC, try running engine matches with it, a couple of hundred games, and you'll find out.

Homer 2.xx was also a problem although I don't remember what it was. It was a pretty severe problem I think, but I'm not sure. Interesting that 1.01 and 1.02 are OK

I don't know about Cyrano and Roce. Only one way to find out, and that is to try them. That applies to them all really

I'm not interested in betas so that is why I didn't run that Toga version.

Do Cyrano and Roce play FRC ?

Roce plays (Shredder) FRC, Cyrano dont play FRC, at least the public version I tested 5 min ago

Very good, I hope to be able to run them as well at some point

I doubt that my strongest engine, BigLion, is strong enough for you to test .

Up until now that has certainly been the case. But some of the other engines in the post above will be weaker than Ayito which is currently the lowest on the list. So I expect that the list will be extended downwards, and maybe that will let BigLion it. Let's see.

[Alexander Schmidt]

Just Glaurung is missing here

BTW, in Stockfish the Chess960 support seems to be broken...

The new version number is 2.23x;) then? Or might we see a 2.23y soon? And what are you doing after 2.23z? Will the next version be 2.23za?

Sry, I am just curios if there will be a 2.24 one day

Best wishes,
