Hi Ray... wow, thanks for playing with Hamsters! No more looking at the bottom row of the table, at least for a while!

[Spock]

Yes, you're well clear of the bottom !
Did you expect such a big improvement ? I don't visit the forums these days unless I have something to say, so I have no idea what results anyone else is getting...

[Alessandro Scotti]

I am expecting 50 elo with respect to version 0.3, but my tests are not very good at estimating elo, and they seem to overrate 0.3. I would say 0.4 is slightly stronger than Kiwi at blitz, but probably weaker at long time controls.
By the way almost all improvement came from fixing bugs and from implementing the suggestions that Tord and H. G. post every now and then, so I hope they keep them coming!

Any particular reason why Rybka is not listed on your rating list?

Rybka that support Chess960 or FRC should be released after the Mainz tournament or in a Week from now. The final Beta version is almost complete
