Hi Tony and Michael, I have proven to DanaSah with Naum, about middlegame Naum thinks 3 ply deeper, wins easy by tactics and the evaluation differs enough.

2: DanaSah v.2.85k 4,0/30   00=0=00000000000=000=000010100 
2: DanaSah v.3.03  4,0/30   000000=00000=0==0000=10=000000

Since Romi has climbed to the 4th place, it is no longer in the middle. I am going to add two or three stronger engines to lower Romi back to around 6-8th place and also I am going to take out few weaker engines. One that I am going to take out is Zeus, after 570 games it has the same rating as a 27Kb engine namely Nanosachy.

Hi Pedro,

It would appear that Naum has some magic that we will have to discover!

Well Romi was sulking around today and acting all bummed out. When I got her to tell me what was wrong, she said; "Tony must not like me anymore, because he made me look really bad." :cry:

Then she ask me; "What are you going to do about it?"

Thanks a lot Tony! :P

Another reason why I decided to add some stronger opposition. I didnt want the pride to get in to your head, and in turn you know that you would slack. Naum 2.0 is probably only 100 to 120 points stronger than Zappa according to my previous rating list. Here is the list with few games of Naum added...Note that Lime is going to stay as a special opponent to boost your ego. :lol: I have not yet made up my mind on the other opponent that I am going to take out, its going to be either Djinn or Delphil and I am going to update the list with a newer version of Dana, and another engine as time permits. :cry:

I havent played any games with the new version of Dana yet, but I will post my results against Naum 2.0 vs Dana 2.85k by Friday. As I mentioned in the previous post, I will eventually integrate current version of Dana in to the list as time permits.

Guys - this thread is becoming too long. Could you please start a new one to continue your discussions and let this one eventually drop off the page?

Thanks, Graham.

Thanks, Graham.
I will start a new one when I am testing the next version of Romi (in a few days) I dont like to start a new thread without an adequate reason. May be you should start like the mods at CTF, there they have threads that are 20 pages long and no one is complaining.
