Hi Swami,

For Romi to win this, the latest changes to RomiChess would have to be really good. I have contradictory results in my testing so far and so I really have no clue. This group of engines looks to be a very evenly matched group of engines and it is much to hard to pick a winner. I did not vote!

I'll go for Matacz and Snitch.
I haven't tested RomiChess yet, so it's a bit of an unknown for me. :wink:

That's Okay Michael, You need not vote when your engine is playing,It's Tony vs Graham for this division alone, I know that Tony will pick Romi, I wonder what the next engine is :lol:

I picked Romi and TCB. I had to pick Romi, otherwise Mike will mail bomb me. Romi is stronger than Matacz at your time control, and it is stronger than most of the others except for TCB and Muse and may be Hermann (due to the latest improvements in Hermann).

You were partially right about Muse but you didn't pick it and you chose TCB over Muse but wait anything can happen to the end result :wink:

Hey Tony,

I would not mail bomb you. I might nail bomb you though--Control. :D

I have had another new idea, so I am now testing NG5 and so far it is better than any previous Romi, Including NG4 that is now playing here. If only I had thought of this a few days ago!

I picked TCB because me like what is classie. :wink: When I first started playing with chess engines, the first engines I had were Crafty, Phalanx, Tcb, Anmon, LG, Yace and few others. Let's put it this way, I only had about 15 or 20 engines on my computer at first before I went crazy and started running engine tournaments. I am so sad to see many of them slip down in rankings but what can I do. Remi ,Dusan, Dieter are no longer programming. Anmon and Crafty are the only ones holding on to their relative rating tho many have surpassed them. I am biased, any time one of those classy engines are playing, I pick them. I would rather have a 1967 Camaro SS than a new Honda S 2000 regards.
Tony.
