Still, I hope you do find some time to go up against Nezh, a coffeehouse player of amazing strength and ability, one which is equally at home in closed positions. IMO Nezh is too strong for the average player, Carl. Plays beautifully, yes, but too strong to give the average player - even strong pla...

Yes, Romi could then play the Old Indian, too!

Among the 2400 CCRL level engines, Romichess, Gaia, Gosu and Ares GB 1.1 are reputed to have more interesting styles, with some knowledge built-in. Perhaps, Tigran belongs in that group as well.

Dr. Deeb, if you're ever lacking for a real challenge, you're welcome to take on Nezh, the ultimate attacking anti-human (and anti-computer!) genius -- just click on the link in my sig below.

Hi there, To Winter ... At the moment a very high draw quote, 8 won games. Engine is playing not in eye-catching manner. Normely computer chess for the strength in Elo! I need more rounds / games to find out a bit about Winter ... for the moment after 80 of 2000 games (round 02/50) not possible to ...

Dr. Deeb, you're clearly an old-school anti-engine specialist, who can steer the opening into favorable closed, strategic opening lines where Simplex is clearly not of 2400 strength. I hope someday you could share your many instructive wins (over the years) against engine opponents. It's become a lo...

Many engines in that 2400 CCRL (or lower) range have very serious positional weaknesses, allowing for competent anti-computer specialists to thrive against them. Tactically, those engines are much stronger than 2400, but things aren't so easy for them when the human anti-computer specialist (HACS) s...
