New RomiChess, soon

[Michael Sherwin]

Wow, what a mind-bending game that was. Can't wait for this new Romi version!

Mind bending is a good description!

Here is analysis of Fat Fritz 1.1

Looked. The initial sacrifice was not the best, obviously. But, nonetheless it was very interesting play by a 2400 CCRL engine. Both engines did find quite a lot of best moves, though. I've always said that OliThink is an underappreciated engine. With some pawn structure code it could be a lot stronger.

I thoroughly agree, a very enjoyable game.

The final results of this match may decide if new Romi will be released.
RomiChess - Yace : 18.0/29 13-6-10 (0=1=1===10=1110=10=11010=11=1) 62% +85
This is just a phenomenal performance by Romi against Yace. This is the game I woke up to. Romi takes no prisoners. She is reminding me of the RomiChessNG series. And NG stood for Ninja Girl, lol.

The final results of this match may decide if new Romi will be released.

If you don't release it you'd better stay at home even after the COVID is over.

It does look ripe for release, Mike! Thanks in advance!

Well I thought about changing ID with a corpse and in the future releasing new versions under the name Chromises and no one would ever be the wiser!

[Damir]

I think Chromid name sound better...

Tal lives again!

Freakin' bazooka, those are some attacking games. Does it do that with black as well?

If it does and it has a strength adjustment, this could become my favorite engine to play against. I love engines that create sharp games and sometimes even make somewhat unsound, but interesting moves.

I have not scanned the games. Both games were in progress when I checked. I will look for a game when Romi was black.
