Igel 3.0.0 is ahead of Houdini 6 at the rating list. It's now in 3th place ( I don' t count the Stockfish clone Fat Fritz).

Congratulations to Volodymyr Shcherbyna and Dietrich Kappe.

I believe Volodymyr is producing his own nets now

I played a couple of games with my friend where rules were changed so that Queen was acting as a king. In my fairy engine it is also possible to make any piece act as King (ie that piece must be captured for a win), so i played a fair bit of games where Bishop, Knight, Rook, and a bunch of different...

So far holding pretty well.

And that win vs ECE was mind-blowing.
90% of the game i was thinking that Drofa is losing (maybe it was though)

Thank you for hosting tournament!

Wasnt Drofa in div 7 previous season ?
2.2.0 update did not give that much elo, so it would be hard not to relegate

In the chess engine i just check if there are any non-pawn pieces for the side i want to try NPM for (white have BKP, so i can do NMP; black have KPPPP, so i cant)

In my chess variant engine i just have some non-pawn-material threshold, if the side to move have more material than it, i do NMP

In vast majority of cases your engine would get a cutt-off after 1 or 2 moves tried, so sorting all moves is generally not good

Thank you for the tournaments.
So many great games, and great choice of streaming on YouTube, where it is possible to rewind stream to watch the previous game / analyze interesting position.

P.S. I must say i enjoy Drofa`s images (both for 2.1.0 and 2.0.0) every time i see them

Sadly cant join the broadcast.
Watched some of the games you posted, they are very interesting

Thanks for organizing tournament!

Thank you for testing!

To be honest, it is much higher than i thought (i was thinking it would be ~2550 at best)
I guess some of the patches have god scaling at LTC
