Robin is (was?) available at http://www.robinchess.of.pl/
EGM is probably free available, but I don't know where to find it.

Thanks Piotr! I just wrote him an e-mail to inquire about EGM. Now let's hope it will penetrate his spam filter...Piotr Cichy wrote:Yes: Paweł Kobylarz <pwkb7@wp.pl>

Re: Any success with these engines
yes, there are so many engines that do not have necessary features, that's why i decided to limit my testing to something that plays legally without bugs and the one which has some features in it enough to play like a decent 2000's.Tony Thomas wrote:Update # 5

Re: Any success with these engines
Being weak is not a bug you know.. There are many weak engines that plays perfectly legal, no loses on time, no crashes, no wrong mate claim etc. I am very leniant when it comes to losing on time, if an engine loses less than 10% of its games on time, I let it play, anything more, it gets the goat. Also, I do not mind adjusting time controls for engines that doesnt play incremental time controls (chad's chess comes to mind). I guess by the time I am done (most likely by next year), you will have an idea on which engines to avoid, since we play the same time controls.swami wrote:yes, there are so many engines that do not have necessary features, that's why i decided to limit my testing to something that plays legally without bugs and the one which has some features in it enough to play like a decent 2000's.Tony Thomas wrote:Update # 5

Re: Any success with these engines
The only reason I didnt do that is because I assumed that people would think I am using the latest version..I will do so from the next update.beachknight wrote:Hi Tony,
